Item 4 |
Please see Items 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11 of the cover sheet for Mr. Ansary.
Mr. Ansary holds directly 8,474,425 Common Shares. The number of shares reported herein as beneficially owned by Mr. Ansary excludes 1,801,773 Common Shares owned by his wife and Mr. Ansary disclaims beneficial ownership of those shares.
Mr. Ansary owns a controlling equity interest in Parman International B.V., a private investment company organized under the laws of Curacao (“Parman International”) and, indirectly, in Parman International's wholly-owned subsidiary Ennia Caribe Holding N.V. , a private company organized under the laws of Curacao (together with its various direct and indirect subsidiaries, the "ECH Group"). Pursuant to legal proceedings related to certain members of the ECH Group instituted in Curacao (and related proceedings in New York) that are being contested by Parman International, among other things, neither Mr. Ansary nor Parman International has the ability, directly or indirectly, to take any action with respect to the disposition of, or voting with respect to, any Common Shares held by any member of the ECH Group. A brokerage account statement filed in connection with the proceedings referenced above indicates that 3,000,000 Common Shares are held by a member of the ECH Group. Inasmuch as, pursuant to the proceedings referenced above, neither Mr. Ansary nor Parman International has ability, directly or indirectly, to take any action with respect to the disposition of, or voting with respect to, any Common Shares held by any member of the ECH Group, neither Mr. Ansary nor Parman International has beneficial ownership of any Common Shares held by any member of the ECH Group. Had the proceedings referenced above not been instituted, Mr. Ansary would be, and Parman International and Ennia Caribe Holding N.V. may be, deemed to be the beneficial owners of such 3,000,000 Common Shares and of any other Common Shares held by any member of the ECH Group.
