Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

The Reporting Persons purchased the securities of the Issuer based on the Reporting Persons’ belief that such securities, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of securities of the Issuer at prices that would make the purchase or sale of such securities desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of securities of the Issuer on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.

On March 7, 2019, the Reporting Persons formed a group in connection with Hestia Capital’s nomination and the solicitation of proxies for the election of Hestia Capital’s director candidates at the Issuer’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2019 Annual Meeting”), which was amended by a joinder agreement on March 27, 2019. On March 29, 2019, the Reporting Persons entered into a cooperation agreement with the Issuer (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Issuer agreed to appoint a new independent director (the “Investor Nominee”) from among a group of candidates identified by the Reporting Persons to the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) within 30 days of the date of the Agreement (the date of effectiveness of such appointment, the “Appointment Date”). The Issuer further agreed to nominate an additional independent director nominee (the “Company Nominee”) for election as a director of the Issuer at the 2019 Annual Meeting, which Company Nominee was selected by the Board in reasonable consultation with the Reporting Persons.

On April 19, 2019, Lizabeth Dunn was appointed to the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee of the Board, as an Investor Nominee, and Raul Fernandez was appointed to the Board and the Audit Committee, as the Company Nominee. Each of the Investor Nominee and Company Nominee were nominated by the Board at the 2019 Annual Meeting, pursuant to the Agreement. The Reporting Persons have customary replacement rights in the event the Investor Nominee is unable to serve as a director from the Appointment Date until the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 calendar days prior to the last day of the advance notice period for the submission by stockholders of director nominations for consideration at the Issuer’s 2020 annual meeting of stockholders and (ii) any material breach of the Agreement by the Issuer (subject to a five business day remedy period if such material breach is capable of remedy) (such period, the “Standstill Period”).

As part of the Agreement, the Reporting Persons agreed to irrevocably withdraw, effective as of the Appointment Date, the nomination notice submitted by Hestia Capital to the Issuer on March 28, 2019. During the Standstill Period, each of the Reporting Persons agreed to vote its shares of the Issuer’s common stock at any meeting of the Issuer’s stockholders in favor of each director nominated and recommended by the Board for election at any such meeting.

In addition, during the Standstill Period, each Reporting Person has agreed to customary standstill provisions, which provide, among other things, that no Reporting Person will: (a) acquire beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, in any securities of the Issuer (or any rights decoupled from such securities) that would result in such Reporting Person owning, controlling or otherwise having any beneficial ownership interest in or aggregate economic exposure to more than 9.9% of the shares of the Issuer’s outstanding common stock, (b) seek or propose to influence or control the management or policies of the Issuer or (c) submit a proposal or request for or take any action in support of a proposal or request for certain extraordinary transactions, as further described in the Agreement.

The Agreement does not prohibit nor restrict the Reporting Persons from, among other things, providing its views privately to the Board or management on any matter.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, which is referenced as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis.
