2.All other information provided in the Exemption Request regarding Engaged Capital’s holdings and interests in the securities of the Company, including as through Derivative Instruments, is a complete and accurate description of your holdings and interests in the securities of the Company as of the date of the Exemption Request and the date of Engaged Capital’s execution of this letter.
3.Engaged Capital Beneficially Owned 4.9% or more of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock as of April 29, 2022, the date of the adoption of the Plan, and has continuously owned 4.9% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock since such time, and has the status, as of such date, of a Grandfathered Person.
