Actions of activist shareholders could adversely impact our business and cause us to incur significant expenses.

We have been, and may in the future be, subject to actions or proposals initiated by activist shareholders or others in an attempt to effect changes and assert influence on our Board of Directors and senior management, and some such actions or proposals may not be aligned with our long-term strategy or the interests of our other shareholders. Engagement with activist shareholders may lead to the expenditure of significant time and energy by management and our Board of Directors and require dedication by the Company of significant resources. The Company’s response to suggested actions, proposals, director nominations and/or contests for the election of directors from activist shareholders could disrupt our business and operations, divert the attention of our Board of Directors, management and employees and be costly and time consuming. Potential actions by activist shareholders may interfere with our ability to execute our strategic plans, create perceived uncertainties as to the future direction of our business or strategy, and make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel. Also, we may be required to incur significant fees and expenses related to responding to shareholder activism, including for third-party advisors. Any of the foregoing could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations, and the market price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuation or otherwise be adversely affected by the events, risks and uncertainties described above.
