Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Statement.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

On the date of this Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 7), the Filing Persons are the beneficial owners of a total of 28,313,966 shares of Common Stock. On May 20, 2015, the Issuer announced that it had issued 24,997,661 Common Shares in a private placement. The resulting increase in the total number of Common Shares outstanding in connection with the private placement reduced the Filing Persons’ beneficial ownership from 19.7% of the outstanding Common Shares, as reported in Amendment No. 6 to the Filing Persons’ Schedule 13D, to 16.8% of the Common Shares. Such beneficial ownership percentage has been calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a percentage of 168,741,761 Common Shares outstanding, consisting of 142,771,878 Common Shares outstanding on April 27, 2015, as reported by the Issuer in its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 21, 2014, plus (i) 24,997,661 shares issued in the private placement announced by the Issuer, plus (ii) 972,222 shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants owned by FCMI. For a description off such Warrants, see Item 4 of the Filing Persons’ Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 3) filed March 10, 2014. All such shares are owned directly by FCMI.

All shares beneficially owned by FCMI are presently outstanding, other than the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Mr. Friedberg, directly and through his control over FCMI shares held by members of his family and trusts for the benefit of members of his family, may be considered the sole beneficial owner of all of the Common Stock owned by FCMI. Except for such beneficial ownership by Mr. Friedberg, none of the directors or officers of FCMI beneficially own any Common Stock.

None of the Filing Persons and none of the officers or directors of FCMI has effected any transactions in the Common Stock in the 60 days preceding the filing of this Amendment No. 7.
