Pursuant to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 28, 2013 there were 52,767,714 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of January 25, 2014. Accordingly, after giving effect to the distribution described in Item (c) below, the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, in the aggregate, represent approximately 5.89% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which is broken out by Reporting Person as follows:
 
 
(i)
Fund VII beneficially owns 3.23% of the Issuer’s Common Stock.
     
 
(ii)

By virtue of the relationships described herein, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act. As a member of a group, each Reporting Person may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to, and therefore beneficially own, the shares beneficially owned by members of the group as a whole. The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that the Reporting Persons beneficially own those shares held by any other members of the group. Berkshire Partners, the Funds, BPSP and 7BA acknowledge that they may be deemed to be part of a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d)(3). However, the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that Berkshire Partners, the Funds, BPSP, 7BA, Investors, Investors III, SF, SA, SP, SFM, SARF or SOS are a part of a group, or have agreed to act as a part of a group.
