Explanation of Responses: |
1. This transaction denotes the privately negotiated sale of securities from the McIntyre Foundation to the Dee Ann McIntyre Marital Election Trust dated 10/06/2009. |
2. The number of shares beneficially held indirectly by the reporting person following the reported transaction includes: 243,086 shares held directly by Mr. Drahozal's wife; 74,714 shares held by Mr. Drahozal's children; and 66,898 shares held by a trust for the benefit of Mr. Drahozal's children where he and his wive serve as co-trustees. The 519,863 shares owned by the McIntyre Foundation (511,863 after the reported transaction) that were previously included in Mr. Drahozal's indirect beneficial ownership total are no longer included in this Column 5. See Footnote 3 for further explanation. |
3. Shares held by the McIntyre Foundation (an Iowa charitable foundation) were previously reported as beneficially owned by Mr. Drahozal because his wife serves as an officer and director of the foundation. It was originally presumed that Mr. Drahozal had an indirect pecuniary interest in the shares owned by the foundation because his wife's family established the foundation with shares previously held directly by them. Subsequently, Mr. Drahozal and the Issuer have determinted that he has no pecuniary interest (direct or indirect) in these shares for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Section 16") or for any other purpose. Therefore, shares of Issuer's common stock owned by the McIntyre Foundation are not included in the total reported in Column 5 of this report and will not be included in Mr. Drahozal's future filings pursuant to Section 16. |
4. These shares are held jointly by Mr. Drahozal and his wife. |
