Explanatory Note:
This Amendment No. 1 ("Amendment No. 1") amends and supplements the Schedule
13G originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") on September 11, 2023 (the "Original Schedule 13G") by GS Group
and GS PSI (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"). Only those items that
are hereby reported are amended; all other items reported in the Original
Schedule 13G remain unchanged. Information given in response to each item
shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as
applicable. Capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment No. 1
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13G.
Item 4. OWNERSHIP*:
The information required by Item 4(a) - (c) is set forth in Rows (5) - (11)
of the cover page for each Reporting Person hereto and is incorporated
herein by reference for each such Reporting Person.
Item 5. OWNERSHIP OF FIVE PERCENT OR LESS OF A CLASS:
Each of the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than
five percent (5%) of the Issuer's Common Shares due to dilution caused by
the Issuer's issuance of additional Common Shares from time to time since
the date of the filing of the Original Schedule 13G.
* In accordance with the SEC Release No. 3439538 (January 12, 1998)
(the "Release"), this filing reflects the securities beneficially owned by
certain operating units (collectively, the "Goldman Sachs Reporting Units")
of GS Group and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, "GSG").
This filing does not reflect securities, if any, beneficially owned by any
operating units of GSG whose ownership of securities is disaggregated from
that of the Goldman Sachs Reporting Units in accordance with the Release.
The Goldman Sachs Reporting Units disclaim beneficial ownership of the
securities beneficially owned by (i) any client accounts with respect to
which the Goldman Sachs Reporting Units or their employees have voting or
investment discretion or both, or with respect to which there are limits
on their voting or investment authority or both and (ii) certain investment
entities of which the Goldman Sachs Reporting Units act as the general
partner, managing general partner or other manager, to the extent interests
in such entities are held by persons other than the Goldman Sachs Reporting
Units.
