(together, the “Silver Lake Purchasers” and, together with the Apollo Purchaser, collectively, the “Purchasers”).

In connection with and concurrently with the effective time of the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreements, the Company and the Purchasers entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of May 5, 2020 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Selling Stockholders became entitled to certain registration rights in respect of common stock held by the Selling Stockholders, including common stock issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

We will not receive proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders may sell the common stock through public or private transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices.
