Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

The Reporting Person believes the securities of the Issuer are undervalued and represent an attractive investment opportunity.

The Reporting Person may also seek to communicate with shareholders and other third parties about such transactions.

The Reporting Person may consider, explore and/or develop plans and/or make proposals (whether preliminary or final) with respect to, among other things, potential changes in the Issuer's operations, management, organizational documents, composition of the Board, ownership, capital or corporate structure, sale transactions, dividend policy, strategy and plans.

It may also take steps to explore and prepare for various plans and actions, and propose transactions, before forming an intention to engage in such plans or actions or proceed with such transactions.

The Reporting Person intends to review its investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and depending upon various factors, including without limitation, the Issuer's financial position and strategic direction, the outcome of any discussions referenced above, overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Person, and the availability of securities of the Issuer at prices that would make the purchase or sale of such securities desirable, the Reporting Person may endeavor (i) to increase or decrease its position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of securities of the Issuer, including through transactions involving the Shares and/or other equity, debt, notes, other securities, or derivative or other instruments that are based upon or relate to the value of securities of the Issuer in the open market or in private transactions, including through a trading plan created under Rule 10b5-1(c) or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Person may deem advisable and/or (ii) to enter into transactions that increase or hedge their economic exposure to the Shares without affecting their beneficial ownership of the Shares.
