The reported securities identified in Columns 4 and 5 of Table I include components originally acquired as Units. Each Unit consists of one (1) share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one (1) share of common stock. The securities listed in column 5 of Table I include the common stock component of such Units, as well as common stock separately acquired in open market or private transactions.
Mr. Knott is the managing member of Knott Partners Management, LLC, which is (i) the sole general partner of Shoshone Partners, L.P., Knott Partners Offshore Master Fund, L.P., and Mulsanne Partners, L.P. and (ii) the managing general partner of Knott Partners, L.P. Mr. Knott is also a general partner of Knott Partners, L.P.
The Reporting Person is the sole director and the president of Dorset Management Corporation, which (i) provides investment management services to Knott Partners Offshore (SRI) Fund Limited and (ii) separate institutional managed accounts (each, a "Managed Account").
As a result of Mr. Knott's interests in Knott Partners Management, LLC and in Dorset Management Corporation, Mr. Knott has investment discretion and control of the securities represented in this entry. Mr. Knott may be deemed to beneficially own an indirect pecuniary interest in the securities represented in this entry as a result of a performance-related fee. Except with respect to Knott Partners, L.P., Knott Partners Offshore Master Fund, L.P., and Shoshone Partners, L.P., in which Mr. Knott owns a beneficial interest, Mr. Knott disclaims beneficial ownership therein except to the extent ultimately realized. Each of Knott Partners, L.P., Knott Partners Offshore Master Fund, L.P., Shoshone Partners, L.P., Mulsanne Partners, L.P., Knott Partners Offshore (SRI) Fund Limited, and each of the Managed Accounts disclaims beneficial ownership of securities reported as owned by any other party.
Each entry reports a component of a cross transaction in the shares set forth in column 1 of Table I among the accounts identified in Column 7 of Table I that are coded P or S in Column 3. The cross transactions reported reflect a reallocation of shares among the partnerships and the Reporting Person's Managed Accounts for which there were no net transaction costs, and the accounts that disposed of shares in the cross transaction did not acquire any shares in the cross transaction.
