Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
  
 
 
Mr. Cotter is Co-Trustee and beneficiary of the James J. Cotter Living Trust, dated August 1, 2000, as amended (the “Trust”), which owns of record 2,115,539 shares of Class A Non-Voting Common Stock, 1,023,888 shares of Class B Common Stock, and options to acquire 100,000 shares of Class B Common Stock.

James J. Cotter, Sr. (Mr. Cotter’s father), the original Trustor and Trustee of the Trust, passed away on September 13, 2014, at which time the Trust became irrevocable. The Trust provides that upon the death of James J. Cotter, Sr., the 1,023,888 shares of Class B Common Stock and options to acquire 100,000 shares of Class B Common Stock owned by the Trust are to be held by the Reading Voting Trust, primarily for the benefit of the grandchildren of James J. Cotter, Sr.

The Reading Voting Trust is held, administered and distributed by Mr. Cotter and Ann Margaret Cotter, as initial Co-Trustees. The Trust also provides that if Mr. Cotter and Ms. Cotter are unable to agree upon an important Trust decision, they will rotate the Trusteeship of the Reading Voting Trust between them annually each January 1st, so that thereafter there will only be one Trustee acting at any given time.
 
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction
  
 
The Trust holds the shares of Class B Common Stock reported herein for investment purposes, and directs that the Co-Trustees retain the Class B Common Stock for as long as possible and not diversify its investments. The Co-Trustees consider their family’s holdings in the Company to be a long term family asset, and intend to continue the Company in the direction established by their father. Mr. Cotter, in cooperation with the other Co-Trustee, intends to manage the Trust’s investment in Class B Common Stock consistent with such directions.

Mr. Cotter is also a Director and President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and expects to be involved in the development, analysis and/or review from time to time of transactions involving the Company, including the transactions identified in clauses (a) through (j) of Instructions to Item 4. Mr. Cotter considers his involvement in such development, analysis and/or review process to be principally that of an officer and director of the Company, and accordingly, does not anticipate making disclosure of his participation in the review and evaluation of such possible transactions, separate and apart from relevant disclosures that may be made from time to time by the Company.
