The Reporting Persons acquired shares of the common stock of Covisint Corporation (the “Issuer”) as part of their ordinary course of business for investment purposes, based on their belief that the Issuer’s stock is undervalued and represents an attractive investment opportunity. As previously reported, as of May 17, 2016, the Reporting Persons decided to send a letter to the Issuer’s board of directors to encourage the hiring of an investment banker to review the Issuer’s strategic options, including the potential sale of the Issuer. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons sent a letter, dated May 18, 2016, to the Issuer’s board of directors. A copy of that letter was filed as Exhibit 7.02 to the original Schedule 13D filed on May 18, 2016 (the “Original 13D”) and is incorporated herein by this reference. On June 15, 2016, the Reporting Persons sent a letter to the Issuer’s chief executive officer encouraging the Issuer to evaluate strategic options, including the potential sale of the company. A copy of this letter is being filed as Exhibit 7.04 to this amendment. The Reporting Persons may also enter into discussions with third parties and other stockholders. The Reporting Persons, in the ordinary course of business, regularly review their equity interest in the Issuer. The Reporting Persons have no current intention to purchase additional securities of the Issuer. While the Reporting Persons have no present intention to dispose of all or any portion of the shares of Issuer common stock beneficially owned by them, Roumell Asset Management may be required to sell shares of the Issuer’s common stock from time to time to accommodate client requests to transfer or liquidate their accounts. Any such sales of securities of the Issuer may be in the open market, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Depending on their assessment of the foregoing factors, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, modify their present intention as stated in this Item 4. Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons do not have at this time any specific plans which would result in (a) the acquisition by the Reporting Persons of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition by the Reporting Persons of securities of the Issuer; (b) any extraordinary corporate transactions such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) any sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets of the Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present management or board of directors, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board of directors; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) any change in the Issuer’s charter or bylaws which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) the Issuer’s common stock being delisted from a national securities exchange or ceasing to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system or a registered national securities association; (i) 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; or (j) any action similar to those enumerated above.
