On May 20, 2018, Corvex, Corvex Master Fund LP and Corvex Select Equity Master Fund LP (the “Corvex Parties”) and High River Limited Partnership, Icahn Partners LP and Icahn Partners Master Fund (the “Icahn Group”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Icahn Group agreed to purchase an

Under the Purchase Agreement, 1,250,000 Shares will be purchased on the second trading day following execution of the Purchase Agreement and 750,000 Shares will be purchased on the earlier of (x) July 18, 2018 or (y) one business day following the receipt by the Icahn Group of clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.

Morgan and Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co.), of the Issuer’s business plan, competitive positioning, and potential strategic alternatives.
