-7-

ITEM 4.

PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION.

The Reporting Persons, directly or indirectly through certain affiliates, acquired the shares of the Issuer for investment purposes and not with a view toward or having the effect of directing or changing control over the Issuer. After this acquisition transaction, entities beneficially owned by Mr. Williams hold approximately 47.49% of the common outstanding shares of the Company and have beneficial ownership of approximately 51.79% of the common shares after giving effect to shares that may be acquired upon exercise of common stock warrants (having an exercise price of $1.47 per share).

Mr. Williams has at all times from immediately prior to and since the initial public offering of the Common Stock in November 2014 been a principal shareholder and director of the Issuer and is a member of the family which co-founded the Issuer. As a result of his appointment in March 2018 as the non-executive Chairman of the Issuer’s Board of Directors and his beneficial share ownership, Mr. Williams may effect control over the Issuer.

The Reporting Persons will continue to evaluate their ownership, investment and voting position in the Issuer and they currently expect to continue holding Issuer’s securities for investment. Moreover, they may acquire additional securities of the Issuer, upon terms which they consider to be favorable, in open market and in privately-negotiated transactions.
