Fairview Capital

Andrew F. Mathieson

(collectively, the “Filers”).

 

Before April 1, 2021, FCIM LLC was the general partner and investment adviser of private investment funds, including Darlington Partners, L.P. ( the “Funds”). Fairview Capital is the manager of FCIM LLC. Mr. Mathieson is the controlling shareholder and President of Fairview Capital. The Filers are filing this Schedule 13G jointly but not as members of a group, and each disclaims membership in a group. Each of FCIM LLC, Fairview Capital and Mr. Mathieson disclaims beneficial ownership of the Stock (as defined in section (d) below), except to the extent of that person’s pecuniary interest therein.

 

The original Schedule 13G for the Stock and the amendments prior to this Amendment No. 3 also include as joint filers Darlington Partners, L.P. and Scott W. Clark (“Clark”). On April 1, 2021, (1) FCIM LLC ceased to the investment adviser and general partner of the Funds, (2) Darlington Partners Capital Management, LP (“DPCM”) became the investment adviser to the Funds and (3) an affiliate of DPCM became the general partner of the Funds. As a result FCIM LLC, Fairview Capital and Mr. Mathieson are filing this Schedule 13G to report that they are no longer beneficial owners of the Stock. DPCM, Darlington Partners, L.P., Clark and other joint filers are separately filing a Schedule 13G to report their beneficial ownership in the Stock.

 

(b)

The principal business office of the Filers is located at: 300 Drakes Landing Road, Suite 250, Greenbrae, CA 94904

 

(c)
