<div>Both are incorrect. It involves a separate and voluntary agreement between us and the new registrant in regards to a completely optional process. We have just as many customers who decide to transfer first, then change the ownership. Our only concern is in protecting the interests of our customers and ensuring secure transfers of ownership.<BR></div>
