        <footnote id="F1">These shares were acquired pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated August 8, 2017 (the &quot;Merger Agreement&quot;), by and among the Reporting Person, Redhawk Acquisition Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person (&quot;Purchaser&quot;), and the Issuer. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Reporting Person acquired all of the outstanding shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock, par value $0.10, and Class B common stock, par value $0.10, in a two-step transaction involving, first, the completion  of a tender offer by the Reporting Person and Purchaser (the &quot;Tender Offer&quot;), and, second, a back-end merger for 100% ownership pursuant to which Purchaser merged with and into the Issuer and the Reporting Person acquired all of the outstanding shares of the Issuer that were not acquired by Purchaser in the Tender Offer.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Upon the completion of the tender offer described above in footnote 1, all of the Issuer's outstanding Class B common stock, par value $0.10, converted into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Upon the merger of the Purchaser with and into the Issuer, all of the outstanding shares of Issuer's Class A common stock were canceled and the Issuer became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person.</footnote>
