| Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration | |
All of the shares of Common Stock to which this Statement relates were purchased on behalf of the Reporting Persons using the investment capital of the Reporting Persons. Such shares of Common Stock are or may be held from time to time in margin accounts established with their respective brokers or banks, and a portion of the purchase price for the Common Stock may have been obtained through margin borrowing. Common Stock positions held in margin accounts may be pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the margin accounts. The aggregate purchase price of the 544,179.5 shares of Common Stock acquired was approximately $8,853,930.68 (excluding commissions). | ||
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction | |
The Reporting Persons purchased the shares of Common Stock for investment purposes, and such purchases have been made in the ordinary course of business of the Reporting Persons.
In pursuing such investment purposes, the Reporting Persons may further purchase, hold, vote, trade, dispose, or otherwise deal in the Common Stock at times, and in such manner, as they deem advisable to benefit from, among other things, (1) changes in the market prices of the shares of Common Stock; (2) changes in the Issuer's operations, business strategy, or prospects; or (3) from the sale or merger of the Issuer. To evaluate such alternatives, the Reporting Persons will closely monitor the Issuer's operations, prospects, business development, management, competitive and strategic matters, capital structure, and prevailing market conditions, as well as other economic, securities markets, and investment considerations. Consistent with their investment research methods and evaluation criteria, the Reporting Persons have in the past discussed, and may in the future discuss, such matters with the management or Board of Directors of the Issuer (the "Board"), other stockholders, industry analysts, existing or potential strategic partners or competitors, investment and financing professionals, sources of credit, and other investors. Such evaluations and discussions may materially affect, and result in, among other things, the Reporting Persons (1) modifying their ownership of the Common Stock; (2) exchanging information with the Issuer pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements; (3) proposing changes in the Issuer's operations, governance, or capitalization; or (4) pursuing one or more of the other actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
In addition to the information disclosed in this Statement, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to (1) formulate other plans and proposals; (2) take any actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer, including any or all of the actions set forth in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D; and (3) acquire additional shares of Common Stock or dispose of some or all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them, in each case in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise.
The Reporting Persons believe the Issuer's governance and oversight functions are inadequate and intend to seek governance rights commensurate with the Reporting Persons' ownership. There is currently no agreement, express or implied, with respect to the foregoing. The Reporting Persons may at any time reconsider and change their plans or proposals relating to the foregoing.
