The Reporting Persons, however, reserve the right, at a later date, to effect one or more of such changes or transactions in the number of share they may be deemed to beneficially own. The Reporting Persons have been and may continue to be in contact with members of the Issuer's management, the Issuer's Board of Directors, other significant shareholders and others regarding alternatives that the Issuer could employ to maximize shareholder value, including, without limitation, alternatives with regards to the issuers strategic evaluation of the credit portfolio and capital structure.
