The Reporting Person intends to review his investment in the Issuer on an ongoing basis and, in the course of his review, may take actions (including through his affiliates) with respect to his investment or the Issuer, including communicating with the board of directors of the Issuer (the Board), members of management or other securityholders of the Issuer, or other third parties from time to time, taking steps to implement a course of action, including, without limitation, engaging advisors, including legal, financial, regulatory, technical and/or industry advisors, to assist in any review, and evaluating strategic alternatives as they may become available. Such discussions and other actions may relate to, subject to the terms and conditions of the documents described herein to which the Reporting Person is a party, various alternative courses of action, including, without limitation, those related to an extraordinary corporate transaction (including, but not limited to a merger, reorganization or liquidation) involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; business combinations involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; material asset purchases; the formation of joint ventures with the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries or the entry into other material projects; changes in the present business, operations, strategy, future plans or prospects of the Issuer, financial or governance matters; changes to the Board (including board composition) or management of the Issuer; acting as a participant in debt financings of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, dividend policy, business or corporate structure or governance documents of the Issuer; de-listing or de-registration of the Issuers securities, or any action similar to those enumerated above.

Such discussions and actions may be preliminary and exploratory in nature, and not rise to the level of a plan or proposal. Subject to the terms and conditions of the documents described herein to which the Reporting Person is a party, the Reporting Person may seek to acquire securities of the Issuer, including Class A Ordinary Shares and/or other equity, debt, notes or other financial instruments related to the Issuer or the Class A Ordinary Shares (which may include rights or securities exercisable or convertible into securities of the Issuer), and/or sell or otherwise dispose of some or all of such Issuer securities or financial instruments (which may include distributing some or all of such securities to the Reporting Persons respective partners or beneficiaries, as applicable) from time to time, in each case, in open market or private transactions, block sales or otherwise. Any transaction that the Reporting Person may pursue, subject to the terms and conditions of the documents described herein to which the Reporting Person is a party, may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will depend on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the price and availability of the Issuers securities or other financial instruments, the Reporting Persons trading and investment strategies, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer, the Issuers business and the Issuers prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to the Reporting Person, general industry and economic conditions, the securities markets in general, tax considerations and other factors deemed relevant by the Reporting Person.

In his capacity as a director of the Issuer, the Reporting Person intends to continue taking an active role in the Issuers management. Also, subject to applicable approvals from the compensation committee of the board of directors of the Board, the Reporting Person may receive additional securities of the Issuer in connection with its compensation program.

Except as described in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Person does not have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. However, subject to the agreements described herein, as part of his ongoing evaluation of this investment and investment alternatives, the Reporting Person may consider such matters and, subject to applicable law, may formulate a plan or proposal with respect to such matters, and, from time to time, may hold discussions with or make formal proposals to management or the Board, other stockholders of the Issuer or other third parties regarding such matters.

As such, the Issuer possesses power to direct the voting of the shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person with respect to the matters provided in the Shareholders Agreement.
