(“CD&R Holdings GP”) (together with CD&R Holdings, collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented to include the following information.

On July 31, 2023, the Issuer completed the previously disclosed repurchase from CD&R Holdings of all 400,000 issued and outstanding shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible Participating Preferred Stock held by CD&R Holdings in exchange for $805,433,333.33 (the “Closing”).

In connection with the Closing, Mr. Sleeper submitted an offer of his resignation from the Board on July 31, 2023. The Board determined to accept Mr. Sleeper’s offer of resignation and such resignation is effective as of the Closing. Mr. Knisely submitted an offer to resign from the Board on July 31, 2023. The Board rejected Mr. Knisely’s offer of resignation and Mr. Knisely was asked to continue serving as a member of the Board. Mr. Knisely accepted such offer. Upon the Closing and as agreed between Mr. Knisely and the Board, Mr. Knisely stepped down as the non-executive chairman of the Board, but will continue to serve as a member of the Board.
