By virtue of CIC being the parent of CIC International, which is the parent of both Stable and Best, CIC may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the Common Stock held by each of the Investment Vehicles. Additionally, by virtue of the various agreements and arrangements described in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a “group” with the Investment Vehicles and Brookfield Asset Management Inc., Partners Limited, Brookfield Holdings Canada Inc., Brookfield Asset Management Private Institutional Capital Adviser (Canada) LP, Brookfield Private Funds Holdings Inc., Brookfield US Holdings Inc., Brookfield US Corporation, and Future Fund Board of Guardians (collectively, the “Other Filers”) with respect to the shares of Common Stock held by the Investment Vehicles as well as any other shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Other Filers. None of the Investment Vehicles or the Other Filers is a Reporting Person on this Schedule 13D, and any obligations any of them may have under Section 13(d) of the Act would have to be satisfied on one or more separate filings. Each Reporting Person expressly disclaims, to the extent permitted by applicable law, beneficial ownership of the shares reported herein as well as any other shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Other Filers.
