Explanation of Responses: |
1. The Reporting Persons beneficially own in the aggregate 5,431,498 shares of Common Stock, which represent approximately 58.5% of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock. Fundamental Global GP, LLC may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock that are directly owned by Fundamental Activist Fund I, LP ("FAFI") and FGI 1347 Holdings, LP ("FGIH"). Mr. Cerminara holds 16,925 shares of Common Stock and restricted stock units representing the right to receive 29,716 shares of Common Stock upon vesting. |
2. The 628,875 shares of Common Stock and 8,973 shares of Preferred Stock, as previously reported by Fundamental Global Partners Master Fund, LP ("FGPM"), were transferred to FAFI. FGPM is in the process of being dissolved, and the transfer did not result in a change in beneficial ownership because both funds shared a common investment manager. |
3. The Reporting Persons beneficially own in the aggregate 8,973 shares of Preferred Stock. Fundamental Global GP, LLC may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the shares of Preferred Stock that are directly owned by FAFI. In addition, Mr. Cerminara owns 44 shares of Preferred Stock in a joint account with his spouse. |
4. Due to their positions with Fundamental Global GP, LLC and affiliated entities, Messrs. Cerminara and Joseph H. Moglia may be deemed to be beneficial owners of the shares of Common Stock disclosed as directly owned by FAFI and FGIH and the shares of Preferred Stock disclosed as directly owned by FAFI.
