| ITEM 4. | PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION |
Mr. Forman intends to reduce his investment in the Company through gifts, charitable donations or other public or private dispositions. He requested the exchange of Voting Common Stock for Non-Voting Common Stock as he believes that shares of the Non-Voting Common Stock are likely to afford him greater liquidity and flexibility with regard to such dispositions. Mr. Forman’s future actions with regard to the Non-Voting Common Stock are dependent on his future plans for gifts and charitable contributions and his evaluation of a variety of factors affecting the Company, including, without limitation, the market price of the Non-Voting Common Stock, the Company’s business and the Company’s results of operations.
