The ETF Shares will begin trading under the symbol "GLC" on September 25, 2020 on the facilities of the Neo Exchange Inc.

Also in connection with the Restructuring, the directors of the Company were changed to Raj Lala, Elliot Johnson, Scharlet Igo and Keith Crone, and Scharlet Igo became the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
