(c.) Except for those transactions described herein (see Items 3 and 6), to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no other transactions in the Common Shares were effected by the persons enumerated in response to paragraph (a) during the past 60 days.

As a result of the Standstill Agreement, the Reporting Persons ceased to beneficially own more than five percent of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Shares.

To the best of the Reporting Persons' knowledge and except as described in this Amendment No. 66, there are no other material changes to this Item 6 from the Schedule 13D/A filed with the Commission on August 13, 2020.
