8 Knots Fund beneficially owns 911,861 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. 8 Knots Fund II beneficially owns 75,585 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. 8 Knots GP, as the general partner of 8 Knots Fund and 8 Knots Fund II, may be deemed to beneficially own the Common Stock owned by 8 Knots Fund and 8 Knots Fund II. Additionally, Scott Green, is an individual and sole managing member of 8 Knots Management. 8 Knots Management, an investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 203 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, serves as investment manager to 8 Knots Fund and 8 Knots Fund II pursuant to investment advisory agreements with the 8 Knots Fund and 8 Knots Fund II. Accordingly, 8 Knots Management and Mr. Green may be deemed to have beneficial ownership over the shares of Common Stock directly owned by 8 Knots Fund, 8 Knots Fund II, the Sub-Advised Fund (as defined below), and the SMAs (as defined below).
8 Knots Management also serves as a sub-adviser, pursuant to a sub-advisory investment management agreement, to another private investment fund (such sub-advised fund, the "Sub-Advised Fund") which beneficially owns 154,379 shares of Common Stock. While 8 Knots Management maintains investment discretion with respect to the Sub-Advised Fund, including the Common Stock, the sub-advisory investment management agreement is terminable by the Sub-Advised Fund's investment manager at any time upon 30 days written notice. Accordingly, 8 Knots Management and Mr. Green disclaim beneficial ownership of the Common Stock owned by the Sub-Advised Fund.
8 Knots Management serves as an adviser to five separately managed accounts (each, an "SMA", and collectively, the "SMAs") pursuant to respective investment management agreements entered into between 8 Knots Management and each SMA. The SMAs beneficially own shares of Common Stock as follows: (i) one SMA beneficially owns 101,077 shares of Common Stock ("SMA-1"), (ii) another SMA beneficially owns 55,089 shares of Common Stock ("SMA-2"), (iii) a third SMA beneficially owns 76,411 shares of Common Stock ("SMA-3"), (iv) a fourth SMA beneficially owns 294,682 shares of Common Stock ("SMA-4"), and (v) a fifth SMA beneficially owns 72,471 shares of Common Stock ("SMA-5"). While 8 Knots Management maintains investment discretion with respect to each of SMA-1, SMA-3, SMA-4, and SMA-5, including the authority to vote and dispose of the Common Stock on behalf of each SMA, the respective investment management agreements with SMA-1, SMA-3, SMA-4, and SMA-5 are terminable by each such SMA at any time upon 60 days written notice. Accordingly, 8 Knots Management and Mr. Green disclaim beneficial ownership of the Common Stock owned by the SMA-1, SMA-3, SMA-4, and SMA-5. While 8 Knots Management maintains investment discretion with respect to SMA-2, including the authority to vote and dispose of the Common Stock on behalf of SMA-2, the respective investment management agreement with SMA-2 is terminable by SMA-2 at any time upon 61 days written notice. Accordingly, 8 Knots Management and Mr. Green may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the Common Stock owned by SMA-2.
