ger and urge fellow stockholders to vote “AGAINST”
the Proposed Merger because we believe the Board ran a deficient sale process at a suboptimal time, which resulted in the Proposed Merger
that significantly undervalues the Company.

We are soliciting
proxies from the Company’s stockholders to vote “AGAINST” the following Proposed Merger proposals (together,
the “Merger Proposals”) to:

| 1. | approve the Proposed Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement Proposal”); 
 and                                                                                                                            |

| 2. | approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation that may be paid or become payable to the                                   
 Company’s named executive officers in connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Compensation 
 Proposal”).                                                                                                                             |
