4. SHARES TENDERED AT PRICE DETERMINED BY STOCKHOLDER:

By checking one of the following boxes below instead of the box under Section 5, “Shares Tendered at Price Determined Under the Offer,” you are tendering shares at the price checked. This election could result in none of your shares being purchased if the Purchase Price (defined below) selected by the Company for the shares is less than the price checked below. If you wish to tender shares at more than one price, you must complete a separate Letter of Transmittal for each price at which you tender shares. The same shares cannot be tendered at more than one price, unless previously and validly withdrawn. See Section 3 and Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase and Instruction 4 to this Letter of Transmittal.

PRICE (IN DOLLARS) PER SHARE AT WHICH SHARES ARE BEING TENDERED

CHECK ONLY ONE BOX

IF MORE THAN ONE BOX IS CHECKED OR IF NO BOX IS CHECKED, THERE IS NO VALID TENDER OF SHARES

(Stockholders who desire to tender shares at more than one price must complete a separate Letter of Transmittal for each price at which shares are tendered.)


☐	$148.00	☐	$156.00	☐	$164.00
☐	$149.00	☐	$157.00	☐	$165.00

5. SHARES TENDERED AT PRICE DETERMINED UNDER THE OFFER:

☐

By checking this one box instead of one of the price boxes under Section 4, “Shares Tendered at Price Determined by Stockholder,” you are tendering shares and are willing to accept the Purchase Price (defined below) selected by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Offer. This action will maximize the chance of having the Company purchase your shares pursuant to the Offer (subject to proration). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, the Company will determine a single price per share (the “Purchase Price”), which will be not less than $148.00 nor greater than $170.00 per share, that the Company will pay for shares of our Common Stock validly tendered in the Offer and not validly withdrawn, taking into account the total number of shares of Common Stock tendered and the prices specified, or deemed specified, by tendering stockholders. The Purchase Price will be the lowest purchase price, not less than $148.00 nor greater than $170.00 per share, that will enable the Company to purchase the maximum number of shares validly tendered in the Offer and not validly withdrawn having an aggregate purchase price not exceeding $750 million (or a lower amount depending on the number of shares of Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn). All shares of Common Stock acquired in the Offer will be acquired at the Purchase Price, including those shares tendered at a price lower than the Purchase Price. Only shares validly tendered at prices at or below the Purchase Price, and not validly withdrawn, will be eligible for purchase in the Offer. Shares validly tendered at a price that is greater than the Purchase Price will not be purchased. Note that this election is deemed to be a tender of shares at the minimum price under the Offer of $148.00 per share and could cause the

Purchase Price in the Offer to be lower and could result in the tendered shares being purchased at the minimum price under the Offer of $148.00, per share, a price that is below the reported closing price of our Common Stock on the NYSE on February 25, 2025, which was the last full trading day before commencement of the Offer. See Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase and Instruction 5 to this Letter of Transmittal.

6. ODD LOTS:

As described in Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase, under certain conditions, stockholders holding a total of fewer than 100 shares may have their shares tendered at or below the Purchase Price accepted for payment before any proration of other tendered shares. This preference is not available to partial tenders or to beneficial or record holders of 100 or more shares in the aggregate, even if these holders have separate accounts or certificates representing fewer than 100 shares. Accordingly, this section is to be completed only if shares are being tendered by or on behalf of a person owning, beneficially or of record, an aggregate of fewer than 100 shares. The undersigned either (check one box):

☐	is the beneficial or record owner of an aggregate of fewer than 100 shares, all of which are being tendered; or

☐

is a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee that (a) is tendering for the beneficial owner(s), shares with respect to which it is the record holder and (b) believes, based upon representations made to it by the beneficial owner(s), that each such person is the beneficial owner of an aggregate of fewer than 100 shares and is tendering all of such shares.

In addition, the undersigned is tendering either (check one box):

☐	at the Purchase Price determined by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Offer (persons checking this box need not indicate the price per share above); or

☐	at the price per share indicated above in the section captioned “Shares Tendered at Price Determined by Stockholder.”

7. CONDITIONAL TENDER

As described in Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase, a tendering stockholder may condition his or her tender of shares upon the Company purchasing all or a specified minimum number of the shares tendered. Unless at least the minimum number of shares you indicate below is purchased by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Offer, none of the shares tendered by you will be purchased. It is the tendering stockholder’s responsibility to calculate the minimum number of shares that must be purchased from the stockholder in order for the stockholder to qualify for sale or exchange (rather than distribution) treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Stockholders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors before completing this section. No assurances can be provided that a conditional tender will achieve the intended U.S. federal income tax result for any stockholder tendering shares. Unless this box has been checked and a minimum number of shares specified, your tender will be deemed unconditional.

☐

The minimum number of shares that must be purchased from me/us, if any are purchased from me/us, is: shares. If, because of proration, the minimum number of shares designated will not be purchased, the Company may accept conditional tenders by random lot, if necessary. However, to be eligible for purchase by random lot, the tendering stockholder must have tendered all of his or her shares and checked this box:

☐	The tendered shares represent all shares held by the undersigned.

Please note that Equiniti Trust Company, LLC or other applicable withholding agent may withhold a portion of your proceeds (24% under current law) as required by the IRS if the Taxpayer ID or Social Security Number is not properly certified on its records. If you are a non-U.S. taxpayer, in order to establish an exemption from backup withholding, please complete and submit an IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY (with any required attachments), W-8ECI, or W-8EXP, as applicable (which may be obtained from the IRS website (www.irs.gov)).

Indication of Price at which shares are being Tendered. If you want to tender your shares at a specific price within the $148.00 to $170.00 range, you must properly complete the pricing section of this Letter of Transmittal, which is called “Shares Tendered at Price Determined by Stockholder.” You must check ONLY ONE BOX in the pricing section. If more than one box is checked or no box is checked, your shares will not be validly tendered. If you want to tender portions of your shares at more than one price, you must complete a separate Letter of Transmittal for each price at which you tender shares. However, the same shares cannot be tendered at more than one price, unless previously and validly withdrawn as provided in Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase.

By checking the Box in Section 5 instead of one of the price boxes in Section 4, you are tendering shares and are willing to accept the Purchase Price determined by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Offer. This action will maximize the chance of having the Company purchase your shares pursuant to the Offer (subject to proration). Note that this election is deemed to be a tender of shares at the minimum price under the Offer of $148.00 per share for purposes of determining the Purchase Price in the Offer, and could cause the Purchase Price in the Offer to be lower and could result in your shares being purchased at the minimum price under the Offer of $148.00 per share.

6.	Please see the Offer to Purchase for additional information regarding Box 6.

7.	If you want your check for cash and/or certificate(s) for shares not tendered or not purchased to be issued in another name, fill in Box 9 with the information for the new account name. If you complete Box 9, your signature(s) must be guaranteed.

8.	Complete Box 8 only if the proceeds of this transaction and/or any unaccepted shares are to be transferred to a person other than the registered holder or sent to a different address. If you complete Box 8, your signature(s) must be guaranteed.

If any stock certificate representing shares that you own has been lost, stolen or destroyed, please contact the Depositary at (877) 248-6417 promptly to obtain instructions as to the steps that must be taken in order to replace the certificate. This Letter of Transmittal and related documents cannot be processed until the procedures for replacing lost or destroyed certificates have been followed. Please contact the Depositary immediately to permit timely processing of the replacement documentation.

10.

Stockholders who cannot deliver their certificates and all other required documents to the Depositary or complete the procedures for book-entry transfer prior to the Expiration Time may tender their shares by properly completing and duly executing the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase and thereafter timely delivering the shares subject to such notice of guaranteed delivery in accordance with such procedures.

11.

The Company will determine, in its sole discretion, the number of shares to accept, and the validity, eligibility and acceptance for payment of any tender. There is no obligation to give notice of any defects or irregularities to stockholders. See Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase for additional information.

12.

If any of the shares tendered hereby are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such persons must sign this Letter of Transmittal. If any shares tendered hereby are registered in different names on several certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations of certificates. If this Letter of Transmittal or any certificate or stock power is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, he or she should so indicate when signing, and proper evidence satisfactory to the Company of his or her authority to so act must be submitted with this Letter of Transmittal.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered owner(s) of the shares tendered hereby, no endorsements of certificates or separate stock powers are required unless payment of the Purchase Price is to be made, or certificates for shares not tendered or accepted for payment are to be issued, to a person other than the registered owner(s). Signatures on any such certificates or stock powers must be guaranteed by an eligible institution. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered owner(s) of the shares tendered hereby, or if payment is to be made or certificate(s) for shares not tendered or not purchased are to be issued to a person other than the registered owner(s), the certificate(s) representing such shares must be properly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered owner(s) appear(s) on the certificates(s). The signature(s) on any such certificate(s) or stock power(s) must be guaranteed by an eligible institution. See Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase. Signature guarantees are also required if either Box 8, “Special Payment Instructions” or Box 9, “Special Delivery Instructions” are completed.

The tendering holder will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Depositary or the Company to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the shares tendered hereby.

13.	If the space provided in Box 1 above is inadequate, the certificate numbers and/or the number of shares should be listed on a separated signed schedule that should be attached hereto.

14.

Except as provided herein, the Company will pay all stock transfer taxes if any, payable on the transfer to the Company of shares purchased pursuant to the Offer (for the avoidance of doubt, stock transfer taxes do not include United States federal income tax or backup withholding). If, however, payment of the Purchase Price is to be made to, or (in the circumstances permitted by the Offer) if unpurchased shares are to be registered in the name of, any person other than the registered holder, or if tendered certificates are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing this Letter of Transmittal, the amount of all stock transfer taxes, if any (whether imposed on the registered holder or the other person) payable on account of the transfer to such other person, will be deducted from the Purchase Price unless satisfactory evidence of the payment of the stock transfer taxes, or exemption from payment of the stock transfer taxes, is submitted to the Depositary.

15.

Partial Tenders (Not Applicable to Stockholders who Tender by Book-Entry Transfer). If fewer than all the shares represented by any certificate submitted to the Depositary are to be tendered, fill in the number of shares that are to be tendered in Box 1. In that case, if any tendered shares are purchased, new certificate(s) for the remainder of the shares that were evidenced by the old certificate(s) will be sent to the registered holder(s), unless otherwise provided in the appropriate box on this Letter of Transmittal, promptly after the acceptance for payment of, and payment for, the shares tendered herewith. All shares represented by certificates delivered to the Depositary will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise indicated.

16.

In participating in the Offer, the tendering stockholder acknowledges that: (1) the Offer is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be extended, modified, suspended or terminated by the Company as provided in the Offer to Purchase; (2) the tendering stockholder is voluntarily participating in the Offer; (3) the future value of the shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; (4) the tendering stockholder has received the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal, as amended or supplemented; (5) any foreign exchange obligations triggered by the tendering stockholder’s tender of shares or the receipt of proceeds are solely his or her responsibility; and (6) regardless of any action that the Company, the Depositary or any other withholding agent takes with respect to any or all income/capital gains tax, social security or insurance tax, transfer tax or other tax-related items (“Tax Items”) related to the Offer and the disposition of shares, the tendering stockholder acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax Items is and remains his or her sole responsibility, except with respect to certain stock transfer taxes as described in Section 5 of the Offer to Purchase. In that regard, the tendering stockholder authorizes the Depositary or other applicable withholding agent to withhold all applicable Tax Items that the Depositary or other applicable withholding agent is legally required to withhold. The tendering stockholder consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other

form, of the tendering stockholder’s personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, the Company, its subsidiaries, and third party administrators for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Offer. No authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall be affected by, and all such authority shall survive, the death or incapacity of the undersigned. All obligations of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the heirs, personal and legal representatives, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy, successors and assigns of the undersigned.

IMPORTANT U.S. TAX INFORMATION FOR HOLDERS

This is a summary only of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the Offer. Stockholders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences to them with respect to their particular circumstances.

In order to avoid backup withholding of U.S. federal income tax on payments pursuant to the Offer, a U.S. stockholder tendering shares must (a) provide the Depositary or other applicable withholding agent with such stockholder’s correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) on IRS Form W-9, which is included herein, and certify, under penalty of perjury, that such number is correct and that such stockholder is not subject to backup withholding of U.S. federal income tax; or (b) otherwise establish a basis for exemption from backup withholding. If a U.S. stockholder does not provide his, her or its correct TIN or fails to provide the required certifications, the IRS may impose certain penalties on such stockholder and payment to such stockholder pursuant to the Offer may be subject to backup withholding at a rate currently equal to 24%. All U.S. stockholders tendering shares pursuant to the Offer should complete and sign the IRS Form W-9 to provide the information and certification necessary to avoid backup withholding (unless an applicable exemption exists and is proved in a manner satisfactory to the Depositary or other withholding agent). To the extent that a U.S. stockholder designates another U.S. person to receive payment, such other person may be required to provide a properly completed IRS Form W-9 or a substitute Form W-9.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of the backup withholding may be credited against the U.S. federal income tax liability of the person subject to the backup withholding. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of tax, a refund can be obtained by the stockholder by timely providing the required information to the IRS.

If the stockholder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for a TIN or intends to apply for a TIN in the near future, then the stockholder should write “Applied For” in the space for the TIN in Part I of the IRS Form W-9 and should sign and date the IRS Form W-9. If the Depositary or other withholding agent has not been provided with a properly certified TIN by the time of payment, backup withholding will apply. If the shares are held in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the instructions on the enclosed IRS Form W-9 for additional guidance on which name and TIN to report.

Certain stockholders (including, among others, generally all corporations, individual retirement accounts and certain foreign individuals and entities) are not subject to backup withholding but may be required to provide evidence of their exemption from backup withholding. Exempt U.S. stockholders and U.S. payees should enter the proper “Exempt payee code” on the IRS Form W-9 and sign, date and return the IRS Form W-9 to the Depositary or other withholding agent. See the enclosed IRS Form W-9 for more instructions.

Non-U.S. stockholders or other non-U.S. payees, such as non-resident alien individuals and foreign entities, including a disregarded U.S. domestic entity that has a foreign owner, will generally not be subject to backup withholding if the stockholder or other payee: (a) provides the Depositary or other applicable withholding agent with a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or other appropriate IRS Form W-8, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to such stockholder’s or payee’s foreign status; or (b) otherwise establishes an exemption from backup withholding. An appropriate IRS Form W-8 may be obtained from the Depositary or the IRS website (www.irs.gov). Even if a non-U.S. stockholder or other non-U.S. payee has provided the required certification to avoid backup withholding, the Depositary or other withholding agent will generally withhold tax at a 30% rate (subject to certain exceptions) on payments made to non-U.S. stockholders or other non-U.S. payees pursuant to the Offer. See Sections 3 and 14 of the Offer to Purchase.

Stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine whether they are exempt from these backup withholding, withholding and reporting requirements.
