        <footnote id="F5">In connection with the Offering and pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the underwriters exercised their option (the &quot;Over-Allotment Option&quot;) to purchase additional Common Shares from the selling shareholders. The Over-Allotment Option closed simultaneously with the Offering on September 18, 2018. The GS Investors sold an additional 1,545,359 Common Shares pursuant to the underwriters' exercise of the Over-Allotment Option.</footnote>
