solicitor, Innisfree M&amp;A Incorporated, through the afternoon of January&nbsp;15, 2020 and the number of the Company&#146;s common shares and Series A preferred shares outstanding as reported in the Company&#146;s Form <FONT

tabulation does not reflect the final results of the proxy solicitation. At any point at or prior to the Company&#146;s annual meeting on April&nbsp;30, 2020, shareholders can change their vote, revoke their proxy or vote on the Company&#146;s white
proxy card. In addition, the Company has not yet filed its proxy statement for the annual meeting, set a record date for the annual meeting or, to Hudson Executive&#146;s knowledge, solicited shareholders on its white proxy card. As such, the final
results of the proxy solicitation will not be known until the annual meeting is held. At this stage, no outcome of the annual meeting can be predicted and the tabulation will change. </P>
