We would ask that Whitfield Graves set up or provide access to a virtual data room for the organized production of responsive materials. When the data room is ready, we would appreciate login credentials for the following members of the Calderwood & Harkness team:

Additionally, I wanted to flag that the Special Committee is currently in the process of engaging an independent financial advisor. Once that engagement is finalized, we will follow up with a separate request to extend data room access to the advisory team. We expect to have that confirmed shortly.

Given the Special Committee's process requirements and its obligation to conduct a thorough, independent evaluation of the proposed transaction consistent with Delaware fiduciary duty standards, we would like to propose the following production timeline:

These categories are foundational to our review and will allow us to begin substantive analysis promptly.

This timeline is designed to allow sufficient review in advance of a management presentation that the Special Committee intends to schedule in the weeks following.

We understand that compiling these materials requires considerable effort, and if the proposed timeline presents any difficulties, we are happy to discuss a mutually agreeable schedule. That said, I would underscore the importance of timely production to ensure that the Special Committee can fulfill its independent evaluation mandate.

I want to take a moment to reiterate the independence protocol that has been established by the Special Committee. Pursuant to that protocol, all due diligence materials should be produced directly to Calderwood & Harkness LLP (and, once engaged, the Special Committee's independent financial advisor). Materials and information related to this diligence process **should not** be shared with Dr. Marcus Hale, Angela Whi

Daniel Obi (copied here) will be assisting with the day-to-day review and tracking of produced materials, and he will be a regular point of contact as well. If it would be helpful, I would be glad to schedule a call early next week — Monday or Tuesday — to walk through the request list together and discuss logistics for the data room and production process. Please let me know what works for your schedule.
