Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following:
On September 10, 2020, the Issuer announced that it has entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 9, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”) with affiliates of Baring Private Equity Asia (“Baring”) pursuant to which Baring agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer for $51.35 per share in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $2.0 billion (the “Transaction”).
