Following a review by the Nominating and Governance Committee (the “Committee”) pursuant to the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Committee and the Board of Directors (the “Board”) determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders for each of Messrs.

In reaching its determination, the Committee considered, among other factors, that a significant stockholder informed the Company following the Annual Meeting that an administrative error caused it to fail to submit voting instructions for approximately 1.4 million shares it intended to vote in favor of the election of each of the Company’s nominees for director. Absent this error, each of Messrs. Lin and Taylor would have received affirmative votes exceeding the majority threshold. The Committee also considered (i) Mr. Lin's operational background, his experience in various leadership positions within the Company, including his continuing role as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and his prior roles at other public companies, (ii) Mr. Taylor's experience in financial roles across various markets and as the Chief Financial Officer of several public companies, (iii) the votes of certain stockholders with interests the Company believes to be adverse to those of the Company and its other stockholders, (iv) the overall composition of the Board, and (v) the near-term goals of the Company and the anticipated value of the continuing service of Messrs. Lin and Taylor in achieving those goals. Each of Messrs. Lin and Taylor recused himself from, and did not attend, the portions of the meetings of the Board and the Committee, as applicable, at which the Board and the Committee considered his resignation.
