As previously disclosed by Jefferies in a Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on February 20, 2019 (the “Jefferies 13D”), Jefferies is proposing to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock not already owned by Jefferies in a transaction that would entail Jefferies issuing two shares of Jefferies common stock for each share of Common Stock to be acquired by Jefferies. According to the Jefferies 13D, Jefferies is currently the beneficial owner of approximately 70.1% of the Common Stock outstanding. Further, according to the Jefferies 13D, the proposed transaction will be considered by a Special Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, comprised of independent directors of the Company’s Board, whose affirmative recommendation to the Company’s Board of Directors will be required under the stockholders agreement between the Company and Jefferies for any proposed transaction to proceed, in addition to other corporate, legal and regulatory approvals.

The Reporting Person has indicated to Jefferies that he would be supportive of the proposed transaction.
