Currently, Radian beneficially owns and controls 48,494,680 Common Shares, representing approximately 34.25% of the currently issued and outstanding Common Shares after taking into account (i) the 25,068,000 Common Shares issued to Radian at a deemed issue price of $0.25 per share for a total deemed issuance of $6,267,000 pursuant to the Transaction; (ii) Radian's right to acquire up to an additional 20,216,129 Common Shares at a price of $0.31 per share pursuant to the conversion rights under the Convertible Note; and (iii) Radian's right to acquire up to an additional 3,210,551 Common Shares at a price of $0.31 per share pursuant to the conversion rights under the PIK Convertible Notes.

Although Radian may acquire ownership of additional common shares of Prestige, Convertible Notes and PIK Convertible Notes from time to time, including through the exercise of conversion rights and the issuance of additional convertible notes as "payment in kind" interest, it currently holds such securities for investment purposes and not with a view to acquiring additional control of or over Prestige.
