Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed by PT Independence Energy Holdings, LLC, Liberty Energy Holdings, LLC, Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, Liberty Mutual Group Inc., LMHC Massachusetts Holdings Inc. and Liberty Mutual Holding Company Inc. (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) on December 17, 2021 (the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Item of the Schedule 13D remains unchanged.

This Amendment is being filed to report the entry by PT Reporting Person (as defined herein) into the Repurchase Agreement (as defined herein) with OpCo, pursuant to which PT Reporting Person sold to OpCo, and OpCo purchased for cash from PT Reporting Person, 2,568,786 OpCo LLC Units, and a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock held by PT Reporting Person were cancelled.

Item 2.
