(f)The Reporting Person is a citizen of the United States.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations

 

The Reporting Person used personal funds to make the purchases of the Common Stock listed on Schedule I hereto.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

The Reporting Person acquired the securities for the purpose of acquisition, restructuring or changing control and management of the Issuer, to seek to amend the Issuer’s articles of incorporation, bylaws or other instruments corresponding thereto which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person or entity, and to consolidate or merge the Issuer with Prodigy Processing Solutions, the business entity currently owned and controlled by the Reporting Person.

 

For the reasons stated in Item 5(e), the Reporting Person abandoned the plan as provided above on October 28, 2022, but reserves the right to engage in such a transaction in the future.

(a)Aggregate number and percentage of class beneficially owned: 265,963 shares, or 9.9% of the class, based on 2,671,035 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 27, 2022.
