Mr. Dahl has also spoken to, and may continue to speak with, other shareholders of the Issuer to communicate his concerns regarding the Issuer. In addition, Mr. Dahl has spoken to and may talk to members of management or directors of other parties to ascertain their possible interest in exploring various opportunities to increase shareholder value. "Mr. Dahl will continuously assess the Issuer's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic, financial and industry conditions, the securities markets and future trading prices in general and those for the Issuer's securities in particular, other developments and other investment opportunities. Depending on such assessments, Mr. Dahl, through the Accounts or otherwise, may acquire additional Shares or may determine to sell or otherwise dispose of all or some of his holdings of the Shares. "Except as set forth above, Mr. Dahl does not have any present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the matters set forth in items (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D."
