Item 4 — Purpose of Transaction
On May 1, 2026, the Issuer, Brown and SBS entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release and a separate CIC-Related Side Letter (the "CIC Side Agreement"). As among those three parties only, the CIC Side Agreement provides for treatment of the January 28, 2022 Change of Control, Voting and Restricted Stock Agreement (the "CIC Agreement") as continuing through January 28, 2028, with the modifications specified in the CIC Side Agreement. Among other things, the Issuer agreed that Brown shall have the right to designate up to two individuals to serve on the Issuer's Board of Directors and to replace such designees by written notice, subject to the terms of the CIC Side Agreement. The CIC Side Agreement is a separate agreement among its signatories, is not a formal amendment binding nonsignatories to the CIC Agreement, and is incorporated by reference in Item 7. Other than the contractual board-designation rights described above, the Reporting Persons have no current plan or proposal of the kind enumerated in Item 4(a) through (j).
