Purpose of Transaction

LAM, LOM and LAOP (“Loeb”) have acquired Common Stock for investment purposes. Loeb reserves the right, consistent with applicable law, to acquire additional securities of the Issuer (whether through open market purchases, block trades, private acquisitions, tender or exchange offers or otherwise). Loeb intends to review its investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and has engaged in discussions with management or the Board of Directors of the Issuer concerning the business and future plans of the Issuer. Loeb has made it clear to the Issuer that Loeb believes that the only appropriate response in light of the fiduciary duty that the board owes to shareholders of the Company is to commence a formal process to maximize value for shareholders with a view towards selling the Company to the highest bidder.

Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the Common Stock of the Issuer, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, Loeb may in the future take such additional actions with respect to its investment in the Issuer as it deems appropriate including, without limitation, seeking Board representations, making proposals to the Issuer concerning the capitalization of the Issuer, purchasing additional Common Stock and other securities of the Issuer, selling some or all of its Common Stock, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Common Stock of the Issuer or changing its intention partially or entirely with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.
