In addition, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may disclaim any beneficial interest. (2) The percentages of Common Stock indicated in this table are based on the 21,709,542 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 31 1999, as disclosed in the Company's most recent Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any Common Stock not outstanding which is subject to options or conversion privileges which the beneficial owner had the right to exercise on or within 60 days after the date hereof is deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage of Common Stock owned by such beneficial owner and for the Reporting Persons but is not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of outstanding Common Stock owned by any other beneficial owner.
