Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On April 23, 2018, KWM announced that it has added former Equinix, Inc. executive and proven business leader Sushil (“Sam”) Kapoor (the “Nominee”) to its slate of director nominees for election at the Issuer’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). Mr. Kapoor replaces David L. Kanen as a Director Nominee for the Annual Meeting and joins Anthony Ambrose, Alan Howe, Jeffrey Padnos and S. Shariq Yosufzai as one of Kanen’s five highly-qualified director candidates for election at the Annual Meeting. The Reporting Persons note that the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Bylaws do not include advance notice provisions for stockholder nominations of director candidates. As previously disclosed in Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons believe that substantial change is required to the composition of the Issuer’s Board to ensure that the best interests of stockholders are paramount in the board room. The Reporting Persons believe that Mr. Kapoor has the qualifications to not only serve as a director of the Issuer, but also in a board leadership role where he can utilize his relevant expertise to help ensure that the required steps are taken to put the Issuer on the right track towards stockholder value creation. The Reporting Persons hope to continue their constructive dialogue with the Issuer’s management team and Board regarding opportunities to unlock value at the Issuer, including changes to Board composition.

Sushil (“Sam”) Kapoor, age 71, was the Chief Global Operations Officer of Equinix, Inc., a multinational company that specializes in internet connection and related services, since January 2008 until March 2018. As the Chief Operations executive at Equinix, Inc. since early 2001, Mr. Kapoor played a major role in steering the company from near bankruptcy to its current industry leading position. During this period Equinix, Inc. grew from 7 data centers in 6 markets in one country with annual revenue of less than $20 million to more than 180 data centers in 44 metros across 25 major countries spread over 4 continents with annual revenues exceeding $5 Billion. During the same period, the stock price grew from a split adjusted low of around $5 to its current price of more than $400. Mr. Kapoor served as Vice President of Operations of Equinix, Inc., from March 2001 to December 2006 and also served as its Senior Vice President of IBX Operations from December 2006 to January 2008. Prior to joining Equinix, Mr. Kapoor served as Vice President of hosting operations at UUNET Technologies, Inc., the Internet division of MCI (formerly known as WorldCom) from November 1999 to February 2001. He was responsible for the build-out and day-to-day operations of six hosting centers. From May 1995 to November 1999, he served as Vice President, Global Network Technology for Compuserve Network Services, an Internet access provider. Mr. Kapoor served as Senior Director of Telecommunications for over 10 years at Lexis-Nexis in Miamisburg. Mr. Kapoor holds an M.B.A. (Operations Research) from Miami University of Ohio and an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Cincinnati.

On April 24, 2018, KWM, together with its affiliates, filed its definitive proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Annual Meeting.
