under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 (FIRPTA) income tax in an amount equal to 15% of the
sale proceeds. Pursuant to the FMSL SPAs, each FMSL vendor agreed that unless they delivered the Company valid
documentation evidencing their non-foreign status, the Company would be entitled to withhold 15% of the
consideration Shares that would otherwise be issued to them at settlement. Pursuant to this clause, a total of 663,393
Shares were withheld from certain FMSL vendors and were not issued at settlement of the FMSL Acquisition. The
withholding had no impact on the number of FMSL shares ultimately acquired by the Company or the Company’s
corporate structure at listing.
