 of shares of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible
acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Company that may otherwise benefit holders of Shares and may adversely affect the market price of
the shares of Class A common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of Shares. The Company has no current plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Stockholders Agreement

In connection
with the Transaction, we entered into the Stockholders Agreement, pursuant to which the ORCP Stockholders have certain governance and other rights. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Stockholders Agreement.”

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Delaware Law and our Organizational Documents

Certain provisions of Delaware law as well as our organizational documents, which are summarized below, may have the effect of delaying,
deferring, or discouraging another person from acquiring control of the Company. They are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of the Company to negotiate first with the Board. We believe that the benefits of
increased protection of the Company’s potential ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging a proposal to acquire the Company because negotiation of these proposals could result in
an improvement of their terms.

Section 203 and Business Combinations

We have opted out of Section 203 of the DGCL, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any
interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date that such

stockholder became an interested stockholder. However, our certificate of incorporation includes a prohibition on such business combinations with interested stockholders, with the following exceptions:

| • |     | the business combination or transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder was 
 approved by the Board prior to the time that the stockholder became an interested stockholder;                   |

| • |     | upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the                                                                                                                                         
 interested stockholder owned at least 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding shares owned by directors who are also officers of the Company and shares owned by employee stock plans in which associate 
 participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or                                                                                             |
