Depending upon his assessment of these factors from time to time, Mr. Price may change his present intentions as stated above, including determining to acquire additional Common Shares or other securities of the Company (by means of open-market or privately negotiated purchases) or to dispose of some or all of the Common Shares or other securities of the Company held by or under his control. In addition, Mr. Price may, from time to time, enter into equity swap or other derivative transactions with respect to his investment in the Common Shares or other securities of the Company.
