forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements about our intention to conduct the
Rights Offering and Concurrent Private Rights Offering, which statements are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking
statements are intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this communication, or incorporated by reference into this communication,
are forward-looking statements. Throughout this communication, we have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by using words
such as &#8220;anticipate,&#8221; &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;continue,&#8221; &#8220;could,&#8221; &#8220;estimate,&#8221; &#8220;expect,&#8221;

expressions or the negative thereof, although not all forward-looking statements contain these terms. Forward-looking statements address
future events and conditions concerning, among other things, our intention to conduct the Rights Offering and Concurrent Private Rights
Offering, acquisition and development activities, financial results of our acquired businesses, intellectual property, or IP, licensing
and enforcement activities, other related business activities, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, capital expenditures, earnings, litigation,
regulatory matters, markets for our services, liquidity and capital resources and accounting matters. Forward-looking statements are subject
to substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause our future business, financial condition, results of operations or performance
to differ materially from our historical results or those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement contained in this communication.
All of our forward-looking statements include assumptions underlying or relating to such statements that may cause actual results to differ
materially from those that we are currently expecting, and are subject to numerous factors that present considerable risks and uncertainties,
including, without limitation: our ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Recapitalization Agreement, including the
Rights Offering and Concurrent Private Rights Offering, and the possibility that we may be unable to satisfy the conditions to the closing
of the Rights Offering and Concurrent Private Rights Offering or such transactions will not be consummated within the expected time period
or at all; our costly acquisitions of and investment in operating businesses and intellectual property; our ability to attract and retain
employees and management teams of our operating businesses, the loss of any of whom could materially adversely affect our financial condition,
business and results of operations; our relationship with Starboard Value LP and the impact of transactions we have undertaken with respect
to its investments in our Company that are intended to simplify our capital structure; the due diligence process we undertake in connection
with new acquisitions of operating businesses or intellectual property assets; our acquisition of privately held companies; we may be
deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; our outsourcing of a number of services to third-party
service providers, which are subject to disruptions, delays, and decrease in our control, which could adversely impact our results of
operations; recent U.S. tax legislation; cybersecurity incidents; public health threats such as COVID-19; our expectations related to
the use of the net proceeds from the Rights Offering; our ability to implement the use of proceeds as currently expected, and our ability
to achieve the anticipated benefits of such use of proceeds; contractual restrictions under the Recapitalization Agreement; and other
risks relating to the consummation of the full transactions contemplated by the Recapitalization Agreement, including the Rights Offering
and the Concurrent Private Rights Offering, including the risk that any or all of such transactions that have not yet been consummated
will not be consummated within the expected time period or at all and the risk that our proceeds from the Rights Offering may be significantly
less than the maximum proceeds if our share price does not exceed the subscription price during the subscription period.</p>

on March 1, 2023 (the &ldquo;<B>Expiration Date</B>&rdquo;). Set forth above is the number of shares of Common Stock that the Rights Holder
owns and which should be used to calculate the total number of Rights the Rights Holder is entitled to exercise pursuant to the Subscription.
No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon the exercise of any Rights. Accordingly, an Eligible Securityholder must own
at a minimum four (4) shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date to receive one (1) Right to purchase a share of Common Stock at the
Subscription Price. Any fractional shares of Common Stock will be rounded down to the nearest whole share. The Rights are non-transferable

to anyone else.</P>

actual results to differ materially from those that we are currently expecting, and are subject to numerous factors that present considerable
risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation: our ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Recapitalization
Agreement, dated as of October 30, 2022, including the Rights Offering and Concurrent Private Rights Offering, and the possibility that
we may be unable to satisfy the conditions to the closing of the Rights Offering and Concurrent Private Rights Offering or such transactions
will not be consummated within the expected time period or at all, our costly acquisitions of and investment in operating businesses
and intellectual property; our ability to attract and retain employees and management teams of our operating businesses, the loss of
any of whom could materially adversely affect our financial condition, business and results of operations; our relationship with Starboard
Value LP and the impact of transactions we have undertaken with respect to its investments in our Company that are intended to simplify
our capital structure; the due diligence process we undertake in connection with new acquisitions of operating businesses or intellectual
property assets; our acquisition of privately held companies; we may be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended; our outsourcing of a number of services to third-party service providers, which are subject to disruptions,
delays, and decrease in our control, which could adversely impact our results of operations; recent U.S. tax legislation; cybersecurity
incidents; public health threats such as COVID-19; our expectations related to the use of the net proceeds from the Rights Offering;
our ability to implement the use of proceeds as currently expected, and our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of such use of
proceeds; contractual restrictions under the Recapitalization Agreement; and other risks relating to the consummation of the full transactions
contemplated by the Recapitalization Agreement, including the Rights Offering and the Concurrent Private Rights Offering, including the
risk that any or all of such transactions that have not yet been consummated will not be consummated within the expected time period
or at all and the risk that our proceeds from the Rights Offering may be significantly less than the maximum proceeds if our share price
does not exceed the subscription price during the subscription period.</FONT></P>
