Comment for Type of Reporting Person:
C.K. Limited is the trustee of two trusts (the Trusts) that indirectly holds all of the shares of Greenwich Holdings Limited and GHL Investments Limited. Accordingly, C.K. Limited, as trustee, may be deemed to beneficially own the Units of LLC Interest that are beneficially owned by Greenwich Holdings Limited and owned by GHL Investments Limited. Mr. Fredriksen established the trusts for the benefit of his immediate family. He is neither a beneficiary nor a trustee of either Trust. Therefore, Mr. Fredriksen has no economic interest in such Units of LLC Interest and disclaims any control over such Units of LLC Interest, save for any indirect influence he may have with C.K. Limited, as the trustee of the Trusts, in his capacity as the settlor of the Trusts.
