Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction
.
The Reporting Person
acquired, on behalf of AJR, Cambrian Fund, Cambrian Global Fund and the Other Accounts and continues to hold, the Shares reported
in this Schedule 13D for investment purposes. The Reporting Person intends to evaluate the performance of the Shares as an investment
in the ordinary course of business. The Reporting Person pursues an investment objective that seeks capital appreciation. In pursuing
this investment objective, the Reporting Person analyzes the operations, capital structure and markets of companies in which the
Reporting Person’s clients invest, including the Issuer, on a continuous basis through analysis of documentation and discussions
with knowledgeable industry and market observers and with representatives of such companies.
The Reporting Person
will continuously assess the Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic
conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Shares in particular, other developments and other investment opportunities.
Depending on such assessments, the Reporting Person may acquire additional Shares or may determine to sell or otherwise dispose
of all or some of the Shares presently held by AJR, Cambrian Fund, Cambrian Global Fund, and the Other Accounts in the open market
or in private transactions. Such actions will depend upon a variety of factors, including, without limitation, current and anticipated
future trading prices for the Shares, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Issuer, alternative investment
opportunities, general economic, financial market and industry conditions and other factors that the Reporting Person may deem
material to its investment decision.
The Reporting Person
and their representatives have, from time to time, engaged in, and expect to continue to engage in, discussions with members of
management and the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”), other current or prospective shareholders, industry
analysts, existing or potential strategic partners or competitors, investment and financing professionals and other third parties
regarding a variety of matters related to the Issuer, which may include, among other things, the Issuer’s business, management,
capital structure and allocation, corporate governance, Board composition and strategic alternatives and direction, and may take
other steps seeking to bring about changes to increase shareholder value.
Except as set forth
above, the Reporting Person has no present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the transactions required
to be described in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

(b) The
Reporting Person does not directly own any Shares. The Reporting Person has entered into an investment advisory agreement with
each of AJR, Cambrian Fund, Cambrian Global Fund and the Other Accounts pursuant to which the Reporting Person has investment authority
with respect to the securities held by such entities or in such accounts. Such power includes the power to dispose of and the power
to vote the Shares. By reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Reporting
