Schedule TO-I filed August 9, 2023
File No. 005-92867
Dear James O’Grady:
We have reviewed your filing and have the following comments. In some of our
comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your
disclosure.
Please respond to these comments by providing the requested information or advise us as
soon as possible when you will respond. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts
and circumstances, please tell us why in your response.
After reviewing your response to these comments, we may have additional comments.
Defined terms used herein have the same meaning as in your filing.
Schedule TO-I filed August 9, 2023
General
1.We note your disclosure that if you “have not accepted for payment the Shares
[stockholders] have tendered to [you] by 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on October 5,
2023, the 40th business day from the commencement of the Offer, [stockholders] may
also withdraw [their] Shares at any time thereafter.” Please reconcile this date with the
requirement set forth in Exchange Act Rule 13e-4(f)(2)(ii) and the definition of business
day in Rule 13e-4(a)(3).
2.Given the significant percentage of outstanding Shares sought in the Tender Offer, please
supplementally explain your conclusion that pro forma financial information showing the
effect of the Tender Offer (if fully subscribed) are not required pursuant to Item 10 of
Schedule TO and Item 1010(b) of Regulation M-A.

3.We note your disclosure that in determining to proceed with the offer, management and
the Board of Directors “considered certain evaluations of [y]our current assets and
business development strategies.” Please revise this statement to provide additional detail
regarding such evaluations and how they informed your intention to seek to purchase
approximately 21.9% of the outstanding Shares. Refer to Item 1006(a) and Item 1011(c)
of Regulation M-A.
Conditions of the Offer, page 22
4.You have included a condition that will be triggered by “any general suspension of trading
in, or limitation on prices for, securities on any United States national securities exchange
or in the over-the-counter market.” Please revise to explain what would be considered a
limitation on prices for securities on any United States national securities exchange or in
the over-the-counter market.
5.We note the following statement on page 24: “Any determination by us concerning the
events described above will be final and binding on all parties.” Please revise this
statement to include a qualifier indicating that stockholders are not foreclosed from
challenging your determination in a court of competent jurisdiction.
6.Refer to the first paragraph in this section and the statement in the parenthetical that your
own actions or inactions may "trigger" an offer condition and allow you to terminate this
tender offer. All offer conditions must be objective and outside the control of the bidder
in a tender offer to avoid implicating Regulation 14E's prohibition on illusory offers.
Revise the language in the parenthetical accordingly, to avoid implying that your own
actions or inactions may allow you to terminate the offer.
7.Refer to the third bullet point on page 23, which allows you to terminate this tender offer
based on a "material change in United States or any other currency exchange rates or a
suspension of or limitation on the markets therefor." A condition that is triggered by any
significant change in ANY currency exchange rates of any currency would appear to be
extremely broad and difficult to measure. Please revise to quantify how a material change
would be measured in this context, or advise.
Incorporation by Reference, page 25
8.Refer to the following disclosure on page 25 of the offer materials: "Any statement
contained in any document incorporated by reference into this Offer to Purchase shall be
deemed to be modified or superseded to the extent that an inconsistent statement is made
in this Offer to Purchase or any subsequently filed document. Any statement so modified
or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a
part of this Offer to Purchase." To the extent that information in this Offer to Purchase
materially changes, these offer materials must be amended. See Rule 13e-4(c)(3). Please
revise to confirm, and to avoid implying that an obligation to amend may be satisfied
by any (emphasis added) subsequently filed document.
