Management Comments
- The Reporting Person expects to continue to engage in such sales (with a strong preference for sales to the Issuer), but the Reporting Person may both acquire additional Common Stock or dispose of any or all of the Common Stock, in each case, depending upon an ongoing evaluation of the investment in the Common Stock, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, other investment considerations and/or other factors.
- Additionally, while the Reporting Person reserves the right to make sales from time to time, it is its intent as of the date of this Amendment to maintain such sufficient ownership of the Issuer's Common Stock so the Reporting Person retains the right to appoint at least one director to the Board of the Issuer pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement.
