The Reporting Person intends to continuously review its investment in the Issuer, and may in the future determine (1) to acquire additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, through open market purchases, private transactions or otherwise, (2) to dispose of all or a portion of the securities of the Issuer owned by it or (3) to take any other available course of action. In connection with its ongoing review of its investments in the Issuer, the Reporting Person may take actions with respect to such investments in the Issuer, including communicating with the Board, members of management at the Adviser or other securityholders of the Issuer, or other third parties from time to time; taking steps to implement a course of action, including, without limitation, engaging advisors, including legal, financial, regulatory, technical and/or industry advisors, to assist in any review; and evaluating strategic alternatives as they may become available. Subject to the terms and conditions of the documents described herein to which the Reporting Person or the Adviser is a party, such discussions and other actions may relate to various alternative courses of action, including, without limitation, those related to an extraordinary corporate transaction (including, but not limited to, a merger, reorganization or liquidation) involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; business combinations involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; material asset purchases; the formation of joint ventures involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries or the entry into other material projects; changes in the present business, operations, strategy, future plans or prospects of the Issuer; financial or governance matters; changes to the Board (including Board composition) or management of the Issuer; acting as a participant in debt financings of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, dividend policy, business or corporate structure or governance documents of the Issuer; or any action similar to those enumerated above. Such discussions and actions may be preliminary and exploratory in nature, and not rise to the level of a plan or proposal. Subject to the terms and conditions of the documents described herein to which the Reporting Person or the Adviser is a party, the Reporting Person or the Adviser may seek to acquire securities of the Issuer, including shares of Common Stock and/or other equity, debt, notes or other financial instruments related to the Issuer or its shares of Common Stock (which may include rights or securities exercisable or convertible into securities of the Issuer), and/or sell or otherwise dispose of some or all of such Issuer securities or financial instruments from time to time, in each case, in open market or private transactions, block sales or otherwise. Any transaction that the Reporting Person or the Adviser may pursue, including on behalf of its clients, subject to the terms and conditions of the documents described herein to which the Reporting Person or the Adviser is a party, may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will depend on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the price and availability of the Issuer's securities or other financial instruments, the Reporting Person's, the Adviser's or its clients' trading and investment strategies, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer, the Issuer's business and/or the Issuer's prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to the Reporting Person, the Adviser and/or its clients, general industry and economic conditions, the securities markets in general, tax considerations and other factors deemed relevant by the Reporting Person, the Adviser and/or its clients. The Adviser is responsible for, among other things, identifying investment opportunities, monitoring the Issuer's investments and determining the composition of the Issuer's portfolio, subject to oversight by the Board.
