(2) The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. These shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $18.10 to $18.36, inclusive.

(3) On August 8, 2013, the Issuer declared a one-time cash dividend of $1.50 per share to shareholders of record as of August 19, 2013, to be paid on August 29, 2013.
