We reissue in part prior
comment 15 in our letter dated November 21, 2023. Please indicate in your response letter whether Paulson has provided any recommendation
in connection with the Offer. If yes, revise this section accordingly and provide further detail about the material terms of the strategic
advisory services agreement with Paulson. See Item 9 of Schedule TO and Item 1009(a) of Regulation M-A.
No,
Paulson Investment Company has not solicited the tender of or provided any recommendation related to the Offer to Exchange. No agreement
exists between the Company and Paulson Investment Company to do so. The advisory services agreement was disclosed in a Form 8-K filed
with the SEC on July 23, 2021.
The
Schedule TO will be amended as follows:
Item
5(a) of this Schedule TO is amended to provide that:
“In
July 2021, we engaged Paulson Investment Company (“Paulson”) for strategic advisory services to be delivered over a four-year
term in exchange for 4,000,000 shares of common stock as disclosed on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 23, 2021 and incorporated herein
as Exhibit (d)(2). We have been consulting with Paulson regarding the Offer to Exchange through this strategic advisory services agreement.
We neither entered into a new agreement with Paulson nor incurred additional costs with Paulson related to the Offer to Exchange. Paulson
has no obligation to us, and we have no expectations of Paulson to either solicit the tender of any of the 2021 Investor Warrants
or make a recommendation to its clients about the Offer to Exchange.”
