          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">On January&#160;22, 2023, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with the Purchasers and, for certain purposes, Starboard Value&#160;LP and Jeffrey C. Smith, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to the Purchasers (i)&#160;an aggregate of 485,000,000 Series&#160;A Preferred Shares, for an aggregate purchase price of $485.0&#160;million, and (ii)&#160;an aggregate of 251,163 Common Purchased Shares, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $15.0&#160;million.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to such securities. Except as otherwise indicated, each selling shareholder listed below has sole voting and investment power with respect to the common shares beneficially owned by it. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities ( other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</font>
