wood recommends that
you vote “AGAINST” the Compensation Proposal. For additional information, see the above section titled “Reasons
to Vote Against the Merger Agreement Proposal—A Windfall for the Executives”.

Vote Required

According to the Company’s
proxy statement, assuming a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of Common Stock representing a majority
of Common Stock present by remote communication or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote on the Compensation
Proposal is required to approve the Compensation Proposal. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST”
the Compensation Proposal, and broker non-votes will have no effect on the Compensation Proposal. We urge stockholders to vote “AGAINST”
the Compensation Proposal to make sure that their voices are heard and let the Company know that stockholders stand in clear opposition
to the Proposed Merger.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND THE SPECIAL MEETING</div>

Who is entitled to vote?

The Record Date for determining
stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting is [●]. Stockholders of record at the close of business on
the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Each stockholder of the Company will be entitled to cast one vote on
each matter properly brought before the Special Meeting for each such share owned at the close of business on the Record Date. Based on
publicly available information, we believe that the only outstanding class of securities of the Company entitled to vote at the Special
Meeting is Common Stock. According to the Company’s proxy statement, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the
Record Date is [●].

Only holders of record as
of the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. If you were a stockholder of record on the
Record Date, then you will retain your voting rights for the Special Meeting even if you sold your shares after the Record Date. Accordingly,
it is important that you vote the shares held by you on the Record Date, or grant a proxy to vote such shares, even if you sold such shares
after the Record Date.
