or similar misdemeanors).
(e) None
of the Reporting Parties described herein has, during the last five years, been party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative

CUSIP No. 694103102 | 13D | Page 9
of 12 |
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The Reporting Persons acquired shares of Pacific
Coast for investment purposes.
Shipyard, CCP, Mr. Keenan, and Evergreen believe
that the trustee is not properly representing unitholders. The trustee has refused to file suit against PCEC for what we believe are illegal
and improper assessments against the trust, preventing the trust from making distributions and potentially forcing dissolution and liquidation,
which we believe would harm unitholders.
In pursuing such investment purposes, the Reporting
Persons may further purchase, hold, vote, trade, dispose or otherwise deal in the units at times, and in such manner, as they deem advisable
to benefit from, among other things, (1) changes in the market prices of the units; (2) changes in the Issuer’s operations,
business strategy or prospects; or (3) from the sale or merger of the Issuer. To evaluate such alternatives, the Reporting Persons
will closely monitor the Issuer’s operations, prospects, business development, management, competitive and strategic matters, capital
structure, and prevailing market conditions, as well as other economic, securities markets, and investment considerations. Consistent
with their investment research methods and evaluation criteria, the Reporting Persons may discuss such matters with the trustee of the
Issuer (the “Trustee”), other unitholders, industry analysts, existing or potential strategic partners or competitors, investment
and financing professionals, sources of credit, and other investors. Such evaluations and discussions may materially affect, and result
in, among other things, the Reporting Persons (1) modifying their ownership of the units; (2) exchanging information with the
Issuer pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements; (3) proposing changes in the Issuer’s operations, governance
or capitalization; (4) proposing changes of the trust’s trustee or bylaws; or (5) pursuing one or more of the other actions
described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
In addition to the information disclosed in this
Statement, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to (1) formulate other plans and proposals; (2) take any actions with respect
to their investment in the Issuer, including any or all of the actions set forth in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of
Schedule 13D; and (3) acquire additional units or dispose of some or all of the units beneficially owned by them, in each case in
the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The Reporting Persons may at any time reconsider and change their
plans or proposals relating to the foregoing.
On October 11, 2022, Shipyard and CCP sent
a letter to the trustee requesting that it file suit against PCEC, the trust’s operator, or face a special meeting vote to be removed
as trustee. That letter was filed as Exhibit 2 to the Schedule 13D filed the same day. On October 17, 2022, the trustee filed
a response letter on Form 8K, indicating that it intended to take no action against the operator at that time. On November 3,
2022, Shipyard and CCP sent a letter to the trustee further explaining why PCEC’s accounting is improper, and reiterating their
intent to call a special meeting to vote on the trustee’s removal. That letter was filed as Exhibit 2 to the amended Schedule
13D filed the same day. On November 14, 2022, the trustee filed a response letter on form 8K, purporting to respond to the letter
of November 3. On December 12, 2022, Shipyard and CCP sent a letter to the trustee, explaining in further detail how the trustee
was failing to defend unitholders’ rights under the Conveyance Agreement and the Trust Agreement, and demanding that a special meeting
of unitholders be called for the purpose of voting on the trustee’s removal and voting to approve that the trustee be directed to
take no action to dissolve the trust during the remainder of its tenure as trustee. That letter was filed as Exhibit 2 to the Schedule
13D filed the same day.
