Explanation of Responses: |
1. Because the filing system does not accommodate joint filings by more than 10 persons, this Form 4 constitutes Part 2 of a two-part filing. Part 1 is identical in content but is signed by the remaining joint filers. |
2. These shares are owned directly by Sven Murmann, a director and 10% beneficial owner of the issuer. |
3. These shares are owned directly by Nicola Keim, a director of the issuer. |
4. The filing persons are reporting an intrafamily restructuring. In the first transaction, Sauer Finance Holding GmbH f/k/a Sauer GmbH, a German limited liability company that was at the time a 10% beneficial owner of the issuer ('Sauer GmbH'), distributed all 10,474,000 of its shares of issuer common stock to its 100% parent company, Sauer Holding GmbH, a German limited liability company that is a 10% beneficial owner of the issuer ('Sauer Holding'). |
5. In a second transaction on the same day, Klaus H. Murmann & Co. KG, a German limited partnership ('Murmann KG'), until the transaction the 100% owner of Sauer Holding, distributed all of its membership interests in Sauer Holding to the partners of Murmann KG in proportion to their partnership interests. As a result of differences in the governance structure of Sauer Holding as compared to Murmann KG, Nicola Keim, Ulrike Murmann-Knuth, Jan Murmann, Anja Murmann-Mbappe, Christa Zoellner, and Britta Zoellner can no longer be deemed to be 10% beneficial owners of the issuer. |
6. These shares are owned directly by Sauer Holding. These shares are owned indirectly by Klaus H. Murmann, Hannelore Murmann, and Sven Murmann as members of Sauer Holding who share the power to vote on investment decisions. Hannelore Murmann may be deemed to be a 10% beneficial owner of the issuer. Klaus H. Murmann and Hannelore Murmann each disclaim beneficial ownership of 14,569,743 shares of these securities. Sven Murmann disclaims beneficial ownership of 15,361,990 shares of these securities. This report shall not be deemed an admission that either Klaus H. Murmann or Hannelore Murmann is the beneficial owner of the disclaimed securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose. |
7. As a result of the transactions reported herein, Sauer GmbH and Murmann KG are no longer direct or indirect beneficial owners of any shares of the issuer's securities. |
