Purpose of the Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On August 11, 2015, SIT entered into a Purchase Agreement with Samstock/SZRT, L.L.C.

Under the Purchase Agreement, Closing is expressly conditioned on the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (“HSR Act”). On August 12, 2015, SZRT filed a Notification and Report Form under the HSR Act with respect to SZRT’s contemplated acquisition of the 1,850,000 Shares from SIT pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Under the Purchase Agreement, Closing shall occur as soon as reasonably practical after expiration or termination of the HSR Act waiting period.

SZRT is a Delaware limited liability company whose sole member is the Samuel Zell Revocable Trust (the “Samuel Zell Trust”). Samuel Zell is the trustee and beneficiary of the Samuel Zell Trust.

The Proposed Sale is part of SIT’s and the Samuel Zell Trust’s respective ongoing portfolio management, and Samuel Zell’s and the Samuel Zell Trust’s respective investment planning, and does not reflect an adverse change in the Reporting Persons’ views on the prospects of the Issuer, or its businesses, management or directors. The Proposed Sale does not contemplate the disposition or acquisition of any Shares, or of the right to receive dividends or proceeds from the sale of any Shares, other than among Samuel Zell and certain entities and trusts established for the benefit of Samuel Zell and/or members of his family.
