The Elliott Funds entered into certain notional principal amount derivative agreements (the "Cash Derivative Agreements") in the form of cash settled swaps with reference prices ranging from $26.73 to $26.94. The derivative agreements shall continue until terminated as elected by the parties and currently have an initial reference termination date of March 27, 2028. The Cash Derivative Agreements provide the Elliott Funds with economic results that are comparable to the economic results of ownership but do not provide them or the Reporting Person with the power to vote or direct the voting or dispose of or direct the disposition of the shares that are referenced in the Cash Derivative Agreements (such shares, the "Subject Shares"). The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership in the Subject Shares.
