IF THERE IS A POSSIBLE AVENUE FOR SETTLEMENT THAT MERITS BRINGING BEFORE THE BOARD, THE NEXT OPPORTUNTY WILL BE AUGUST 1, 2022 BOARD MEETING AND WE COULD SCHEDULE TIME FOR A DISCUSSION AT THE MEETING, BUT THIS ONLY MAKES SENSE IF THERE IS SOME AVENUE THAT THE BOARD COULD LEGITMATELY CONSIDER IN LIGHT OF THE REVERTER CLAUSE IN THE DEED.
