Forward Contracts
The Reporting Persons entered into forward contracts providing for the purchase by such Reporting Persons of an aggregate of 15,500,000 Shares at a forward price of $60.00 per share, for an aggregate forward price of $930 million, plus a financing charge.

In addition, the Reporting Persons paid the counterparty to such forward contracts an aggregate amount of approximately $116.3 million upon entering into such forward contracts. The forward contracts would have expired on June 16, 2017.
The forward contracts provided for physical settlement, with the Reporting Person retaining the right to elect cash settlement. The forward contracts did not give any Reporting Persons direct or indirect voting, investment or dispositive control over the Shares to which such contracts related. On August 31, 2015, the Reporting Persons exercised all such forward contracts and thereby acquired 15,500,000 Shares, in the aggregate.
Call Options
The Reporting Persons purchased, in the over the counter market, American-style call options referencing an aggregate of 2,665,530 Shares, which would have expired on November 15, 2015.
The agreements provided for physical settlement (unless the Reporting Person opted for a cash settlement). These agreements did not give the Reporting Persons direct or indirect voting, investment or dispositive control over the Shares to which these agreements related. On August 31, 2015, the Reporting Persons exercised all such call options and thereby acquired 2,665,530 Shares, in the aggregate.
Put Options
The Reporting Persons have sold, in the over the counter market, European-style put options referencing an aggregate of 2,665,530 Shares, which expired on the date on which the corresponding American-style call option described above under "Call Options" in this Item 6 was exercised.
The agreements provided for cash settlement. These agreements did not give the Reporting Persons direct or indirect voting, investment or dispositive control over the Shares to which these agreements related. On August 31, 2015, upon exercise of the call options, all of such put options terminated.
Except as otherwise described herein, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 and between such persons and any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
