              BPAM holds all of the above 1,533,100 shares under management for
              its clients, who have the right to direct the receipt of
              dividends, to receive dividends from such shares and to receive
              the proceeds from the sale of such shares. None of these clients
              holds more than five percent of the Common Stock of the Issuer.
