Item 4.

Purpose of the Transaction

Item 4 of the Initial Statement is hereby amended to add the following:

On June 2, 2020, Mr. Robotti, on behalf of the Reporting Persons, wrote a letter to the Board of Directors of the Issuer summarized below ("June 2^nd Letter"). In the June 2nd Letter, the Reporting Persons:

•

acknowledged that while the recently adopted shareholder rights plan ("Shareholder Rights Plan") could be used to preserve tax benefits ("Tax Benefits"), there was also the risk that the plan may be used to prevent a consolidation of the Issuer.

•

agreed with the Issuer's current strategy of:

laying up vessels when they complete contracts rather than keeping them available;

down-sizing the layup fleet by selling and scraping vessels; and

reducing shore-based and corporate SG&A

•

Advocated a prompt merger which would:

consolidate markets;

optimize fleet retirements;

diversify end markets;

replace older vessels; and

enhance options for future mergers.

•

Advocated replacing two current Board members with directors suggested by current shareholders to mitigate the risk of misuse of the Shareholders Rights Plan.

•

Advised the Issuer to weigh the current benefits of an immediate merger with the potential future benefits of preserving the Tax Benefits.

•

Advised the Issuer that the Reporting Persons would be obliged to vote against the Shareholder Rights Plan at the next Annual Meeting if two suitable directors recommended by shareholders did not replace two existing Board members.

A copy of the June 2^nd Letter is filed herewith as Exhibit 5 to this Statement and incorporated herein by reference.
