(a) and (b) Items 7 through 11 and 13 of each of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference. The ownership percentage appearing on such cover pages has been calculated based on 15,044,739 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding as of November 20, 2019, as reported in the Issuer’s Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on November 25, 2019.

Each of Mr. Hicks, Mr. Carstairs, the Managing Member and the General Partner may also be deemed to beneficially own the Common Stock held by the other Reporting Persons. Each such Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own the Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons directly or indirectly controlled by it or him, but neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person (other than Master Skyway Fund, VIP Offshore, VIP and VCPM and their respective general partners, to the extent they directly hold shares of Common Stock) is the beneficial owner of Common Stock referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or for any other purpose and each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock. The filing of this statement should not be construed to be an admission that any of the Reporting Persons are members of a “group” for the purposes of Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Exchange Act.

(c) Except as previously disclosed in this Schedule 13D, as amended, there have been no transactions in shares of Common Stock during the 60 days prior to the date hereof by any of the Reporting Persons.

(d) To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Common Stock.

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
