strategic direction, actions taken by the Issuer’s management and the Board, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting
Persons, the price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting
Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without
limitation, engaging in communications and information exchanges with the Issuer’s management and Board, engaging in discussions
