However, because the Company believed that GoMedigap’s financial statements would not be material to the Company’s shareholders and would be of limited value to investors, the Company requested relief from the SEC from the requirement to provide historical audited financial statements of GoMedigap otherwise required by Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X.

The Company will provide the ASC Disclosure in the Company’s Form 10-K no later than 75 calendar days after the Company’s year-end or file the Audited Statement no later than 71 calendar days after the date this Current Report is required to be filed.
