Lewis, the controlling member of Osmium Partners (all of the foregoing, collectively, the Reporting Persons). The Fund, Fund II, Fund III, and Fund IV are private investment vehicles formed for the purpose of investing and trading in a wide variety of securities and financial instruments. Mr. Lewis and Osmium Partners may be deemed to share with the Fund, Fund II, Fund III, and Fund IV (and not with any third party) voting and dispositive power with respect to such shares. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership with respect to any shares other than the shares owned directly by such Reporting Person.

(b)
