As part of their evaluation, the Reporting Persons will continue to monitor and assess the Issuer’s assets, liabilities, capital structure, operating performance, business prospects, market valuation and other related matters, as well as prevailing market conditions, alternative investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Persons and other investment considerations. Consistent with their evaluation criteria, the Reporting Persons may discuss such matters with management or directors of the Issuer, other shareholders, industry analysts, industry participants, investment and financing professionals, sources of credit and other investors.
