Representatives of the Reporting Persons have expressed concerns to management and the board of directors of the Issuer regarding the leadership and corporate governance of its business. JEC expects to continue sharing its views with management and directors of the Issuer, and from time to time representatives of the Reporting Persons may hold additional discussions with third parties or with management or Board members of the Company in which the Reporting Persons may suggest or take a position with respect to potential changes in the operations, management or capital structure of the Company as a means of enhancing shareholder value.

 

The Reporting Persons have also had discussions with Costa Brava Partnership III L.P. and its affiliates (collectively, “Costa Brava”) regarding the Issuer.
