Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 of the Prior Schedule 13D Filing is hereby replaced in its entirety as follows:

 

BHW, the Estate, and KDT each engaged in the transactions involving the contribution and sale of the shares of Common Stock with a view and an objective of diversifying their respective asset portfolios.

 

The Estate, KDT and MDT (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) hold the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons have no present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein. 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 Contributed 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 additional communications with management and the Board of the Issuer, engaging in discussions with shareholders of the Issuer and others about the Issuer and the Reporting Persons’ investment, making proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, board structure (including Board composition) or operations of the Issuer, or potential business combinations or strategic alternatives involving the Issuer or certain of the businesses or assets of the Issuer, including transactions in which the Reporting Persons may seek to participate and potentially engage in (including with other third parties), purchasing additional shares of capital stock of the Issuer, selling some or all of the shares, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the shares, or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in this Item 4.

The Voting Agreement (as defined in Item 6) may result in the Reporting Persons being deemed a “group” with BHW and its affiliates and beneficial owner(s) (collectively, the “Applicable Persons”). The Applicable Persons are each separately reporting their beneficial ownership of the Common Stock on Schedules 13D with the SEC and reference is hereby made to such filings for the beneficial ownership of Common Stock of such other Applicable Persons and any changes thereto. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of any securities beneficially owned by the Applicable Persons.

 

(c) Other than the April 2023 Transactions, the Reporting Persons did not enter into any transactions in the shares of Common Stock within the past sixty days.
