        <footnote id="F1">This transaction was originally reported on Form 4 filed by the Reporting Person on 8-18-16. The Transaction Code was incorrectly reported on the Form 4 and is hereby amended to reflect the correct Transaction Code. This Form 5 also corrects the end of period ownership of the Reporting Person as reported on such Form 4 by also reflecting the Reporting Person's contribution to the Cornelis F. Wit Revocable Living Trust Dated October 15, 2009 as Amended and Restated on June 11, 2015 (the &quot;Trust&quot;), on 1-21-2016, of 49,644,716 shares that had previously been acquired directly by the Reporting Person. The Trust is a revocable trust established by the Reporting Person as grantor with respect to which the Reporting Person is the sole trustee, and the Reporting Person, his spouse and children are beneficiaries, and, as a result, the Reporting Person may be deemed to have retained beneficial ownership of such shares.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The contribution of such shares to the Trust was a change in form of beneficial ownership that was exempt from Section 16 by reason of Rule 16a-13; but should have been reflected in the amount of securities beneficially owned following reported transaction totals reported on the Form 4 filed 8-18-16. The end of the year totals in this Form 5 also reflect the Reporting Person's contribution to the Trust, on September 6, 2016, of the 80,000 shares acquired on 8-18-16. This contribution of shares to the Trust was also a change in form of beneficial ownership that was exempt from Section 16 by reason of Rule 16a-13.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">This transaction was originally reported on Form 4 filed by the Reporting Person on 3-2-2016. The Transaction Code was incorrectly reported on the Form 4 and is hereby amended to reflect the correct Transaction Code.</footnote>
