The reporting person may discuss ideas that, if effected, may result in changes in the Board of Trustees or management of the Issuer and/or other strategic alternatives.
Although the reporting person does not have any specific plan or proposal to acquire additional Shares or dispose of the Shares he holds (other than as described above), he may, at any time and from time to time, acquire additional Shares or dispose of any or all of the Shares he holds, depending upon a number of factors, including his ongoing evaluation of the merits of the investment in Shares, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, and liquidity needs.
