        On July 1, 2020, the stockholders approved the 2020 Plan Amendment. This Registration Statement is to register the additional 3,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, therefore increasing the total pool of shares of the Company's Common
        Stock pursuant to the 2020 Plan Amendment to 4,607,389 million shares.
