Given the terms of the Shareholders Agreement, the Blackstone Funds and Warburg Pincus Investors may have been deemed to be members of a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Each Reporting Person expressly disclaims beneficial ownership with respect to any Common Stock other than the Common Stock owned of record by such Reporting Person. On November 28, 2018, each of the Blackstone Funds and Warburg Pincus Investors waived certain rights under the Shareholders Agreement, including any rights to nominate and/or designate persons to serve on the Issuer’s board of directors, and no longer may be deemed to be members of a group by virtue of the Shareholders Agreement.
