Jared,

I declined the re-nomination offer because accepting would have resulted in the extension of the standstill from the cooperation agreement and I strongly believe that additional changes need to be made at the Company.  I am open to continuing to serve on the Board, but not if it results in the continuation of the standstill because I don’t believe that would be in the shareholders’ best interest.
