The Reporting Persons may continue with share dispositions in the future to further limit investment exposure in the Company. Notwithstanding the reduction in the Reporting Persons’ investment in the Company, the Reporting Persons continue to view the Company as a potential beneficial investment opportunity and may explore various potential transactions related to the Company and/or its Common Shares, including, without limitation, potential transactions relating to a financial restructuring.

     The Reporting Persons expressly hereby reaffirm the reservation of all rights, options and possible future actions heretofore disclosed by them in this Item 4 to the Statement.
