Fir Tree Partners and Mr. Tannenbaum reserve the right to consider or make additional plans and/or proposals in the future. Fir Tree Partners and Mr. Tannenbaum reserve the right to acquire, or dispose of, additional securities of the Issuer, in the ordinary course of business, to the extent deemed advisable in light of its general investment and trading policies, market conditions or other factors. Fir Tree Partners may contact the Issuer and/or other shareholders regarding potential strategies to increase shareholder value. Other than as described above, neither Fir Tree Partners nor Mr. Tannenbaum has present plans or proposals which would result in or relate to any matters listed in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of the Special Instructions For Complying With Schedule 13D.
