(1) Pursuant to a Schedule 13D filed on January 25, 2016 (as amended on August 24, 2017, December 18, 2017, July 17, 2018 and November 27, 2018) (as further amended from time to time, the "Schedule 13D"), (i) Piton Capital Partners LLC ("Piton"), Cornice Fiduciary Management LLC (as trustee of the Trust (as defined in the Schedule 13D)) and M3C Holdings LLC (collectively, the "Kokino Family Clients"), (ii) Mr. Averick, and (iii) OIH LLC also report beneficial ownership of shares of the Issuer's $.01 par value common stock ("Common Stock").
(2) Indicates 2,250,000 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Kokino Family Clients. Mr. Averick is a Portfolio Manager at Kokino LLC ("Kokino"). Mr. Averick manages the Kokino Family Clients' investment in the Issuer as Kokino's Portfolio Manager. Mr. Averick holds an indirect interest in certain shares of Common Stock through his minority ownership of Piton, which is one of the Kokino Family Clients (which ownership may be held through Piton's managing member, Piton Capital Management LLC ("PCM")). Also, Mr. Averick's incentive compensation/allocation as an employee of Kokino and member of Piton, which are generally calculated in Kokino's discretion, may be based on the performance of the shares of Common Stock held by the Kokino Family Clients. Such compensation/allocation may be paid or made in cash and/or by way of increasing Mr. Averick's interest in Piton (either directly or indirectly through PCM). Kokino is the managing member of PCM.
(3) The reported price in Column 4 is a weighted average price rounded to the nearest hundredth. The shares purchased on February 10, 2020 were purchased in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $5.19 to $5.61 per share. The shares purchased on February 11, 2020 were purchased in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $5.27 to $5.316 per share. Mr. Averick undertakes to provide to the Issuer, any security holder of the Issuer, or to the staff of the SEC, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares purchased at each separate price within the range set forth in this footnote.
