RVL intends to review continuously its position in the Company. Depending upon further evaluations of the business prospects of the Company and upon other developments, including, but not limited to, general economic and business conditions and stock market conditions, RVL may retain or from time to time increase its holdings or dispose of all or a portion of their holdings subject to any applicable legal and contractual restrictions on its ability to do so in privately negotiated transactions, open market purchases or otherwise.
RVL also intends to have active participation in the management of the Company through representation on the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”).
