Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended to add the following:

 

On July 27, 2016, JDS1 delivered a letter to the Issuer (the “Nomination Letter”) nominating a slate of three highly qualified director candidates, including Wayne Barr, Jr., Richard Ramlall, and Matthew Stecker (collectively, the “Nominees”), for election to the Board at the Issuer’s 2016 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The Reporting Persons believe that significant change to the composition of the Board is warranted given the long-tenured nature of the Board, the qualifications of their Nominees and the long-term underperformance of the Issuer.

 

JDS1 has engaged, and remains open to continuing to engage, with the Board and management of the Issuer to reach a mutually agreeable resolution that would avoid the need for an election contest at the Annual Meeting. While JDS1 believes that one of the Issuer’s settlement proposals was substantially adequate, the Issuer subsequently determined that it would not be willing to settle on the terms that were previously proposed by the Issuer. JDS1 believes that the Issuer’s subsequent proposals have been inadequate and the Issuer has rejected JDS1’s settlement proposals.

 

JDS1’s independent, highly qualified director candidates include:

 

Wayne Barr, Jr., age 52, is managing director of Alliance Group of NC, LLC, a full service real estate firm providing brokerage, planning and consulting services throughout North Carolina to a wide variety of stakeholders including landowners, developers, builders and investors, a position he has held since January 2013. Mr. Barr is also the principal of Oakleaf Consulting Group LLC, a management consulting firm focusing on technology and telecommunications companies, which he founded in 2001. Mr. Barr also co-founded and was president from 2003 to 2008 of Capital & Technology Advisors, a management consulting and restructuring firm. Mr. Barr has served as a director of HC2 Holdings, Inc. since January 2014, where he served as chair of the audit committee from January 2014 until June 2016. Mr. Barr has previously served on the boards of directors of Anacomp, Leap Wireless International, NEON Communications and Globix Corporation. Mr. Barr received his JD from Albany Law School of Union University and is admitted to practice law in New York State. He is also a licensed real estate broker in the state of North Carolina.

 

JDS1 selected Mr. Barr as a nominee because he brings a wide range of experience serving as an executive, including serving as a director of other publicly traded companies. Mr. Barr also has knowledge regarding, and experience with, accounting matters.

 

Richard R. Ramlall, 60, is President of Ramlall Partners LLC, and provides investor relations, financial and regulatory due diligence and compliance, business development, strategic planning, and public relations consulting to public and private organizations. He also was selected to the 2014-2016 Advisory Board of the Washington Wizards NBA Franchise. Mr. Ramlall has served as a director of Evolving Systems, Inc. since March 2008, where he also served on the compensation and governance committees, and also served as the acting CFO of a private firm, Kika Holdings from March 2014 to December 2015, and as Senior Regulatory Adviser for Primus Telecommunications Group. Prior to his Senior Regulatory Adviser position with Primus, from November 2010 to August 2013, he served as Senior Vice President, Corporate Development and Chief Communications Officer of Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated, a leading provider of advanced communication solutions, including broadband Internet, traditional and IP voice, data, mobile services, collocation, hosting, and outsourced managed services to business and residential customers in the United States, Canada and Australia. From March 2005 to August 2010, he served as Senior Vice President, Strategic External Affairs and Programming at RCN Corporation, a leading broadband provider of video, data, and voice services to residential, business and commercial/carrier customers. Mr. Ramlall formerly served on the Alzheimer’s Association—National Capital Area Board of Directors from 2008-2012 and as a director on the boards of a number of private company. Mr. Ramlall holds an M.G.A. (Technology Management) and a B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Maryland.

 

 

 

 

 

JDS1 selected Mr. Ramlall as a nominee because of his years of experience serving as an executive, including operational, corporate development and mergers and acquisitions experience, as well as his service as a director of other publicly traded companies. Mr. Ramlall also has knowledge regarding, and experience with, investor relations and compliance and the cable industry.

 

Matthew Stecker, age 47, has served as a Senior Policy Advisor to the United States Department of Commerce since November 2014 and currently serves on the boards of Evolving Systems, Inc., where he also served on the audit committee, and Live Microsystems, Inc. Mr. Stecker previously served as a director for HealthWarehouse.com Inc. from December 2010 to August 2013, where he also served on the compensation committee, and MRV Communications from April 2013 to June 2016, where he served as the chairman of the audit committee. Previously, from January to November 2014, Mr. Stecker served as the Vice President of Mobile Entertainment for RealNetworks. From November 2009 to December 2013, he served as CEO of Live MicroSystems, Inc., and from April 2005 to November 2009 he was a senior executive in both Telecom Operations and Strategy at Cartesian, Inc. Mr. Stecker received his JD from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Law and holds a BA in Political Science and Computer Science from Duke University.

 

JDS1 selected Mr. Stecker as a nominee because of his 20 years of experience as a public company executive and his service on the boards of directors of other publicly traded companies and his deep industry knowledge and experience.
