price of $2.75 per share. The tender offer expired at the end of the day, 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on August 7, 2025.
The Board of Directors determined that it was in the Company’s best interest to repurchase shares at such time given the Company’s cash position and stock price. Based on the final count by the depositary for the tender offer, 20,344
shares, were properly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to expiration of the tender offer. The Company accepted all of these shares for purchase in accordance with the terms of the tender offer at a price of $2.75 per share, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, for an aggregate cost of
