The funds used to finance the Transactions were working capital of the Reporting Person.

Following the closing of the Transactions, the Reporting Person owned 1,000 shares of common stock of the Issuer.

Following the consummation of the Transactions, the Issuer notified The New York Stock Exchange that the Transactions had been completed, and requested that The New York Stock Exchange suspend trading of the Class A Common Stock on The New York Stock Exchange.

As a result, shares of the Class A Common Stock will no longer be listed on The New York Stock Exchange. In addition, the Issuer intends to file a certification on Form 15 with the SEC requesting the termination of registration of all shares of the Class A Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of the Issuer’s reporting obligations under Section 13 of the Exchange Act with respect to all shares of Common Stock.
