ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
Item 4 of Schedule 13D is supplemented and superseded, as the case may be, as follows:
This Amendment No. 8 is being filed to report dispositions of beneficial ownership of Common Stock in an amount equal to 1% or more of the Issuers outstanding shares of Common Stock since the Reporting Persons previous amendment to Schedule 13D. Consistent with their investment purpose, the Reporting Persons may make, or cause, further dispositions of Common Stock from time to time depending on market conditions and other factors. In addition, the Reporting Persons may acquire, or cause to be acquired, additional shares of Common Stock depending on market conditions and other factors.
Going forward, the Reporting Persons may have conversations with members of the Issuers management team and members of the Board regarding multiple topics, including, but not limited to, corporate governance and the composition of the Board, suggestions for candidates to the Board, general business operations and strategic alternatives to promote long-term value for the benefit of all shareholders. Except to the extent restricted by the Agreement, the Reporting Persons may engage in communications with one or more officers, members of the Board, representatives, shareholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties regarding the Issuers business and certain initiatives, which could include one or more of the items in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.
The Reporting Persons continuously assess the Issuers business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic conditions, other developments and additional investment opportunities. Depending on such assessments and in compliance with any applicable agreements, including the Agreement, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional securities of the Issuer or new securities of the Issuer, engage in any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Issuers securities, or may determine to sell or otherwise dispose of all or some of the Issuers securities in the open market, as applicable, in privately negotiated transactions, in transactions directly with the Issuer or otherwise. Such actions will depend upon a variety of factors, including, without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Issuer, alternative investment opportunities, general economic, financial market and industry conditions and other factors that the Reporting Persons may deem material to their investment decision.
