        <footnote id="F1">In addition to Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (&quot;Pershing Square&quot;), this Form 4 is being filed jointly by PS Management GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (&quot;PS Management&quot;), and William A. Ackman, a citizen of the United States of America (collectively, the &quot;Reporting Persons&quot;), each of whom has the same business address as Pershing Square and may be deemed to have a pecuniary interest in securities reported on this Form 4 (the &quot;Subject Securities&quot;).</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Pershing Square advises the accounts of Pershing Square, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (&quot;PS&quot;), Pershing Square International, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (&quot;PS International&quot;), and Pershing Square Holdings, Ltd., a limited liability company incorporated in Guernsey (&quot;PSH&quot; and together with PS and PS International, the &quot;Pershing Square Funds&quot;).  Pershing Square also managed the account of Pershing Square II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (&quot;PS II&quot;).  PS II distributed all Subject Securities to investors, on a pro-rata basis, pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan, the result of which was to change beneficial ownership from indirect to direct in a Rule 16a-13 exempt transaction (the &quot;Distribution&quot;).</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Pershing Square, as the investment adviser to the Pershing Square Funds, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Subject Securities for purposes of Rule 16a-1(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As the general partner of Pershing Square, PS Management may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Subject Securities for purposes of Rule 16a-1(a). By virtue of Mr. Ackman's position as Chief Executive Officer of Pershing Square and managing member of PS Management, Mr. Ackman may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Subject Securities for purposes of Rule 16a-1(a).  Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims any beneficial ownership of any of the Subject Securities, except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">This Form 4 is being filed as a result of Section 16 exempt gifts by Mr. William A. Ackman.  The number of shares (1,869,572) on the date of Distribution reflects the gifts to charity of 3 Subject Shares (on the account of the Reporting Persons) and the Distribution to investors (other than the Reporting Persons) of 11,224 Subject Securities.  In addition, on March 29, 2019, Mr. Ackman gifted to charity 6,862 Subject Shares.  All gifts were pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan.  The Reporting Persons did not sell any Common Stock.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F5">The Reporting Persons disclaim being directors by deputization for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.</footnote>
