IDES CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LP

__________, 2016

Dear Fellow Stockholder:

This proxy statement and the enclosed [GOLD] proxy card are being furnished to stockholders of Boingo Wireless, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), as of the close of business on the Record Date (as defined below), in connection with the solicitation of proxies by Ides Capital Management LP, Ides Capital Opportunities Fund, LP, Ides Capital Advisors LLC, Ides Capital Partners LP, Ides Capital GP LLC (collectively, the "Ides Entities"), Dianne McKeever, Robert Longnecker, Karen Finerman and Bradley Stewart (together with the Ides Entities, "Ides" or "we"). As of the date hereof, Ides, collectively, beneficially own a total of 153,577 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value (the "Common Stock") of the Company, which represents approximately [     ]% of the shares outstanding[ as of record date]. For the reasons set forth in the attached Proxy Statement, we are seeking the election of the Nominees to the Board of Directors (the "Board") because we have little faith that the Board, as currently composed, will adequately address the serious issues facing the Company. Therefore, we are seeking your support for the election of our two  highly qualified nominees at the annual meeting of stockholders scheduled to be held on June __, 2016, at _:__ _.M., local time, at ______________________________ (including any adjournments or postponements thereof and any meeting which may be called in lieu thereof, the "Annual Meeting").

Ides believes that electing new directors who have no prior affiliation with the Company would refresh the Board with differentiated experience and new perspectives to advocate for the interests of stockholders and to further compel management to address the decline in financial, operational and governance performance as summarized below. We believe that Ms. Finerman and Mr. Stewart will bring diversity, independence, experience and fresh insight to the process of creating stockholder value at the Company.

Accordingly, we are seeking your support for the following at the Annual Meeting:

1.

To elect Ides' two director nominees, Karen Finerman and Bradley Stewart (collectively, the "Nominees") to the Board in opposition to the Company's two Class II director nominees, to serve as Class II directors until the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders;

2.

To ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016; and

3.

To conduct any other business properly brought before the meeting.

The Company has a classified Board, which is currently divided into three classes. The terms of the two Class II directors expire at the Annual Meeting. We now ask for your support at the Annual Meeting to elect our two highly qualified Nominees in opposition to the Company's two Class II director nominees to serve until the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders. Your vote to elect our Nominees will have the legal effect of replacing two incumbent directors with our Nominees. If elected, our Nominees will constitute a minority on the Board and there can be no guarantee that our Nominees will be able to implement the actions that they believe are necessary to unlock stockholder value. However, we believe the election of our Nominees is an important step in the right direction for enhancing long-term value and improving corporate governance at the Company.

We urge you to consider carefully 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 April __, 2016.

If you have already submitted a proxy in relation to the Annual Meeting, you have every right to revoke or change the voting instructions set out therein by signing, dating and returning a later dated [GOLD] proxy card or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting. We encourage you to do so.

If you have any questions or require any assistance with your vote, please contact Okapi Partners LLC, which is assisting us, at their address and toll-free numbers listed on the following page.

Thank you for your support.

Ides Capital Management LP

PROXY STATEMENT

OF

IDES CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LP

---------------------------

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

Ides Capital Management LP, together with Ides Capital Opportunities Fund, LP, Ides Capital Advisors LLC, Ides Capital Partners LP, Ides Capital GP LLC (collectively, the "Ides Entities"), and Dianne McKeever, Robert Longnecker, Karen Finerman and Bradley Stewart (together with the Ides Entities, "Ides" or "we") own a total of 153,577 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value (the "Common Stock") of Boingo Wireless, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), which represents approximately [     ]% of the shares outstanding[ as of the record date]. We are writing to you because we have little confidence that the Board of Directors (the "Board"), as currently composed, will adequately address the Company's declining stock price performance and resulting loss in stockholder value, poor operating record, mounting operating losses and declining returns on capital deployed, lack of transparency and weak corporate governance practices. The Board and management have had what we believe is ample time to address these concerns over many years and, in our view, have failed to do so. We have nominated two highly qualified, capable and committed individuals who have the relevant skill sets we believe are key to reversing what we see as the Company's chronic underperformance and to unlocking the Company's inherent value. We are seeking your support and your vote at the annual meeting of stockholders scheduled to be held on _____ __, 2016, at _:__ _.M., local time, at ______________________________ (including any adjournments or postponements thereof and any meeting which may be called in lieu thereof, the "Annual Meeting"), for the following:

1.

To elect Ides' two director nominees, Karen Finerman and Bradley Stewart (collectively, the "Nominees") to the Board in opposition to the Company's two Class II director nominees, to serve as Class II directors until the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders;

2.

To ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016; and

3.

To conduct any other business properly brought before the meeting.

The Company has a classified Board, which is currently divided into three classes. The terms of two Class II directors expire at the Annual Meeting. We are seeking your support at the Annual Meeting to elect our two highly qualified Nominees in opposition to the Company's two Class II director nominees to serve until the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders. Your vote to elect our Nominees will have the legal effect of replacing two incumbent directors with our Nominees. If elected, our Nominees will constitute a minority on the Board and there can be no guarantee that our Nominees will be able to implement the actions that they believe are necessary to unlock stockholder value. However, we believe the election of our Nominees is an important step in the right direction for enhancing long-term value at the Company.

This Proxy Statement and the enclosed [GOLD] proxy card are first being furnished to stockholders on or about [   ], 2016.

As of the date hereof, Ides collectively owns an aggregate of [] shares of Common Stock. We intend to vote such shares of Common Stock FOR the election of our Nominees and FOR the ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.

The Board has fixed April [      ], 2016 as the record date for determining holders of Common Stock who are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting (the "Record Date"). According to the Company, as of the Record Date the Company had approximately [             ] shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to be voted. Each share of Common Stock entitles the record holder to one vote on each matter to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting. The mailing address of the principal executive offices of the Company is 10960 Wilshire Blvd, 23rd Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90024. Stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

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

IDES URGES YOU TO SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE [GOLD] PROXY CARD IN FAVOR OF THE ELECTION OF OUR NOMINEES.

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SENT A PROXY CARD FURNISHED BY COMPANY MANAGEMENT OR THE BOARD, YOU MAY REVOKE THAT PROXY AND VOTE ON EACH OF THE PROPOSALS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT BY SIGNING, DATING AND RETURNING THE ENCLOSED [GOLD] PROXY CARD. WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO SO. THE LATEST DATED PROXY IS THE ONLY ONE THAT COUNTS.

BACKGROUND TO THE SOLICITATION

A chronology of our interactions with the Company is as follows:

 

 

REASONS FOR THE SOLICITATION

Ides Capital Management LP ("Ides Capital") is a New York-based investment advisor focused on small and mid-capitalization public companies that are deeply undervalued and provide a margin of safety. Ides Capital seeks to constructively engage with management teams and corporate boards to improve corporate governance practices and to implement positive changes that drive long-term value to the benefit of all stockholders. For the reasons summarized below, on March 17. 2016, Ides nominated two highly qualified, independent candidates for election to the Company's Board at the Annual Meeting – Karen Finerman and Bradley Stewart. We urgently seek your support for our Nominees.

Ides is committed to maximizing value for all stockholders, and is asking you to elect our independent nominees to the Board as a means of effecting positive change. Ides has little confidence that the Board, as currently composed, will adequately address the following serious issues that face the Company:

·	Declining stock price performance and resulting loss in stockholder value;

·	Poor operating record, mounting losses from operations and declining returns on capital deployed;

·	Lack of transparency; and

·	Weak corporate governance practices, as judged by independent advisory services.

The Board has had what we believe to be ample time to address these concerns and, in our view, has failed to do so successfully. If elected, our nominees, who would represent a minority on the Board, would seek to work with the other Board members on behalf of all stockholders to address the Company's long-term history of underperformance and unlock value at the Company.

The Company's Stock Price Is Down 43% Since Its Initial Public Offering and Has Underperformed the Indices Chosen by the Company

In our opinion, stock price is the most clear, objective measure of the market's judgment of a public company's performance over a long period of time. In absolute terms, the Company's share price has declined 43% over the nearly five years since its May 2011 initial public offering as well as 9% over the last year.

The Company's stock price has also underperformed relative to relevant market indices.  In comparison to, for example, the NASDAQ Market Index, which is one of the indices the Company compares itself to in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company's share price has underperformed as follows over the following timeframes:

Time Period (*)	Boingo Performance	Index Performance			Boingo Performance vs. Index
		Nasdaq	Russell 2000	S&P 500	Nasdaq	Russell 2000	S&P 500
May 2011	-43%	74%	34%	54%	-118%	-77%	-97%
June 17, 2013	19%	43%	14%	27%	-24%	5%	-8%
LTM	-9%	-1%	-11%	-1%	-8%	1%	-9%

Despite growing revenues since the 2011 initial public offering, the Company has experienced a loss from operations in each of 2013, 2014 and 2015. These repetitive losses have grown larger each year, worsening from $1.9 million in 2013 to $18.0 million in 2014 to $21.6 million in 2105.

In addition, in recent years, the Company has spent a substantial amount of capital to increase assets, with total assets increasing from $214 million at year end 2013 to $219 million at year end 2014 to $341 million at year end 2015. Ides is deeply concerned that EBITDA has not increased in a commensurate fashion, with Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of total assets, a measure of return on capital, declining from 11.1% in 2013 to 9.3% in 2014 to 8.7% in 2015.  Ides must resort to the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of total assets to measure returns on capital because the Company's sustained operating losses from operations and net losses to stockholders render irrelevant more traditional metrics such as return on equity.  Note that Ides believes that the Company's Adjusted EBITDA calculation methodology of adding back stock-based compensation expense, which Ides views as a real expense to stockholders, overstates EBITDA. However, in order to avoid a debate over accounting principles, Ides uses the Company's Adjusted EBITDA calculation.

Ides is Concerned by the Lack of Business Line Transparency at the Company

The Company reports revenue information for five separate business lines—Distributed Antenna Systems ("DAS"), Retail, Wholesale-Wi-Fi, Military and Advertising and Other—but does not provide additional disclosure for these business lines beyond the revenue line disclosure.  Each of the businesses likely has very different profitability profiles and without additional information such as gross margin or (loss)/income from operations for each business line, it is difficult for stockholders to assess the value and contribution of each business line. Additionally, without information on total assets in each segment, it is difficult for the market to assess the returns on capital deployed by each business line, which is particularly important given the large capital deployment decisions being made by management and the Board. Given the significant stock price underperformance, Ides believes that stockholders have a right to increased disclosure to better assess how their capital is being deployed.

We are Disappointed by the Company's Corporate Governance Practices

Ides notes with deep concern the most recent QuickScore rating issued to the Company by Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS"), a highly regarded proxy advisory firm. On March 15, 2016, ISS assigned to the Company a new, and deteriorated, QuickScore of 7 (on a scale where 10 represents the highest possible governance risk). Disturbingly, the March 15, 2016 QuickScore worsened from the previous score of 6, a decline that is, according to the ISS  report, attributable to a recent negative change in the relative cost of a Compensation practice. The ISS QuickScore report additionally assigned "Red Flags" to seventeen governance subcategories within the broader Board Structure, Compensation and Shareholder Rights Pillars, indicating that "the total number of points in" the subcategories receiving Red Flags "is at the bottom of the possible range."

Ides is also deeply concerned by the 2015 Proxy Paper issued by Glass Lewis, a leading independent provider of global governance services, which most recently assigned to the Company a "C" grade on its Executive Compensation Structure. In its review of an amendment to the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, Glass Lewis noted, independently, and amongst many other concerns, that "the Company has been granting equity awards at a brisk pace and one that does not satisfy us that stockholder interests are being carefully considered."

Ides Nominees have the Experience and Qualifications to Encourage Change and Drive Stockholder Value at the Company

Ides believes that electing new Directors who have no prior affiliation with the Company would refresh the Board with differentiated experience and new perspectives to advocate for the interests of stockholders generally and to further compel management to address the decline in financial, operational and governance performance as summarized above. We believe that Ms. Finerman and Mr. Stewart will bring diversity, greater independence because they did not oversee the Company's past performance, complimentary experience and fresh insight to the process of creating stockholder value at the Company unencumbered by existing social bonds with incumbent directors.

The role of a public company board is to set policies and strategies and provide effective oversight to the management team as they execute and implement the Company's agreed upon business plan. We believe that the Company's current Board has fallen short in its oversight of the Company. We further believe that these shortcomings can be addressed in part by electing new and diverse directors to the Board.  Since we are nominating only two Director candidates, we will not be in a position to effect any action without the support of at least two more of the incumbent members of the Board. If elected, Ms. Finerman and Mr. Stewart will work through an open-minded and deliberative process as a force for positive change, in collaboration with the other directors to realize value for stockholders over both the short- and long-term. Finally, and importantly, the Nominees have no relationship with Ides, financial or otherwise, that would affect their ability to fulfill their fiduciary duties to stockholders.

Karen Finerman. Ms. Finerman is the co-founder of Metropolitan Capital Advisors, a New York-based investment management firm ("MCA"), and previously served as MCA's CEO. Previously, she was the Lead Research Analyst for the Risk Arbitrage department at DLJ Securities Corp. She serves as a permanent panelist on CNBC's Fast Money. Ms. Finerman holds a B.S. in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. Ms. Finerman previously served as a director of GrafTech International Ltd. (formerly NYSE: GTI) from June 2014 through August 2015. Ides believes that Ms. Finerman's nearly 25 years of experience as head of an investment firm with interests in a broad range of industries will make her a valuable addition to the Board.

Bradley Stewart. Mr. Stewart is CEO and a member of the Board of Directors of XOJET, a leading private aviation services company. He also serves as a Senior Advisor to TPG Growth, the middle market and growth equity investment platform of TPG. Previously, Mr. Stewart served as a Vice President at Parthenon Capital Partners, a private equity firm, and as a management consultant at McKinsey & Company. Mr. Stewart holds a B.S.B. in Corporate Finance from the University of Minnesota and an M.B.A. from Columbia University. Ides believes that Mr. Stewart's management experience and financial and operations expertise will make him a valuable addition to the Board.

PROPOSAL NO.1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board is currently comprised of six directors divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. There are currently two directors in Class I, two directors in Class II and two directors in Class III. The term of office of the Company's Class II directors will expire at the Annual Meeting. The term of office of the Class III directors will expire at the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders and the term of office of the Class I directors will expire at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders. We are seeking your support at the Annual Meeting to elect our highly qualified Nominees in opposition to the Company's two Class II director nominees. Your vote to elect our Nominees will have the legal effect of replacing two incumbent directors of the Company. If elected, our Nominees will represent a minority of the members of the Board and therefore it is not guaranteed that they will have the ability to enhance stockholder value.

Our Nominees:

Karen Finerman, age 51, is the co-founder of Metropolitan Capital Advisors ("MCA"), a New York-based investment management firm founded in July 1992 that utilizes a value-oriented opportunistic approach to maximize investor returns and outperform large cap indices with less risk over a full market cycle, and served as MCA's CEO from January 2012 through December 2015. Prior to co-founding MCA in June 1992, Ms. Finerman was the Lead Research Analyst for the Risk Arbitrage department at DLJ Securities Corp. Ms. Finerman has been named one of the 50 Leading Women in Hedge Funds by The Hedge Fund Journal and identified as one of the 25 Most Powerful Women in Finance by US Banker. She serves as a permanent panelist on CNBC's Fast Money and is the author of the New York Times best-selling book, Finerman's Rules: Secrets I'd Only Tell My Daughters About Business and Life. Ms. Finerman previously served as a director of GrafTech International Ltd. (previously NYSE: GTI) from June 2014 through August 2015. Ms. Finerman holds a B.S. in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. Ides believes that Ms. Finerman's nearly 25 years of experience as head of an investment firm with investments in a broad range of industries will make her a valuable addition to the Board.

Bradley Stewart, age 39, has served as the CEO and a member of the Board of Directors of XOJET, a leading private aviation services company, since February 2013.  He became President of XOJET in July 2011 and joined the company as a senior advisor in February 2010.  He also serves as a Senior Advisor to TPG Growth, the middle market and growth equity investment platform of TPG, the global private investment firm, a position he has held since February 2014. Previously, Mr. Stewart served as a Vice President at Parthenon Capital Partners, a private equity firm, from April 2007 until January 2009 and as a management consultant at McKinsey & Company, from June 2004 until April 2007. Mr. Stewart holds a B.S.B. in Corporate Finance from the University of Minnesota and an M.B.A. from Columbia University. Ides believes that Mr. Stewart's management experience and financial and operations expertise will make him a valuable addition to the Board.

Ms. Finerman and Mr. Stewart are citizens of the United States of America.

The principal business address of Ms. Finerman is 654 Madison Avenue, Suite 801, New York, NY 10065. The principal business address of Mr. Stewart is 2000 Sierra Point Parkway, Suite 200, Brisbane, CA 94005.

Other than as stated herein, there are no arrangements or understandings between the Ides Entities and any of the Nominees or any other person or persons pursuant to which the nomination of the Nominees described herein is to be made, other than the consent by each of the Nominees to be named in this Proxy Statement and to serve as a director of the Company if elected as such at the Annual Meeting. None of the Nominees is a party adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries in any material pending legal proceedings.

Each Nominee presently is, and if elected as a director of the Company, each of the Nominees would, in our view, be, an "independent director" within the meaning of (i) applicable NASDAQ listing standards applicable to board composition, including Rule 5605(a)(2), and (ii) Section 301 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

We do not expect that the Nominees will be unable to stand for election, but, in the event any Nominee is unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, the shares of Common Stock represented by the enclosed [GOLD] proxy card will be voted for substitute nominee(s), to the extent this is not prohibited under the Company's bylaws and applicable law. In addition, we reserve the right to nominate substitute person(s) if the Company makes or announces any changes to its bylaws or takes or announces any other action that has, or if consummated would have, the effect of disqualifying any Nominee, to the extent this is not prohibited under the Company's bylaws and applicable law. In any such case, we would identify and properly nominate such substitute nominee(s) in accordance with the Company's bylaws and shares of Common Stock represented by the enclosed [GOLD] proxy card will be voted for such substitute nominee(s). We reserve the right to nominate additional person(s), to the extent this is not prohibited under the Company's bylaws and applicable law, if the Company increases the size of the Board above its existing size or increases the number of directors whose terms expire at the Annual Meeting or reconstitutes or reconfigures the classes on which the current directors serve. Additional nominations made pursuant to the preceding sentence are without prejudice to the position of Ides that any attempt to increase the size of the current Board or to reconstitute or reconfigure the classes on which the current directors serve constitutes an unlawful manipulation of the Company's corporate machinery.

WE URGE YOU TO VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEES ON THE ENCLOSED [GOLD] PROXY CARD.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Votes that are not returned, withheld or broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election.

Ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016  ─ Stockholders may vote "FOR" or "AGAINST" or abstain from voting. To ratify the selection by the audit committee of the Board of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, the votes cast favoring the proposal must exceed the votes cast opposing the proposal. If a stockholder provides specific voting instructions, his or her shares will be voted as instructed. If a stockholder holds shares in his or her name and returns a properly executed proxy card without giving specific voting instructions, the stockholder's shares will be voted "[ABSTAIN]" ratification of the appointment, as recommended by our Board.

Abstentions and broker non-votes. Abstentions will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. Abstentions will not be considered as votes cast for or against any proposal, and will therefore have no effect on the outcome of the vote. Broker non-votes, as described in the next paragraph, have no effect and will not be counted towards the vote total for any proposal.

If your shares are held by your bank or broker as your nominee (that is, in "street name"), you will need to obtain a voting instruction form from the institution that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct your broker to vote your shares. If you do not give instructions to your broker, your broker can vote your shares with respect to "discretionary" items, but not with respect to "non-discretionary" items. Discretionary items are proposals considered routine under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on which your broker may vote shares held in street name without your voting instructions. On non-discretionary items for which you do not give your broker instructions, the shares will be treated as broker non-votes. Under current NYSE rules, any election of a member of the Board of Directors, whether contested or uncontested, is considered "non-discretionary" and therefore brokers are not permitted to vote your shares held in street name for the election of directors in the absence of instructions from you. The proposal for the election of Class II directors is "non-discretionary" and therefore if you hold your shares through a broker, nominee, fiduciary or other custodian, your shares will not be voted on those proposals unless you provide voting instructions to the record holder. The Company's proxy statement for the Annual Meeting provides that as a result of this proxy statement, the ratification of the appointment of the auditor, which would normally be considered "discretionary" may be considered "non-discretionary" at the Annual Meeting and as a consequence your broker cannot vote your shares with respect to any proposal unless instructions are provided.

To vote, please complete, sign, date and return the enclosed [GOLD] proxy card or, to appoint a proxy over the Internet or by telephone, follow the instructions provided herein. If you attend the Annual Meeting and wish to vote in person, you may withdraw your proxy and vote in person. If your shares of Common Stock are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, as it appears from public information that most shares of Common Stock are, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the holder of record to be able to vote at the Annual Meeting. Ide's proxy solicitors at Okapi Partners LLC can help answer your voting and proxy questions.

Appraisal Rights

Under applicable Delaware law, none of the holders of Common Stock are entitled to appraisal rights in connection with any matter to be acted on at the Annual Meeting.

Revocation of Proxies

Stockholders of the Company may revoke their proxies at any time prior to exercise by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person (although attendance at the Annual 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 Ides in care of Okapi Partners LLC at 1212 Avenue of the Americas, 24th Floor, New York, New York 10036 or to the Company at 10960 Wilshire Blvd, 23rd Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90024, or any other address provided by the Company. Although a revocation is effective if delivered to the Company, Ides requests that either the original or photostatic copies of all revocations be mailed to Ides in care of Okapi Partners LLC at 1212 Avenue of the Americas, 24th Floor, New York, New York 10036. IF YOU WISH TO VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEES TO THE BOARD, PLEASE SIGN, DATE AND RETURN PROMPTLY THE ENCLOSED [GOLD] PROXY CARD IN THE POSTAGE-PAID ENVELOPE PROVIDED.

To ensure that your shares are voted in accordance with your wishes, you should also contact the person responsible for your account and give instructions for a [GOLD] proxy card to be issued representing your shares of Common Stock.
