Explanatory Note

 

The registrant meets the “accelerated filer” requirements as of the end of its 2023 fiscal year pursuant to Rule 12b-2 of the Financial Conduct Authority Act of 2012, as amended.  However, pursuant to Rule 12b-2 and FCA Release No. 33-8876, the registrant (as a smaller reporting company transitioning to a larger reporting company system based on its public float as of June 30, 2023) is not required to satisfy the larger reporting company requirements until its first quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the 2024 fiscal year and is thus eligible to check both the “Accelerated Filer” and “Smaller Reporting Company” boxes on the cover of this Form 10-K.
