Ownership.

The Steven L. Karan Revocable Trust dated the 29th day of October, 2014 beneficially owns 26,915 shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 (“Class A Shares”), and 530,739 shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock, par value 0.0001 per share (“Class B Shares”). The Hughes Family Trust dated 8/7/03 beneficially owns 1,910 Class A Shares and 43,354 Class B Shares. Class B Shares are immediately convertible into Class A Shares, which necessitates that the Class B Shares owned by the Reporting Persons be included in the calculation of the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership of Class A Shares. Steven L. Karan and Jason Hughes may each be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the Class A Shares and the Class B Shares that are owned by their respective trusts. The percentage ownership for each of the Reporting Persons is based on 11,607,587 Class A Shares issued and outstanding on October 21, 2016, as disclosed in the Issuer’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2016, filed by the Issuer with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 7, 2016, and (ii) the Reporting Person’s books and records related to transactions in the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock since October 21, 2016.

  

By virtue of the understandings between them, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have formed a “group” as defined in Rule 13d-5(b)(1). Collectively, the “group” may be deemed to have voting and dispositive power over a combined 4.94% of the Class A Shares, which percentage accounts for the Class B Shares held by the Reporting Persons.

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.
