ITEM 3.

SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

This filing does not reflect any purchase of securities by the Reporting Persons. Rather, this filing is being made due to the combination of the Reporting Persons for the purpose of acting together as a group as set forth below in Item 4.

 

ITEM 4.

PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

Each Reporting Person, as either one of the descendents of Homer Scott, Sr., the founder of the Issuer, or an affiliate thereof, has been a long-time beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock. The shares of capital stock held by each of the Reporting Persons have been held without any arrangement, relationship, understanding or agreement among them to act together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any of such equity securities or to otherwise seek to influence on a concerted basis control over the Issuer, other than the Shareholder Agreement (as defined below), including predecessor versions thereof, which contains certain customary transfer restrictions and provides the parties thereto a right of first refusal, except for certain permitted transfers.

The Issuer completed an initial public offering of Class A Stock and related listing of such stock on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC in March 2010. The Reporting Persons, which own collectively and in the aggregate more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Issuer, reached an oral agreement as a group, effective as of the date of the Joint Filing Agreement included as an exhibit hereto, for the purpose of influencing control over the Issuer solely to the extent necessary to ensure the Issuer will qualify as a “controlled company” under applicable NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. Under such rules, NASDAQ listed issuers that qualify as controlled companies may avail themselves of certain corporate governance exemptions involving board and committee independent director requirements. Except for the foregoing and the Shareholder Agreement, the Reporting Persons do not have any arrangement, relationship, understanding or agreement among them to act together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any of such equity securities or to otherwise seek to influence control over the Issuer.

Other than in connection with the contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships with respect to securities of the Issuer described in Item 6 below, including the Scott Family Shareholders’ Agreement among Scott family members dated October 29, 2010 (the “Shareholder Agreement”), there are no other plans or proposals that would result in the acquisition of additional securities or disposition of additional securities of the Issuer.

Except as described above in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons do not have, as of the date hereof, any other plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions or events specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Each of the Reporting Persons reserves the right, however, to formulate such plans or proposals, and to take such action with respect to any or all of such matters and any other matters as they may determine in their sole discretion.
