On April 3, 2016, the Issuer entered into an investment agreement (the "Investment Agreement") with A-G Holdings, L.P. ("Atairos"), relating to the issuance to Atairos of $250 million principal amount of the Issuer's 3.25% Senior Convertible Notes due 2022.

The Voting Agreement will terminate when Atairos owns less than 66.7% of the Issuer's outstanding Class A Common Stock or Common Stock, as applicable (on an as-converted basis), owned by Atairos immediately following the Closing.

As a result of the Voting Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a "group" with the parties to the Voting Agreement, including Lefkofsky, Keywell, Atairos, and certain of their respective affiliates.

The percentage of outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by each Reporting Person is set forth on Line 13 of such Reporting Person's cover sheet.
