None of the Reporting Persons nor any manager or executive officer of the Reporting Persons, has, during the past five years, (a) been
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (b) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject
to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting, or mandating activities subject to, Federal or State securities laws or a finding of any violation with respect to such laws.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The Reporting Persons may be
deemed to be the beneficial owner of, in the aggregate, 27,807,410 Shares (including Shares underlying forward contracts), which were purchased by the Reporting Persons for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $323.9 million. Of such
Shares, 5,033,147 Shares were purchased by the Reporting Persons collectively for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $103.6 million. The remaining 22,774,263 Shares may be deemed beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons as a result of
their having entered into forward contracts (the "Forwards") with respect to such number of Shares at a forward price of $17.00 per share, for an aggregate forward price of approximately $387.2 million, plus a financing charge. The forward price is
subject to adjustment to account for any
dividends or other distributions declared by the Issuer. In addition, the Reporting Persons paid the counterparty to the Forwards an aggregate amount of approximately $220.3 million upon entering into such
Forwards.
The source of funding for the Shares (including Shares underlying forward contracts) held by the Reporting Persons was the general
working capital of the respective purchasers. The Shares held by the Reporting Persons are held in margin accounts together with other securities. Such margin accounts may from time to time have debit balances. Part of the purchase price of such
Shares was obtained through margin borrowing.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The Reporting Persons acquired their positions in the Shares in the belief that the Shares were undervalued. The Reporting Persons
intend to engage in discussions with representatives of the Issuer's management and board of directors regarding ways to enhance shareholder value, including the Issuer’s ongoing strategic review. Such discussions may also include possible board
representation. We also expect to have discussions with other shareholders to understand their perspectives.
The Reporting Persons are considering all their options and, while they have no present plan to do so (except as otherwise disclosed in
this Item 4), they reserve the right and are considering whether to propose other transactions which relate to or would result in one or more of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
The Reporting Persons may, from time to time and at any time: (i) acquire additional Shares and/or other equity, debt, notes,
instruments or other securities of the Issuer and/or its affiliates (collectively, "Securities") in the open market or otherwise; (ii) dispose of any or all of their Securities in the open market or otherwise; or (iii) engage in any hedging or
similar transactions with respect to the Securities.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a) The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 27,807,410 Shares (including Shares underlying forward
contracts), representing approximately 7.83% of the Issuer's outstanding Shares (based on the 355,151,002 Shares outstanding as of October 29, 2020, as disclosed by the Issuer in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30,
2020).
(b) Icahn Master has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with regard to 11,551,785 Shares (including Shares underlying forward

shared dispositive power with regard to such Shares.
Each of Icahn Offshore, Icahn Capital, IPH, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn, by virtue of their
relationships to Icahn Master (as disclosed in Item 2), may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the “Act”) the Shares which Icahn Master directly
beneficially owns. Each of Icahn Offshore, Icahn Capital, IPH, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares for all other purposes. Each of Icahn Onshore, Icahn Capital, IPH,
Icahn Enterprises Holdings, Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn, by virtue of their relationships to Icahn Partners (as disclosed in Item 2), may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act)
the Shares which Icahn Partners directly beneficially owns. Each of Icahn Onshore, Icahn Capital, IPH, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares for all other purposes.
