Explanation of Responses: |
1. The four reported transactions involved an amendment of two outstanding options (by extension of their expiration dates), resulting in the deemed cancellation of the two "old" options and the grant of two replacement options. The option expiration dates were amended under the following circumstances: under the Issuer's 2001 Employee Stock Option Plan, the Estate of Edwin H. Wegman was required to exercise all options held by the estate by midnight on August 16, 2007 because all options expire 6 months from the death of the option holder. At the request of the Estate of Edwin H. Wegman, on July 30, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Issuer extended the expiration dates of the two options from August 16, 2007 to their original expiration dates, September 29, 2012 and January 22, 2011, respectively. The deemed cancellation of the two "old" options and the grant of two replacement options are reported in this form. |
