Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The Reporting Persons have acquired the Issuer's Common Stock for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons expect to evaluate on an ongoing basis the Issuer's financial condition and prospects and their interest in, and intentions with respect to, the Issuer and their investment in the securities of the Issuer. This evaluation may be based on various factors, including but not limited to the Issuer's business and financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Issuer's securities in particular, as well as other developments and other investment opportunities. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to change their intentions and develop plans or proposals at any time, as they deem appropriate. The Reporting Persons may at any time and from time to time, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, acquire additional securities of the Issuer, including additional shares of Common Stock, and dispose of all or a portion of the securities of the Issuer, including the Common Stock, that the Reporting Persons now own or may hereafter acquire. In addition, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with management, members of the board of directors of the Issuer, shareholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties concerning the operations, management, composition of the Issuer's board of directors and management, ownership, capital structure, strategy, and future plans of the Issuer, including the possibility of proposing one or more acquisitions, business combinations, mergers, asset sales, asset purchases, or other similar transactions involving the Issuer and other third parties. As a result, the Reporting Persons may take positions with respect to and seek to influence the decision of the board of directors of the Issuer regarding the matters discussed above. Such suggestions or positions may include one or more plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions required to be reported herein. Such actions may involve one or more of the events referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
