Mr. Joseph Kronsberg is an employee of CCP and sits on the board of directors of the Issuer as a representative of CCP. The grant was made directly to CCP because pursuant to agreements between CCP and Mr. Kronsberg, CCP is required to receive all compensation in connection with Mr. Kronsberg's directorship.
