As a result of the Class C Dividend, pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the applicable incentive plan of the Issuer, all outstanding Class A share appreciation rights (SARs) previously reported by the Reporting Person were adjusted by allocating the exercise price of the original Class A SAR between a SAR based on Class A ordinary shares and a SAR based on Class C ordinary shares and all outstanding Class C SARs previously reported by the Reporting Person were adjusted by doubling the number of shares and reducing by half the base price. All other terms of the additional or adjusted Class C SARs are, in all material respects, the same as those of the corresponding original SARs.

All other terms of the awards and the terms of the LiLAC Awards are, in all material respects, the same as those of the corresponding original award. The SARs are immediately exercisable.
