Cotter, Sr., but the Trust became irrevocable upon the death of Mr. James J. Cotter, Sr. on September 13, 2014. The Trust serves as a vehicle for the management and distribution of the assets of Mr. James J.

The Class B Voting Common Stock is held for the benefit of Mr. James J. Cotter, Sr.&#8217;s grandchildren. The extent of any pecuniary interest in any Class B Voting Common Stock owned by the Trust attributable to Ms. Margaret Cotter and Ms. Ellen Cotter as co-trustees of the Trust is dependent upon the outcome of the Trust Litigation.</font></div>
