*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	On August 18, 2015, Gruden Acquisition, Inc. ("Parent") acquired the issuer pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among issuer, Parent and Gruden Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), dated as of May 6, 2015 (the "Merger Agreement"). In accordance with the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the issuer (the "Merger"), with the issuer surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of the issuer's common stock (including the shares of common stock relating to previously unvested restricted stock awards) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $16.00 in cash (the "per share merger consideration"). The Merger is more fully described in the issuer's Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on July 16, 2015.
(2)	This amount includes (i) 78,062 shares of common stock held by the Alan H. Schumacher Trust and (ii) 7,383 shares of common stock relating to unvested restricted stock that vested automatically upon the Merger.
(3)	The stock options vest ratably over two years on each anniversary of the date of grant. The Merger Agreement provided that each outstanding stock option, whether vested or unvested, be cancelled at the effective time of the Merger in exchange for the right to receive a cash payment equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of common stock subject to the stock option as of the effective time of the Merger and (ii) the amount by which the per share merger consideration exceeds the per share exercise price of the common stock underlying the stock option.
