The aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common Stock directly owned by Elliott International is approximately $418,801,251.  The aggregate purchase price of the call options owned by Elliott International is approximately $3,425,160.
 
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
This Schedule 13D is being amended as a result of an increase in the Reporting Persons' combined economic exposure from approximately 7.5% to approximately 9.0%. The Reporting Persons believe that following the recently completed separation, the Issuer's shares are dramatically undervalued and represent an attractive investment opportunity. The Reporting Persons intend to engage in private discussions with the Issuer regarding opportunities to improve operating performance and enhance shareholder value consistent with the terms of the agreement between the Reporting Persons and the Issuer dated February 1, 2016.
ITEM 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
(a) As of the close of business on November 4, 2016, Elliott, Elliott International and EICA collectively have combined economic exposure in the Issuer of approximately 9.0% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding.
The aggregate percentage of Common Stock reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 438,471,245 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2016, which is the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported Exhibit 99.1 to the Issuer's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 11, 2016.
As of the close of business on November 4, 2016, Elliott beneficially owned 11,296,959 shares of Common Stock, including 1,488,960 shares of Common Stock underlying currently exercisable options, constituting approximately 2.6% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding.
As of the close of business on November 4, 2016, Elliott International beneficially owned 24,006,041 shares of Common Stock, including 3,164,040 shares of Common Stock underlying currently exercisable options, constituting approximately 5.5% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding. EICA, as the investment manager of Elliott International, may be deemed to beneficially own the 24,006,041 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Elliott International, constituting approximately 5.5% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding.

Collectively, Elliott, Elliott International and EICA beneficially own 35,303,000 shares of Common Stock, including 4,653,000 shares of Common Stock underlying currently exercisable options, constituting approximately 8.1% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding.
Collectively, Elliott, Elliott International and EICA have economic exposure comparable to approximately 0.9% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding pursuant to the Derivative Agreements, as disclosed in Item 6.
(c) The transactions effected by the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days are set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto.
Item 6.
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Item 6 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
Elliott, through The Liverpool Limited Partnership, a Bermuda limited partnership and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elliott ("Liverpool"), and Elliott International have entered into notional principal amount derivative agreements (the "Derivative Agreements") in the form of cash settled swaps with respect to 1,312,000 and 2,788,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, respectively (representing economic exposure comparable to less than 1% and less than 1% of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, respectively). Collectively, the Derivative Agreements held by the Reporting Persons represent economic exposure comparable to an interest in approximately 0.9% of the shares of Common Stock.  The Derivative Agreements provide Elliott and Elliott International with economic results that are comparable to the economic results of ownership but do not provide them with the power to vote or direct the voting or dispose of or direct the disposition of the shares that are referenced in the Derivative Agreements (such shares, the "Subject Shares").  The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership in the Subject Shares.
Elliott has purchased from counterparties call options that carry the right to call from such counterparties, among other things, up to 1,488,960 shares of Common Stock at a price of $11 per share, if such right is exercised prior to or on April 21. 2017.
Elliott International has purchased from counterparties call options that carry the right to call from such counterparties, among other things, up to 3,164,040 shares of Common Stock at a price of $11 per share, if such right is exercised prior to or on April 21, 2017.
On November 23, 2015, Elliott, Elliott International and EICA entered into a Joint Filing Agreement (the "Joint Filing Agreement") in which the parties agreed to the joint filing on behalf of each of them of statements on Schedule 13D with respect to the securities of the Issuer to the extent required by applicable law. The Joint Filing Agreement is attached as an exhibit to the initial Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.
Except as described above in this Item 6, none of the Reporting Persons has any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships with respect to the securities of the Issuer.
