MSD Aqua Partners and certain affiliates of CCMP Capital Advisors, LP ("CCMP") and Alberta Investment Management Corporation ("AIMCo") are parties to a Stockholders' Agreement ("Stockholders' Agreement") with the Issuer, which contains, among other things, certain provisions relating to the timing and manner of disposition of shares of the Issuer.
