Explanation of Responses:
(1)	Teebank Family Limited Partnership ("Teebank") is a family limited partnership. A trust ("GP Trust 1") in which the Reporting Person is a trustee is a co-General Partner of Teebank. A trust ("GP Trust 2") in which the Reporting Person and his mother are co-trustees is the other co-General Partner of Teebank. The Reporting Person is trustee of multiple trusts (the "LP Trusts") for the benefit of the Reporting Person and certain of the Reporting Person's immediate family members. The LP Trusts are limited partners of Teebank. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
(2)	The Reporting Person is the trustee and beneficiary of an LP Trust ("LP Trust 1"). Effective 12/10/2018, LP Trust 1 gifted $12.8 million in Teebank interests to another LP Trust ("LP Trust 2"), the co-trustee of which is the Reporting Person's spouse and the beneficiaries of which are the Reporting Person's spouse and two children. The Reporting Person will continue to report the shares underlying the Teebank interests held in LP Trust 2.
(3)	The Reporting Person is also the trustee of an LP Trust in which the Reporting Person's sister is the beneficiary ("LP Trust 3"). Effective 12/10/2018, LP Trust 3 gifted $6 million worth of Teebank interests to the Reporting Person's sister.
(4)	As of the original reporting date, Teebank engaged a valuation firm to conduct an appraisal of its limited partnership units. This amendment is being filed to reflect the number of issuer securities that were the subject of this transaction based on such appraisal.
