Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company

We are an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our
Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). We will remain an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act until the earliest
of (a) the last day of our first fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of CF III’s IPO, (b) the last date of our
fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, (c) the date on which we are deemed to be
a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC with at least $700.0 million of outstanding securities held by
non-affiliates, or (d) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the
previous three years.

We are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined
in the Securities and Exchange Act. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an emerging growth company.
We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures
