The Company has determined not to move forward with the offering of its 7.0% senior secured bonds due 2025 (the “Bonds”) and has terminated the Amended and Restated Dealer Manager Agreement by and between the Company and Timbrel Capital, LLC effective February 13, 2021.

In addition, the Company has not filed an Annual Report on Form 1-K for its fiscal year ending June 30, 2021, the fiscal year during which the Offering Statement was qualified.

We request that we be notified of the approval of this withdrawal application by a telephone call to Erin M. Lett of Proskauer Rose LLP at (202) 416-6829. The Company will file an Exit Report on Form 1-Z following the approval of this withdrawal application.
