        <footnote id="F1">The reported securities were held by Fairview Partners, a limited partnership (&quot;Fairview Partners, L.P.&quot;) of which 713 Investment Corp. (subsequently renamed Fairview Investment Corp.) was the sole general partner. Mr. McGonigle and his wife were shareholders and directors of 713 Investment Corp. On May 2, 2016, the reporting person and his wife gifted their entire interest in 713 Investment Corp. to their children, grandchildren and descendants and resigned as shareholders and directors of 713 Investment Corp. Therefore, the reporting person will have no reporting obligation for Fairview Partners, L.P. in subsequent reports.
