All of such trusts were created for estate planning purposes by William Shaw (the "Grantor"). These shares were personally held by the Grantor since the organization of Volt Information Sciences, Inc., a New York corporation (the "Issuer"), until the creation of the Trust. No funds or other consideration were borrowed or otherwise obtained for the purposes of acquiring these shares in order to place them into their respective trusts. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
