We also note that the alternate pages provided at the end of the primary prospectus do not address all of the potential implications of these two scenarios. For instance, in the event the company's shares are not listed on Nasdaq and the company is quoted on the Pink markets, the resale offering must remain at a fixed price for the duration of the offering. In addition, the number of shares reflected in the Offering Summary on page Alt-9 does not reflect the two potential outcomes (with the primary offering closing and without). Please revise the alternate pages, adding pages where required, to reflect the implications of each potential outcome. Specifically, ensure you include risk factor disclosure addressing the impacts if the Nasdaq listing is not approved. Selling Shareholders, page Alt-11 8.We note that Vertical Holdings LLC has been added as a selling shareholder.
