On June 15, 2015, in satisfaction of certain liabilities of SPE I payable to RBS, the capital account balance of RBS was increased by an aggregate of $3,388,616, resulting in the acquisition by RBS of an additional approximate 3.54% general partner interest in SPE I. Each of RBS, ESL and Mr. Lampert disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities owned by SPE I except to the extent of the pecuniary interest of RBS, ESL and Mr. Lampert, respectively, therein.
