Remarks
This amendment to the Form 4 filed by the reporting person on December 19, 2017 (the "Previous Form 4") is being filed solely to correct the Transaction Code as reported in Column 3 of Table I of the Previous Form 4. Due to an administrative oversight, the Transaction Code in the Previous Form 4 was incorrectly listed as "A" for each transaction and has been corrected to "P" to reflect a purchase by the reporting person and the reporting person's spouse.
