(d) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons or, to their knowledge, none of the Covered Persons, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e) On December 17, 2018, the SEC announced that Alternatives Advisers, without admitting or denying any wrongdoing, consented to the entry of an order (the Order) by the SEC focused solely on certain expense allocations relating to the Business Services Platform (the BSP), a team within the Dyal Capital Partners (Dyal) division focused on providing client development, talent management, operational advisory and other services to the partner managers in which the Dyal funds invest. Following the completion of the Blue Owl transaction (as described below), no businesses of Alternatives Advisers utilize the BSP and allocates the expense associated with the BSP to an Alternatives Advisers-advised fund. The SEC Order had no finding of intentional wrongdoing or fraud, and found that the issues relating to the BSP expenses ceased in 2017. According to the SEC Order, with respect to certain of the Dyal funds, the Dyal funds manager did not appropriately allocate a portion of the BSP expenses to certain Dyal funds and did not have proper policies and procedures in place to ensure that all allocations were related to the utilization of the BSP. The SEC Order required Alternatives Advisers to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and future violations of Sections 206(2) and 206(4) of the Advisers Act, as amended, and Rules 206(4)-7 and 206(4)-8 thereunder. Alternatives Advisers agreed as part of the settlement to pay disgorgement of $2,073,988 (plus prejudgment interest of $284,620) to certain Dyal funds covering 2012-2016, and pay a civil monetary penalty of $375,000 to the SEC. The civil monetary penalty was satisfied on January 3, 2019. The disgorgement and prejudgment interest was satisfied on June 7, 2019. On May 19, 2021, the strategic combination between Dyal and Owl Rock Capital Group became effective, and Dyal is now part of Blue Owl Capital Inc. (Blue Owl), a company that trades on the NYSE as OWL.

Other than as disclosed in the foregoing paragraph, during the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons or, to their knowledge, none of the Covered Persons, has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Depending on various factors, including but not limited to the Companys financial position and strategic direction, price levels of the Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets, various laws and regulations applicable to the Company and companies in its industry and the Reporting Persons ownership in the Company, and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take actions with respect to their investment in the Company as they deem appropriate, including changing their current intentions, with respect to any or all matters required to be disclosed herein. Without limiting the foregoing, and subject to any applicable limitations described in Item 6 below, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, acquire or cause affiliates to acquire additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company (including any combination or derivative thereof), dispose, or cause affiliates to dispose, of some or all of their Common Stock or other securities of the Company or continue to hold, or cause affiliates to hold, Common Stock or other securities of the Company.

In addition, the Reporting Persons have had and intend to continue having discussions, from time to time, with management and the board of directors of the Company, and may engage with other stockholders or securityholders of the Company and other relevant parties, or take other actions concerning, the Companys business, lines of business, operations, strategy, previously announced restructuring, plans and prospects; any extraordinary corporate transactions (including, but not limited to, a merger, reorganization or liquidation); sales of a material amount of assets or divestitures; a change in the board of directors or management; a material change in the capitalization or dividend policies; other material changes in the Companys business, lines of business, or corporate structure; or similar actions.
