On April 29, 2021, JCP Investment Management (10.4%) stated that it intends to communicate with the management, Board and other interested parties, about a broad range of operational and strategic matters, and discuss with such persons a potential sale of the company as a means of enhancing stockholder value.

On July 14, 2021, the company announced that it has received an unsolicited proposal from Americana Partners, LLC to acquire the Company for $25 per share in cash. But the company rejected the offer.
On January 5, 2022, JCP Investment Management (10.4%) stated that it privately wrote to the Board seeking an explanation how the company’s standalone plan represents a better risk-adjusted path forward than $25 per Share in cash. The private letter also called on the Board to release a three-year plan and outline the value creation plan for shareholders, or, alternatively, commence and disclose a robust strategic review process. It stated that on January 5, 2022, the Shares are trading at $16.87, which is nearly 33% less than the $25 per Share cash offer that the Board rejected. Given the company's continued underperformance under the stewardship of the current Board and management team, JCP Investment Management believes that the company should immediately commence a strategic review process, including a possible sale of the company, as a means to maximize stockholder value.
