“TSL Advisers entered into a purchase agreement with Goldman, Sachs & Co. as agent for TSL Advisers, dated as of March 11, 2014 (the “10b5-1 Plan”), pursuant to which Goldman, Sachs & Co. will buy up to $25,000,000 in the aggregate of the Common Stock of the Issuer during the period beginning after four full calendar weeks after the closing of the Issuer’s initial public offering and ending on the earlier of the date on which all the capital committed to the 10b5-1 Plan has been exhausted or December 31, 2014, subject to certain conditions.
The 10b5-1 Plan will require Goldman, Sachs & Co. to purchase for TSL Advisers shares of Common Stock of the Issuer (i) through the date the Issuer announces its earnings for the second quarter of 2014, when the market price per share is below the initial public offering price per share and, (ii) from and after that date, when the market price per share is below the Issuer’s most recently reported net asset value per share (including any updates, corrections or adjustments publicly announced by the Issuer to any previously announced net asset value per share). The purchase of shares by Goldman, Sachs & Co. pursuant to the 10b5-1 Plan is intended to satisfy the conditions of Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Act.
References to and descriptions of the 10b5-1 Plan set forth above in this Item 4 do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the 10b5-1 Plan attached as Exhibit 6 and incorporated herein by reference.”
