Except to the extent amended, supplemented or superseded by this Amendment, the information contained in the Schedule 13D remains in effect. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the respective meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

On July 12, 2023, the Trust sold 60,000,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to a block trade with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“Morgan Stanley”) at a price of $17.562 per share (the “July 2023 Block Trade”).

Each of paragraphs (a), (b), (c), and (e) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

As of the date hereof, the Trust beneficially owns directly 67,743,590 shares of Common Stock, currently representing 3.39% of the outstanding Common Stock (exclusive of shares of Common Stock reported by the Issuer as held by the Issuer’s subsidiaries), based on the Trust’s ability to direct the voting or disposition of such shares of Common Stock.

In connection with the July 2023 Block Trade, on July 12, 2023, the Trust entered into a lock-up letter agreement (the “July 2023 Lock-Up Agreement”) and agreed with Morgan Stanley that, subject to certain exceptions, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley it will not, and will not publicly disclose an intention to, in each case, during the period commencing on July 12, 2023 and ending 30 days thereafter (the “Restricted Period”), (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock it beneficially owns or any other securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. In addition, the Trust agreed with Morgan Stanley that, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley, it will not, during the Restricted Period, make any new demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Trust regarding the exercise of such demand during the Restricted Period.

Morgan Stanley, in its sole discretion, may release the securities subject to the July 2023 Lock-Up Agreement described above in whole or in part at any time with or without notice. Morgan Stanley may consider various factors in its sole discretion regarding the foregoing.
