Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The Funds expended an aggregate of approximately $156,324,544.36 of their own investment capital in direct transactions with the Issuer and in open market transactions to acquire the 34,004,850 shares of Common Stock held by them.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The initial and subsequent purchases of the Common Stock of the Issuer by the Reporting Persons were for investment purposes in the ordinary course of business, and not with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control or management of the Issuer and without any agreement with any third party to act together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of Common Stock of the Issuer. On June 9, 2015, the Reporting Persons learned of a contemplated public offering of additional Common Stock by the Issuer. On the same date, the Reporting Persons had discussions with representatives of the Issuer regarding such offering and the Reporting Persons indicated that they were not inclined to purchase additional shares of Common Stock in the offering on the terms proposed by the Company. In addition, representatives of the Reporting Persons indicated the terms on which they may be inclined to purchase additional shares of Common Stock, which terms included a right to designate representatives to the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”).

The Reporting Persons intend to meet and have discussions with members of the Board and senior management of the Issuer to discuss the Issuer’s business, strategies and capital structure, including a potential financing transaction with the Reporting Persons and/or their affiliates and improvements to the Issuer’s corporate governance.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors, including without limitation, the Issuer’s financial positions, results and strategic direction, price level of the Common Stock, the Issuer’s and others’ response to the matters to be discussed with the Reporting Persons, actions taken by management of the Issuer and the Board, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, conditions in the securities and capital markets, and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time and at any time, in the future take such actions

with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, but not limited to: communication with management, the Board, other stockholders, industry participants and other interested and relevant parties about the Issuer and about various other items described in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D; requesting or proposing one or more nominees for election or appointment to the Board; purchasing additional securities of the Issuer in the open market or otherwise; entering into financial instruments or other agreements that increase or decrease the Reporting Persons’ economic exposure to their investment in the Issuer; and/or engaging in any hedging or similar transactions with respect to such holding. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to sell some or all of the Reporting Person’ respective holdings in the Issuer in the open market or otherwise, at any time and from time to time, and/or to otherwise change their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

The Reporting Persons do not have any present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) – (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon completion of any of the actions discussed herein.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) Each of MAC, MDRA GP and Monarch GP indirectly beneficially own 34,004,850 shares of Common Stock.

MDRF directly beneficially owns 14,127,172 shares of Common Stock, which represent 7.84% of the 180,299,695 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2014. The percentages used herein and in the rest of this Schedule 13D are calculated based upon a number of outstanding shares consisting of 180,299,695 shares of Common Stock reported as outstanding in the Company’s Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, dated as of June 9, 2015. None of the other individual Funds own a number of shares of Common Stock representing more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
