Item 4 Ownership

Ownership information with respect to GIC Private Limited (“GIC PL”), GIC Special Investments Private Limited (“GIC SI”) and Magny Cours Investment Pte Ltd. (“Magny Cours” and together with GIC PL and GIC SI, the “Reporting Persons”) is incorporated by reference through items (5) through (9) and (11) of the cover page for each entity.

Calculations of the percentage of subordinate voting shares of the Issuer beneficially owned assume 314,301,365 subordinated voting shares outstanding as of September 30, 2020, as reported in the Form 6-K filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2020.  Each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the subordinated voting shares listed on such Reporting Person’s cover page.

GIC PL directly holds 516,937 subordinate voting shares of the Issuer.

GIC PL is a fund manager and only has two clients – the Government of Singapore (“GoS”) and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (“MAS”).  Under the investment management agreement with GoS, GIC PL has been given the sole discretion to exercise the voting rights attached to, and the disposition of, any shares managed on behalf of GoS.  As such, of the subordinate voting shares of the Issuer directly held by it, GIC PL has the sole power to vote and power to dispose of 471,861 subordinate voting units of the Issuer beneficially owned by it and shares power to vote and dispose of 45,076 subordinate voting units of the Issuer beneficially owned by it with MAS.

By virtue of certain rights that Magny Cours has with respect to its investment in GFL Borrower II (Cayman) LP (“GFL Borrower”), Magny Cours may be deemed to share dispositive power over 30,525,425 subordinate voting shares of the Issuer held by GFL Borrower with GFL Borrower.  Neither the filing of this Schedule 13G nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person is a member of a group with GFL Borrower, GFL Borrower GP II (Cayman), Ltd as general partner of GFL Borrower or any of their respective affiliates for the purposes of Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”).  Each of GFL Borrower GP II (Cayman), Ltd, GFL Borrower and the Reporting Persons and their respective affiliates are separately making a Schedule 13G filing reporting the subordinated voting shares they may be deemed to beneficially own. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of any subordinated voting shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by GFL Borrower, GFL Borrower GP II (Cayman), Ltd and their respective affiliates.

Magny Cours is wholly owned by GIC SI. GIC SI is wholly owned by GIC PL and is the private equity investment arm of GIC PL. GIC PL is wholly owned by the Government of Singapore and was set up with the sole purpose of managing Singapore's foreign reserves. The Government of Singapore disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares. Consequently, GIC PL and GIC SI may also be deemed to share dispositive power with Magny Cours over the 30,525,425 subordinate voting shares of the Issuer held by GFL Borrower.
