Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 under the Act, State Farm expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company held by HHC and Markel that are subject to the voting agreement under the Investor Rights Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed an admission by State Farm as to the beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock or other securities.
