Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch acted as dealer manager for the tender offer and Computershare Investor Services PLC acted as tender agent for the tender offer.  As dealer manager, Deutsche Bank determined the final purchase price at which the Tetragon Master Fund will purchase shares in the tender offer and the final proration factor.
