of acquiring control of the Company.
Although no Reporting Person has any specific plan or proposal to acquire
or dispose of Shares, consistent with its investment purpose, each Reporting
Person at any time and from time to time may acquire additional Shares or
dispose of any or all of its Shares depending upon an ongoing evaluation of the
investment in the Shares, prevailing market conditions, other investment
opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Person and/or other
investment considerations. No Reporting Person has made a determination
regarding a maximum or minimum number of Shares which it may hold at any point
in time.
Also, 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.
Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed a plan or proposal, none
of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals which relate to, or could
result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j),
inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting
