(f) Each of the Reporting Persons is a United States citizen.
Item 3.    Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
See Item 4.
Item 4.    Purpose of Transaction.
As previously disclosed, on November 7, 2011, Mrs. Adams and Mr. Baker were appointed by a court order to act as co-conservators of the person and estate of Mr. Adams (the “Conservatorship”). Mrs. Adams is the spouse of Mr. Adams and Mr. Baker is the son-in-law of Mr. Adams. As a result of the appointment, in their capacities as co-conservators for Mr. Adams, Mrs. Adams and Mr. Baker jointly exercise voting power over the shares of Mr. Adams set forth in the table in Item 5 hereof. While Mrs. Adams and Mr. Baker also share dispositive power over certain of Mr. Adams’ shares, disposition of such shares may require court approval in accordance with Mississippi

SCHEDULE 13D
 
CUSIP No. 128030202
Page   8   of  12  Pages



conservatorship laws. The appointment of the conservators occurred by a court order. Accordingly, no consideration was paid by the conservators.
An Amended and Restated Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”), effective June 4, 2018, was entered into among Mrs. Adams and Mr. Baker (individually and as co-conservator of the co-conservatorship of Mr. Adams), and other members of the family (“MOU”). Pursuant thereto, on or after June 5, 2018, the Reporting Persons will enter into several instruments and agreements contemplated by the MOU (“Agreements”) with respect to certain transactions proposed by Mr. Adams and his family to facilitate certain estate planning matters (“Proposed Transactions”). The Proposed Transactions are described in the Issuer’s preliminary proxy statement as filed with the SEC on June 5, 2018 (“Proxy Statement”).
As described in the Proxy Statement, the Proposed Transactions include amendments to and a restatement of the current Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (as so amended and restated, the “Restated Charter”), of the Company, to (i) change the restrictions on who may hold shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, with 10 votes per share, without conversion into Common Stock, with one vote per share, and make certain other change negotiated with a special committee of the Company’s Board of Directors as described in the Proxy Statement, and (ii) update certain provision that are out-of-date, obsolete or inoperative and to correct one typographical error. Mrs. Adams and Mr. Baker intend to vote FOR the proposals to approve such amendments in all of their capacities.
The purpose of the Class A Common Stock Amendment described in the Proxy Statement is to facilitate estate planning for the Company’s founder and Chairman Emeritus, Mr. Adams.    
Pursuant to the Conservatorship, Mr. Baker and Mrs. Adams currently have the exclusive power to vote or direct the voting of shares held by Mr. Adams’ estate. While they also have dispositive power over such shares, disposition of such shares may require court approval in accordance with Mississippi conservatorship laws. Upon the transfers of shares to the trusts and limited liability company as described in the Proxy Statement, the Company will continue to be controlled by Mrs. Adams and Mr. Baker, acting jointly as co-trustees of revocable trusts, through the limited liability company.
Following the death of Mr. Adams and upon the completion of all transactions as contemplated, there will be a change in control of the Company from Mrs. Adams and Mr. Baker, acting jointly, to Mr. Baker, acting individually and as the sole Managing Member of the limited liability company. As a result of the foregoing transactions, Mr. Baker will obtain voting power over 100% of the Class A Common Stock, currently representing 52.3% of the total voting power of the Company’s capital stock (without considering shares of Common Stock over which Mr. Baker will also have voting power due to ownership or other arrangements). Accordingly, following all of the transactions as contemplated, Mr. Baker will have control of a majority of the voting power of the Company through his control over the voting power of all of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock.
The shares reported in this Schedule 13D amendment are as of March 29, 2018 or the latest practicable date and reflect the transfers of shares contemplated by the Proposed Transactions as described in the Proxy Statement prior to the Share Exchange. Although the transfers of shares of Class A Common Stock are subject to shareholder approval, and the filing and effectiveness, of the Restated Charter, which is also subject conditions as described in the Proxy Statement, such Class A Common Stock is reported herein as beneficially owned assuming completion of transactions as described in the Proxy Statement as contemplated.
As previously disclosed, pursuant to a Conservatorship with respect to Mr. Adams, Mr. Baker and Mrs. Adams have the exclusive power to vote or direct the voting of Mr. Adams’ shares. While they also have dispositive power over such shares, disposition of such shares may require court approval in accordance with Mississippi conservatorship laws. As described in the Proxy Statement, the Proposed Transactions include certain transfers of shares of the Company’s Common Stock and Class A Common Stock. Upon the transfers of shares to the trusts and limited liability company as described in the Proxy Statement, the Company will continue to be controlled by Mrs. Adams and Mr. Baker, acting jointly as co-trustees of Mrs. Adams’ Revocable Trust and the Daughters’ Revocable Trust, and through the Daughters’ LLC. Following the death of Mr. Adams and upon the completion of the

SCHEDULE 13D
 
CUSIP No. 128030202
Page   8   of  12  Pages



Proposed Transactions as contemplated, there will be a change in control of the Company from Mrs. Adams and Mr. Baker, acting jointly, to Mr. Baker, acting individually and as the sole Managing Member of the Daughters’ LLC.
Except to the extent disclosed herein, as of the date hereof, other than as noted below, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals that relate to or would result in (a) the acquisition of securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, or other instruments corresponding thereto or other actions that may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing any change in the trading market of any class of securities of the Issuer; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”); or (j) any action similar to any of the matters enumerated above.
The Reporting Persons have in the past and may in the future make gifts of shares of Common Stock to certain charities or family members. In addition, the shares of Common Stock held through the Issuer’s KSOP may be increased and/or subject to annual distributions as required under the terms of the KSOP and applicable law. Mrs. Adams has also indicated that she intends to sell up to 300,000 shares of Common Stock for liquidity and diversification purposes after the special meeting described in the Proxy Statement. As noted above, Mr. Baker is Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer. In the course of performing his duties for the Issuer, Mr. Baker may discuss one or more of the matters enumerated above with the directors of the Issuer or the Issuer’s management or may formulate a plan or proposal relating to one or more of the matters enumerated above.
