The Reporting Persons purchased
the Shares based on the Reporting Persons’ belief that the Shares, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive
investment opportunity. Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons,
and the availability of Shares at prices that would make the purchase or sale of Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor
to increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Shares on the open market
or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.

No Reporting Person has any
present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) – (j) of Item 4 of
Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the
actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending
on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and investment strategy, 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 with management and the Board of Directors of the Issuer, engaging in discussions with stockholders
of the Issuer or other third parties about the Issuer and the Reporting Persons’ investment, including potential business
combinations or dispositions involving the Issuer or certain of its businesses, making recommendations or proposals to the Issuer
concerning changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, board structure (including board composition), potential business
combinations or dispositions involving the Issuer or certain of its businesses, or suggestions for improving the Issuer’s
financial and/or operational performance, purchasing additional Shares, selling some or all of their Shares, engaging in short
selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Shares, including swaps and other derivative instruments,
or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.

of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 71,625,610 Shares outstanding, as of October 25, 2017, which
is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities
