 the Merger in violation of applicable federal or state law. The Complaints seek, among other things: (i) a direction that the Company make corrective and complete disclosures; (ii) to enjoin the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement unless and until the information purportedly omitted from the Definitive Proxy Statement is disclosed; (iii) rescission or rescissory damages in the event the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated, (iv) an award of costs of the actions, including attorneys’ and expert fees; and (v) any other relief the court may deem just and proper. In addition to the Complaints, purported stockholders of the Company and Compass have sent demand letters alleging similar deficiencies in the Definitive Proxy Statement as those asserted in the Complaints (the “ Disclosure Demands” and, together with the Complaints, the “ Matters”). The Company and Compass believe that the claims asserted in the Matters are without merit and that no supplemental disclosures to the Definitive Proxy Statement are required or necessary under applicable laws. However, in order to avoid the risk of delay to the Special Meeting or to the Merger and to minimize the potential expense associated therewith, and without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, the Company and Compass are voluntarily making certain disclosures below that supplement those contained in the Definitive Proxy Statement. These disclosures, and disclosures on certain other matters, are provided in this Current Report on Form 8-K.Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-Kshall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth herein. To the contrary, the Company and Compass specifically deny all allegations in the Matters, including that any additional disclosure was or is required, and believes that the supplemental disclosures contained herein are immaterial. It is possible that additional, similar demand letters or complaints may be received or filed, or that the Complaints may be amended. The Company does not intend to announce the receipt or filing of each additional, similar demand letter or complaint, or of any amended complaint.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT The additional disclosures in this Current Report on Form 8-Kshould be read in connection with the Definitive Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety, including all risk factors and cautionary notes contained therein. All page references are to pages in the Definitive Proxy Statement, and terms used below, unless otherwise defined
