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 23, 2020, the Reporting
Persons’ legal counsel delivered a letter (the “Letter”) to the Issuer’s board of directors (the “Board”)
to express the Reporting Persons’ concerns that the Issuer has yet to reach an agreement with certain of its lenders to ensure
that it remains a viable going concern without the need for a bankruptcy filing or other reorganization. In the Letter, the Reporting
Persons expressed their belief that pursuing a value destructive restructuring process with the Issuer’s
creditors is unnecessary and contrary to the Board’s fiduciary obligations to shareholders. The Letter stated that an amendment
to the existing credit agreement among the Issuer, the lenders party thereto and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative
agent and collateral agent, that provides the Issuer with a short term bridge to avoid bankruptcy or other restructuring and realize
the value generated by its recent cost savings and other initiatives would be in the best interest of all stakeholders. The Reporting
Persons concluded the Letter by requesting a meeting with the Board to discuss the actions that the Reporting Persons believe are
necessary for the Issuer to correct its course.
The foregoing description
of the Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text
of the Letter, which is filed as Exhibit 99.2, 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.
Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and investment strategy, the
price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons
may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without
limitation, engaging in communications with management and the Board, engaging in discussions with stockholders of the Issuer
or other third parties about the Issuer and the Reporting Persons’ investment, including potential business combinations
or dispositions involving the Issuer or certain of its businesses, making recommendations or proposals to the Issuer concerning
changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, board structure (including board composition), potential business combinations
or dispositions involving the Issuer or certain of its businesses, or suggestions for improving the Issuer’s financial and/or
operational performance, purchasing additional Shares, selling some or all of their Shares, engaging in short selling of or any
hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Shares, including swaps and other derivative instruments, or changing their
intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.
