Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
On October 28, 2016, Bruce Nierenberg and David Robinov resolved to join the Committee to Rescue Reed’s and to assist in the Committee’s efforts to reconstitute the Board and institute best-in-class governance practices at the Issuer. Mr. Robinov is a former Board member of the Issuer and was selected to serve as one of two independent mediators of the process between the Committee and the Issuer in furtherance of achieving a unified Board slate. Mr. Nierenberg is a candidate who was suggested by the Issuer’s Chairman and CEO, Chris Reed, for inclusion in the unified Board slate. The addition of Messrs. Nierenberg and Robinov bolsters the growing voice of stockholders demanding unaffiliated shareholder representation at the Issuer. Consequently, the Committee continues preparations for a proxy contest to elect its slate of five (5) highly qualified independent director candidates at the upcoming 2016 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). If the Committee is successful in electing a majority of its nominees to the Board at the Annual Meeting, the Committee intends to expand the size of the Board to seven (7) directors and to appoint Mr. Nierenberg and a yet to be determined candidate to fill the resulting vacancies.
