All of the investors were non-U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) or accredited investors (as that term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and those investors purchased in transactions outside of the United States or exempt from the registration requirements of Securities Act pursuant to Rule 506, respectively.
