("Steel Master") and Steel Partners LLC ("Partners LLC") may now be deemed to beneficially own securities of the Issuer owned by Steel Partners II. The securities reported in this Form 3 are owned directly by Steel Partners II, and owned indirectly by Steel GP LLC by virtue of it being the general partner of Steel Partners II, by Steel Master by virtue of it being the sole limited partner of Steel Partners II and by Partners LLC by virtue of it being the investment manager of Steel Partners II. The securities reported in this Form 3 continue to be owned indirectly by Warren Lichtenstein who previously jointly filed with Steel Partners II Section 16 filings with respect to securities of the Issuer owned directly by Steel Partners II.
