Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, effective as of the consummation of the Merger, CPPIB-PHI and certain other stockholders
of the Issuer agreed, among other things, to vote their respective shares of the Issuer’s common stock in favor of certain
individuals designated to the Issuer’s board of directors (“
Board
”) in accordance with the terms and conditions
thereof, including an individual designated by CPPIB-PHI (until the earlier of the day after the Issuer’s 2018 annual meeting
of stockholders or the time at which CPPIB-PHI ceases to beneficially own at least 2.5% of the then outstanding shares of the Issuer’s
common stock). The foregoing description of the Shareholders Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text
of the Shareholders Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 99.2 and which exhibit is incorporated by reference in its entirety
in this Item 4.
Each Reporting Person intends to review
its investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. As a result thereof, a Reporting Person may communicate with members of the
Issuer’s management, the Board and/or other relevant persons from time to time with respect to operational, strategic, financial
or governance matters related to the Issuer. While the Reporting Persons do not have any current intent, plan or proposal to purchase
any additional securities of the Issuer or sell any securities of the issuer, a Reporting Person may decide to purchase or sell
securities of the Issuer from time to time in accordance with applicable securities laws depending upon a variety of factors, including,
without limitation, future market and economic conditions and developments affecting the Issuer, its business or its securities.
Except as otherwise set forth in this Item
4, the Reporting Persons and, to the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, the Covered Persons, do not have any current intention,
plan or proposal which relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer,
or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or
liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer
or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present Board or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to
change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization
or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes
in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of
control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities
exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;
(i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of
