The Board decided, based on shareholder feedback and its own review, to eliminate the defined term “Acting in Concert” from the agreement. Other provisions addressing concerted activity, including formation of a group under Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Exchange Act, are unchanged.

The Board emphasizes that the plan does not prevent it from considering offers that are fair and in the best interests of shareholders.
