2. Includes shares received as a pro rata distribution from CHLLC. In prior reports, the Reporting Person reported indirect beneficial ownership of such common shares previously held by CHLLC.
3. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of the securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
4. Includes shares distributed to the Reporting Person and his spouse by CHLLC in respect of the Reporting Person's pecuniary interest therein. CHLLC also distributed the Issuer's common shares to non-controlling persons of the Issuer who are not subject to the provisions of Section 16.
5. Shares were previously held indirectly through Columbus Holding LLC, of which the Reporting Person has a controlling interest. Accordingly, the Reporting Person may have been deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of the securities owned by CHLLC.
