As a result of the dispositions from September 1, 2020 through October 23, 2020 by the Reporting Persons as described in Item 5(c), the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Issuer’s Common Stock, and this Amendment constitutes an "exit filing" for the Reporting Persons.

Following the effectiveness of the retirements from the Company of each of William A. “Kip” Tindell, III and Sharon Tindell and prior to the date hereof, William A. “Kip” Tindell, III and Sharon Tindell consolidated the accounts in which they previously held their respective accounts separately into a joint account.
