The Transaction Committee and the Board considered the amount of time it could take to complete the Merger, including that completion of the Merger depends on factors outside of the Company’s or Parent’s control (including the approval of the Merger Agreement Proposal by the Company’s stockholders), and the risk that the pendency of the Merger for an extended period of time following the announcement of the execution of the Merger Agreement could divert the Company’s management’s attention and have an adverse impact on the Company, including its customer, supplier and other business relationships. |

In addition to considering the factors described above, the Transaction Committee and the Board also considered that some of the Company’s directors and executive officers have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of the Company’s stockholders generally.
