Item 4 — Purpose of Transaction
Item 3 above is incorporated into this Item 4 by reference. Subject to applicable legal requirements, the Reporting Person may, from time to time, acquire additional securities of the Issuer in open market or privately negotiated transactions. Any such acquisitions will depend on the Reporting Person's evaluation of the Issuer's business, prospects, and financial condition; the market demand for the Issuer's securities; developments relating to the Issuer; the Issuer's response to the Reporting Person's ownership; other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Person; and prevailing economic, money market, and stock market conditions. Likewise, depending on these same factors, the Reporting Person may dispose of all or a portion of its holdings in the Issuer at any time. The Reporting Person reserves the right to adjust its holdings on such terms and at such times as it deems appropriate. Except as described in this Item 4 and in Item 6 below, the Reporting Person has no present plan or proposal that relates to, or would result in, any of the actions enumerated in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"). However, the Reporting Person reserves the right to propose or participate in future transactions that may result in one or more of such actions, including, without limitation, an extraordinary corporate transaction (such as a merger, reorganization, or liquidation), a sale of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or its subsidiaries, or other transactions that could result in the Common Stock becoming eligible for termination of registration under Section 12(g) of the Act. The Reporting Person further reserves the right to change its investment intent at any time; to acquire additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer; or to sell or otherwise dispose of some or all of its holdings (including any securities convertible into Common Stock) in any manner permitted by law. The Reporting Person may also, in the ordinary course, engage in transactions with financial institutions involving the securities described herein.
