Under the Asset Purchase Agreement governing the transaction between KRED and SITC, Mr. Schorr and Mr. Shaun Roberts were designated as a trustees of 42,750,000 KRED shares to be distributed to SITC shareholders. On May 23, 2014, SITC was dissolved and the process of distribution of the 42,750,000 KRED shares held in trust began, but has not yet been executed. Mr. Schorr's own shareholdings of KRED is 7,137,529 shares.

Mr. Schorr has made no sales of these shares within the last sixty days.
 
Other than in respect of the potential disposition of his 83,167 free-trading common shares, as of the date hereof, except as described above, Mr. Schorr does not have any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer including any plans or proposals to change the number of term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer’s Certificate of Incorporation or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
