As described in Item 5 of Amendment No. 3, the Reporting Person distributed 4,442,114 shares of Common Stock on April 4, 2022 to its unitholders. Because such distribution occurred after the March 30, 2022 record date for the Issuer’s annual meeting (the “Annual Meeting”) disclosed in the preliminary proxy statement filed by the Issuer on March 31, 2022, the Reporting Person may be deemed to continue to have beneficial ownership over such shares through the date of the Annual Meeting. Of such distributed amount, 3,489,363 shares remain beneficially owned by other Reporting Persons on this statement. The Reporting Person denies beneficial ownership of the 902,026 shares as to which it granted an irrevocable proxy to the Issuer to vote at the Annual Meeting as described in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D.
