Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

The shares of Common Stock owned by the Reporting Person have been acquired for investment purposes. The Reporting Person may make further acquisitions of the Common Stock from time to time and, subject to certain restrictions, including a lock-up provision that significantly restricts the Reporting Person’s discretion to dispose of shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock for a period of one year following the Closing Date as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, may dispose of any or all of the Common Stock held by it at any time depending on an ongoing evaluation of the investment in such securities, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities and other factors.

 

Except for the foregoing, the Reporting Person has no plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (c) and (e) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. However, as part of its ongoing evaluation of this investment and investment alternatives, the Reporting Person may consider such matters and, subject to applicable law, may hold discussions with or make proposals to the management or the board of directors of the Issuer, other shareholders of the Issuer or other third parties regarding such matters.

 

With respect to paragraph (d) of Item 4, the Reporting Person has, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the right to nominate one individual (the “Nomination Right”) to serve on the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at any time on or following May 24, 2018. Pursuant to the Nomination Right, the Reporting Person has nominated Mr. Ingo Schiller to serve on the Issuer’s Board.
