Since January 10, 2018, Mangrove Master Fund entered into a series of cash-settled total return swap agreements with each of Morgan Stanley Capital Services LLC and Barclays Bank PLC as counterparties (the “Swaps”) that establish economic exposure to an aggregate of 7,085,989 notional Shares (the “Subject Shares”), representing in the aggregate approximately 6.5% of the outstanding Shares. The Swaps provide Mangrove Master Fund with economic exposure that is comparable to the economic exposure of ownership but do not provide it with the power to vote or direct the voting of or to dispose or direct the disposition of the Subject Shares. The Reporting Persons hereby expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of the Subject Shares.
On November 15, 2018, the Reporting Persons entered into a Joint Filing Agreement pursuant to which the Reporting Persons agreed to the joint filing on behalf of each of them of statements on Schedule 13D with respect to the securities of the Issuer to the extent required by applicable law.
