The number of shares reported as beneficially owned by ACM LLC and ACCM LLC include 24,429 shares of Common Stock held by Franklin K2, for which ACM LLC has the authority to vote and to make investment decisions.  The number of shares reported as beneficially owned by Belenos Management include 160,471 shares of Common Stock held by Amundi Fund, for which Belenos Management has the authority to vote and to make investment decisions.  The number of shares reported as beneficially owned by SA Management include 23,704 shares of Common Stock held by FTIF-Franklin K2, for which SA Management has the authority to vote and to make investment decisions.  The number of shares reported as beneficially owned by Arrowhead Management include 639,491 shares of Common Stock held by SBCERA, for which Arrowhead Management has the authority to vote and to make investment decisions.  The number of shares reported as beneficially owned by Capital Management include, among others, 270,815 shares of Common Stock held by K2 Apollo, for which Capital Management has the authority to vote and to make investment decisions.  The shares of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by ACM LLC, ACCM LLC, Belenos Management, SA Management and Arrowhead Management are also included in the shares reported as beneficially owned by Capital Management, Capital Management GP, Management Holdings and Management Holdings GP. The shares of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned also include an aggregate of 400,000 shares of Common Stock subject to call options held by Credit Strategies, AA Credit LP, A-N Credit, Franklin K2, Amundi Fund and K2 Apollo.

 

The number of shares reported as beneficially owned do not include an aggregate of 429,644 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 of the Issuer (the “3.5% Notes”) that are held by certain of the Reporting Persons or funds managed by certain of the Reporting Persons.  Prior to August 1, 2018, the 3.5% Notes are convertible upon satisfaction of certain conditions, none of which are currently satisfied.  If one of the conditions is satisfied, the Reporting Persons would beneficially own a total of 2,182,220 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 6.2% of the outstanding Common Stock.

 

The number of shares of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned also excludes cash-settled swaps held by Credit Strategies and A-N Credit, respectively, representing economic exposure comparable to 1,274,312 additional shares of Common Stock, which if aggregated with the shares reported as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons and the shares issuable upon conversion of the 3.5% Notes, represent an aggregate economic interest in 3,456,532 shares representing approximately 9.9% of the outstanding shares.  The swaps provide the Reporting Persons with economic results that are comparable to the economic results of ownership but do not provide them with the power to vote or direct the voting or dispose of or direct the disposition of the shares.

 

Credit Strategies, AA Credit LP and A-N Credit each disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of the Common Stock included in this report other than the shares of Common Stock held of record by such Reporting Person, and the filing of this report shall not be construed as an admission that any such person or entity is the beneficial owner of any such securities for purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose.  ST Management, ST Operating, ST Capital, ST Management Holdings, AA Credit Management, A-N Credit Management, ACM LLC, ACCM LLC, Belenos Management, SA Management, Arrowhead Management, Capital Management, Capital Management GP, Management Holdings and Management Holdings GP, and Messrs. Leon Black, Joshua Harris and Marc Rowan, the managers, as well as executive officers, of Management Holdings GP, each disclaim beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock included in this report, and the filing of this report shall not be construed as an admission that any such person or entity is the beneficial owner of any such securities for purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose.
