Item 2.

Identity and Background

This statement is filed by Sarah A. Bany, a citizen of the United States of America. Ms. Bany was a member of the board of directors of the Company, but she resigned as a director effective December 9, 2019 based on personal reasons and not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices (as reported in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on December 10, 2019). Ms. Bany is a co-owner of Moonstruck Chocolate Company, a company whose principal business is to produce and sell chocolate products and whose principal business address is 6600 N.

Item 3.

On November 3, 2019, Ms. Bany was appointed as the sole trustee of the Gertrude Boyle Trust, a trust established under the laws of Oregon (the “Trust”).
