Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

This Item 4 is amended and supplemented as follows:

Governance Amendment Agreement

On April 14, 2020, the Issuer and the Reporting Person entered into a Governance Amendment Agreement (the Amendment Agreement) pursuant to which it was agreed to permit an increase to the size of the Board to allow for Isaac Angel to serve as a Board director (if approved by shareholders at the Issuers annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in June 2020). Pursuant to the Amendment Agreement, the Reporting Person has agreed to procure the necessary consent from the directors appointed by the Reporting Person for the Board expansion, as required by Section 2.1(c) of the Governance Agreement. The consent to increase the number of Board directors only applies to the initial election of Mr. Angel and does not constitute approval for any nomination, re-nomination, appointment or re-appointment of any director or any expansion of the Board thereafter. The Amendment Agreement allows for the temporary expansion to ten (10) directors provided that the total number of directors decreases to nine (9) no later than the Issuers annual general meeting in 2021 or 15 months after the Issuers annual general meeting in 2020, whichever is earlier.

General

The Reporting Person acquired the securities described in this Amendment for investment purposes and it will review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Any actions the Reporting Person might undertake will be dependent upon the Reporting Persons review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Issuers business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuers securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other current and future developments.

Subject to the limitations in the Governance Agreement, the Reporting Person may, at any time and from time to time, acquire additional securities of the Issuer, or retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Subject to the limitations in the Governance Agreement, in connection with such considerations or activity, the Reporting Person may use third-party advisers, consultants or agents (each an Adviser) to assist it and may engage, directly or indirectly, in discussions or negotiations, or pursue agreements with other parties regarding the securities then held and such other matters as it considers relevant to making its determinations.
