The following constitutes Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) to the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. on November 6,
2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on June 11, 2024, and Amendment No. 2 filed on September 9, 2024. This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following:
As of the date hereof, the Reporting Person beneficially owns the securities of the Company reported herein solely for investment purposes. The Reporting Person intends to
review its investment in the Company on a continuing basis in the future and expects that the Reporting Person will after the date of this filing and from time to time reduce its investment in the Company but may alternatively or in addition in the
future, increase its investment position. Such actions are expected to depend on various factors, including, without limitation, price levels of the Common Stock, the Company’s financial and business position, this and other investment opportunities
available to the Reporting Person, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions.

Item 5 is amended as follows:
(a) and (b) Items 7 through 11 and 13 of the cover page of this Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference. Such
information is based on 249,015,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 1, 2024, based on information disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2024. The Reporting Person, through one or more intermediate entities, possesses the sole power to vote and the sole power to direct the disposition of all securities of the Company reported in this Schedule 13D, as amended.
Therefore, the Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own 14,943,408 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 6.0% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding.
(c) Except as set forth in Schedule 1 attached hereto, there have been no transactions in shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of the Common Stock, during the 60 days prior to the date hereof by the Reporting Person or any
person or entity for which the Reporting Person possesses voting or dispositive control.
