Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On September 16, 2018, Starboard Value LP and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Starboard”) entered into an agreement with the Issuer (the “Agreement”) regarding the composition of the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), including the appointment of Peter A. Feld, Dale L. Fuller and Richard S. Hill as directors of the Issuer, each of whom Starboard had nominated for election to the Board at the Issuer’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2018 Annual Meeting”), and certain other matters. The following description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Issuer agreed to immediately appoint Messrs. Feld and Fuller (collectively, the “Initial Appointees”) to the Board. The Initial Appointees will stand for election at the 2018 Annual Meeting together with the Issuer’s other director nominees, Greg Clark, Frank E. Dangeard, Kenneth Hao, David Humphrey, David L. Mahoney, Anita M. Sands, Daniel H. Schulman, V. Paul Unruh and Suzanne M. Vautrinot (collectively, the “Continuing Directors”) and, if applicable, the Additional Independent Appointee (as defined below) and the Mutual Independent Appointee (as defined below). The Issuer further agreed that, no later than thirty (30) days following the 2018 Annual Meeting, the Board will appoint (i) Mr. Hill (the “Additional Independent Appointee” and, together with the Initial Appointees, the “New Appointees”) as a director of the Issuer, and (ii) one (1) additional independent director (the “Mutual Independent Appointee”) to be selected by the Board from a mutually agreed-upon list of three (3) to five (5) Mutual Independent Appointee candidates (the “Mutual Independent Appointee List”).  In addition, the Issuer agreed that during the period commencing with the date of the Agreement through the date that Mr. Hill is appointed to the Board as the Additional Independent Appointee, Mr. Hill will be an observer to the Board.

The Issuer also agreed, among other things: (i) to recommend, support and solicit proxies for the election of the Initial Appointees and, if applicable, the Additional Independent Appointee and the Mutual Independent Appointee, at the 2018 Annual Meeting in the same manner as the Issuer recommends, supports, and solicits proxies for the election of the Continuing Directors; (ii) to appoint Mr. Feld to the Nominating and Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”) and the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee; (iii) to appoint Mr. Fuller to the Nominating Committee; (iv) to appoint Mr. Hill to the Audit Committee; (v) that during the Standstill Period (as defined below), each committee and subcommittee of the Board, including any new committee(s) and subcommittee(s) that may be established, shall include at least one (1) New Appointee, provided that each such New Appointee satisfies certain criteria for appointment to any such committee(s); (vi) to use its reasonable best efforts to schedule and hold the 2018 Annual Meeting as promptly as reasonably practicable upon finalizing and filing its financial statements with the SEC; and (vii) that senior management will hold operating review meetings on a monthly basis to which all members of the Board (including the New Appointees) will be invited to participate. During the Standstill Period, the Issuer also agreed that the size of the Board shall be no more than thirteen (13) directors unless Starboard consents in writing to any proposal to increase the size of the Board or if the Issuer’s stockholders take such actions to increase the size of the Board.

The Agreement also provides that if any New Appointee, including any replacement(s) thereof, is unable or unwilling to serve as a director, resigns as a director or is removed as a director prior to the expiration of the Standstill Period and at such time and at all times since the date of the Agreement Starboard beneficially owns at least the lesser of (i) three percent (3.0%) of the Issuer’s then outstanding Shares and (ii) 18,952,038 Shares (subject to adjustment for stock splits, reclassifications, combinations and similar adjustments) (such lesser amount, the “Minimum Ownership Threshold”), then Starboard has the ability to recommend a substitute person to serve on the Board (including any committee(s) or subcommittee(s), as applicable), who meets certain criteria, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Additionally, if the Mutual Independent Appointee (or any replacement thereof) is unable or unwilling to serve as a director, resigns as a director or is removed as a director prior to the expiration of the Standstill Period and at such time and at all times since the date of the Agreement Starboard meets the Minimum Ownership Threshold, then the Board will appoint one (1) candidate to the Board from the Mutual Independent Appointee List (as may be supplemented from time to time by mutual agreement of Starboard and the Issuer); provided, however, in the event that Starboard initially designated the Mutual Independent Appointee in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, then Starboard will be entitled to designate a replacement candidate from the Mutual Independent Appointee List.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Issuer agreed that in the event that the 2018 Annual Meeting is not held by December 4, 2018, the Board will accept the resignation tendered by Robert S. Miller and immediately appoint to the Board Mr. Hill as the Additional Independent Appointee, who shall stand for election to the Board at the 2018 Annual Meeting, together with the Initial Appointees and the Continuing Directors. The Issuer further agreed that in the event that the 2018 Annual Meeting is not held by January 4, 2019, the Board will accept the resignation tendered by Geraldine B. Laybourne and immediately appoint to the Board the Mutual Independent Appointee, who shall be designated by Starboard, in its sole discretion, from the Mutual Independent Appointee List and who shall stand for election to the Board at the 2018 Annual Meeting, together with the New Appointees and the Continuing Directors.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Starboard agreed, among other things: (i) to withdraw its nominations for the 2018 Annual Meeting and not nominate or recommend any person for election at the 2018 Annual Meeting; (ii) not to submit any proposal for consideration at, or bring any other business before, the 2018 Annual Meeting; (iii) not to initiate, encourage or participate in any “vote no,” “withhold” or similar campaign with respect to the 2018 Annual Meeting; and (iv) to appear in person or by proxy at the 2018 Annual Meeting and vote all Shares beneficially owned by Starboard (a) in favor of the Issuer’s nominees, including the Continuing Directors, the Initial Appointees, the Additional Independent Appointee, if applicable, and the Mutual Independent Appointee, if applicable, (b) in favor of the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as the Issuer’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2019 fiscal year, (c) in accordance with the Board’s recommendation with respect to the Issuer’s “say-on-pay” proposal, and (d) in accordance with the Board’s recommendation with respect to any other Issuer proposal or stockholder proposal presented at the 2018 Annual Meeting; provided, however, that in the event Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (ISS) or Glass Lewis & Co., LLC (Glass Lewis) recommends otherwise with respect to the Issuer’s “say-on-pay” proposal or any other Issuer proposal or stockholder proposal presented at the 2018 Annual Meeting (other than proposals relating to the election of directors), Starboard shall be permitted to vote in accordance with the ISS or Glass Lewis recommendation. 

Starboard also agreed to certain customary standstill provisions, effective as of the date of the Agreement through the earlier of (i) fifteen (15) business days prior to the deadline for the submission of stockholder nominations for the Issuer’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to the Issuer’s Bylaws or (ii) ninety (90) days prior to the first anniversary of the 2018 Annual Meeting (the “Standstill Period”). The standstill provisions generally prohibit Starboard from taking specified actions with respect to the Issuer and its securities, including, among others: (i) soliciting or participating in the solicitation of proxies; (ii) joining any “group” or becoming party to any voting arrangement or agreement; (iii) seeking or knowingly encouraging others to submit nominations for election or removal of directors; (iv) making stockholder proposals or offers with respect to mergers, acquisitions and other business combinations; or (v) seeking Board representation other than as provided in the Agreement.

On September 17, 2018, the Issuer and Starboard jointly issued a mutually agreeable press release to announce their entry into the Agreement.
