Remarks: This statement is being filed jointly by (i) Laxey Partners Limited, an Isle of Man company ("Laxey"), (ii) The Value Catalyst Fund Limited, a Cayman Islands company ("Catalyst"), (iii) Laxey Investors Limited, a British Virgin Islands company ("LIL"), (iv) LP Value Limited, a British Virgin Islands company ("LPV"), (v) Laxey Investors L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("LILP"), and (vi) Laxey Universal Value, LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("LUV"). Laxey serves as the investment manager of Catalyst, LIL, LPV, LILP, LUV, and various third party discretionary accounts for the benefit of various unaffiliated third parties. The shares owned by the various entities listed above, in the aggregate, exceed 10% of the outstanding shares of the TFC. Laxey, an investment adviser registered under ?203 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80b-3), holds all of the TFC shares listed in the table above for the benefit of its clients, Catalyst, LIL, LPV, LILP, LUV, and various third party discretionary accounts in the ordinary course of business, except for 1,000 shares of TFC owned directly by Laxey.

Laxey is not the beneficial owner of any such TFC shares (except for the 1,000 shares owned directly by Laxey) as the term ?beneficial owner? is defined in Rule 16a-1(a)(1)(v).
