Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
On January 17, 2022, the Reporting Persons delivered a letter to the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). In the letter, the Reporting Persons recognized the dialogue they have had with management and the Board since the filing of the initial Schedule 13D in August 2021, and noted that they have been encouraged by the Company’s recent efforts to enhance its corporate governance and refresh its Board. While the Reporting Persons view the recent changes, many of which were reactionary, as a step in the right direction, they stated in the letter that there is still room for further improvement. In the letter, the Reporting Persons also expressed disappointment that the Board has been unwilling to work with them to appoint a shareholder representative who possesses relevant and technical experience to the Board.
The Reporting Persons further noted that the purpose of the letter to the Board was in part to express their thoughts on how a proxy contest at the 2022 Annual Meeting can be avoided, noting that there are important deadlines, decisions and triggering events in the coming weeks. Notably, the Reporting Persons highlighted the ways in which the Board’s recent amendments to the Bylaws were mostly “window dressing” changes that fail to truly strengthen shareholder rights and promote the Issuer’s accountability to shareholders. For example, the Reporting Persons noted that the Board had left in place its classified structure, the inability for shareholders to remove directors without cause, and a supermajority vote requirement of 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares to remove directors for cause. Although the Board’s amendments included lowering the ownership threshold for calling a special meeting of shareholders, other shareholder-unfriendly provisions make the ability to call any such special meeting virtually meaningless. The Reporting Persons believe that the Board has an opportunity to demonstrate a genuine commitment to meaningful corporate governance enhancements by taking the necessary actions to declassify the Board at the 2022 Annual Meeting. The Reporting Persons also stated in the letter that board declassification would undoubtedly be well-received by the Issuer’s institutional shareholder base as it would demonstrate that the Board supports meaningful shareholder rights rather than just trying to give an appearance of being shareholder-friendly. The Reporting Persons look forward to continuing a dialogue with the Board and seeking to create meaningful corporate governance changes that enhance shareholder value.
