Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Each of First Reserve XII and FR XII-A obtained the shares of Common Stock held by it for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons also intend to participate in and influence the affairs of the Company through the exercise of the right to appoint directors to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) pursuant to the Director Designation Agreement described in this Item 4 and through voting rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock owned by the Reporting Persons.


Director Designation Agreement and Resale and Registration Rights Agreement

On March 27, 2019, the Company, First Reserve XII and FR XII-A (First Reserve XII and FR XII-A together with their respective successors and permitted assigns, “First Reserve”) entered into a a Director Designation Agreement (the “Director Designation Agreement”). Also on March 27, 2019, the Company, First Reserve XII and FR XII-A, and certain other shareholders party thereto entered into a Resale and Registration Rights Agreement (the “Resale and Registration Rights Agreement”) A copy of each of these agreements is attached hereto as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3, respectively, and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Director Designation Agreement entitles First Reserve, in connection with any election of directors by the shareholders of the Company, to have the nominating committee of the Board include in the slate of candidates recommended to the shareholders for election as directors a specified number of nominees designated by First Reserve. The Company will be required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the election of the candidates so designated.

Initially, First Reserve is entitled to designate three nominees. If the three designated nominees of First Reserve and the three nominees designated by certain funds managed by WL Ross & Co. LLC (collectively, “WLR”) pursuant to its own director designation agreement(s) differ, the Board will select three nominees from the aggregate nominees designated so long as one nominee from each of First Reserve and WLR is included. However, if First Reserve reduces its combined beneficial ownership and as a result thereof: (1) its combined beneficial ownership is reduced by 50% or more, but less than 75%, from that owned at Closing, First Reserve will, without further action, only be entitled to designate up to two nominees (with any discrepancies resolved in the same manner as described above); (2) its combined beneficial ownership is reduced by 75% or more from that owned at Closing, but First Reserve still beneficially owns 5% or more of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, First Reserve will, without further action, only be entitled to designate one nominee (with any discrepancies resolved in the same manner as described above, but disregarding the requirement that the board selection include one nominee from each of First Reserve and WLR); and (3) if First Reserve owns less than 5% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock it will, without further action, no longer have any nomination rights under the Director Designation Agreement.

In the event that the size of the Board is increased or decreased, the number of directors that First Reserve is permitted to designate will be proportionally adjusted to be equal to the number of directors that First Reserve was entitled to designate as a percentage of the total number of directors on the Board immediately prior to such change.

In addition, until the annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders to be held in 2024, First Reserve will be required to vote its shares of Common Stock to confirm any nominee nominated and recommended by the Board. The Director Designation Agreement also provides that, until the annual meeting of shareholders of the Company to be held in 2022, the Chairman of the Board will be designated by WLR provided that if WLR and its affiliates reduce their beneficial ownership in the Company by 50% or more from that owned at the Closing, they will cease to have the right to designate the Chairman, and the Board will select the Chairman.

Pursuant to the Resale and Registration Rights Agreement, during the initial 180 days following the Closing, neither First Reserve XII nor FR XII-A will be permitted to transfer any of its registrable securities other than to certain permitted affiliate transferees. Further, for 180 days after the expiration of the initial lock-up period, neither First Reserve XII nor FR XII-A will be permitted to transfer any of its registrable securities in an amount that exceeds its pro rata portion of the greater of (1) 25% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on the last day of the initial lock-up period and (2) 20% of the total reporting trading volume of the Common Stock during the prior 180-day period.

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, the Company will be required to use reasonable best efforts to file an initial shelf registration statement to register for resale the registrable securities (other than shares subject to lock-up arrangements as long as these arrangements are in effect) as soon as reasonably practicable after Closing and keep such shelf registration statement effective until the earlier of (1) the date on which each of the holders thereof has completed the sale of all of its registrable securities and (2) the date on which the registrable securities can be sold freely without volume and manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.


In addition to lock-up arrangements described above, the First Reserve XII and FR XII-A (together with WLR) may not participate in (1) more than eight demand registrations prior to the fifth anniversary of the expiration of the first lock-up period, (2) more than one demand registration prior to the first anniversary of the expiration of the first lock-up period, and (3) more than two demand registrations during each one-year period beginning on (and including) the first anniversary of the expiration of the first lock-up period.

The Registration Rights Agreement also contains certain customary rights of the holders of registrable securities to be included in an underwritten offering undertaken by the Company or other shareholders of the Company.

The Registration Rights Agreement will permit the Company to suspend the use of any registration statement in certain circumstances if the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Chief Legal Officer believes in good faith that the use of such registration statement would require the Company to make public disclosure in the registration statement of material information that has not yet been made public and that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for not disclosing. The Company will not be permitted to suspend the use of any registration statement pursuant to these provisions for more than 60 days during any rolling period of 180 days, except that during the period beginning on closing and ending one year after the expiration of the initial lock-up period, the Company will not be permitted to suspend the use of any registration statement for more than 30 days during any rolling period of 180 days.

The Company will be required to pay all expenses related to its registration obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, except for any underwriting discounts, selling commissions of each shareholder’s counsel beyond the one law firm to be paid for by the Company, any expenses required by law and any transfer taxes relating to the sale or disposition of registrable securities by such shareholder.

The Registration Rights Agreements also will provide for customary indemnification obligations of both the Company and the shareholders in connection with any registration statement. In general, the Company will indemnify each holder receiving registration rights for any liability arising out of any violation or alleged violation of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state law and any actual or alleged material misstatements or omissions contained in a registration statement or related prospectus, except for misstatements or omissions relating to the information provided by that holder. Each holder receiving registration rights will provide the Company with corresponding indemnification relating to the information provided by such holder.

The foregoing description of the Director Designation Agreement and the Resale and Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of each of such agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3.

Other than as described above, each of the Reporting Persons reports that neither it nor, to its knowledge, any of the other persons named in Item 2 of this Schedule 13D, currently has any plan or proposal which relates to, or may result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D, although the Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.
