Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 of the Exchange Act, the Reporting Persons expressly declare that the filing of this statement shall not be construed as an admission that any such person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) and/or Section 13(g) of the Exchange Act or otherwise, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this statement held by any other person.

Each of the Reporting Persons acquired the shares of Common Stock for investment purposes. Each of the Reporting Persons expects to continuously review such person’s investment in the Issuer and, depending on various factors, including but not limited to, the price of the shares of Common Stock, the terms and conditions of the transaction, prevailing market conditions and such other considerations as such Reporting Person deems relevant, may at any time or from time to time, and subject to any required regulatory approvals, acquire additional shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock from time to time on the open market, in privately-negotiated transactions, directly from the Issuer, or upon the exercise or conversion of securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock.

Each Reporting Person also may, at any time, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and regulatory requirements, dispose or distribute of some or all of its Common Stock or such other securities it owns or may subsequently acquire depending on various factors, including but not limited to, the price of Common Stock, the terms and conditions of the transaction and prevailing market conditions, as well as liquidity and diversification objectives. Each Reporting Person may, from time to time, enter into stock trading plans intended to satisfy the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.


CUSIP NO. 60039Q101   Page 6 of 13

Consistent with their investment intent, each Reporting Person may from time to time discuss with the Issuer’s management, directors and other shareholders (including the other Reporting Persons) the Issuer’s performance, business, strategic direction, prospects and management, as well as various ways of maximizing stockholder value. Each Reporting Person intends to participate in and influence the affairs of the Issuer through the exercise of their respective voting rights with respect to their shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group” for purposes of
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.

Each Reporting Person may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider its position and/or change its purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) The aggregate number and percentage of Common Stock of the Issuer deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is 896,800 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 11% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.
