TYPE OF REPORTING PERSON (see instructions)

 

OO—Limited Liability Company

   
                 

 

* On August 2, 2016, the Company converted 126.64745 shares of the Issuer’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) into the 6,955,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) reported on Rows (5) and (7), above.

 

**The Company still holds 1,470.9497 shares of Preferred Stock. Because (i) the Preferred Stock, pursuant to its respective Certificate of Designation, is convertible into the Common Stock at a variable rate, and (ii) the exact number of shares of Common Stock that will be outstanding at the time of the Company’s next conversion is as of yet unascertained, the exact number of shares of Common Stock which the Company can acquire is inexact. However, these shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock is subject to a 9.99% blocker (the “Blocker”), and row (9) reflects the beneficial ownership of the Reporting Person based on the Blocker and the current amount of the Issuer’s Common Stock outstanding.

 

 *** The percentage listed in row (11) reflects the existence of the Blocker.
