The Reporting Persons have spoken with senior management and/or the Board in the past on a wide variety of topics including the Issuer’s leadership, its deployment of cash, its compensation policies, particularly as regards to option issuance, and its strategic direction and will remain engaged with senior management and/or the Board to articulate their views on these issues going forward.
The Reporting Persons intend to participate in and influence the affairs of the Issuer through the exercise of their voting rights with respect to their shares of Common Stock.
Each of the Reporting Persons may acquire additional shares of the Issuer or sell or otherwise dispose of any or all of the shares of the Issuer beneficially owned by it. Each Reporting Person may also take any other action with respect to the Issuer or any of its debt or equity securities in any manner permitted by law.
The Reporting Persons do not have any present plan or proposal that would relate or would result in any of the transactions or other matters specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or as such would occur upon completion of any of the actions discussed herein.
