On April 30, 2022, the Registrant entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Multelements Limited (“Parent”) and Diversefuture Limited (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

As a result of the Merger, the Registrant has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statements. The Registrant hereby removes from registration, by means of this Post-Effective Amendment, any and all of the securities registered under the Registration Statements that remained unsold as of the Effective Time.
