The Filers purchased the Common Stock of the Issuer for investment purposes. John L. Welborn, Jr., a Managing Director of SCM, is a member of the Issuer’s Board of Directors.

The Filers intend to sell, in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions with third parties or otherwise, all of the shares of Stock now owned by them.

The Filers are engaged in the investment advisory business. In pursuing this business, the Filers will routinely monitor the Issuer with regard to a wide variety of factors that affect their investment considerations, including, without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices for the Issuer’s Common Stock and other securities, the Issuer’s operations, assets, prospects, financial position, and business development, Issuer’s management, Issuer-related competitive and strategic matters, general economic, financial market and industry conditions, as well as other investment considerations. Depending on their evaluation of various factors, including those indicated above, the Filers may take such actions with respect to their holdings in the Issuer as they deem appropriate in light of circumstances existing from time to time. In addition, the Filers may from time to time enter into or unwind hedging or other derivative transactions with respect to the Common Stock or otherwise pledge their interests in the Common Stock of the Issuer as a means of obtaining liquidity. The Filers may from time to time cause any of its investment fund clients (the “Stadium Capital Funds”) to distribute in kind to their respective investors shares of Common Stock of the Issuer owned by such Stadium Capital Funds. In addition, from time to time the Filers and their representatives and advisers may communicate with other stockholders, industry participants and other interested parties concerning the Issuer. Further, the Filers reserve the right to act in concert with any other stockholders of the Issuer, or other persons, for a common purpose should they determine to do so, and/or to recommend courses of action to the Issuer’s management, the Issuer’s Board of Directors and the stockholders of the Issuer. Any of the foregoing actions could involve one or more of the events referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including, potentially, one or more mergers, consolidations, sales or acquisitions of assets, change in control, issuances, purchases, dispositions or pledges of securities or other changes in capitalization.
