Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On February 15, 2023, the Reporting Person entered into a Cooperation Agreement (the “Cooperation Agreement”) with the Company. Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, the Company agreed to appoint the Reporting Person to the Company’s board of directors (the “Company Board”), effective as of February 16, 2023, with a term expiring at the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2023 Annual Meeting”). The Cooperation Agreement also provides that the Company Board will nominate and recommend in favor of the Reporting Person’s reelection to the Company Board at the 2023 Annual Meeting, for a term expiring at the Company’s 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2024 Annual Meeting”), and solicit stockholders accordingly in favor of such reelection in the same manner as for other nominees nominated by the Company at the 2023 Annual Meeting. Under the terms of the Cooperation Agreement, the Company Board must also consider nominating the Reporting Person for reelection to the Board at the 2024 Annual Meeting in good faith and in the same manner the Company Board considers the nomination of all incumbent directors.

Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Cooperation Agreement, the Reporting Person has agreed to customary voting commitments with respect to the Company during the term of the Cooperation Agreement, including (i) voting in favor of the slate of directors recommended by the Company Board, (ii) voting against the election of any nominee for director not recommended by the Company Board for election, and (iii) voting in accordance with the Company Board’s recommendation with respect to any other matter or proposal presented at any such meeting, subject to certain exceptions relating to business combination transactions.

The Cooperation Agreement terminates on June 30, 2024, subject to earlier termination if (i) the Company Board fails to re-nominate the Reporting Person for reelection to the Company Board for the 2024 Annual Meeting, (ii) the Reporting Person fails to be reelected to, or is otherwise disqualified or removed from, the Company Board or (iii) the Reporting Person retires or resigns from the Company Board after the 2023 Annual Meeting. Additionally, each of the Company and the Reporting Person has the right to terminate the Agreement earlier if the other party commits a material breach of the Cooperation Agreement and such breach is not cured within 15 days after notice or, if such breach is not curable within 15 days, immediately.

The foregoing description of the Cooperation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Cooperation Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:
