 of 2012, or the JOBS Act. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

| · | reduced obligations with respect to financial data, including only being required to present two years                                         
 of audited financial statements, in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced “Management’s 
 Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;                                                          |

| · | an exception from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley 
 Act of 2002, as amended;                                                                                    |

| · | reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements in our periodic reports, proxy statements 
 and registration statements;                                                                               |

| · | exemptions from the requirements of holding non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden 
 parachute arrangements; and                                                                                |

| · | an exemption from compliance with the requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding 
 the communication of critical audit matters in the auditor’s report on financial statements.                  |

We may take advantage of these provisions until we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company. We will cease to qualify as an emerging growth company on the date that is the earliest of: (i) December 31, 2025, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $1.235 billion in total annual gross revenues, (iii) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC, which means the market value of our common shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over the prior three-year period. We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced reporting burdens. We have taken advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements in this prospectus supplement. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than you might obtain from other public companies in which you hold equity interests. In addition, under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards and to adopt certain of the reduced disclosure requirements available to emerging
