These shares were acquired pursuant to the exercise of options to purchase shares of the Issuer that were granted by Related Fund Management, LLC ("Related") and Corvex Management LP ("Corvex") to EGI-CW Holdings, L.L.C. ("EGI-CW") pursuant to an agreement entered into between Related, Corvex and EGI-CW on February 11, 2014. EGI-CW is indirectly controlled by Chai Trust Company, LLC ("Chai"). |
2. David Helfand, one of the reporting persons, has an indirect pecuniary interest in EGI-Fund (11-13) Investors, L.L.C. ("EGI (11-13)"), which is the Managing Member of EGI-CW. Mr. Helfand is also a member of EGI-CW and thus has an indirect pecuniary interest in the reported shares and options. Mr. Helfand is not an officer or a director of EGI-CW, EGI (11-13), Chai, or any other controlling person of EGI-CW, and does not have voting or dispositive power over the shares or options, and therefore disclaims beneficial ownership thereof, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein. |
3. Allen Samuel, one of the reporting persons, is a member of EGI-CW and thus has an indirect pecuniary interest in the reported shares and options. Mr. Samuel is not an officer or a director of EGI-CW, Chai, or any other controlling person of EGI-CW, and does not have voting or dispositive power over the shares or options, and therefore disclaims beneficial ownership thereof, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein. |
4. Orrin Shifrin, one of the reporting persons, is the trustee and beneficiary of the Orrin S. Shifrin Revocable Trust, which is a member of EGI-CW, and thus the reporting person has an indirect pecuniary interest in the reported shares and options. Mr. Shifrin is not an officer or a director of EGI-CW, Chai, or any other controlling person of EGI-CW, and does not have voting or dispositive power over the shares or options, and therefore disclaims beneficial ownership thereof, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein. |
5. David Weinberg, one of the reporting persons, has an indirect pecuniary interest in EGI-Fund (11-13) Investors, L.L.C. ("EGI (11-13)"), which is the Managing Member of EGI-CW. Mr. Weinberg is also a member of EGI-CW and thus has an indirect pecuniary interest in the reported shares and options. Mr. Weinberg is not an officer or a director of EGI-CW, EGI (11-13), Chai, or any other controlling person of EGI-CW, and does not have voting or dispositive power over the shares or options, and therefore disclaims beneficial ownership thereof, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein. |
6. Two entities, in which trusts established for the benefit of the family of Samuel Zell, one of the reporting persons, the trustee of each of which is Chai, indirectly own interests, are members of EGI-CW. Mr. Zell is not an officer or a director of Chai and does not have voting or dispositive power over the shares or options, and therefore disclaims beneficial ownership thereof, except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein indirectly held by his family. |
7. Prior to July 10, 2014, EGI-CW distributed all of the options it held that are not represented by the exercise of the options reported herein to individuals or entities that are not reporting persons of the Issuer. Therefore, upon exercise of the options as reported herein, EGI-CW no longer beneficially owns any options of the Issuer. |
