The Adviser has withdrawn the Proposal.
Going forward, the Reporting Persons will, as and when they deem appropriate, evaluate their equity position in the Issuer and may from time to time, in their discretion, consider proposals and transactions, including, but not limited to, open market purchases of Common Stock of the Issuer, a tender offer to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, the acquisition of all of the Common Stock of the Issuer not already beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons or other stockholders participating in the applicable transaction, and, proposals related to any of the items in subparagraphs (a) though (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
The Reporting Persons intend to have discussions with members of the Issuer’s management and members of the Issuer’s Board in connection with the Reporting Persons’ investment in the Issuer and may from time to time have further discussions with directors and officers of the Issuer, or discussions with other stockholders or third parties regarding the Issuer’s business operations, strategies, capital structure, potential strategic transactions, assets, liabilities and other matters related to the Issuer. The Reporting Persons may engage in a number of conversations that may relate to one or more of the items in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.
The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may from time to time and at any time in the future depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the Board (to the extent public), price levels of the Issuer’s securities, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, take such actions with respect to the investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate. These actions may include: (i) acquiring additional shares of Common Stock and/or other equity, notes, other securities, derivatives or other instruments that are based upon or relate to the value of securities of the Issuer, or any debt of the Issuer or its affiliates, irrespective of whether it is a security (collectively, “Instruments”) in the open market or otherwise or (ii) disposing of any or all of their Instruments in the open market or otherwise.
