Exercises and sales under the plan are scheduled to begin on August 30, 2016, and the plan is scheduled to terminate no later than March 6, 2017. Mr. Campisi established his 10b5-1 Plan for tax and financial planning purposes.

Exercises and sales under the plan are scheduled to begin on August 30, 2016, and the plan is scheduled to terminate no later than March 3, 2017.
