The Merger became effective on November 21, 2017 (the "Closing Date"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) each share of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 ("Common Stock"), issued and outstanding prior to the Closing Date was cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to $33.25 and without interest.
(2)  Varietal Distribution Holdings, LLC ("Varietal") is the record owner of the reported shares. Voting and dispositive power with respect to the common stock held by Varietal is exercised by its board of directors, which is comprised of Messrs. Nicholas W. Alexos and Timothy P. Sullivan.

Mencoff are the sole members of a limited partner committee of MDP A&C that have the power, acting by majority vote, to vote or dispose of the shares directly held by the MDP Funds, and may be deemed to have shared voting and investment power over such shares. Messrs. Finnegan and Mencoff also each have an indirect pecuniary interest in such shares through their respective investments in the MDP Funds. Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC ("MDP") is the general partner of MDP A&C and has the ability to direct the investment decisions of MDP A&C, including the power to direct the decisions of MDP A&C regarding the vote or disposition of securities directly held by Varietal.
