**Item 4. Purpose of Transaction**

The Reporting Person acquired the shares of Common Stock reported herein for investment purposes in the ordinary course of business. The Reporting Person acquired such shares of Common Stock because it believed that the shares of Common Stock reported herein, when purchased, represented an attractive investment opportunity.
On October 8, 2025, the Reporting Person issued an open letter outlining the reasons for its opposition to the proposed acquisition of the Issuer by Thoma Bravo (the "Proposed Acquisition") as described in the Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed by the Issuer with the SEC on September 29, 2025 (the "Proxy Statement"). A copy of the letter is filed as Exhibit 1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein. Representatives of the Reporting Person have previously engaged, and may continue to engage, in discussions with members of the Issuer's management and board, other stockholders and affiliates of any of the foregoing, and other interested persons regarding, among other things, the Proposed Acquisition, as well as the Issuer's business, prospects, and strategies to enhance stockholder value. In addition, the Reporting Person intends to vote against the proposal to approve the Proposed Acquisition being presented at the upcoming special meeting of stockholders of the Issuer to be held on November 12, 2025 as described in the Proxy Statement.
The Reporting Person intends to review its investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the outcome of any discussions referenced above, the Issuer's financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the Issuer's board, price levels of the Common Stock, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Person, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Person may in the future take such actions with respect to its investment in the Issuer as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, purchasing additional shares of Common Stock and/or other equity, debt, notes, instruments or other securities of the Issuer (collectively, "Securities"), disposing of any or all of its Securities, in the open market or otherwise, at any time and from time to time, and engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Securities. The Reporting Person may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider its position and/or change its purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect to its investment in the Common Stock.
The Reporting Person does not intend to, nor does it reserve the right to, engage in a control transaction, or any contested solicitation for the election of directors, with respect to the Issuer.
Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Person has no present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(i) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
