<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">Completion of the Acquisition is not subject to a financing condition, and the Company has warranted that it will have sufficient funds on hand, when combined with any debt financing for the Acquisition, to fulfill its obligations under the Purchase Agreement.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the foregoing conditions and the other terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Acquisition is expected to close during the third quarter of 2018.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">In connection with the entry into the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a commitment letter (the &ldquo;Financing Commitment Letter&rdquo;) with Bank of America, N.A. (&ldquo;BOA&rdquo;) and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner &amp; Smith Incorporated (&ldquo;MLPFS&rdquo; and together with BOA, collectively, the &ldquo;Commitment Parties&rdquo;) pursuant to which the Commitment Parties have agreed to arrange and provide the Company with a senior secured incremental term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $465 million, available to the Company in Dollars or Euros, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Financing Commitment Letter (the &ldquo;Incremental Term Loan&rdquo;), the proceeds of which will be applied to pay the purchase price payable at the closing of the Acquisition, repay existing bank indebtedness of the Target Group Companies and pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Acquisition.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">The Financing Commitment Letter contemplates that the Incremental Term Loan will: (i) bear interest at the same interest rate and interest rate margins applicable to the Company&rsquo;s existing term loan facility (the &ldquo;Existing Term Loan&rdquo;) outstanding under its Amended and Restated Syndicated Facility Agreement dated as of August 8, 2017 (the &ldquo;Existing Facility&rdquo;), (ii) amortize in equal quarterly principal installments in an amount equal to 1.875% of the initial principal amount of the Incremental Term Loan, (iii) mature on August 8, 2022, (iv) share ratably in optional and mandatory prepayments with the Existing Term Loan, and (v) otherwise be on all the same terms and conditions as the Existing Term Loan. The Existing Term Loan is summarized under Item 1.01 of the Company&rsquo;s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 9, 2017, which summary is incorporated herein by reference for the purpose of summarizing the Incremental Term Loan. BOA has committed to fund the full principal amount of the Incremental Term Loan, subject to the terms and conditions of the Commitment Letter.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">The Commitment Letter also provides that MLPFS will solicit the consent of the lenders under the Existing Facility to amend such facility to permit the Incremental Term Loan and to make other changes necessitated by the Acquisition, including amending financial covenants to accommodate the Acquisition and the indebtedness the Company will incur to complete it. In the event the requisite lenders under the Existing Facility do not consent to the proposed amendments, BOA has committed to fund the full principal amount of a &lsquo;backstop&rsquo; replacement credit facility with terms identical in all material respects to the terms of the Existing Facility, as such terms are proposed to be amended to accommodate the Acquisition.</p>

It is contemplated that the new senior secured facilities will have a five-year maturity.</p>
