               After the capitalization of MergerSub was completed, REUS              
          and REBV contributed all of their shares of MergerSub voting                
          preferred stock and MergerSub participating preferred stock to              
          MB Parent in exchange for 100 percent of MB Parent voting                   
          preferred stock.  As a class, the MB Parent voting preferred                
          stock held by REUS and REBV was entitled to 80 percent of the               
          voting power of MB Parent and had the power to elect four of the            
          five directors of MB Parent.

          MB Parent.  MergerSub transferred the $1.375 billion from the               
          MergerSub Citibank account to a bank account that MB Parent                 
          maintained at Citibank (MB Parent Citibank account).
