The reported securities identified in Columns 4 and 5 of Table I and Columns 5 and 9 of Table II represent components of Units. Each Unit consists of one (1) share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one (1) share of common stock. The securities listed in column 5 and column 9 of, respectively, Table I and Table II include the common stock and warrant components of such Units, as well as common stock and warrants acquired in open market transactions.
Mr. Knott is the managing member of Knott Partners Management, LLC, which is (i) the sole general partner of Shoshone Partners, L.P., Knott Partners Offshore Master Fund, L.P., and Mulsanne Partners, L.P. and (ii) the managing general partner of Knott Partners, L.P. Mr. Knott is also a general partner of Knott Partners, L.P.
The securities identified in this row are held by a managed account for which Dorset Management Corporation provides portfolio management services (each, a "Managed Account"). Mr. Knott is the President and sole director of Dorset Management Corporation.
As a result of Mr. Knott's interests in Knott Partners Management, LLC and in Dorset Management Corporation, Mr. Knott has investment discretion and control of the securities represented in this entry. Mr. Knott may be deemed to beneficially own an indirect pecuniary interest in the securities represented in this entry as a result of a performance-related fee. Except with respect to Knott Partners, L.P., Knott Partners Offshore Master Fund, L.P., and Shoshone Partners, L.P., in which Mr. Knott owns a beneficial interest, Mr. Knott disclaims beneficial ownership therein except to the extent ultimately realized. Each of Knott Partners, L.P., Knott Partners Offshore Master Fund, L.P., Shoshone Partners, L.P., Mulsanne Partners, L.P., and each of the Managed Accounts disclaims beneficial ownership of securities reported as owned by any other party.
Each entry reports a component of a cross transaction in the Units described in footnote 1 among the accounts identified in Column 7 of Table I and Column 11 of Table II that are coded P or S in, respectively, Column 3 and Column 4. The cross transactions reported reflect a reallocation of Units among the partnerships and Mr. Knott's managed clients for which there were no net transaction costs, and the partnerships that disposed of Units in the cross transaction did not acquire any Units in the cross transaction.
The common stock and warrants subject to the cross transaction reflected on this Statement included only those comprising components of Units described in footnote 1 and did not include any securities acquired in open market transactions. All transactions were effected at a price of $5.955 per Unit.
