Explanation of Responses: |
1. On December 20, 2023, the Reporting Person withdrew 722,367 shares of the Issuer's 8.0% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares") from the Malone December 2022 QRTEP grantor retained annuity trust that was established for his benefit in exchange for a promissory note. This resulted in a decrease in the number of Preferred Shares the Reporting Person beneficially owned indirectly through the trust to zero and a corresponding increase in the number of Preferred Shares the Reporting Person beneficially owns directly. The Reporting Person believes that his withdrawal of the Preferred Shares from the trust constitutes a change in form of beneficial ownership of the shares, exempted by Rule 16a-13 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. |
2. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares held by the Leslie A. Malone 1995 Revocable Trust. |
3. Includes 110,300 QRTEP shares held by a grantor trust of which Mrs. Malone is the grantor and Mr. Malone is the sole trustee. Mrs. Malone retains a power of substitution and Mr. Malone has a power of appointment over the assets in the trust. |
