The securities reported in this Schedule 13G are held by investment advisory clients or discretionary accounts of which Key Group Holdings (Cayman) Ltd. is the investment advisor. When an investment management contract delegates to Key Group Holdings (Cayman) Ltd. investment discretion or voting power over the securities held in the investment advisory accounts that are subject to that agreement, Key Group Holdings (Cayman) Ltd. is treated as having sole investment discretion or voting authority, as the case may be, unless the agreement specifies otherwise. Accordingly, Key Group Holdings (Cayman) Ltd. reports on Schedule 13G that it has sole investment discretion and voting authority over the securities covered by any such investment management agreement. As a result, Key Group Holdings (Cayman) Ltd. may be deemed to beneficially own the securities held by its clients or accounts within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Millinvest, Ltd. is the owner of Key Group Holdings (Cayman) Ltd. Sunil Jagwani is the ultimate beneficial owner of Millinvest, Ltd. Because Millinvest, Ltd. is the owner of Key Group Holdings (Cayman) Ltd. and Mr. Jagwani is the ultimate beneficial owner of Millinvest, Ltd., they may be deemed to beneficially own the securities held by the clients or accounts of Key Group Holdings (Cayman) Ltd.

Key Group Holdings (Cayman) Ltd., Sunil Jagwani and Millinvest, Ltd. believe that they do not constitute a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act and that they are not otherwise required to attribute to each other the beneficial ownership of the securities reported in this Schedule 13G held by them or by any persons or entities for whom or for which Key Group Holdings (Cayman) Ltd. provides investment management services. Each of Key Group Holdings (Cayman) Ltd., Sunil Jagwani and Millinvest, Ltd. also disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of that filer’s pecuniary interest therein.

The aggregate percentage of shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 90,698,430 shares of common stock outstanding as of November 9, 2017 (the outstanding share number was adjusted to give effect to the 1-for-4 stock split for all periods reported) and 1,825,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of a call option (with the percent ownership calculated using the number of outstanding shares of common stock and assuming the exercise of the call option by the reporting person).
