(1) The calculation of the percentage is based on 71,719,664 Common Shares outstanding as of March 9, 2007, as reported in the Issuers Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on March 19, 2007.
(2) Represents Common Shares that are jointly owned with her husband, Don Bailey.
(3) Represents Common Shares that are held by the BSFT, of which Leslie R. Stanford and her husband are the investment advisors. Leslie Stanfords three children are the beneficiaries of the BSFT.
(4) Represents Common Shares that are held by MLSE. Markus Lehmann is the Chief Executive Officer of MLSE, and the sole stockholder of MLSE is Mayus. Markus Lehmann controls and is the sole beneficiary of Mayus.
(5) Represents (i) an option to purchase 10,000 Common Shares at an exercise price of $30 per Common Share, exercisable until May 19, 2007, (ii) an option to purchase 5,000 Common Shares at an exercise price of $35 per Common Share, exercisable until August 18, 2007 and (iii) an option to purchase 5,000 Common Shares at an exercise price of $30 per Common Share, exercisable until August 18, 2007.
(6) Jose Paulo Rodrigues Dinis da Silva may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the Common Shares held by him with his wife, Natalia Maria Felgueiras Ferreira.

As a result of such beneficial ownership, the Reporting Persons, together with Buyer, collectively would beneficially own, in the aggregate, a total of 21,005,205 Common Shares, or approximately 29.3% of the outstanding Common Shares of the Issuer. To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the Other Distributors (defined in Item 6) beneficially owns any Common Shares. By virtue of the
20
relationships among the Reporting Persons and Buyer, the Reporting Persons and Buyer may be deemed to constitute a group within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Act, and each Reporting Person and Buyer may therefore be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all Common Shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons and Buyer. Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D, any amendment hereto, nor any of their respective contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person, or Buyer, or any Joint Holder is the beneficial owner of the Common Shares of any other Reporting Person or Buyer referred to herein, or is a member of any group within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Act or for any other purpose. Each Reporting Person also disclaims any pecuniary interest in the Common Shares beneficially owned by any other Reporting Person or Buyer.

* On March 20, 2007, Buyer entered into an amended and restated non-binding letter of intent, replacing a previous non-binding letter of intent dated March 18, 2007, with Jose Paulo Rodrigues Dinis da Silva and his wife, Natalia Maria Felgueiras Ferreira, whereby they have indicated their interest in investing up to $1,500,000 (as opposed to $750,000 under the previous letter) in equity in a new entity to be formed by Buyer to consummate the Proposed Acquisition.
22
In addition, Buyer has entered into non-binding letters of intent with the following other Chairmans Club distributors of the Issuers products (the Other Distributors): Blake Morgan, Martin Ernst, Michael Palmstierna Hamilton, Christine M. Carley, Garry De Brabander, Janifer Cohn, James Chen Ming Chieh, Yang Mo Li, Geraldine Cvitanovich and Pedro Cardoso. To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, the Other Distributors have indicated their interest in investing up to $38,000,000. Taken together, the Reporting Persons, the Joint Holders and the Other Distributors have indicated their interest in investing up to $138,900,000, in the aggregate, in equity in a new entity to be formed by Buyer to consummate the Proposed Acquisition.
The Reporting Persons, the Joint Holders and the Other Distributors interest in investing in the Proposed Acquisition is on a non-binding and non-exclusive basis. Accordingly, if the Issuer were to pursue a sale transaction with any other person, the Reporting Persons, the Joint Holders and the Other Distributors would be free to participate in the other transaction. In addition, the Reporting Persons, the Joint Holders and the Other Distributors interest in investing in the new entity to be formed by Buyer to consummate the Proposed Acquisition is also subject, among other things, to the ability of eligible Presidents Team members of the Issuer to also make an investment in such new entity, if the Proposed Acquisition proceeds and such investment is legally permitted. The Reporting Persons understand that Buyer is in discussions and expects to continue discussions with certain other distributors regarding entering into similar non-binding letters of intent.
The non-binding letters of intent for the Reporting Persons are attached hereto as Exhibits B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M and N.
