(Reeg Medical), the Reporting Person entered into a Voting Agreement dated as of December 19, 2016 (the Voting Agreement), by and among the Issuer, the Reporting Person, Reeg Medical, NC 143, and Robert Donehew (Donehew, and collectively with Reeg Medical, NC 143, and the Reporting Person, the Voting Group), pursuant to which each member of the Voting Group, in their capacities as stockholders of the Issuer, agreed, among other things, to vote all securities of the Issuer owned by it, or over which such stockholder has voting control, to cause the size of the board of directors of the Issuer (the Board) to be increased to five members, and to cause three persons designated by Reeg Medical and NC 143 and two persons designated by the Reporting Person and Donehew to be elected as directors of the Issuer. The Voting Agreement has a term ending on June 15, 2017, subject to earlier termination in certain circumstances. Thus, the Reporting Person has agreed to act in concert with NC 143 and its controlling person, Mark W.
