Update on FDA Regulatory Authority
On May 5, 2016, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced its final rule to deem e-cigarettes, hookah tobacco, pipe tobacco, nicotine gels and certain other products (other than accessories of such newly deemed tobacco products) as products meeting the statutory definition of “tobacco product,” and therefore subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. The final rule becomes effective 90 days from May 10, 2016. The Company does not believe there are any material differences between the proposed rule released on April 21, 2014 and discussed in the Preliminary Prospectus and the final rule announced on May 5, 2016 as they pertain to the Company.
