Item 2.
| (a) | Name of Person Filing: |
This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13G is being filed jointly by TPG Group Holdings (SBS) Advisors, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Group Advisors”), David Bonderman and James G. Coulter (each, a “Reporting Person” and, together, the “Reporting Persons”), pursuant to an Agreement of Joint Filing incorporated by reference herein in accordance with Rule 13d-1(k)(1) under the Act.
Group Advisors is the sole member of TPG Group Holdings (SBS) Advisors, LLC, which is the general partner of TPG Group Holdings (SBS), L.P., which is the sole member of TPG Holdings I-A, LLC, which is the general partner of TPG Holdings I, L.P., which is the sole member of each of TPG GenPar V Advisors, LLC and TPG GenPar IV Advisors, LLC. TPG GenPar V Advisors, LLC is the general partner of TPG GenPar V, L.P., which is the general partner of each of (i) TPG Partners V, L.P., which directly held shares of Common Stock, (ii) TPG FOF V-A, L.P., which directly held shares of Common Stock, and (iii) TPG FOF V-B, L.P., which directly held shares of Common Stock. TPG GenPar IV Advisors, LLC is the general partner of TPG GenPar IV, L.P., which is the general partner of TPG Partners IV, L.P. (together with TPG Partners V, L.P., TPG FOF V-A, L.P. and TPG FOF V-B, L.P., the “TPG Funds”), which directly held shares of Common Stock.
TPG GenPar V, L.P. is a member of Sovereign Manager Co-Invest, LLC (“Sovereign Manager”), which is the managing member of Sovereign Co-Invest II, LLC (“Co-Invest II”), which directly held shares of Common Stock. Sovereign Manager is managed by a management committee consisting of two managers, one of which is designated by TPG GenPar V, L.P. Because of Group Advisors’ relationship to the TPG Funds and Co-Invest II, Group Advisors may have been deemed to have beneficially owned the shares of Common Stock held by the TPG Funds and Co-Invest II.
David Bonderman and James G. Coulter are sole shareholders of Group Advisors and may therefore have been deemed to have beneficially owned the shares of Common Stock held by the TPG Funds and Co-Invest II. Messrs. Bonderman and Coulter disclaim beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.
