WHEREAS, on June 25, 2018, the parties stipulated to and filed with the Court a 

proposed schedule governing the deadlines related to pleadings in this matter, and on June 26, 

2018, the Court filed its order approving the June 25, 2018 Joint Stipulation (“June 26, 2018 

Scheduling Order”);

WHEREAS, on November 5, 2018, the parties stipulated to and filed with the Court a 

stipulation (“November 5, 2018 Joint Stipulation”), which provided that in the event the 

Company made an announcement on or before November 21, 2018 that its historical financials 

can no longer be relied upon and/or a restatement of historical financials is warranted, the parties 

shall present for the Court’s consideration a new proposed schedule for an amendment to the 

Consolidated Complaint and any response thereto to supersede the June 26, 2018 Scheduling 

Order, and otherwise, on or before November 21, 2018, the Defendants shall file and serve their 

responses to the Consolidated Complaint with briefing on any motion to dismiss to proceed as set 

forth in the June 26, 2018 Scheduling Order;

WHEREAS, on November 7, 2018, the Court filed its order approving the November 5, 

2018 Joint Stipulation;

WHEREAS, on November 15, 2018, the Company filed a Form 8-K with the U.S. 

Securities and Exchange Commission in which the Company announced that certain of the 

Company’s financial statements previously issued should no longer be relied upon because of 

errors, and that the Company intends to restate its financial statements for prior periods as 

required and provided preliminary estimates for changes in revenue (“November 15, 2018 Form 

8-K”);

WHEREAS, after meeting and conferring, in order to avoid the unnecessary expenditure 

of judicial resources or effort by the Court or the parties, the parties have agreed to a proposed 

schedule, subject to the Court’s approval, which will allow time for lead plaintiff to assess the 

November 15, 2018 Form 8-K and file an amended complaint;
