In light of the apparent re-election of the incumbent Board of Directors of the Issuer, the Reporting Persons have sold a portion of their shares of Common Stock and may continue to sell shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. However, the Reporting Persons evaluate their investment in the Common Stock on a continual basis, and consistent with their investment intent, the Reporting Persons may engage in communications with one or more shareholders of the Company, one or more officers of the Company and/or one or more members of the board of directors of the Company regarding the Company, including but not limited to its operations.
