CAC and CPCU (collectively, the "Companies") and Thomas R. Casten, Richard E. Kessel, Michael Weiser and Eugene E. Murphy (collectively., the "Management Stockholders") may be deemed to have formed a group as a result of the Stockholders Agreement dated as of August 10, 1994, entered into among these parties, pursuant to which the Companies could direct the voting of the Management Stockholders in certain circumstances. The voting obligations of the Management Stockholders under the Stockholders Agreement expired on August 10, 1997. Accordingly, the Management Stockholders' shares (1,515,745) are no longer beneficially owned by the Companies. Item 4. Material to be Filed as Exhibits None.
