(a) The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 24,757,502 Shares, representing approximately 9.72% of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares (based upon the 254,586,109 Shares stated to be outstanding as of September 30, 2017 by the Issuer in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 30, 2017).

The Reporting Persons have agreed to act in concert with Mr. Deason and his affiliates with respect to the matters described in the Joint Statement and their contemplated joint solicitation of proxies for the Issuer’s 2018 annual meeting. Based on the foregoing, the Reporting Persons and Mr. Deason and his affiliates have formed a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”). The group may be deemed to beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) all of the Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons and all of the Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Deason and his affiliates. Such group may be deemed to beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), in the aggregate, 40,079,843 Shares (including 6,741,572 Shares issuable upon the conversion of 180,000 Xerox Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, owned by Mr. Deason and his affiliates), constituting approximately 15.74% of the 254,586,109 Shares outstanding (based upon the 254,586,109 Shares stated to be outstanding as of September 30, 2017 by the Issuer in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 30, 2017). However, the Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of the 15,322,341 Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Deason and his affiliates (including the 6,741,572 Shares issuable upon the conversion of 180,000 Xerox Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, owned by Mr. Deason and his affiliates). The Reporting Persons expressly retain the sole voting and investment power of the Shares that the Reporting Persons beneficially own. Mr. Deason and his affiliates have filed a separate Schedule 13D with respect to their interests.
