following the year in which Offering takes place,<br />

shall range from 50% to 100% of the Company’s<br />

on the overall financial position of the Company<br />

and its working capital needs at the relevant time<br />

(including but not limited to the Company’s business<br />

and other factors including tax and regulatory<br />
