        <footnote id="F1">Trian Partners Strategic Co-Investment Fund-A, L.P.

        <footnote id="F2">(FN 2, contd.) In this transaction, simultaneously with the purchase of the call option, Coinvest Fund-A also sold a put option to the counterparty for the same number of shares pursuant to which, if on or prior to June 8, 2018 (the &quot;Exercise Date&quot;) the exercise price per share of the call option were greater than the closing price of the shares on the Exercise Date (the &quot;Closing Price&quot;), the counterparty would be entitled to cause Coinvest Fund-A, at its election to either (i) pay the counterparty an amount in cash equal to the product of (a) the excess of the exercise price per share pursuant to such option (the &quot;Exercise Price&quot;) over the Closing Price and (b) the number of shares set forth above or (ii) acquire from the counterparty the number of shares set forth above at the Exercise Price.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">The put-call option was previously reported at an exercise price of $38.4468 but, in accordance with the terms of the underlying agreements, the exercise price was adjusted to reflect any dividends paid with respect to the indicated shares and the financing fee paid to the counterparty.</footnote>
