~~INVENT~~On ~~VENTURES~~May 14, 2015, ~~INC~~the Company received a written "Wells Notice" from the Staff (the "Staff") of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") indicating the Staff’s preliminary determination to recommend that the Commission file an action against the Company for violations of certain federal securities laws. The Staff informed the Company that the Wells Notice relates to the company’s internal controls, portfolio holdings, valuation procedures, stock price and market for its securities as reflected in the Company’s financial results from April 12, 2010 to present. The Wells Notice allegations involve a former officer and current officer and director of the Company.

~~Date:~~A Wells Notice is neither a formal allegation of wrongdoing nor a finding that any violations of law have occurred. Rather, it provides the Company with an opportunity to respond to issues raised by the Staff and offer its perspective prior to any Commission decision to institute proceedings. If the Staff makes a recommendation to the Commission, the recommendations may involve a civil injunctive action, public administrative proceeding, and/or cease-and-desist proceeding, and may seek remedies that include an injunction and/or cease and desist order, disgorgement, pre-judgment interest, and civil money penalties. ~~May~~At 1this time the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the investigation, ~~2015~~any potential enforcement actions or any other impact on the Company that may arise as a result of such investigation.

This matter will be submitted to the shareholders under an information statement. These actions are subject to the filing of an information statement, a preliminary version of which we expect to filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by May 22, 2015 and, pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, will not be effective until approximately June 23, 2015.
