As the Company indicated in its press release, no decision has been made and there can be no assurance that the Board’s exploration of strategic alternatives will result in any transaction being entered into or consummated. The Company does not intend to discuss or disclose developments with respect to this process until the Board has approved a definitive course of action or otherwise concludes the review of strategic alternatives.
A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
