Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

In early March, the Issuer sent a letter to VIEX requesting additional information from the Nominees (the “Information Requests”) purportedly required under the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”). VIEX and the Issuer then exchanged letters regarding the scope and appropriateness of the Information Requests. On March 26, 2021, VIEX informed the Issuer that it would not be responding to the Information Requests as it was not seeking to have the Issuer’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee support the Nominees because it was intending to run its own proxy solicitation. VIEX further informed the Issuer that it viewed the Information Requests as not reasonable or relevant and that they did not appear to serve any purpose other than seeking to harass and intimidate the Nominees.

CUSIP No. 482738101

Over a month later, on April 30, 2022, the Issuer notified VIEX that the Board has determined that the Nominees are ineligible to stand for election to the Board. The next business day, the Issuer repeated this claim in its preliminary proxy statement and publicly announced that the Board had determined that the nomination of the Nominees would be disregarded at the 2021 Annual Meeting because the Nominees failed to respond to the Information Requests.

VIEX strongly disagrees and disputes the Issuer’s claim that is has grounds to invalidate VIEX’s nomination of the Nominees. VIEX believes that disqualifying the Nominees not only has no legal basis but would disenfranchise the Issuer’s stockholders from choosing new directors at the 2021 Annual Meeting. VIEX intends to continue its solicitation for the election of the Nominees and reserves all rights to pursue any and all legal remedies.

On May 4, 2021, Potomac Capital, Potomac Capital GP, Potomac Capital Management and Mr. Solit joined VIEX’s “group,” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, for the purpose of seeking the election of the Nominees to the Board at the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders of the Issuer (the “2021 Annual Meeting”) and for the purpose of taking all other action necessary to achieve the foregoing. The Group believes that the Nominees have the necessary experience, qualifications and skill sets to serve as directors of the Issuer and create meaningful change at the Issuer to maximize value for all stockholders.

With the additions of Potomac Capital, Potomac Capital GP, Potomac Capital Management and Mr. Solit, the Reporting Persons believe their Group possesses even more industry experience, insight and vision that can help the Issuer improve its operations and maximize value for all stockholders.

The Reporting Persons now constitute the largest stockholder of the Issuer and have nominated two highly qualified directors with strong governance and strategic expertise that the group believes are sorely needed to hold management accountable for decades of poor performance. While the group has focused on the issues at hand in an effort to restore profitability at the Issuer and improve TSR, the Board appears to be seeking to avoid accountability. It has determined to self-refresh without any apparent stockholder input and seems prepared to engage in a low-road campaign designed to smear the reputations of the group’s Nominees and certain other members of the group. While the Reporting Persons welcome the addition of new, diverse candidates to the Board, they should not be added as a defense measure to avoid the election of directors with personal capital at risk who will be strong voices in the Board room to help improve the Issuer’s financial and stock price performance.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Items 5(a) – (c) are hereby amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:

The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each Reporting Person is based upon 18,485,430 Shares outstanding, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as of April 21, 2021 as reported in the Issuer’s Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2021.
