(1)	The reporting person was appointed administrator of the Estate of Owsley Brown II in October 2011. On 12/21/12, the Estate distributed to the reporting person a 64.59% interest in Olympus Three, LLC, in which the reporting person had previously reported a pecuniary interest. On 12/31/12, in a series of nearly simultaneous transactions, the Estate transferred a .3265% interest in Guiford-Brown LP, a 9.79% interest in Driftwood Holding Three LLC and a 1% interest in Longview LP to the Owsley Brown Marital Trust, which transferred them to the reporting person, who then sold them and a 60.14% interest in Olympus Three LLC to a family trust in which the reporting person has no pecuniary interest. Following these transactions, neither the Estate nor the reporting person has a pecuniary interest in Guilford-Brown LP, Driftwood Holding Three LLC or Longview LP, but the reporting person continues to have a pecuniary interest in Olympus Three LLC.
(2)	The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of all entities set forth in this form except to the extent of her pecuniary interest therein.
