(a)

Amount Beneficially Owned:

The information contained in rows 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 on each of the cover pages of this Schedule 13G is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4.

The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 34,735,404 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, consisting of (i) 19,943,044 shares of Common Stock held by Silver Lake Partners IV, L.P., (ii) 369,692 shares of Common Stock held by Silver Lake Technology Investors IV (Delaware II), L.P. and (iii) 14,422,668 shares of Common Stock held by SLP Union Aggregator, L.P., representing an aggregate of approximately 9.1% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock.

Beneficial ownership excludes shares of the Common Stock underlying an aggregate of $940,000,000 principal amount of 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Convertible Notes”) held by affiliates of the Reporting Persons. The initial conversion rate of the Convertible Notes is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $48.89 per share of Common Stock and is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain customary events in accordance with the terms of an indenture governing the Convertible Notes. Upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, the Issuer will deliver, at its election, cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof, and the Issuer has currently elected to settle the Convertible Notes held by affiliates of the Reporting Persons in a combination of cash and stock, whereby amounts due in excess of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes, if any, shall be settled by a delivery of shares of Common Stock. As of December 31, 2023, if affiliates of the Reporting Persons had converted their Convertible Notes, there would be no shares of Common Stock deliverable to affiliates of the Reporting Persons. The percentages of beneficial ownership in this Schedule 13G are based on 380,019,022 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding as of November 1, 2023, as reflected in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2023.

Directors affiliated with Reporting Persons are entitled to earn director compensation pursuant to the Issuer’s standard director compensation arrangements, which compensation is held for the benefit of Silver Lake Technology Management, L.L.C., certain of its affiliates or certain of the funds they manage. Egon Durban serves as a director of the Issuer. As of December 31, 2023, Mr. Durban holds 21,304 shares of Common Stock and 5,328 unvested restricted stock units, scheduled to vest on the earlier of June 7, 2024 or the date of the Issuer’s next annual meeting of stockholders, subject to Mr. Durban’s continued service through such date. The beneficial ownership numbers reported herein do not include any shares of Common Stock and restricted stock units awarded as director compensation and the Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership over such securities.
