 purpose of voting "AGAINST" the Proposed Merger in connection with the Merger Agreement at the Special Meeting. At the Special Meeting, the Reporting Persons will oppose stockholder approval of the (i) Merger Agreement Proposal and (ii) Compensation Proposal. Details of the Merger Agreement Proposal, including information about the Reporting Persons reasons for opposing the Proposed Merger, can be found in the Definitive Proxy Statement, which is available at no charge on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov. 
 Also on September 24, 2025, the Reporting Persons issued a press release, containing a letter to stockholders of the Issuer (the "September 24 Letter"). In the September 24 Letter, the Reporting Persons announced the launch of their campaign website, www.LetSTAARShine.com, and stated that, in their view, the Proposed Merger is a suboptimal transaction because it was (i) agreed to at an inopportune time, (ii) the result of a flawed process and (iii) influenced by a conflicted Board and management team.                                                                                                                                                                                                         
 The foregoing description of the September 24 Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the September 24 Letter, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
