On December 2, 2024 , PAG Asia transferred an aggregate of $122,500,000 principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes to the Borrower in connection with an internal restructuring (the “2024 December Internal Transfer”). The source of funds for the purchase is from a loan facility in the principal amount of $122,500,000 made to the Borrower by the Lender pursuant to the 2024 Facility Agreement, which was amended and restated pursuant to an amendment and restatement agreement dated November 28, 2024 between the Borrower and the Lender (the “2024 Facility Amendment Agreement”).

PAGAC IV-4 (Cayman) Limited continues to hold the Convertible Senior Notes for investment purposes only.
