Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 2 (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 as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D, filed on September 14, 2022 (as so amended, 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 below) into the Voting and Support Agreement (as defined below).
