Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
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.
As previously disclosed by the Issuer on February 27, 2019, the Issuer publicly announced its intention to explore strategic alternatives, including a potential sale of the Issuer. Starboard intends to continue to monitor the Issuer’s operating and financial performance, as well as progress on the strategic alternatives review process.
Following the announced strategic review process, on March 11, 2019, Starboard Value LP and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Starboard”) entered into an agreement with the Issuer (the “Agreement”) regarding the composition of the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), and certain other matters. The following description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Issuer agreed, among other things, to increase the size of the Board from nine to eleven directors (provided that the size of the Board automatically decreased to ten directors at the conclusion of the Issuer’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2019 Annual Meeting”) and appointed Clay H. Kiefaber and Marran H. Ogilvie (each, a “New Director”) to the Board as a Class II director and a Class III director, respectively, each with terms expiring at the 2019 Annual Meeting. The Issuer also agreed to include Mr. Kiefaber and Ms. Ogilvie in the Issuer’s slate of recommended director nominees standing for election at the 2019 Annual Meeting.
With respect to the 2019 Annual Meeting, Starboard agreed to, among other things, vote all shares of the Issuer’s common stock beneficially owned by Starboard in favor of the Issuer’s director nominees and, subject to certain conditions, vote in accordance with the Board’s recommendations on all other proposals.
The Agreement also includes provisions regarding various other matters agreed to between Starboard and the Issuer, including, but not limited to, membership requirements on the Board’s committees for the New Directors, procedures for determining any replacements for the New Directors, “standstill” provisions restricting certain conduct and activities by Starboard during the periods specified in the Agreement, non-disparagement covenants, expense reimbursement and other items that are addressed in the Agreement. In addition, the Issuer agreed that, during the period commencing upon the conclusion of the 2019 Annual Meeting and continuing until the expiration of the standstill period specified in the Agreement, the size of the Board will not be increased to greater than ten directors without the consent of Starboard.
