Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Persons have no present plan or proposal that
would relate to or would result in: (a) any extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer; (b) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer; (c) any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the Issuer; (d) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (e) any material change in the operating policies or corporate structure of the Issuer; (f) any change in the Issuer's charter or by-laws; (g) the Shares ceasing to be authorized to be quoted in the over-the-counter security markets; or (h) causing a class of equity securities of the Issuer to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
.
The Reporting Persons reserve the right, at a later date, to effect one or more of such changes or transactions in the number of Shares they may be deemed to beneficially own.
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 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 Person's investment in the Shares, including, without limitation, the business, operations, governance, management, strategy and future plans of the Issuer.
