The shares of Class A Stock owned beneficially by each of the Reporting Persons were originally acquired for investment purposes.

 

(a)         Depending upon market conditions, other available investment opportunities, the availability of shares of Class A Stock at prices that would make the purchase of additional shares attractive, and developments regarding the matters discussed below, either or both of the Reporting Persons may seek to increase their respective ownership of shares of Class A Stock.

Any such transactions in the Class A Stock may be made on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as each Reporting Persons may deem advisable.

 

(b)         The Reporting Persons have consistently been disappointed with the management of the Issuer, the Issuer’s performance and its communication with the Reporting Persons, all of which the Reporting Persons believe have contributed to a steep decline in the market price of the Class A Stock over the past year. Additionally, the Reporting Persons have questioned the strategy and tactics of the Issuer, which include its decisions concerning capital markets transactions.
