Aareno Enterprises was formed by Robert N. O'Brien in 2010 to hold his 1,750,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Subsequent to Mr. O'Brien's death in March 2015, the ownership of Aareno Enterprises was transferred to Helen T. O'Brien. Since there was a possibility that a substantial number of the shares owned by Aareno Enterprises would need to be sold to pay estate taxes, the Company believed that it was in the best interest of the Company's shareholders to purchase the shares privately to avoid having these shares sold in the public market and thereby depressing the price of the Company's common stock. This share purchased from Aareno Enterprises will be returned to treasury and will represent authorized but unissued shares.
