There can be no assurance that the Proposal will be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or if the Proposal is approved, that any of the conditions to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Proposal will be satisfied in a timely manner or at all. If the Reporting Persons are unable to reach an agreement with the Board of Directors of the Company or any conditions to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Proposal are not satisfied, the Reporting Persons may consider alternatives to acquire some or all of the outstanding publicly held shares of the Company.
