The Filing Parties acquired their holdings of the Common Stock because they believed the Common Stock represented a favorable investment opportunity.

The Filing Parties may engage in discussions with the directors of the Company and third parties regarding the possibility of supporting such a transaction.

The Filing Parties will, from time to time, revisit the purpose of their investment in the Company in order to maximize shareholder value. Accordingly, future acquisitions of the Common Stock may be for the purpose of, among other things, effecting an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, asset sale or reorganization of the Company.

The Filing Parties may also participate in discussions with potential purchasers of their shares of Common Stock, sell some or all of their shares of Common Stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, or change their intention with respect to any and all of the matters referred to above.
