        <footnote id="F1">Pursuant to the Issuer's Third Amended Joint Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, effective April 28, 2017, all outstanding shares of the Issuer's common stock, par value $0.001 per share, (&quot;Old Common Stock&quot;) were cancelled and holders of the Issuer's Old Common Stock received 1 share of the Issuer's new common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for each approximately 111.5879 shares of Old Common Stock. The Reporting Person does not beneficially own more than 10% of the new common stock and thus is no longer subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to the Issuer.</footnote>
