Not applicable.

 

Item 8.

Identification and Classification of Members of the Group.

The information set forth in Items 2 and 4 to this Schedule 13G is incorporated herein by reference.

On April 23, 2013, in connection with the initial public offering of the Issuer, Serafina S.A. (the BC Shareholder), certain shareholders affiliated with Silver Lake Group, L.L.C. (the Silver Lake Shareholder), David McGlade and certain of his affiliated trusts and entities (the McGlade Shareholder, and, together with the Silver Lake Shareholder and the BC Shareholder, the Shareholders) and the Issuer entered into a governance agreement (as amended from time to time, the Prior Governance Agreement). In December 2018, this Prior Governance Agreement and other shareholders agreements were terminated, a new Governance Agreement was entered into between the Issuer and the BC Shareholder (as amended from time to time, the Governance Agreement) and a new shareholders agreement was entered into among the Issuer and the Shareholders (as amended from time to time, the Shareholders Agreement). Under the Governance Agreement, the BC Shareholder currently has the right to nominate two directors for election to the Issuers board of directors. Under the Shareholders Agreement, the BC Shareholder has drag-along rights with respect to the Silver Lake Shareholder and the McGlade Shareholder under certain circumstances and each of the Silver Lake Shareholder and the McGlade Shareholder has certain tag-along rights on transfers by the BC Shareholder.

Given the terms of the Shareholder Agreement, the Reporting Persons, collectively with the BC Shareholder and certain related parties (collectively, the Serafina Parties) and the McGlade Shareholder, may be deemed to constitute a group that, as of the date hereof, collectively owns approximately 73,692,685 common shares, or approximately 52.6%, of the Issuers outstanding common shares for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Act), assuming the conversion of all outstanding vested equity awards held by Mr. McGlade that are vested or that will vest within the next 60 days. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the common shares of the Issuer other than the shares directly held by such Reporting Person. Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(2) under the Act, the Serafina Parties and Mr. McGlade are each filing separate Schedule 13Gs with respect to the common shares of the Issuer.

 

Item 9.

Notice of Dissolution of Group.

Not applicable.

 

Item 10.
