Analysis as follows (with new text in underline):

J.P. Morgan also calculated the present value of tax
benefits from the Companys estimated net operating loss carry-forwards and other tax benefits as provided by Companys management. The cash flow benefits provided by the Company were then discounted to present value as of
December 31, 2019 using a range of discount rates from 9.0% to 11.0%, which were selected by J.P. Morgan in its professional judgment. This resulted in a net present value range of approximately $529 million to
$563 million.

Amending and restating the second full paragraph on page 65, under the heading Miscellaneous as
follows (with new text in underline):

For services rendered in connection with the merger and the delivery of its
opinion, the Company has agreed to pay J.P. Morgan a fee of up to $7 million, $2 million of which became payable upon delivery by J.P. Morgan of its opinion and up to $5 million of which is payable in the discretion of the Special
Committee based on its assessment of J.P. Morgans performance of such services upon the consummation of the merger. In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse J.P. Morgan for its expenses incurred in connection with its services,
including the fees and disbursements of counsel, and will indemnify J.P. Morgan against certain liabilities arising out of J.P. Morgans engagement. During the two-year period preceding the date of its
opinion, J.P. Morgan provided commercial and investment banking services and recognized fees from the Company of approximately $11 million and from Franklin of approximately $155 million unrelated to any material commercial or
investment banking relationships with the Company or Franklin. As of the date of its opinion, J.P. Morgan and its affiliates held, on a proprietary basis, less than 1% of the outstanding common stock of each of the Company and Franklin. In the
ordinary course of their businesses, J.P. Morgan and its affiliates may actively trade the debt and equity securities or financial instruments (including derivatives, bank loans or other obligations) of the Company or Franklin for their own accounts
or for the accounts of customers and, accordingly, they may at any time hold long or short positions in such securities or other financial instruments.
