Upon completion of the Transaction, the Issuer became a wholly owned subsidiary of ECP and each holder of the Ordinary Shares of the Issuer became entitled to $22.00 per share in cash, without interest. Consequently, the Reporting Persons are no longer beneficial owners of any Ordinary Shares of the Issuer.
