Mr. Howells has advised Inventure that he is implementing the Plan for liquidity reasons and estate and tax planning purposes. Transactions under the Plan will be disclosed in Form 144 and Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Plan was adopted in accordance with the guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Inventure’s policies regarding stock transactions. Rule 10b5-1 permits individuals who are not in possession of material, non-public information at the time the plan is adopted to establish pre-arranged plans to buy or sell company stock.
