•Provide a more detailed and comprehensive discussion and analysis of the business drivers, significant costs, and decisions by management impacting your results of operations, and describe the particular matters associated with your references to the "achievement of synergies," "capacity congestion," "logistics industry challenges," "strategic corporate accounts," and "margin normalization."

Therefore, it appears that you should specify the total number of shares beneficially owned and the percentage of the class so owned, considering such rights, notwithstanding your ability or inability to satisfy your obligations as the issuer of those instruments, as may be attributed to having an insufficient number of authorized shares.
