In addition, Mr. Stone may make gifts (which may include gifts to the GRAT and/or Foundation and other charities) of Common Stock from time to time.

 

The Reporting Persons intend to participate in and influence the affairs of the Issuer through the exercise of their voting rights with respect to their shares of Common Stock. In addition, Mr. Stone is the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer and, as a result, in the ordinary course or otherwise, may take actions to influence the management, business, and affairs of the Issuer.
