The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 125 S. Wacker Drive, Suite 1250, Chicago, Illinois 60606. Unless specifically amended hereby, the disclosure set forth in the Statement shall remain unchanged. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 2 shall have the meanings set forth in the Statement.

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On June 25, 2023, Franklin delivered a non-binding proposal to Mr. Irwin Simon, the Executive Chairman of the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Issuer, pursuant to which Sababa or one of its affiliates, would be willing to enter into a transaction to acquire the Issuer and combine it with Royal Oak Enterprises, LLC (“Royal Oak”), for which Franklin serves as Executive Chairman, for cash consideration of $4.00 per share (the “Proposal”).

The Proposal may result in one or more of the transactions, events or actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including without limitation, an acquisition of additional securities of the Issuer, an extraordinary corporate transaction (such as a merger) involving the Issuer, delisting of the Common Stock of the Issuer and other material changes to the Issuer’s business or corporate structure.

No assurances can be given that a definitive agreement will be reached or that the transaction contemplated by the Proposal will be consummated. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to modify or withdraw the Proposal at any time. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to formulate other plans or make other proposals which could result in one or more of the transactions, events or actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, and to modify or withdraw any such plan or proposal at any time.

The Reporting Persons do not intend to update additional disclosures regarding the Proposal until a definitive agreement has been reached, or unless disclosure is otherwise required under applicable U.S. securities laws. The Reporting Persons intend to engage in discussions with the Issuer regarding the terms of the Proposal. The Reporting Persons may change the terms of the Proposal, determine to accelerate or terminate discussions with the Issuer with respect to the Proposal, withdraw the Proposal, take any action to facilitate or increase the likelihood of consummation of the Proposal, or change their intentions with respect to any such

matters, in each case at any time and without prior notice. The Reporting Persons and their affiliates will, directly or indirectly, take such additional steps as they may deem appropriate to further the Proposal or otherwise to support their investment in the Issuer, including, without limitation: (i) engaging in discussions with advisors and other relevant parties and (ii) entering into confidentiality arrangements and other agreements, arrangements and understandings in connection with the Proposal.

Neither the Proposal nor this Amendment No. 2 is meant to be, nor should be construed as, an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell any of the Issuer’s securities.
