Re:      Acquisition Proposal Extension

 

Dear Richard:

 

As we have now entered into a mutual confidentiality agreement and commenced confirmatory due diligence, we hereby extend the expiration date for our acquisition proposal to midnight eastern time on March 26, 2023.

 

We look forward to continuing our constructive dialogue and are hopeful that we can enter into definitive agreements shortly.

 

  Sincerely,
