As we discussed yesterday on the telephone regarding the comment letter dated December 14, 2016 to the Company from the staff of the Securities Exchange Commission (the “Comment Letter”), the Company hereby requests an extension of the time period in which it must submit its response to the Comment Letter. The Company anticipates that it will file its response to the Comment Letter by January 13, 2016.
