In the Supplemental Letter, Krensavage notified the Issuer of its substitution of Darren P. Lehrich for former nominee John S. Watts Jr., as one of Krensavage’s nominees for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. Krensavage believes Mr. Lehrich is well qualified to serve on the Board, as evidenced by his biography below, given his relevant credentials and industry experience.
Darren P. Lehrich has served as Senior Vice President, Strategy & Investor Relations of American Renal Associates, Inc. (“ARA”), a national provider of dialysis services, since July 2015.

Prior to Deutsche Bank, Mr. Lehrich served as Managing Director and Senior Analyst covering the Health Care Services sector at Piper Jaffray & Co, a subsidiary of the investment banking and asset management firm Piper Jaffray Companies (NYSE:PJC), from 2004 to 2005. He also served as a Senior Health Care Analyst at SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., an investment banking firm, from 2001 to 2004, and at ING Barings Furman Selz LLC, a securities firm, from 1997 to 2001. Mr. Lehrich began his career at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, where he served in practice management roles in the Ambulatory Care Division, from 1993 to 1995. Mr. Lehrich earned his MBA in Finance from the Krannert School of Management at Purdue University and a B.S. in Healthcare Policy and Administration from the Pennsylvania State University. Mr. Lehrich was Nashville Health Care Council Fellow (2015), and a recipient of the Penn State Alumni Achievement Award (2007).
