I spoke with Yusuf Okafor (GC at Quorum) this afternoon. He confirmed that the Company views the offering as shelved indefinitely but is not formally terminating the engagement or the underwriting arrangement at this time. They may revisit in Q4 2021 or early 2022 if the stock recovers, but there is no specific timeline and no one is holding their breath.

Under current SEC rules, it is valid for three years from the date of effectiveness — i.e., through September 18, 2023.

**4. Final Invoice.** Jennifer — please prepare a final invoice for time-to-date. WIP as of June 30 is approximately $87,400 in fees and $3,200 in disbursements, which is well within the $175,000 fee cap established in the engagement letter. Let's bill through end of July to capture any residual time this month and then close out the billing.
