This amendment No. 6 (the “Amendment No. 6”) to Schedule 13D relates to the Schedule 13D filed on December 4, 2019 (the “Original Schedule 13D”, as amended and supplemented through the date of this Amendment No. 6, the “Schedule 13D”) by (i) Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Pershing Square”), (ii) PS Management GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PS Management”) and (iii) William A.

Except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 6, the Schedule 13D is unchanged.

Note: This Amendment No. 6 is being filed solely because a reduction in shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed on August 3, 2022 caused the percentage of shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons to increase by more than 1% of the outstanding shares.
