Except as otherwise provided herein, each Item of the Schedule 13D remains unchanged.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

Item 2 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

This statement on Schedule 13D is filed on behalf of (i) DigitalBridge Group, Inc. (f/k/a Colony Capital, Inc.), a Maryland corporation (“DigitalBridge”), (ii) DigitalBridge Operating Company, LLC (f/k/a Colony Capital Operating Company, LLC), a Delaware limited liability company (“DBRG OC”), and (iii) CLNC Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Manager” and collectively with DigitalBridge and DBRG OC, the “Reporting Persons”).

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons and, to their knowledge, none of the directors and executive officers listed on Annex A hereto, (i) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

The information set forth in Annex A hereto is incorporated by reference in this Item 2.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

The Reporting Persons may engage in communications with one or more stockholders of the Issuer, one or more members of the board of directors of the Issuer and other management members of the Issuer, and may make suggestions concerning the Issuer’s operations, prospects, business and financial strategies, strategic transactions (including M&A opportunities available to the Issuer), assets and liabilities, business and financing alternatives, the
