EXHIBIT B TO SCHEDULE 13G

 

J. SCOTT MCINTYRE, JR.

 

The Reporting Persons filing jointly on this Amendment No. 3 filed Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13G on February 13, 2003.

 

Schedule A shows current ownership and transactions from December 31, 2002 to December 31, 2003, for the Reporting Persons and for three other entities, the McIntyre Foundation, the Mildred R. McIntyre Irrevocable Trust and the Dee Ann McIntyre Trust (herein, the “Other Entities”). Mr. McIntyre created the McIntyre Foundation as a charitable foundation in 1997; Mr. McIntyre is the President, Secretary and Treasurer of the Foundation and is one of four directors. Mildred R. McIntyre, Mr. McIntyre’s mother, created the Mildred R. McIntyre Irrevocable Trust; Mr. McIntyre is the sole trustee of that trust. Mr. McIntyre created the Dee Ann McIntyre Trust in 1995 for the benefit of his wife; Mr. McIntyre is the sole trustee of that trust. The group consisting of the Reporting Persons and the Other Entities is referred to collectively as the “Indicated Entities.” By virtue of his positions with the Foundation and as trustee of the Mildred R. McIntyre Irrevocable Trust and the Dee Ann McIntyre Trust, Mr. McIntyre is deemed to beneficially own the shares directly owned by the Foundation and the two trusts.

 

All transactions that involve one or more of the Indicated Entities are reported on Schedule A. Where transactions are among two of the Indicated Entities, appropriate corresponding entries reflect the transaction; such transactions are noted as “transfers.” Where transactions involve only one of the Indicated Entities there is no corresponding entry. Please note the following with respect to these transactions:

 

    The transaction described as “gift received” was a gift received from the Mildred R. McIntyre Revocable Trust before Mr. McIntyre was appointed trustee;
    The transaction described as “became trustee” indicates the appointment of Mr. McIntyre as trustee of two trusts formerly overseen by Mr. McIntyre’s mother;
    The transaction described as “gift given” was an outright gift made by the donor; and
    The transaction described as “option exercise” was the exercise of stock options awarded to Mr. McIntyre by the Issuer.
