Item 6 of the Original Statement is hereby supplemented as follows:
Milestone holds a portion of its assets, which may include its Class A Common Shares, in prime brokerage accounts at various institutions,
which accounts provide Milestone with access to margin or other financing. The customer and related agreements governing such accounts generally provide the broker counterparty with security, collateral or similar rights of possession, sale or
offset with respect to such account assets in the event of a customer default. Such agreements generally also provide the counterparty with rights to lend assets held in such account, in some cases without advance or other notification to the
customer. To the extent the Class A Common Shares owned by Milestone are held from time to time in such prime brokerage accounts, they may be subject to such counterparty rights. Milestones 260,100 Class A Common Shares are currently
subject to 2,601 short call options that expire on May 20, 2016.
