BUSINESS

Bamboo Ecologic Corp. (d/b/a RIZOME) is the manufacturer of Rizome bamboo lumber and building
material products. Rizome plants timber grade bamboo as large scale reforestation programs
providing reliable supplies of bamboo fiber and nature based carbon removals. The company’s
current focus areas include the Philippines where it is developing one of largest nature based carbon
emission reduction programs with indigenous communities as a catalyst for an inclusive lumber and
building materials value chain. Rizome is also developing bamboo in partnership with farmers in
southern Florida to provide a regenerative agricultural crop to restore economic viability on diseased
citrus lands. The bamboo developed in Florida will provide a robust supply of timber grade fiber to
make bamboo lumber and building materials competitively available in the USA.

We manufacture and sell bamboo construction materials from our manufacturing center in the
Philippines that also serves as an innovation hub for architects, engineers and designers to work with
structural bamboo as an alternative to steel and concrete. The inherent strength of bamboo and its
ability to be milled into dimensional building materials is allowing professionals to design next
generation buildings that help meet net-zero ambitions. Based on the initial success in the Philippines
the company expects to open additional manufacturing centers in proximity to other bamboo raw
material supplies and will service local markets from these new manufacturing centers.

Rizome has a subsidiary in the Philippines incorporated as Bamboo Ecologic Export Philippines, Inc.
(Rizome Philippines). Rizome wholly owns this subsidiary. Rizome has provided startup funding to
Rizome Philippines through long term loans which will be repaid to Rizome.

Rizome Philippines formally opened the manufacturing center in November of 2022. Rizome is now
manufacturing structural and architectural building materials from this manufacturing center and
expects revenue from product sales to begin at a material level in 2023.

Rizome has common owners and executives with Bamboo Living, Inc., a Hawaii Corporation based in
Pahoa, Hawaii, which manufactures bamboo buildings through a subsidiary in Vietnam known as
Bamboo Hardwoods Vietnam (BHVN). Rizome sells bamboo construction materials at market rates to
BHVN. Rizome has an exclusive license to a subset of Bamboo Living's intellectual property related to
dimensional bamboo building products through a royalty agreement.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

Operating Results - 2022 Compared to 2021


Circumstances which led to the performance of financial statements:

Year ended December 31, 2022 compared to year ended December 31, 2021

Revenue

Revenue for fiscal year 2022 was $95,502, compared to fiscal year 2021 revenue of $0. In late
2022 Rizome formally opened its manufacturing center in Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines and
began to establish its own direct manufacturing capabilities in the Philippines . T h e c o m p a n y
h a d originally expected to ship products in Q2 2022, but due to pandemic related delays the full
production facility was opened in November 2023.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales in 2022 was $91,102, a decrease of approximately $89,668, from costs of
$180,770 in fiscal year 2021. Cost of Sales in 2022 consisted of materials, labor, and overhead
allocated to the 2022 sales. In the first part of 2022, the Company's employees and consultants
continued installing and testing the equipment, harvesting bamboo, and transporting it to the
manufacturing facility and manufacturing test boards. These expenses contributed to the COGS
for 2022.

Gross Margins

2022 gross profit was $4,406 compared to $(180,770) in 2021. 2022 gross profit was slightly
positive due to the increased expenses relating to commissioning the factory, harvesting
bamboo and manufacturing test and production boards.

Expenses

The Company's expenses consist of, among other things, marketing and sales expenses, fees
for professional services, research and development expenses, including the planting of bamboo
for our carbon program and raw material supply, and salaries. Total operating expenses in 2022
were $1,607,280 compared to $2,063,854 in 2021. The majority of the change can be attributed to
$244,000 of reduced consulting & legal expenses, $107,000 of reduced product development
costs, and $45,000 of reduced travel expenses.

Historical results and cash flows:

Historical results and cash flows are not representative of what investors should expect in the
future. Rizome has now prepared the business for starting commercially scaled production of
bamboo building materials and bamboo carbon credits.

In 2022, the company accomplished impo rtan t m ilestone s in its bu sine ss p lan as it
b ring s h ig h qu ality bamboo mate ria ls t o ma rket:
- Entered into a long term bamboo supply agreement with an Community Based Agriculture
Cooperative in close proximity to Rizome's manufacturing center. This community offers tens of
thousands of acres of mature, timber grade bamboo which will supply Rizome Philippines with
adequate bamboo raw materials to scale the business.

- Continued its engagement with Indigenous Communities to plant millions of new bamboo plants
for reforestation and bamboo raw materials supplies for future growth

- Expanded its team of skilled and semi-skilled employees to prepare for the launch of
manufacturing operations

- Sold its first engineered bamboo building materials made at its new manufacturing center in the
Philippines. This milestone sets the stage for revenue acceleration in 2023.

- Received recognition as a top 60-climate solution for the planet by the Elon Musk Foundation’s
carbon capture program with XPrize. Out of over 1,100 solutions evaluated, Rizome’s nature-
based carbon removal program was selected as a top contender for the XPrize.

Conversion upon a Qualified Financing. In the event that the Company issues and sells shares

outstanding in an equity financing with total proceeds to the Company of not less than $1000000
(excluding the conversion of the Notes or other convertible securities issued for capital raising
purposes (e.g., Simple Agreements for Future Equity)) (a "Qualified Financing"), then the
outstanding principal amount of this Note and any unpaid accrued interest shall automatically
convert in whole without any further action by the Holder into Equity Securities sold in the
Qualified Financing at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) the price paid per share for
Equity Securities by the Investors in the Qualified Financing multiplied by 0.88, and (ii) the
quotient resulting from dividing $27000000 by the number of outstanding shares of common
stock of the Company immediately prior to the Qualified Financing (assuming conversion of all
securities convertible into common stock and exercise of all outstanding options and warrants,
but excluding the shares of equity securities of the Company issuable upon the conversion of
the Notes or other convertible securities issued for capital raising purposes (e.g., Simple
Agreements for Future Equity)). The issuance of Equity Securities pursuant to the conversion of
this Note shall be upon and subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to Equity
Securities sold in the Qualified Financing. Notwithstanding this paragraph, if the conversion price
of the Notes as determined pursuant to this paragraph (the "Conversion Price") is less than the
price per share at which Equity Securities are issued in the Qualified Financing, the Company
may, solely at its option, elect to convert this Note into shares of a newly created series of
preferred stock having the identical rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions as Equity
Securities issued in the Qualified Financing, and otherwise on the same terms and conditions,
other than with respect to (if applicable): (i) the per share liquidation preference and the
conversion price for purposes of price-based anti-dilution protection, which will equal the
Conversion Price; and (ii) the per share dividend, which will be the same percentage of the
Conversion Price as applied to determine the per share dividends of the Investors in the
Qualified Financing relative to the purchase price paid by the Investors.

Material Rights
What it means to be a minority holder

As a minority holder you will have limited ability, if at all, to influence our policies or any other
corporate matter, including the election of directors, changes to our company's governance
documents, additional issuances of securities, company repurchases of securities, a sale of the
company or of assets of the company or transactions with related parties.

Dilution

Investors should understand the potential for dilution. The investor's stake in a company could
be diluted due to the company issuing additional shares. In other words, when the company
issues more shares, the percentage of the company that you own will decrease, even though the
value of the company may increase. You will own a smaller piece of a larger company. This
increase in number of shares outstanding could result from a stock offering (such as an initial
public offering, another crowdfunding round, a venture capital round or angel investment),
employees exercising stock options, or by conversion of certain instruments (e.g. convertible
notes, preferred shares or warrants) into stock.

If we decide to issue more shares, an investor could experience value dilution, with each share
being worth less than before, and control dilution, with the total percentage an investor owns
being less than before. There may also be earnings dilution, with a reduction in the amount
earned per share (though this typically occurs only if we offer dividends, and most early stage
companies are unlikely to offer dividends, preferring to invest any earnings into the company).

The type of dilution that hurts early-stage investors most occurs when the company sells more
shares in a "down round," meaning at a lower valuation than in earlier offerings.

If you are making an investment expecting to own a certain percentage of the company or
expecting each share to hold a certain amount of value, it's important to realize how the value of
those shares can decrease by actions taken by the company. Dilution can make drastic changes
to the value of each share, ownership percentage, voting control, and earnings per share.

RISK FACTORS

Uncertain Risk

An investment in the Company (also referred to as "we", "us", "our", or "Company") involves a
high degree of risk and should only be considered by those who can afford the loss of their
entire investment. Furthermore, the purchase of any of the Common Stock of Rizome should
only be undertaken by persons whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to
indefinitely retain an illiquid investment. Each investor in the Company should consider all of the
information provided to such potential investor regarding the Company as well as the following
risk factors, in addition to the other information listed in the Company's Form C. The following
risk factors are not intended, and shall not be deemed to be, a complete description of the
commercial and other risks inherent in the investment in the Company.

Our business projections are only projections

There can be no assurance that the Company will meet our projections. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to find sufficient demand for our product, that people
think it's a better option than a competing product, or that we will able to provide the service at a
level that allows the Company to make a profit and still attract business.

Any valuation at this stage is difficult to assess

The valuation for the offering was established by the Company. Unlike listed companies that are
valued publicly through market-driven stock prices, the valuation of private companies,
especially startups, is difficult to assess and you may risk overpaying for your investment.

The transferability of the Securities you are buying is limited

Any Common Stock of Rizome purchased through this crowdfunding campaign is subject to
SEC limitations of transfer. This means that the stock that you purchase cannot be resold for a
period of one year. The exception to this rule is if you are transferring the stock back to the
Company, to an "accredited investor," as part of an offering registered with the Commission, to a
member of your family, trust created for the benefit of your family, or in connection with your
death or divorce.

Your investment could be illiquid for a long time

You should be prepared to hold this investment for several years or longer. For the 12 months
following your investment there will be restrictions on how you can resell the securities you
receive. More importantly, there is no established market for these securities and there may
never be one. As a result, if you decide to sell these securities in the future, you may not be able
to find a buyer. The Company may be acquired by an existing player in the business materials
industry. However, that may never happen or it may happen at a price that results in you losing
money on this investment.

If the Company cannot raise sufficient funds it will not succeed

The Company, is offering common shares in the amount of up to $3,931,700.78 in this offering,
and may close on any investments that are made. Even if the maximum amount is raised, the
Company is likely to need additional funds in the future in order to grow, and if it cannot raise
those funds for whatever reason, including reasons relating to the Company itself or the broader
economy, it may not survive. If the Company manages to raise only the minimum amount of
funds, sought, it will have to find other sources of funding for some of the plans outlined in "Use
of Proceeds."

We may not have enough capital as needed and may be required to raise more capital.

We anticipate needing access to credit in order to support our working capital requirements as
we grow. Although interest rates are low, it is still a difficult environment for obtaining credit on
favorable terms. If we cannot obtain credit when we need it, we could be forced to raise
additional equity capital, modify our growth plans, or take some other action. Issuing more equity
may require bringing on additional investors. Securing these additional investors could require
pricing our equity below its current price. If so, your investment could lose value as a result of
this additional dilution. In addition, even if the equity is not priced lower, your ownership
percentage would be decreased with the addition of more investors. If we are unable to find
additional investors willing to provide capital, then it is possible that we will choose to cease our
sales activity. In that case, the only asset remaining to generate a return on your investment
could be our intellectual property. Even if we are not forced to cease our sales activity, the
unavailability of credit could result in the Company performing below expectations, which could
adversely impact the value of your investment.

Terms of subsequent financings may adversely impact your investment

We will likely need to engage in common equity, debt, or preferred stock financings in the future,
which may reduce the value of your investment in the Common Stock. Interest on debt
securities could increase costs and negatively impact operating results. Preferred stock could be
issued in series from time to time with such designation, rights, preferences, and limitations as
needed to raise capital. The terms of preferred stock could be more advantageous to those
investors than to the holders of Common Stock. In addition, if we need to raise more equity
capital from the sale of Common Stock, institutional or other investors may negotiate terms that
are likely to be more favorable than the terms of your investment, and possibly a lower purchase
price per share.

Management Discretion as to Use of Proceeds

Our success will be substantially dependent upon the discretion and judgment of our
management team with respect to the application and allocation of the proceeds of this Offering.
The use of proceeds described below is an estimate based on our current business plan. We,
however, may find it necessary or advisable to re-allocate portions of the net proceeds reserved
for one category to another, and we will have broad discretion in doing so.

Projections: Forward Looking Information

Any projections or forward looking statements regarding our anticipated financial or operational
performance are hypothetical and are based on management's best estimate of the probable
results of our operations and will not have been reviewed by our independent accountants.
These projections will be based on assumptions which management believes are reasonable.
Some assumptions invariably will not materialize due to unanticipated events and circumstances
beyond management's control. Therefore, actual results of operations will vary from such
projections, and such variances may be material. Any projected results cannot be guaranteed.

We are reliant on one main type of service

All of our current services are variants on one type of service, providing bamboo products. Our
revenues are therefore dependent upon the market for bamboo.

Developing new products and technologies entails significant risks and uncertainties

Delays or cost overruns in the development of our bamboo building materials and failure
of the product to meet our performance estimates may be caused by, among other things,
unanticipated technological hurdles, difficulties in manufacturing, changes to design and
regulatory hurdles. Any of these events could materially and adversely affect our operating
performance and results of operations.

Minority Holder; Securities with Voting Rights

The common stock that an investor is buying has voting rights attached to them. However, you
will be part of the minority shareholders of the Company and have agreed to appoint the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company (the "CEO"), or his or her successor, as your voting proxy.
You are trusting in management discretion in making good business decisions that will grow
your investments. Furthermore, in the event of a liquidation of our company, you will only be
paid out if there is any cash remaining after all of the creditors of our company have been paid
out.

You are trusting that management will make the best decision for the company

You are trusting in management discretion. You are buying securities as a minority holder, and
therefore must trust the management of the Company to make good business decisions that
grow your investment.

Insufficient Funds

The company might not sell enough securities in this offering to meet its operating needs and
fulfill its plans, in which case it will cease operating and you will get nothing. Even if we sell all
the common stock we are offering now, the Company will (possibly) need to raise more funds in
the future, and if it can't get them, we will fail. Even if we do make a successful offering in the
future, the terms of that offering might result in your investment in the company being worth less,
because later investors might get better terms.

This offering involves "rolling closings," which may mean that earlier investors may not have the
benefit of information that later investors have.

Once we meet our target amount for this offering, we may request that StartEngine instruct the
escrow agent to disburse offering funds to us. At that point, investors whose subscription
agreements have been accepted will become our investors. All early-stage companies are
subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and it is not uncommon for material changes to
be made to the offering terms, or to companies' businesses, plans or prospects, sometimes on
short notice. When such changes happen during the course of an offering, we must file an
amended to our Form C with the SEC, and investors whose subscriptions have not yet been
accepted will have the right to withdraw their subscriptions and get their money back. Investors
whose subscriptions have already been accepted, however, will already be our investors and will
have no such right.

Our new product could fail to achieve the sales projections we expected

Our growth projections are based on an assumption that with an increased advertising and
marketing budget our products will be able to gain traction in the marketplace at a faster rate
than our current products have. It is possible that our new products will fail to gain market
acceptance for any number of reasons. If the new products fail to achieve significant sales and
acceptance in the marketplace, this could materially and adversely impact the value of your
investment.

We face significant market competition

We will compete with larger, established companies who currently have products on the market
and/or various respective product development programs. They may have much better financial
means and marketing/sales and human resources than us. They may succeed in developing
and marketing competing equivalent products earlier than us, or superior products than those
developed by us. There can be no assurance that competitors will render our technology or
products obsolete or that the products developed by us will be preferred to any existing or newly
developed technologies. It should further be assumed that competition will intensify.

We are an early stage company and have limited revenue and operating history

The Company has a short history, and until recently few customers, and effectively no
revenue. If you are investing in this company, it's because you think that bamboo building
materials are a good idea, that the team will be able to successfully market, and sell the
product or service, that we can price them right and sell them to enough people so that the
Company will succeed. Further, we have never turned a profit and there is no assurance that
we will ever be profitable.

The cost of enforcing our trademarks and copyrights could prevent us from enforcing them

Trademark and copyright litigation has become extremely expensive. Even if we believe that a
competitor is infringing on one or more of our trademarks or copyrights, we might choose not to
file suit because we lack the cash to successfully prosecute a multi-year litigation with an
uncertain outcome; or because we believe that the cost of enforcing our trademark(s) or
copyright(s) outweighs the value of winning the suit in light of the risks and consequences of
losing it; or for some other reason. Choosing not to enforce our trademark(s) or copyright(s)
could have adverse consequences for the Company, including undermining the credibility of our
intellectual property, reducing our ability to enter into sublicenses, and weakening our
attempts to prevent competitors from entering the market. As a result, if we are unable to
enforce our trademark(s) or copyright(s) because of the cost of enforcement, your investment in
the Company could be significantly and adversely affected.

The loss of one or more of our key personnel, or our failure to attract and retain other highly
qualified personnel in the future, could harm our business

To be successful, the Company requires capable people to run its day to day operations. As the
Company grows, it will need to attract and hire additional employees in sales, marketing, design,
development, operations, finance, legal, human resources and other areas. Depending on the
economic environment and the Company's performance, we may not be able to locate or attract
qualified individuals for such positions when we need them. We may also make hiring mistakes,
which can be costly in terms of resources spent in recruiting, hiring and investing in the incorrect
individual and in the time delay in locating the right employee fit. If we are unable to attract, hire
and retain the right talent or make too many hiring mistakes, it is likely our business will suffer
from not having the right employees in the right positions at the right time. This would likely
adversely impact the value of your investment.

We rely on third parties to provide services essential to the success of our business

We rely on third parties to provide a variety of essential business functions for us, including
shipping, accounting, legal work, public relations, advertising, and distribution. It is possible that
some of these third parties will fail to perform their services or will perform them in an
unacceptable manner. It is possible that we will experience delays, defects, errors, or other
problems with their work that will materially impact our operations and we may have little or no
recourse to recover damages for these losses. A disruption in these key or other suppliers'
operations could materially and adversely affect our business. As a result, your investment could
be adversely impacted by our reliance on third parties and their performance.

Production Risk

As a startup manufacturing company meeting slat and panel production goals may be a
challenge as we mature our business processes and manufacturing procedures.

COVID Travel

Not being able to travel easily to SE Asia could cause production slowdowns as we continue to
hire additional management in the Philippines.

Funding Risk

If we overextend buying new equipment without being able to raise additional funds, we run the
risk of our expansion becoming capital constrained.

Regulatory/Geopolitical Risk

We operate in developing countries that can have higher operational risk than the U.S. This
presents long-term risk for supply chain reliability, though we mitigate it by planting in the U.S.
and diversifying supply.

Demand Risk

If new construction drastically falls worldwide, there may be less market demand for bamboo
products.

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER

The common stock sold in the Regulation CF offering, may not be transferred by any purchaser,
for a period of one-year beginning when the securities were issued, unless such securities are
transferred:

(1) to the Company;

(2) to an accredited investor;

(3) as part of an offering registered with the SEC; or

(4) to a member of the family of the purchaser or the equivalent, to a trust controlled by the
purchaser, to a trust created for the benefit of a member of the family of the purchaser or the
equivalent, or in connection with the death or divorce of the purchaser or other similar
circumstance.

Regulation Crowdfunding (§ 227.100-503), the issuer certifies that it has reasonable grounds to
believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form C and has duly caused this
Form to be signed on its behalf by the duly authorized undersigned, on April 28, 2023.

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes
the inputs in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which
inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.

8
These tiers include:

Level 1: defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets.


Level 2: defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable;
and
Level 3: defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop
its own assumptions.

Concentrations of Credit Risks

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and
cash equivalents and a loan to its subsidiary. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions
of high credit worthiness. The Company’s management plans to assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of
any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products and services in accordance with ASC 606,”Revenue
Recognition” following the five steps procedure:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with customers


Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies its obligation by transferring control of the good or service to the
customer. A performance obligation is satisfied over time if one of the following criteria are met:

a. the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the entity performs;
b. the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or
enhanced; or
c. the entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity, and the entity has an
enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

The Company’s primary performance obligation is the delivery of product to customers. The company recognized $95,508 in
revenue as of December 31st, 2022 and deferred $12,814 of revenue for cash deposits received prior to delivery of product as of

NOTE 11- RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued. The Company’s management believes that

NOTE 12- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated events subsequent to December 31, 2022, to assess the need for potential recognition or
disclosure in this report. Such events were evaluated through April 15, 2022, the date these financial statements were
available to be issued.

14
Convertible note conversions – On January 3rd, 2023 the company converted $1,141,780.67 of unpaid principal and
accrued interest to 3,494,913 shares of the Company’s common stock per the terms of the convertible note

Promissory Notes – The company raised in the 1st Quarter of 2023 $65K via Promissory Notes from related parties.

Equity Issuances – The company raised $210,000 from selling common stock via a 506(b) offering.

NOTE 13 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying balance sheet has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of
assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The company has realized losses every year
since inception and may continue to generate losses.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the next twelve months following the date the financial
statements were available to be issued is dependent upon its ability to produce revenues and/or obtain financing
sufficient to meet current and future obligations and deploy such to produce profitable operating results. Management
has evaluated these conditions and plans to generate revenues and raise capital as needed to satisfy its capital needs.
No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts. These factors, among others, raise
substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset
amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities.

NOTE 14 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

COVID-19

The spread of COVID-19 has severely impacted many local economies around the globe. In many countries,
businesses are being forced to cease or limit operations for long or indefinite periods of time. Measures taken to
contain the spread of the virus, including travel bans, quarantines, social distancing, and closures of non- essential
services have triggered significant disruptions to businesses worldwide, resulting in an economic slowdown. Global
stock markets have also experienced great volatility and a significant weakening. Governments and central banks have
responded with monetary and fiscal interventions to stabilize economic conditions.

The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the effectiveness of government and central bank
responses remains unclear currently. It is not possible to reliably estimate the duration and severity of these
consequences, as well as their impact on the financial position and results of the Company for future periods. Note:
this disclosure assumes there is no significant doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern.

We are an emerging growth company, and any decision on our part to comply only with certain reduced
reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies could make our
common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an emerging growth company, and, for as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may
choose to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but
not to “emerging growth companies,” including: not being required to have our independent registered public
accounting firm audit our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and annual report on Form
10-K; and exemptions from the requirements of holding nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation and
stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We can continue to be an emerging
growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act, for up to five years following our IPO.
