AMENDMENT NO. 6 TO SCHEDULE 13D

This Amendment to Schedule 13D is being filed jointly by HowStuffWorks, LLC (“HSW”) and Discovery Communications, Inc. (“DCI”). HSW became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of DCI on September 17, 2008 in connection with Discovery Holding Company and Advance/Newhouse Programming Partnership combining their respective ownership interests in Discovery Communications Holding, LLC.

The Schedule 13D (the “Schedule”) filed by HSW on October 12, 2007, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 filed on November 15, 2007, by Amendment No. 2 filed on December 28, 2007, by Amendment No. 3 filed on January 10, 2008, by Amendment No. 4 filed on December 27, 2012, and by Amendment No. 5 filed on April 18, 2014, is hereby amended and supplemented by HSW and DCI as set forth below in this Amendment No. 6.
