Under the terms of the Notes, each $1,000 of principal of the Notes will initially be convertible into 166.2593 Shares, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, or, if the Issuer obtains the required consent from its stockholders, into Shares, cash or a combination of cash and Shares, at the Issuer’s election. The Notes contain a blocker provision that precludes a holder from receiving Shares upon conversion of the Notes to the extent that such receipt would cause such holder to become a beneficial owner of more than 4.9% of the Shares outstanding at such time. Accordingly, SPHG Holdings does not currently have the ability to convert its Notes into Shares and for this reason the Shares underlying its Notes are not reported herein as beneficially owned by any Reporting Person.
