The Swap Agreements provide Lion Point with economic results that are comparable to the economic results of ownership but do not provide it with the power to vote or direct the voting or dispose of or direct the disposition of the Shares that are the subject of the Swap Agreements (such shares, the “Subject Shares”). Taking into account the Subject Shares, Lion Point has economic exposure to an aggregate of 3,273,883 Shares, representing approximately 8.5% of the outstanding Shares. The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of the Subject Shares.
