Mr. Almerini is a Certified Public Accountant (New York), a Registered Principal (Series 27 FINOP) with FINRA, and graduated magna cum laude from Georgetown University.

 

Other than the Letter of Understanding, there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Almerini and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Almerini was selected as an officer of the Company. Mr. Almerini has no family relationship required to be disclosed under Item 401(d) of Regulation S-K. In addition, Mr. Almerini is not a party to any current or proposed transaction with the Company requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
