Item 5.

Items 5(a)-(c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

 

The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by the Reporting Persons is based upon 206,864 Shares outstanding, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as of August 5, 2020, as reported in the Issuer’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 10, 2020.

 

As of the close of business on August 17, 2020, (i) the Lion Fund I owned directly 36,571.7 Shares, constituting approximately 17.7% of the Shares outstanding; (ii) the Lion Fund II owned directly 74,589 Shares, constituting approximately 36.1% of the Shares outstanding; (iii) BCC owned directly 25,663.1 Shares, and by virtue of its relationship with each of the Lion Fund I and the Lion Fund II, BCC may be deemed to beneficially own the 36,571.7 Shares owned directly by the Lion Fund I and the 74,589 Shares owned directly by the Lion Fund II, constituting approximately 66.1% of the Shares outstanding; and (iv) Mr. Biglari owned directly 0.1 Shares, and by virtue of his relationship with the other Reporting Persons, Mr. Biglari may be deemed to beneficially own, and have the sole power to vote and dispose of, the 36,571.7 Shares owned directly by the Lion Fund I, the 74,589 Shares owned directly by the Lion Fund II and the 25,663.1 Shares owned directly by BCC, constituting approximately 66.1% of the Shares outstanding.

 

Schedule A annexed hereto lists all transactions in securities of the Issuer by the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days. All of such transactions were effected in the open market, unless otherwise noted.
