Risk Factors, page 80
1.We note that your risk factor states that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware
and the federal district court for the District of Delaware have concurrent jurisdiction for
claims arising under the federal securities laws, including Securities Act claims. However,
your Form of Proposed Certificate of Incorporation on Annex C includes an exclusive
federal forum (the federal district courts of the United States of America) for Securities
Act claims. Please revise your disclosure and/or your Form of Proposed Certificate of
Incorporation to reconcile this discrepancy. If you have an exclusive federal forum for
Securities Act claims, please state that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would
enforce such provision. In that regard, we note that Section 22 of the Securities Act
creates concurrent jurisdiction for state and federal courts over all suits brought to enforce
