Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
The Reporting Persons began to establish a substantial investment in the Issuer in August 2021 based on their belief that the Issuer’s non-synergistic collection of businesses is severely undervalued and suffering from a conglomerate discount. In October 2021, following a period of engagement with management and the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) the Reporting Persons nominated a slate of director nominees for election at the Issuer’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2021 Annual Meeting”), and were gratified that stockholders elected their candidate H. C. Charles Diao as a director at the 2021 Annual Meeting held in February 2022. During the time since the 2021 Annual Meeting, the Reporting Persons have been closely monitoring developments at the Issuer. In particular, the Reporting Persons were pleased by the Issuer’s announcement in May 2022 that the Board had initiated a process to review a comprehensive range of strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value including a sale, merger, divestiture, recapitalization or other strategic transaction. The Reporting Persons have recently endeavored to significantly increase their investment in the Issuer based on their hope and expectation that the ongoing strategic process will result in a transaction that will unlock substantial value for stockholders. Depending upon overall market conditions, other developments at the Issuer and other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of Shares at prices that would make the purchase or sale of Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Shares on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, engaging in communications with management and the Board of Directors of the Issuer, engaging in discussions with stockholders of the Issuer or other third parties about the Issuer and the Reporting Persons’ investment, including potential business combinations or dispositions involving the Issuer or certain of its businesses, making recommendations or proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the capitalization, cost and capital allocation, ownership structure, board structure (including board composition), calling of special meeting(s), potential business combinations or dispositions involving the Issuer or certain of its businesses or other strategic alternatives, or suggestions for improving the Issuer’s financial and/or operational performance, purchasing additional Shares, selling some or all of their Shares, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Shares, including swaps and other derivative instruments, or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.
