The other managing member of the Co-Invest Funds is Apollo Management VI, L.P. ("Apollo Management VI").

The shares of Common Stock held by Apollo Management VI and its affiliates (the "Apollo Entities"), excluding the Co-Invest Funds and Hamlet Holdings (as defined below), are not included in this Statement on Form 4, and none of Apollo Management VI the Apollo Entities is included herein as a Reporting Person.

The 2017 Proxy vests sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the Subject Shares in Hamlet Holdings, subject to the right of each Holder to terminate the 2017 Proxy with respect to the Subject Shares held by such Holder by written notice to the other Holders, and the termination of the 2017 Proxy with respect to any Subject Shares that are sold, transferred or other disposed of by Holdings or by any of the Holders in a transaction with a third party that is not affiliated with any of them. The 24,924,255 shares the TPG Funds and Co-Invest Funds disposed of in the transaction reported herein are no longer subject to the 2017 Proxy. Because of the relationship between the Reporting Persons and the TPG Funds and Co-Invest Funds, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own the securities reported herein to the extent of the greater of their respective direct or indirect pecuniary interests in the profits or capital accounts of the TPG Funds and Co-Invest Funds.
