Anderson, who recused themselves from the vote of the Board), based in part on the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, has (a) determined unanimously that the Merger Agreement and the Merger are advisable, and in the best interests of, the Company’s stockholders (other than the members of the Purchaser Group or any person that the Company has determined to be a Section 16 Officer of the Company pursuant to Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act), (b) approved unanimously the Merger Agreement and the Merger, and (c) resolved unanimously to recommend that the Company’s stockholders vote “FOR” the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement.

Concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement, the Company is filing with the SEC a preliminary proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, pursuant to the definitive version of which the Company’s board of directors is soliciting proxies from stockholders of the Company in connection with the Merger.
