Please reconcile this disclosure with the statements in your Summary of Risk Factors that you have determined that the laws and regulations of the PRC as currently interpreted do not currently apply to you solely because a majority of your executive officers have significant ties to China and/or are located in China.

We have revised the summary risk factor section on page 46 to reconcile and acknowledge that we face risks in connection with the majority of our executive officers and directors being located in China or having significant ties to China.
