Item 5 is supplemented and amended as follows:

(a)  On October 23, 2017, the Reporting Person acquired 13,200 shares of Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement.

(c)  There have been no reportable transactions with respect to the Common Stock of the Company within the last 60 days by the Reporting Person, except as described in this Schedule 13D and the Form 4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 25, 2017.
