(“Valhi”) are the holders of approximately 39.6%, 14.4%, 12.1% and 1.4%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of common stock of the issuer. The ownership of Ms. Simmons is based on the 1,600,000 shares of the issuer's 6 3/4% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series A Preferrred Stock"), that she directly owns, which are convertible into 2,666,666 shares of the issuer’s common stock.
