Wayne Hughes, B. Wayne Hughes, Jr. and Tamara Hughes Gustavson (together, the “Reporting Persons” or the “Hughes Family”). This Amendment is being filed to update the Schedule 13D in light of certain recent events.

Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Schedule 13D, and unless amended or supplemented hereby, all information previously filed remains in effect.

The Hughes Family intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may, at any time, consistent with the Hughes Family’s obligations under the Issuer’s declaration of trust (as impacted by the waiver granted by the board of directors of the Issuer’s predecessor to acquire additional Shares) and under the federal securities laws, determine to increase or decrease their ownership of Shares through purchases or sales of Shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In reaching any conclusion as to their future course of action, the Hughes Family will take into consideration various factors, such as the Hughes Family’s financial condition and financial plans, other developments concerning the Hughes Family, the Issuer’s business and prospects, other developments concerning the Issuer, other business opportunities available to the Issuer and general economic and stock market conditions, including, but not limited to, the market price of the Shares.
