As contemplated by the NRG Merger Agreement and the Support Agreement, on December 6, 2022, the Blackstone Entities and certain other stockholders unaffiliated with the Reporting Persons executed a written consent in lieu of a meeting stockholders pursuant to Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which among other things, approved the NRG Merger Agreement, the NRG Merger and the transactions and agreements contemplated thereby.
