Explanatory Note

Shelby J. Butterfield is the surviving spouse of Stephen F. Butterfield, who had previously reported beneficial ownership of the issuer’s Class A common stock (the class of securities to which this statement relates) beginning after the issuer’s initial public offering and registration of such class of securities under Section 12 of the Act in December 2003, in statements (including amendments thereto) on Schedule 13G, with the most recent annual amendment thereto filed by Mr. Butterfield on February 12, 2018. The previous statements on Schedule 13G for Mr. Butterfield were filed pursuant to Rule 13d-1(d) and Section 13(d)(6)(B) of the Act. Mr. Butterfield passed away on April 16, 2018, and Ms. Butterfield was appointed as personal representative of the Estate of Stephen F. Butterfield (the “Butterfield Estate,” which is a separate reporting person in this statement) on May 4, 2018.

On April 5, 2019, the Butterfield Estate completed a transfer of its previously reported 50% ownership interest in the outstanding capital stock of Union Financial Services, Inc. (“UFS”), which owns 1,586,691 shares of the issuer’s Class B common stock, to the Butterfield Family Trust, an estate planning trust for the family of Stephen F. Butterfield, for which trust Ms. Butterfield serves as a co-trustee and Whitetail Rock Capital Management, LLC (“WRCM”), a majority owned subsidiary of the issuer, serves as investment adviser with respect to shares of the issuer’s stock held therein, including shares of the issuer’s stock held by such trust indirectly through UFS (and which Butterfield Family Trust is included as a new additional separate reporting person in this statement). Michael S. Dunlap, Executive Chairman and a substantial shareholder of the issuer, owns the other 50% of the outstanding capital stock of UFS. In addition, in March 2019, the Butterfield Estate transferred a total of 778,089 shares of the issuer’s Class B common stock to the Butterfield Family Trust, and the Stephen F. Butterfield Revocable Living Trust transferred 135,332 shares of the issuer’s Class B common stock to the restated Stephen F. Butterfield Revocable Living Trust (the “Restated Butterfield Revocable Living Trust”), for which Ms. Butterfield serves as a co-trustee and WRCM serves as investment adviser with respect to shares of the issuer’s stock held therein. The foregoing transfers are reflected in this amendment.

Consistent with separate beneficial ownership reporting prior to Mr. Butterfield’s passing, (i) the 1,586,691 shares of the issuer’s Class B common stock (which shares are convertible into the same number of shares of Class A common stock at the option of the holder at any time, with each share of Class A common stock having one vote and each share of Class B common stock having ten votes on all matters to be voted upon by the issuer's shareholders) owned by UFS as discussed in footnote (2) to Rows 6) and 8) on the cover page with respect to Ms. Butterfield above and in footnote (1) to Rows 6) and 8) on the cover page with respect to the Butterfield Family Trust above, which footnotes are incorporated herein by reference, were separately reported as also beneficially owned by UFS and Mr. Dunlap in an amendment to Statement on Schedule 13D filed by Mr. Dunlap and UFS on a joint basis on April 15, 2019; and (ii) the shares of Class B common stock held in various grantor retained annuity trusts (“GRATs”), a charitable lead annuity trust (“CLAT”), the Butterfield Family Trust (including shares of the issuer’s stock held by the Butterfield Family Trust indirectly through UFS), and the Restated Butterfield Revocable Living Trust as discussed in footnote (2) to Rows 6) and 8) on the cover page with respect to Ms. Butterfield above and in footnote (1) to Rows 6) and 8) on the cover page with respect to the Butterfield Family Trust above, for which WRCM serves as investment adviser, were included in the shares separately reported as beneficially owned by WRCM in an amendment to Schedule 13G filed by WRCM on May 8, 2019 and in the shares separately reported as beneficially owned by Mr. Dunlap in the amendment to Statement on Schedule 13D filed by Mr. Dunlap and UFS on a joint basis on April 15, 2019.
