(E) (i) a complete and accurate description of all agreements, arrangements or understandings (whether written or oral, and including promises) between or among each Holder and/or any Stockholder Associated Person (as such terms “Holder” and “Stockholder Associated Person” are defined in this Section 1.4), on the one hand, and any Stockholder Nominee, on the other hand, (x) to consult or advise on any investment or potential investment in a publicly listed company (including the Corporation), and/or (y) to nominate, submit, or otherwise recommend the Stockholder Nominee for appointment, election or re-election (or, for the avoidance of doubt, as a candidate for appointment, election or re-election) to any officer, executive officer or director role of any publicly listed company (including the Corporation), in each case, during the past ten (10) years; and (ii) a complete and accurate description of the outcome of any situations described pursuant to the foregoing clause (i);
See the information under question 1(D) above.
With respect to clause (i)(x), Mr. Kellner and Mr. Deutsch have had a strong business and personal relationship for the past 25-plus years. They generally share a common approach in seeking companies that are mispriced by the market and over the years have occasionally shared ideas on the market and specific companies. While each of the Reporting Persons is a sophisticated and experienced investor and each operates independently in making investment decisions, through their long-standing relationship and sharing of information and ideas, they have invested in the same companies on numerous occasions, including the Company as described in this Notice. However, this is not a consulting or advisory relationship and, other than with respect to the Company as described in this Notice, the relationship has not involved the nomination, submission or recommendation of directors or officers of publicly listed companies.
(F) whether the Stockholder Nominee has (i) notified the board of directors of each publicly listed company at which the Stockholder Nominee serves as an officer, executive officer or director with respect to such Stockholder Nominee’s proposed nomination for election or re-election to the Board of Directors, and, (ii) as applicable, received all necessary consents to serve on the Board of Directors of the Corporation if so nominated and elected or otherwise appointed (or, if any such consents have not been received, how the Stockholder Nominee intends to address such failure to receive such necessary consents);
Mr. Deutsch has notified the board of directors of Esquire Financial Holdings, Inc., on which he serves as a director, of his proposed nomination for election to the Board, and has received all necessary consents to serve on the Board. Mr. Deutsch does not serve as an officer or executive officer of any publicly listed company. Neither Mr. Kellner nor Mr. Chioini serves as an officer, executive officer or director of any publicly listed company.
(G) whether the Stockholder Nominee’s nomination, election or appointment, as applicable would violate or contravene a corporate governance policy, including, without limitation, a conflicts of interest or “overboarding” policy of any publicly listed company at which such Stockholder Nominee serves as an officer, executive officer or director and, if so, a description of how the Stockholder Nominee intends to address such violation or contravention;
Mr. Deutsch’s nomination, election or appointment, as applicable, would not violate or contravene the corporate governance policy, including, without limitation, any conflicts of interest or “overboarding” policies of Esquire Financial Holdings, Inc., on which he serves as a director. Neither Mr. Kellner nor Mr. Chioini serves on the board of directors of any publicly listed company.
