The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Settlement Agreement, a copy of which is set forth as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and made a part hereof.

On May 22, 2017, Mr. Stéphane Boivin, who as reported in the Company’s Form 8-K/A filed on May 9, 2017, is currently serving as the Company’s Project Manager, was named the Company’s Chief Operating Officer and appointed as a member of the Board of Directors.
