The Board, through the Company’s corporate broker, has sought to engage with the dissenting shareholders to understand their concerns.  Unfortunately, despite multiple efforts, the Board and its adviser have been unsuccessful to date in gaining any response.  The Board invites the dissenting shareholders to engage, either directly through the Chairman or Senior Independent Director or through the corporate broker, so that the directors may seek to address the dissenting shareholders’ concerns.  The Chairman and Senior Independent Director may be contacted at [e-mail].
