The description set forth in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference. Harris & Harris acquired such securities in the Company for investment purposes. Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to Harris, the availability of Shares at prices that would make the purchase of additional Shares desirable, or the market price at which Shares are then currently trading that would make the sale of Shares desirable (in either case, including market prices that may exist as a result of this filing or other filings by Harris), Harris may increase or decrease its position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Shares on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as Harris may deem advisable. Harris does not have any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon completion of any of the actions discussed herein.
Harris intends to review its investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and to engage in discussions with management and the Board of Directors of the Issuer concerning the business, operations, corporate governance and future plans of the Issuer. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer's financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, Harris may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation,
| |
• | communicating privately or publicly with other stockholders, the Issuer's Board of Directors or other persons; |
| |
• | making proposals or director nominations to the Issuer; |
| |
• | soliciting proxies with respect to proposals or director nominees made by Harris; |
| |
• | supporting proposals or director nominations made by Harris or other stockholders; |
| |
• | purchasing additional Shares or selling some or all of their Shares; or |
| |
• | changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in this Item 4. |
