        <footnote id="F1">This transaction is part of a paired group of puts and calls commonly referred to as a &quot;zero cost collar,&quot; which pre-existed the insider status of the reporting person. Accordingly, the calls shown here are deemed short positions, and the puts are deemed long positions. If the collar is undone, the underlying transactions would be acquisitions of calls and sale of puts. On Form 3 the calls, although showing a positive amount are actually short. Therefore, an unwinding of the collar would be reflected on a Form 4 as a sale of the calls (when it was in fact a purchase). The put transactions would be properly reflected on the Form 4 for the unwinding.</footnote>
