General
The Reporting Person acquired the securities described in this Schedule 13D for investment purposes and intends to review its investments in the

business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.
The Reporting Person may acquire additional securities of the Issuer, or retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held, in the
open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In addition, the Reporting Person may engage in discussions with management, the board of directors of the Issuer, and securityholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties or encourage, cause
or seek to cause the Issuer or such persons to consider or explore extraordinary corporate transactions, such as: a merger, reorganization or other transaction that could result in the de-listing or de-registration of the common stock of the
Issuer; sales or acquisitions of assets or businesses; changes to the capitalization or distribution policy of the Issuer; or other material changes to the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, including changes in management or the composition
of the board of directors of the Issuer. There can be no assurance, however, that the Reporting Person will propose such a transaction, that any proposed transaction would receive the requisite approvals from the respective governing bodies and
unitholders, as applicable, or that any such transaction would be successfully implemented.
