ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction

SEI, Inc. (“SEI”) is a Nevada corporation, of which Jay L. Schottenstein is a director, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President and of which 79.61% of the issued and outstanding common stock is currently owned by trusts of which Mr. Schottenstein is Trustee. On September 16, 2011, SEI redeemed shares of its common stock from certain of its shareholders and in exchange distributed 598,613 Class A Common Shares and 1,204,473 Class B Common Shares to such shareholders (collectively, the “Distributed SEI Shares”). The transaction discussed in this paragraph is referred to herein as the “SEI Redemption”).

As a result of the SEI Redemption, SEI no longer has dispositive power over the Distributed SEI Shares.

Mr. Schottenstein, as a director and majority shareholder of SEI, evaluates each of his investments, including the Company and the Class A Common Shares, on an ongoing basis, based upon various factors, criteria and alternatives including those noted below. Based on current circumstances and such ongoing evaluation Mr. Schottenstein may, from time to time, acquire additional Class A Common Shares, continue to own Class A Common Shares or dispose of Class A Common Shares at any time, in the open market or otherwise, and may take actions which could involve any of the items enumerated in the Schedule 13D instructions to this Item 4. Mr. Schottenstein reserves the right, based on all relevant factors and circumstances, to change his investment intent with respect to the Company and the Class A Common Shares at any time in the future, and to change his intent with respect to any or all of the matters referred to in this Schedule 13D, including any of the items enumerated in the Schedule 13D instructions to this Item 4. In reaching any conclusion as to his future course of action, Mr. Schottenstein will take into consideration various factors, criteria and alternatives, including, but not limited to, the Company’s business and prospects, other developments concerning the business and management of the Company, its competitors and the industry in which it operates, other business and investment opportunities available to Mr. Schottenstein, any contractual obligations to which Mr. Schottenstein is now or may in the future become subject, including in respect of the financing of his ownership of the Class A Common Shares or otherwise relating to his investment in the Company or otherwise, and general economic and stock market conditions, including, but not limited to, the market price of the Class A Common Shares and other investment alternatives. From time to time Mr. Schottenstein may enter into discussions with the Company and/or third parties, concerning his holdings of the Class A Common Shares and possible future extraordinary transactions involving Mr. Schottenstein and the Company and such third persons. There can be no assurance as to whether Mr. Schottenstein will take any action with respect to his ownership of the Class A Common Shares, take action with respect to any of the items enumerated in the Schedule 13D instructions to this Item 4, including entering into any discussions with the Company or with any third parties with respect to the Class A Common Shares or the Company, nor as to the outcome of any such matters, including as to whether any discussions if entered into will lead to any transaction that might be considered or agreed to by any third party, the Company or Mr. Schottenstein, the terms of any transaction, or the timing or certainty of any transaction.
