(a)       The aggregate percentage of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock reported owned by each Reporting Person is based on 8,354,691 shares of common stock outstanding at July 8, 2020, as reported by the Issuer on its Form 10-Q, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on July 13, 2020. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership with respect to any shares of Common Stock other than the shares owned directly and of record by such Reporting Person.

 

Red Oak Partners beneficially owns 294,449 shares of Common Stock, representing 3.5% of all the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Funds are each controlled by Red Oak Partners. Therefore, Red Oak Partners may be deemed to beneficially own (i) the 138,938 shares of Common Stock held by the Red Oak Fund, (ii) the 120,678 shares of Common Stock held by Red Oak Founders Fund, and (iii) the 34,833 shares of Common Stock held by the Red Oak Long Fund.

 

Mr. Sandberg, as the managing member of Red Oak Partners may be deemed to beneficially own the 294,449 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Red Oak Partners through the Funds, representing 3.5% of all the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

Red Oak Fund may be deemed to beneficially own 138,938 shares of Common Stock, representing 1.7% of all the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Red Oak Founders Fund may be deemed to beneficially own 120,678 shares of Common Stock, representing 1.4% of all the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Red Oak Long Fund may be deemed to beneficially own 34,833 shares of Common Stock, representing less than 1% of all the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

(b)       Each of Red Oak Partners and Mr. Sandberg may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to (i) the 138,938 shares of Common Stock held by the Red Oak Fund, (ii) the 120,678 shares of Common Stock held by Red Oak Founders Fund, and (iii) the 34,833 shares of Common Stock held by the Red Oak Long Fund.
