Except as described above, none of the Reporting Persons has any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  Depending on various factors and as part of their ongoing review and evaluation of their beneficial ownership of the Issuer’s Common Stock, the Reporting Persons may in the future develop such plans or proposals or any other plans or proposals relating to the Issuer and take action with respect thereto.
