or Other Consideration
.

The Shares purchased by the Reporting Person on behalf of AJR, Cambrian Fund, Cambrian Global Fund and the Other
Accounts were purchased with the investment capital of such entities and accounts. The aggregate amount of funds used in making

Item 4.          Purpose of Transaction.

The
Reporting Person acquired, on behalf of AJR, Cambrian Fund, Cambrian Global Fund and the Other Accounts and continues to
hold, the Shares reported in this Schedule 13D for investment purposes. The Reporting Person intends to evaluate
the performance of the Shares as an investment in the ordinary course of business. The Reporting Person pursues an investment
objective that seeks capital appreciation. In pursuing this investment objective, the Reporting Person analyzes the
operations, capital structure and markets of companies in which the Reporting Person’s clients invest, including the
Issuer, on a continuous basis through analysis of documentation and discussions with knowledgeable industry and market
observers and with representatives of such companies.

The Reporting Person will continuously assess the Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operations
and prospects, general economic conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Shares in particular, other developments
and other investment opportunities. Depending on such assessments, the Reporting Person may acquire additional Shares or may determine
to sell or otherwise dispose of all or some of the Shares presently held by AJR, Cambrian Fund, Cambrian Global Fund, and the Other
Accounts in the open market or in private transactions. Such actions will depend upon a variety of factors, including, without
limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices for the Shares, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects
of the Issuer, alternative investment opportunities, general economic, financial market and industry conditions and other factors
that the Reporting Person may deem material to its investment decision.

Page 5 of 8 – SEC Filing

The Reporting Person and their representatives have, from time to time, engaged in, and expect to continue to
engage in, discussions with members of management and the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”), other current
or prospective shareholders, industry analysts, existing or potential strategic partners or competitors, investment and financing
professionals and other third parties regarding a variety of matters related to the Issuer, which may include, among other things,
the Issuer’s business, management, capital structure and allocation, corporate governance, Board composition and strategic
alternatives and direction, and may take other steps seeking to bring about changes to increase shareholder value.

Except as set
forth above, the Reporting Person has no present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the
transactions required to be described in Item 4 of Schedule 13D

Item 4 is hereby
supplemented with the addition of the following:

On November 15,
2017, the Reporting Person sent a letter (the “Letter”) to Mr. Andreas Mattes, Chief Executive Officer of the
Issuer, urging him and the Board to i) communicate Q4 to date progress, ii) provide an initial outlook for 2018 and reaffirm
their commitment to the 2020 targets as presented at the Capital Markets Day and iii) hire a financial advisor to evaluate
strategic alternatives, including a 15 million share (or $250 million) buyback, roughly 20% of shares outstanding, through a
Dutch tender, financed with one or more financial partners using a perpetual convertible preferred equity placement which
would be highly accretive to earnings per share without adding leverage.

The
foregoing summary of the Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Letter,
a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1 to this Schedule 13D and in incorporated by reference herein.
