The reporting person undertakes to provide to the Company, any security holder of the Company or the SEC, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price. ( 4 )As previously disclosed, these RSUs were acquired by the reporting person as a result of the conversion of restricted stock units of Maple Parent Holdings Corp. ("Maple") to restricted stock units of the Issuer pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 29, 2018, by and among Maple, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. and Salt Merger Sub, Inc.
