The Company, the Dealer Manager, the Adviser, and the Sponsor are, collectively, the “Issuer Entities.”
WHEREAS, Ameriprise and the Issuer Entities agreed that Ameriprise will offer and sell, on a best efforts basis, Company shares of common stock to its clients, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Issuer Entities have advised that the Company does not yet meet certain independent ownership thresholds to secure an exemption from regulatory requirements so that assets of the Company will not be deemed plan assets under the Department of Labor’s Plan Assets Regulations;
WHEREAS, Ameriprise has agreed to notify its advisors and clients that it must temporarily prohibit qualified accounts from buying Company shares until the Department of Labor’s regulatory requirements are met and the exemption secured; and
