Our Board of Directors began declaring quarterly dividends on our common stock in the three months ended March 31, 2014. It is anticipated that
dividends on our common stock will continue to be declared and paid quarterly. However the declaration of any dividend on our common stock is a matter to
be acted upon by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion. Any dividend will be paid out of funds legally available for that purpose. Our payment of
dividends in the future will depend on business conditions, our financial condition, earnings, liquidity and capital requirements and other factors. Refer to
Item 6. Selected Financial Data for cash dividends declared on our common stock for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
