Effective June 12, 2017, Evan Guillemin, a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Issuer, Chairman of the Compensation Committee, and member of the Audit Committee, resigned from the Board and all committees thereof. Mr. Guillemin’s resignation is not due to any disagreements with the Issuer on any matters relating to its operations, policies or practices.
As a result of his resignation, Mr. Guillemin is no longer deemed to be a member of the group described in this statement, and the shares of Common Stock directly owned by him are no longer deemed to be beneficially owned by such group.

Due to their relationships with the SEG Direct Holders, each of Select Equity, SEG Holdings, SEG II Holdings and Mr. Loening may be deemed to have shared voting and investment power with respect to the Equity Interests beneficially owned by the SEG Direct Holders.  As such, Select Equity, SEG Holdings, SEG II Holdings and Mr. Loening may be deemed to have shared beneficial ownership over such Equity Interests.  SEG and SEG Holdings disclaim beneficial ownership of the Equity Interests held directly by SEG II and SEG Offshore; SEG II and SEG II Holdings disclaim beneficial ownership of the Equity Interests held directly by SEG and SEG Offshore; and SEG Offshore disclaims beneficial ownership of the Equity Interests held directly by SEG and SEG II.
Additionally, by virtue of the various agreements and arrangements among the SEG Funds described in this Schedule 13D and the Non-SEG Voting Members, the Non-SEG Voting Members may be deemed to be members of a “group” with the Reporting Persons.  None of the Non-SEG Voting Members are Reporting Persons on this Schedule 13D, and any obligations that any of them may have under Section 13(d) of the Act would have to be satisfied on one or more separate filings.  To the extent that any Non-SEG Voting Member beneficially owns Equity Interests, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own any such Equity Interests but expressly disclaim, to the extent permitted by applicable law, beneficial ownership thereof.
