In a continued effort to resolve this situation privately in good faith, Engine proposed detailed settlement terms in July but has yet to receive a response despite our repeated attempts to engage since then. Again, if the independent directors could stand up to Mr. Proud, we believe a settlement would have been reached a long time ago. We believe the presence of an independent legal advisor would go a long way toward creating those conditions.",
