Such shares total 477,000 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 4.4% of the shares outstanding. (iv) VGH owns directly no shares of Common Stock. By reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, VGH may be deemed to own beneficially the 198,100 shares beneficially owned by Vinik Partners, constituting approximately 1.8% of the shares outstanding. (v) VAM LLC owns directly no shares of Common Stock. By reasons of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, VAM LLC may be deemed to own the 262,600 shares beneficially owned by Vinik Overseas and the 16,300 shares beneficially owned by the Discretionary Account.
