Accounts were purchased with the investment capital of such entities and accounts. The aggregate amount of funds used in making

The
Reporting Person acquired, on behalf of AJR, Cambrian Fund, Cambrian Global Fund and the Other Accounts and continues to

objective that seeks capital appreciation. In pursuing this investment objective, the Reporting Person analyzes the
operations, capital structure and markets of companies in which the Reporting Person’s clients invest, including the
Issuer, on a continuous basis through analysis of documentation and discussions with knowledgeable industry and market
observers and with representatives of such companies.
The Reporting Person will continuously assess the Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operations
and prospects, general economic conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Shares in particular, other developments
and other investment opportunities. Depending on such assessments, the Reporting Person may acquire additional Shares or may determine
to sell or otherwise dispose of all or some of the Shares presently held by AJR, Cambrian Fund, Cambrian Global Fund, and the Other
Accounts in the open market or in private transactions. Such actions will depend upon a variety of factors, including, without
limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices for the Shares, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects
of the Issuer, alternative investment opportunities, general economic, financial market and industry conditions and other factors
that the Reporting Person may deem material to its investment decision.

or prospective shareholders, industry analysts, existing or potential strategic partners or competitors, investment and financing
professionals and other third parties regarding a variety of matters related to the Issuer, which may include, among other things,
the Issuer’s business, management, capital structure and allocation, corporate governance, Board composition and strategic
alternatives and direction, and may take other steps seeking to bring about changes to increase shareholder value.

strategic alternatives, including a 15 million share (or $250 million) buyback, roughly 20% of shares outstanding, through a
Dutch tender, financed with one or more financial partners using a perpetual convertible preferred equity placement which
would be highly accretive to earnings per share without adding leverage.
