| The following constitutes Amendment No.1 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned ("Amendment No. 1"). This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein. |
| Item 4. | PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION |
| Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following: |
| On April 30, 2018, the Reporting Persons entered into a cooperation agreement with the Issuer (the "Cooperation Agreement"), pursuant to which the Issuer has agreed that, as soon as practicable but in no event later than 30 calendar days prior to the Issuer's 2018 annual meeting of stockholders (the "2018 Annual Meeting"), the Issuer shall appoint two new independent directors (the "New Directors") who, subject to the consent of the Board and to customary eligibility conditions, will have been identified by the Reporting Persons to serve as members of Board. The Issuer has also agreed under the Cooperation Agreement to take the necessary steps to form an Operations Committee that will include the New Directors and to form a CEO Search Committee that will include at least one of the New Directors who will be selected by the Reporting Persons. In addition, under the Cooperation Agreement, the Reporting Persons have customary replacement rights with respect to the New Directors with any such replacement to be selected in the same manner as the New Directors are to be selected. |
| The Cooperation Agreement also provides for customary standstill provisions during a standstill period (the "Restricted Period"), which is set to terminate the earlier of: (i) the 30th day prior to the last day of the time period, established by the Issuer's Amended and Restated Bylaws, for stockholders to deliver notice to the Issuer of director nominations to be brought before the Issuer's 2019 annual meeting of stockholders and (ii) such earlier time as provided for under Section 9 of the Cooperation Agreement. |
| The Cooperation Agreement provides that, so long as the New Directors are appointed to the Board prior to the date of the 2018 Annual Meeting, the Reporting Persons will vote their Common Stock at the 2018 Annual Meeting in favor of the Issuer's nominees and otherwise in accordance with the Board's recommendation on any proposal not related to an extraordinary transaction. In connection with the Cooperation Agreement, the Reporting Persons have agreed to withdraw their nomination letter previously delivered to the Issuer. |
| The foregoing summary of the Cooperation Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Cooperation Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 99.3 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. |
