The Reporting Person’s transaction requiring the filing of this Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13 D is the sale in a privately-negotiated transaction of shares of the Issuer’s Series B common stock. The Reporting Person sold shares in the privately-negotiated transaction for family estate planning purposes. The Reporting Person intends to review her investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may, at any time, consistent with the Reporting Person’s obligations under the federal securities laws, determine to increase or decrease her ownership of shares of the Issuer’s Series B common stock through purchases or sales in the open market or in privately-negotiated transactions. The Reporting Person’s review of her investment in the Issuer will depend on various factors, including the Issuer’s business prospects, other developments concerning the Issuer, general economic conditions, financial and stock market conditions, the Reporting Person’s personal financial situation, need for, and availability of capital, and any other facts and circumstances which may become known to the Reporting Person regarding her investment in the Issuer. At the time of filing of this Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D, the Reporting Person has no plans to purchase additional shares of common stock in the open market in the immediate future. However, the Reporting Person may engage in privately-negotiated transactions in the future, and reserves her right to reevaluate her investment in the Issuer and to purchase additional shares in the open market or otherwise.


Except as may occur in the ordinary course of business of the Issuer, the Reporting Person has no present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in (i) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization, or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) any change in the board of directors or executive management of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (iv) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, (v) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, (vi) changes in the Issuer’s Certificate of Formation or bylaws or other actions that may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person, (vii) a series of securities of the Issuer being delisted from a national securities exchange or no longer being quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (viii) a series of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or (ix) any action similar to any of those described above.

(a) As of the date of filing of this Statement, the Reporting Person beneficially owns 100,000 shares of Series B Common Stock, representing approximately 4.05% of the Series B Common Stock based on the number of shares outstanding as of April 25, 2019, all of which shares are held directly by the Reporting Person.

(c) Except as disclosed in Item 3, the Reporting Person has not effected any transaction involving shares of Series B Common Stock of the Issuer during the past 60 days.
