Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a)

As of October 14, 2016, Mr. Hyde beneficially owned an aggregate of 64,120,612.21 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 38.5% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding. The percentage of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Hyde is based on 159,199,764 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 14, 2016, as reported by the Company. Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Hyde as reported above includes: 42,918,033 shares of Common Stock owned by Mr. Hyde; 272,976.21 shares of Common Stock issuable to Mr. Hyde pursuant to the Issuer’s Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan; 216,462 shares of Common Stock owned by Mr. Hyde’s spouse; 145,352 shares of Common Stock held by Pittco Associates III, L.P.; 3,915,716 shares of Common Stock held by Pittco Investments, L.P.; 1,844,851 shares of Common Stock held by trusts for the benefit of Mr. Hyde’s children (the “Family Trusts”); 7,727,222 shares of Common Stock held in grantor retained annuity trusts on behalf of Mr. Hyde (the “GRATs”); and 7,080,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a warrant acquired by Mr. Hyde in November 2014 (the “Warrant”). The aforementioned Warrant is exercisable for up to an aggregate of 24,545,455 shares of Common Stock; however, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by Mr. Hyde upon exercise of the Warrant is generally limited to the extent necessary to ensure that, following such exercise, Mr. Hyde would not, together with his affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock would be aggregated with Mr. Hyde for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, beneficially own in excess of 38.5% of (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, or (ii) the combined voting power of all of the Company’s voting securities then outstanding. As a result of this restriction, as of the date of this Schedule 13D/A, the Warrant is exercisable for only up to 7,080,000 shares of Common Stock, and the number and percentage of shares beneficially owned by Mr. Hyde as reported in this Schedule 13D/A reflects this restriction. The number and related percentage of the shares of Common Stock that Mr. Hyde beneficially owns will change depending upon changes in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock from time to time.
