Explanation of Responses: |
1. The Reporting Person is an executor and beneficiary of the Estate of Edwin H. Wegman (the "Estate") and is therefore deemed to beneficially own shares of the Issuer's common stock that are held by The S.J. Wegman Company, a New York limited partnership ("SJW"), for the benefit of the Estate as well as shares that are held directly by the Estate. |
2. On January 14, 2008, SJW distributed 618,331 shares of the Issuer's common stock to certain of its limited partners. As of January 14, 2008, the board of directors of the Issuer (the "Board") had voting and dispositive power over the remaining 1,224,997 shares of the Issuer's common stock that are held by SJW. |
3. On February 1, 2008, the Estate simultaneously exercised its options to purchase an aggregate of 139,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock and sold those 139,000 shares as well as 205,114 additional shares to various private investors. Certain of the proceeds of these sales were used to repay a loan owned by the Estate to the Issuer. As a consequence of such repayment, the Board no longer has voting or dispositive power over the 1,224,997 shares held by SJW. |
4. The Reporting Person directly holds an option to purchase 15,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock, which was granted by the Issuer on June 25, 2007. |
