As of August 11, 2016, the Reporting Persons had invested approximately $944,990.14 (inclusive of brokerage commissions) in the securities of the Issuer. The source of these funds was the working capital of the Reporting Persons.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of the Transaction

Matt McGraner serves as a portfolio manager for the Issuer. The Shares were purchased by the Reporting Persons in open market transactions for the benefit of TwentySix.

The Reporting Persons purchased the Shares of the Issuer based on the belief that such securities, when purchased, represented an attractive investment opportunity. The Reporting Persons continuously assess the Issuers business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic conditions, other developments and additional investment opportunities. The Reporting Persons may purchase additional Shares on the open market. However, the timing and amount of such purchases will depend upon a variety of factors, including, without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Issuer, alternative investment opportunities, general economic, financial market and industry conditions and other factors that the Reporting Persons may deem material to their investment decision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reporting Persons may decide not to make additional purchases or may seek to sell Shares depending on general economic and/or market conditions.

The purpose of the acquisition of the Shares of the Issuer was for investment, and the acquisition of the Shares of the Issuer was made in the ordinary course of business and was not made for the purpose of acquiring control of the Issuer.

Also, consistent with the investment purpose, the Reporting Persons may engage in communications with one or more shareholders of the Issuer, one or more officers of the Issuer and/or one or more members of the board of directors of the Issuer and/or one or more representatives or regulators of the Issuer regarding the Issuer, including, but not limited to, its operations. The Reporting Persons may discuss ideas that, if effected, may result in any of the following: the acquisition by persons of additional Shares of the Issuer, an extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer and/or changes in the board of directors or management of the Issuer. The purchase of Shares has been previously reported by the Reporting Persons on a Form 3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
