Citizenship

See Item 2(a) above.

The Common Shares were acquired with approximately $2.2 million of working capital set aside by TCP and TCPI for the general purpose of investing. TCP and TCPI maintain commingled margin accounts with various financial institutions, which may extend margin credit to TCP and TCPI as and when required, to open or carry positions in the margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and credit policies. In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the accounts. The margin accounts may from time to time have debit balances. Since multiple different securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Common Shares reported herein.

The Reporting Persons purchased the Common Shares reported hereunder for investment purposes, and such purchases were made in the Reporting Persons' ordinary course of business. As with their other investments, the Reporting Persons continuously evaluate the Issuer, including but not limited to its businesses, results of operations, and prospects. The Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with the Issuer and its representatives and may seek to enter into a confidentiality agreement with the Issuer, and such discussions may include negotiations with the Issuer in respect to an acquisition proposal. There can be no certainty as to whether discussions will occur, or, if they do, the outcome of such discussions. The Reporting Persons will continue to closely monitor the Issuer's operations, prospects, business development, management, competitive and strategic matters, capital structure, and prevailing market conditions, as well as other economic, securities markets and investment considerations. Consistent with their investment research methods and evaluation criteria, the Reporting Persons may discuss such matters with the management or Board of Directors of the Issuer. Such evaluations and discussions may materially affect, and result in, among other things, the Reporting Persons: (1) modifying their ownership of the Common Shares, including selling part or all of the Common Shares beneficially held by the Reporting Persons; (2) exchanging information with the Issuer pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements; (3) proposing changes in the Issuer's operations, governance or capitalization; or (4) pursuing one or more of the other actions described in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D. In addition to the information disclosed in this Statement, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to: (1) formulate plans and proposals; (2) take any actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer, including any or all of the actions set forth in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D; and (3) subject to applicable law and regulation, acquire additional Common Shares or dispose of some or all of the Common Shares beneficially owned by them, in each case in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
