Pursuant to the Additional IAT Repurchase Agreements, IAT repurchased all of the remaining issued and outstanding ordinary shares of IAT (other than one such IAT ordinary share to be held by Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh pending the liquidation of IAT) in exchange for payment of 4,250,000 Ordinary Shares owned by it to Maher Abu-Ghazaleh and Amir Abu-Ghazaleh (the “Additional IAT Repurchase Transaction”). No cash funds were paid for the Additional IAT Repurchase Transaction.

The following chart indicates the amount of IAT’s ordinary shares repurchased from and the amount of Ordinary Shares distributed to each of Maher Abu-Ghazaleh and Amir Abu-Ghazaleh in connection with the Additional IAT Repurchase Transaction:

  (b)

As of the date hereof: (i) IAT does not beneficially own any Ordinary Shares; (ii) Sumaya Abu-Ghazaleh directly beneficially owns 3,771,666 Ordinary Shares, which constitutes approximately 5.89% of the Ordinary Shares; (iii) Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh directly beneficially owns 5,729,055 Ordinary Shares consisting of 5,310,455 Ordinary Shares and 418,600 currently exercisable call options, which constitutes approximately 8.95% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding; (iv) Oussama Abu-Ghazaleh directly beneficially owns 3,933,789 Ordinary Shares, which constitutes approximately 6.15% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding ; (v) Maher Abu-Ghazaleh directly beneficially owns 3,529,400 Ordinary Shares consisting of 3,510,650 Ordinary Shares and 18,750 currently exercisable call options, which constitutes approximately 5.51% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding; (vi) Amir Abu-Ghazaleh directly beneficially owns 3,993,596 Ordinary Shares consisting of 3,974,846 Ordinary Shares and 18,750 currently exercisable call options, which constitutes approximately 6.24% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding; (vii) Fatima Abu-Ghazaleh directly beneficially owns 217,956 Ordinary Shares, which constitutes approximately 0.34% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding; (viii) Nariman Abu-Ghazaleh directly beneficially owns 218,956 Ordinary Shares, which constitutes approximately 0.34% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding; (ix) Maha Abu-Ghazaleh directly beneficially owns 187,134 Ordinary Shares, which constitutes approximately 0.29% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding; (x) Wafa Abu-Ghazaleh directly beneficially owns 221,956

As a result of the Abu-Ghazaleh Investors’ shared voting power with respect to the Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Voting Agreement, each individual Reporting Person who is an Abu-Ghazaleh Investor may be deemed to beneficially own the 22,057,464 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 34.46% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares. However, Such Reporting Persons do not share dispositive power with respect to the Ordinary Shares directly held by other Reporting Persons.

 

  (c) Other than as set forth in Item 3 above, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, the Reporting Persons have not effected any transactions in the Ordinary Shares during the 60-day period prior to the date hereof.

 

  (d) No other person is known by any of the Reporting Persons to have the right to receive or power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

 

  (e) Due to the disposition of all Ordinary Shares owned directly by IAT upon consummation of the transactions under the Additional IAT Repurchase Agreements, IAT is no longer required to be a reporting person under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the related rules promulgated thereunder. In light of the foregoing, IAT will no longer file a statement on Schedule 13D unless and until such time as it is required to be a reporting person under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.
