No. 19. Our revised legal opinion is attached as Exhibit 5.1 to the Amendment No. 3. |
In addition to the changes referred to above, I note that the Company has made additional changes in Amendment No. 3 to (i) reduce the size of the offering, (ii) to decrease the assumed purchase price of the units in the offering, and (iii) to expand the warrant coverage in the offering to include a non-tradeable warrant as part of the units. These additional changes were made in light of current market conditions.
