The Reporting Persons have engaged in communication with the Issuer and may continue to engage in communications with the Board of Directors of the Issuer regarding the poor performance of the Issuer, and may make proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, management, board structure (including board composition) or operations of the Issuer, purchasing additional Shares, selling some or all of their Shares, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Shares, engaging in discussions with stockholders and others about any of the foregoing of the Issuer, or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.
