Dear Fellow Capital Senior Living Corporation Stockholders:

Ortelius Advisors, L.P. (“OA”), Pangaea Ventures, L.P. (“Pangaea”) and Peter DeSorcy (together with OA and Pangaea, “Ortelius”, “we” or “us”) beneficially own approximately 12.7% of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Capital Senior Living Corporation., a Delaware corporation (“CSU” or the “Company”), making Ortelius one of the Company’s largest stockholders.

We are furnishing to you the attached proxy statement and the enclosed GOLD proxy card in connection with our solicitation of proxies to vote AGAINST the Company’s proposals related to its proposed transactions with affiliates of Conversant Capital LLC (collectively “Conversant”) as contemplated by an Investment Agreement entered into by and among the Company and certain Conversant entities (the “Investment Agreement) and other related agreements (such proposed transactions, collectively, the “Transactions”), at the upcoming special meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “Special Meeting”).

In accordance with the terms of the Investment Agreement, the Company is holding the Special Meeting for its stockholders to consider the following proposals: (i) the issuance of up to 150,000 shares of newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) to Conversant, which shares will be convertible into shares of Common Stock (the “Issuance Proposal”), (ii) an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, the “Charter”) to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 4,333,334 to 15,000,000 shares (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”), (iii) an amendment to the Company’s existing 2019 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan to (a) increase the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company may issue under such plan from 150,000 shares to 797,699 shares and (b) exclude 257,000 shares from the minimum vesting provisions of such plan (the “Omnibus Amendment Proposal”) and (iv) the adjournment of the Special Meeting to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient proxies at the Special Meeting to approve the foregoing proposals (the “Adjournment Proposal”, and collectively with the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Issuance Proposal and the Omnibus Amendment Proposal, each a “Proposal” and together the “Proposals”).

The Transactions, if consummated, would effectively sell control of the Company to Conversant – potentially up to 63.12% of the voting power and the right to designate a majority of the board of directors – at what we believe is a material discount. We strongly oppose the Transactions with Conversant and urge stockholders to vote AGAINST each of the Proposals at the Special Meeting.

We urge you to carefully consider the information contained in the attached proxy statement and then support our efforts by signing, dating and returning the enclosed GOLD proxy card today. The attached proxy statement and the enclosed GOLD proxy card are first being furnished to the stockholders on or about September 2, 2021.

If you have already voted for any of the Proposals, you have every right to change your vote by signing, dating and returning a later dated GOLD proxy card or by voting in person at the Special Meeting.

 

 

If you have any questions or require any assistance with your vote, please contact Okapi Partners LLC, which is assisting us, at its address and toll-free number listed below.


Thank you for your support.

CAPITAL SENIOR LIVING CORPORATION

_________________________

PROXY STATEMENT
OF
ORTELIUS ADVISORS, L.P.
_________________________

PLEASE SIGN, DATE AND MAIL THE ENCLOSED GOLD PROXY CARD TODAY

 

Ortelius Advisors, L.P. (“OA”), Pangaea Ventures, L.P. (“Pangaea”) and Peter DeSorcy (together with OA and Pangaea, “Ortelius”, “we” or “us”) beneficially own approximately 12.7% of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Capital Senior Living Corporation., a Delaware corporation (“CSU” or the “Company”), making Ortelius one of the Company’s largest stockholders.

We are furnishing to you the attached proxy statement and the enclosed GOLD proxy card in connection with our solicitation of proxies at the Company’s upcoming special meeting of stockholders scheduled to be held at the Residence Inn Dallas by the Galleria, Highland Park Conference Room, 5460 James Temple Drive, Dallas, Texas 75240 on October 12, 2021, at 10:00 a.m., Central Time (including any adjournments, postponements, continuations or reschedulings thereof and any meeting which may be called in lieu thereof, the “Special Meeting”). This Proxy Statement and GOLD proxy card are first being furnished to the Company’s stockholders on or about September 2, 2021.

At the Special Meeting, the Company is seeking stockholder approval of certain proposals related to its proposed transactions with affiliates of Conversant Capital LLC (collectively “Conversant”) as contemplated by an Investment Agreement entered into by and among the Company and certain Conversant entities (the “Investment Agreement) and other related agreements (such proposed transactions, collectively, the “Transactions”).

The Transactions, if consummated, would effectively sell control of the Company to Conversant – potentially up to 63.12% of the voting power and the right to designate a majority of the board of directors – at what we believe is a material discount. We strongly oppose the Transactions with Conversant and urge stockholders to vote AGAINST each of the Company’s proposals at the Special Meeting.

Pursuant to the Company’s proxy statement for the Special Meeting, the following proposals will be considered at the Special Meeting (such proposals, collectively, the “Proposals”):

1.The Company’s proposal to approve the issuance of up to 150,000 shares of newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), which shares shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock (the “Issuance Proposal”);
2.The Company’s proposal to approve an amendment (the “Charter Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”), to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock from 4,333,334 to 15,000,000 shares (“the Charter Amendment Proposal”);
 

 

3.The Company’s proposal to approve an amendment (the “Plan Amendment”) to the Company’s existing 2019 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan to (i) increase the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company may issue under such plan from 150,000 shares to 797,699 shares and (ii) exclude 257,000 shares from the minimum vesting provisions of such plan (the “Omnibus Amendment Proposal”); and
4.The Company’s proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient proxies at the Special Meeting to approve the foregoing Proposals (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

According to the Company’s proxy statement, the Company has set the close of business on August 25, 2021 as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting (the “Record Date”). The mailing address of the principal executive offices of the Company is 14160 Dallas Parkway, Suite 300, Dallas, TX 75254. According to the Company’s proxy statement, every stockholder of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote at the Special Meeting for each share of Common Stock held. According to the Company’s proxy statement, as of the close of business on the Record Date, there were 2,190,599 shares of Common Stock outstanding.

As disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement, stockholder approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, and stockholder approval of the Issuance Proposal, the Omnibus Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal each requires the affirmative vote of a majority of shares of Common Stock present (in person or by proxy) and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.

As of the date of this proxy statement, Ortelius beneficially owns 277,423 shares of Common Stock. We intend to vote our shares of Common Stock AGAINST each of the Proposals.

THIS SOLICITATION IS BEING MADE BY ORTELIUS AND NOT ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OR MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY. WE ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY OTHER MATTERS TO BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE SPECIAL MEETING OTHER THAN AS DESCRIBED HEREIN. SHOULD OTHER MATTERS, WHICH WE ARE NOT AWARE OF A REASONABLE TIME BEFORE THIS SOLICITATION, BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE SPECIAL MEETING, THE PERSONS NAMED AS PROXIES IN THE ENCLOSED GOLD PROXY CARD WILL VOTE ON SUCH MATTERS IN THEIR DISCRETION.

ORTELIUS URGES YOU TO SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE GOLD PROXY CARD VOTING AGAINST EACH OF THE PROPOSALS.

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SENT A PROXY CARD FURNISHED BY THE COMPANY’S MANAGEMENT OR THE BOARD, YOU MAY REVOKE THAT PROXY AND VOTE AGAINST THE PROPOSALS BY SIGNING, DATING AND RETURNING THE ENCLOSED GOLD PROXY CARD. THE LATEST DATED PROXY IS THE ONLY ONE THAT COUNTS. ANY PROXY MAY BE REVOKED AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE SPECIAL MEETING BY DELIVERING A WRITTEN NOTICE OF REVOCATION OR A LATER DATED PROXY FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING, OR BY VOTING AT THE SPECIAL MEETING.

BACKGROUND TO THE SOLICITATION 

 

·On February 5, 2021, representatives of Ortelius had a telephone discussion with Kimberly Lody, Brandon Ribar and Tiffany Dutton, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of Finance and Accounting, respectively, to discuss the Company’s existing debt and opportunities to extend or refinance its debt.
·On March 25, 2021, Ortelius filed its initial Schedule 13D with the SEC, disclosing a 5.7% ownership position in the Company.
·On May 7, 2021, representatives of Ortelius had a telephone discussion with Ms. Lody and Mr. Ribar to further discuss the Company’s existing debt, including the Company’s loans maturing in December 2021, and opportunities to extend or refinance its debt.
·On June 9, 2021, Ortelius filed Amendment No. 1 to its Schedule 13D, disclosing a 6.9% ownership position in the Company.
·On July 22, 2021, the Company filed a Form 8-K and DEFA14A announcing its entry into the Investment Agreement and the Transactions.
·On July 29, 2021, representatives of Ortelius had a telephone discussion with Ms. Lody and Mr. Ribar to discuss the Company’s entry into the Investment Agreement with Conversant and the potential use of proceeds from the Transactions, including to pay down a portion of the Company’s existing debt.
·On August 9, 2021, Ortelius delivered a letter to the Board (the “August 9 Letter”) expressing its strong opposition to the Transactions. Ortelius noted the plunge in the Company’s stock price since the Transactions were announced and expressed its concerns regarding the troubling terms of the Transactions, and their implications for the Company’s stockholders. Ortelius offered to meet with and assist the Board in exploring alternative strategic and/or financing options. Also on August 9, 2021, Ortelius issued a corresponding press release including the full text of the August 9 Letter.
·On August 9, 2021, Ortelius filed Amendment No. 2 to its Schedule 13D, disclosing an 11.7% ownership position in the Company and delivery of the August 9 Letter.
·On August 10, 2021, the Company sent Ortelius a letter acknowledging receipt of the August 9 Letter and directing Ortelius to the Company’s upcoming preliminary proxy statement, and the Company filed a DEFA14A with substantially the same message for the Company’s other stockholders. The Company did not otherwise contact Ortelius to address the substance of the August 9 Letter.

·On August 12, 2021, Ortelius filed Amendment No. 3 to its Schedule 13D, disclosing a 12.7% ownership position in the Company.

·On August 16, 2021, the Company filed its preliminary proxy statement with the SEC.

·On August 17, 2021, Ortelius filed its preliminary proxy statement with the SEC.

·On August 24, 2021, Ortelius issued a press release including an open letter to the Company’s stockholders (the “August 24 Letter”). In the August 24 Letter, Ortelius reiterated its unequivocal opposition to the exceedingly costly and highly-dilutive Transactions, and asked stockholders deciding whether or not to support the Transactions to consider: (1) the Board’s seemingly flawed and inadequate process for assessing the Company’s capital needs and entering into the agreement with Conversant, (2) the gross misalignment between the Company’s existing stockholders and its management, bankers and Conversant, and (3) the Board’s lengthy track record of poor oversight and value-destructive decisions.  Ortelius expressed its belief that the Board has a long history of presiding over poor business decisions that have resulted in perpetual value destruction for the Company and its stockholders. The August 24 Letter stated that Ortelius views the Transactions as the latest in an array of strategic blunders by the current Board, which have contributed to the Company’s steep stock price decline.

·On August 31, 2021, the Company filed its definitive proxy statement with the SEC.

·On September 2, 2021, Ortelius filed its definitive proxy statement with the SEC.

REASONS FOR THE SOLICITATION

 

As one of the Company’s largest stockholders, with holdings equal to approximately 12.7% of the outstanding common stock, we strongly oppose the Transactions with Conversant and urge stockholders to vote “Against” each of the Company’s proposals at the Special Meeting.

 

The Terms of the Transactions are Egregious and Would Effectively Sell Control of the Company to Conversant at a Material Discount

 

While the Company is touting the Transactions as a “financing arrangement,” we believe that in fact the Transactions, if consummated, would effectively sell control of the Company to Conversant at what we believe is a material discount. The Transactions contain aggressive terms and although they are labeled as a “financing,” they actually share several common features typically associated with M&A transactions. Some of the more troubling terms associated with the proposed Transactions are highlighted below:

 

·A highly-dilutive $82.5 million private placement of the newly created Series A Preferred Stock that will accrue preferred dividends at a rate of 11% to 15%, and will be convertible into Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $40.00 per share, which is a 16% discount to the 30-trading day VWAP ending July 21, 2021, the day before the announcement of the Transactions (the “Private Placement”).

 

·The exceedingly costly interim debt financing from Conversant of approximately $17.3 million, with a headline interest rate of 15% and ~$2.3 million earmarked to pay Conversant’s costs and expenses, and with a payment premium to give Conversant a capital return of 1.05x to 1.20x on top of accrued interest.

 

·The commitment from Conversant to backstop $42.5 million (the “Backstop Commitment”) of an approximately $70 million Common Stock Rights Offering (the “Rights Offering”) to existing stockholders as of 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on September 10, 2021, the record date for the Rights Offering, at $32.00 per share, to be funded through the issuance of additional Series A Preferred Stock to Conversant and potentially by Conversant deeming the interim financing repaid.

 

·$25 million accordion from Conversant for certain post-closing expenditures, to be funded through the issuance of additional Series A Preferred Stock to Conversant (the “Equity Accordion”).

 

·Upon closing of the Transactions and for so long as Conversant beneficially owns at least 15% of the Common Stock on an as-converted basis, Conversant will have the right to designate a pro rata number of directors (rounded to the nearest whole number) for nomination to the Board, and for so long as Conversant beneficially owns at least 20% of the Common Stock on an as-converted basis, Conversant also will be entitled to designate the Board chair.

 

·According to the Company’s proxy statement, (i) assuming the Private Placement is completed, the full amount of the Backstop Commitment is exercised and the full amount of the Equity Accordion is funded, Conversant would have 63.12% of the voting power of stockholders (on an as-converted basis) and the right to designate five directors of an eight person Board, and (ii) even assuming that holders of the Common Stock exercise rights in the Rights Offering to purchase at least $42.5 million (and as a result no shares of Series A Preferred Stock are issued to Conversant under the Backstop Commitment), Conversant would have 32.01% of the voting power of stockholders (on an as-converted basis) and the right to designate three directors of an eight person Board, in each case, based on 2,190,599 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 10, 2021.

 

5

 

·Covenants and consent requirements prior to and following closing of the Transactions that prohibit the Company from taking various actions without Conversant’s consent, giving Conversant effective control of the Company in certain business-critical respects.

 

·The Company has established an aggregate $4.215 million cash pool to pay M&A-style retention awards to senior management and certain employees, which are triggered by the closing of the Transactions.

 

The Market’s Overwhelmingly Negative Reaction to the Announcement of the Transactions Speaks Volumes

 

The market’s response to the announcement of the Transactions has been overwhelmingly negative. The Company’s stock price plunged an incredible 48% from when the Transactions were announced on July 22, 2021 to August 4, 2021, the day before we commenced significant open market share purchases. The market evidently recognizes the highly-questionable nature of the Transactions and their egregious terms, which hinder the Company’s business with excessive costs and threaten to transfer control of the Company to Conversant. In sum, we believe that the Transactions demonstrably fail to maximize the value of the Company, which is now trading at a significant discount to its underlying assets.

 

The Transactions are Not in the Best Interests of the Company’s Stockholders and the Company would be Better off With Stockholders Rejecting the Company’s Proposals at the Special Meeting

 

We believe that these Transactions, in addition to effectively handing control of the Company to Conversant and hindering the business with excessive costs, would punitively dilute existing stockholders. We also believe that the Board failed to adequately consider all alternatives available to it at year end, and instead entered into these ill-advised agreements with Conversant. We find it alarming that the Board would effectively seek to sell control of the Company by way of these damaging Transactions that we believe demonstrably fail to maximize the value of the Company. We contend that the Company is well-positioned to succeed, given the industry is recovering from losses sustained during the pandemic, the Company’s occupancy and financial metrics were reportedly improving, long-term demographic tailwinds remain intact, and the Company’s announcement that the hard work of its “three-year transformational strategy” to stabilize the business is “complete.”1

 

As shown by our recent acquisitions of Common Stock, we believe that even with the Company’s exceedingly costly interim debt financing from Conversant, there is significant value to unlock for the benefit of the Company’s stockholders. We believe that following stockholders’ rejection of the Transactions and termination of the Company’s Investment Agreement with Conversant, there would remain ample opportunities for the Company to explore alternative strategic and/or financing options to address any capital requirements in a manner that benefits all equity holders. We stand ready, willing and able to meet with the Board and assist the Company with its near-term capital needs and other strategic initiatives in light of the Company’s tremendous long-term potential.

VOTING AND PROXY PROCEDURES

Only stockholders of record on the Record Date will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share. Stockholders who sell shares of Common Stock before the Record Date (or acquire them without voting rights after the Record Date) may not vote such shares of Common Stock.

Shares of Common Stock represented by properly executed GOLD proxy cards will be voted at the Special Meeting as marked and, in the absence of specific instructions, will be voted AGAINST the Charter Amendment Proposal, AGAINST the Issuance Proposal, AGAINST the Omnibus Amendment Proposal and AGAINST the Adjournment Proposal, and, in the discretion of the persons named as proxies, on all other matters as may properly come before the Special Meeting.

QUORUM; BROKER NON-VOTES; DISCRETIONARY VOTING

According to the Company’s proxy statement, the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting was August 25, 2021. According to the Company’s proxy statement, as of the Record Date, there were 2,190,599 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

A quorum is the minimum number of shares of Common Stock that must be represented at a duly called meeting in person or by proxy in order to legally conduct business at the meeting. According to the Company’s proxy statement the presence, in person or represented by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote on the Record Date will constitute a quorum. Proxies received but marked as abstentions will be included in the calculation of the number of shares considered to be present virtually at the Special Meeting for purposes of the quorum determination.

If you hold shares of Common Stock in “street name” through a broker, bank, or other nominee, you should refer to the proxy card or the information forwarded by such broker, bank or other nominee to see what voting options are available to you. Without your specific instruction, a broker, bank or other nominee may only vote your shares on “routine” proposals and may not vote your shares on “non-routine” matters. It is expected that the Proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting will be considered “non-routine” proposals. According to the Company’s proxy statement, if you hold your shares of Common Stock in “street name” and you do not provide voting instructions, your shares of Common Stock will not be treated as present at the Special Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum and will have the same effect as a vote “against” the Charter Amendment Proposal, but shall be of no effect with respect to the Issuance Proposal, the Omnibus Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

VOTES REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL

Approval of the Issuance Proposal: According to the Company’s proxy statement, the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date present (in person or by proxy) at the Special Meeting is required to approve the Issuance Proposal. According to the Company’s proxy statement, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “against” and broker non-votes will have no effect on the approval of the Issuance Proposal.

Approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal: According to the Company’s proxy statement, the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of all outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date (in person or by proxy) is required to approve the Charter Amendment Proposal. According to the Company’s proxy statement, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote “against” the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal.

11

 

Approval of the Omnibus Amendment Proposal: According to the Company’s proxy statement, the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date present (in person or by proxy) at the Special Meeting is required to approve the Omnibus Amendment Proposal. According to the Company’s proxy statement, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “against” and broker non-votes will have no effect on the approval of the Omnibus Amendment Proposal.

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary): According to the Company’s proxy statement, the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date present (in person or by proxy) at the Special Meeting is required to approve the Adjournment Proposal. According to the Company’s proxy statement, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “against” and broker non-votes will have no effect on the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.

REVOCATION OF PROXIES

Stockholders of the Company may revoke their proxies at any time prior to exercise by attending the Special Meeting and voting virtually (although attendance at the Special Meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation of a proxy) or by delivering a written notice of revocation. The delivery of a subsequently dated proxy which is properly completed will constitute a revocation of any earlier proxy. The revocation may be delivered either to Ortelius in care of Okapi at 1212 Avenue of the Americas, 24th Floor, New York, NY 10036, or to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at Capital Senior Living Corporation, 14160 Dallas Parkway, Suite 300, Dallas, TX 75254, or any other address provided by the Company. Although a revocation is effective if delivered to the Company, we request that either the original or photostatic copies of all revocations be mailed to Ortelius in care of Okapi at the address set forth above so that we will be aware of all revocations and can more accurately determine if and when proxies have been received from the holders of record on the Record Date of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Additionally, Okapi may use this information to contact stockholders who have revoked their proxies in order to solicit later dated proxies against the Proposals.

The solicitation of proxies pursuant to this Proxy Statement is being made by Ortelius. Solicitations may also be made by certain of the respective directors, officers, members and employees of Ortelius, none of whom will receive additional compensation for such solicitation. Proxies may be solicited by mail, facsimile, telephone, Internet, in person and by advertisements.

OA has retained Okapi for solicitation and advisory services in connection with this solicitation, for which Okapi will receive a fee not to exceed $200,000, together with reimbursement for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, and will be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses, including certain liabilities under the federal securities laws. Okapi will solicit proxies from individuals, brokers, banks, bank nominees and other institutional holders. It is anticipated that Okapi will employ approximately 25 persons to solicit stockholders for the Special Meeting. Arrangements will also be made with custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for forwarding proxy solicitation materials to beneficial owners of Common Stock held as of the Record Date. Ortelius will reimburse such custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred in connection herewith.

The entire expense of soliciting proxies is being borne by Ortelius. Costs of this solicitation of proxies are currently estimated to be approximately $675,000 (including, but not limited to, fees for attorneys, solicitors and other advisors, and other costs incidental to the solicitation). The actual amount could be higher or lower depending on the facts and circumstances arising in connection with the solicitation.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

As discussed in the Company’s proxy statement relating to their 2020 annual meeting of stockholders, the deadline to submit stockholder proposals to be included in the Company’s proxy statement for its 2021 annual meeting of stockholders has passed, as such proposals had to have been received by the Company at the Company’s principal executive offices on or before March 8, 2021.

As discussed in the Company’s proxy statement, the Charter establishes an advance notice procedure with regard to certain matters, including stockholder proposals and nominations of individuals for election to the Board, to be proposed at an annual meeting of stockholders. Notice of a stockholder proposal or a director nomination to be brought at an annual meeting of stockholders must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the Company’s principal executive offices not less than 60 but not more than 90 days before the scheduled date of the meeting, regardless of any postponement, deferral or adjournment of that meeting to a later date; provided, however, that if less than 70 days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, the notice must be delivered or received no later than the close of business on the tenth day following the earlier of (1) the day on which such notice of the date of meeting was mailed or (2) the day on which such public disclosure was made. The notice of a stockholder proposal or a director nomination must also contain specified information and conform to certain requirements set forth in the Charter. According to the Company’s proxy statement, the chairman of the meeting may disregard the introduction of any such proposal or nomination if it is not made in compliance with the foregoing procedures or the applicable provisions of the Charter.

The information set forth above regarding the procedures for submitting stockholder proposals for consideration at the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders is based on information contained in the Company’s proxy statement, and the Charter and the Bylaws. The incorporation of this information in this Proxy Statement should not be construed as an admission by Ortelius that such procedures are legal, valid or binding.

OTHER MATTERS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Some banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may be participating in the practice of “householding” proxy statements and annual reports. This means that only one copy of this Proxy Statement may have been sent to multiple stockholders in your household. Ortelius will promptly deliver a separate copy of the document to you if you write to our proxy solicitor, Okapi Partners LLC, at the following address or phone number: 1212 Avenue of the Americas, 24th Floor, New York, NY 10036, or call toll free at (855) 208-8901. If you want to receive separate copies of our proxy materials in the future, or if you are receiving multiple copies and would like to receive only one copy for your household, you should contact your bank, broker or other nominee record holder, or you may contact our proxy solicitor at the above address and phone number.

Ortelius is unaware of any other matters to be considered at the Special Meeting. However, should other matters, which Ortelius is not aware of a reasonable time before this solicitation, be brought before the Special Meeting, the persons named as proxies on the enclosed GOLD proxy card will vote on such matters in their discretion.

Ortelius has omitted from this Proxy Statement certain disclosure required by applicable law that is included in the Company’s proxy statement. This disclosure includes, among other things, detailed information relating to the background, reasons for and terms of the Transactions, including any consequences if the Transactions do not close, and any interest of officers and directors of CSU in the Transactions.
