delayed the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the

date.As previously disclosed by the Company in its Form 12b-25
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the

As a result of the filing delay, the Company received a letter

Company that it was not currently in compliance with the NYSEs
continued listing requirements under the timely filing criteria

situations when there are late filings with the SEC.Under the
NYSE Listed Company Manual, the Company will have six months,
from November14, 2016, to file the Quarterly Report with the
SEC.The Company can regain compliance with the NYSE listing
standards at any time during this six-month period once it files
the Quarterly Report with the SEC.If the Company fails to file
the Quarterly Report within such six-month period, the NYSE may
grant, in its discretion, a further extension of up to an
additional six months depending on specific circumstances as
outlined in the rule.
