The terms and conditions of the Offer are described in the Amended and Restated Offer to Exchange dated November 4, 2024 ("Amended and Restated Offer to Exchange") and the related Letter of Transmittal, as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time (the Amended and Restated Offer to Exchange, together with the Letter of Transmittal, the "Offer Documents").

Important Overview of the Exchange Offer and Terms
The Series B Preferred Stock are Restricted and Non-Tradeable: Any Series B Preferred Stock issued in this Offer will be restricted, meaning there will be no active market for shareholders to sell the Series B Preferred Stock. The Company may extend this lock-up period as needed.
Potential Extension of the Offering: The Company may need to extend the Offer beyond the current deadline.
Adjustment of Common Stock on a Pro Rata Basis: If the total amount of Series B Preferred Stock issued exceeds the available allocation, the shares of Common Stock may be adjusted proportionally. For example, if a shareholder of Common Stock holds 100 shares, and the Series B Preferred Stock allocation is oversubscribed, such shareholder may receive fewer than 100 shares of Series B Preferred Stock as part of the Offer. Such shareholder will not receive these lost shares back if such shareholder converts the Series B Preferred Stock back into Common Stock in the future.
Termination of Offering: The Company could decide to not pursue the Offer in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.
Absence of Capital Appreciation: Unlike Common Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock do not provide the right to benefit from any capital appreciation. Shareholders who exchange their Common Stock will forego potential gains if the stock price rises in the future.
Dilution and Future Issuance of Preferred Stock: The Company has the authority to issue additional series of preferred stock, potentially with preferential rights over the Series B Preferred Stock. This could diminish the value of both Series B Preferred Stock and Common Stock by diluting shareholder value.
No Board Recommendation: The Board of Directors has not provided a recommendation regarding participation in the Offer. This lack of endorsement may indicate potential uncertainties or a reluctance to promote the Offer directly to shareholders.

Any offers of the Series B Preferred Stock will be made only by means of the Amended and Restated Offer to Exchange.
