Reporting Persons used approximately $19,830,293 (including brokerage commissions) in the aggregate to purchase the Common Shares reported in this Schedule 13D.
The source of the funds used to acquire the Common Shares reported herein is the working capital of the Funds and the Accounts and margin borrowings described in the following sentence.

In such instances, the positions held in the margin account are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account.

Consistent with their investment intent, the Reporting Persons engaged in conversations with the Company’s CEO regarding, among other things, changes to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Reporting Persons have not entered into any agreement with any third party to act together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of the Common Shares reported herein. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may from time to time engage in discussions with management, the Board of Directors, other shareholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties, including representatives of any of the foregoing, concerning matters with respect to the Reporting Persons’ investment in the Common Shares, including, without limitation, the business, operations, governance, management, strategy and future plans of the Issuer. Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the outcome of any discussions referenced above, the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the Board of Directors, price levels of the Common Shares, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Company as they deem appropriate, including, without limitation, purchasing additional Common Shares or selling some or all of their Common Shares, engaging in hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Common Shares and/or otherwise changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
