Explanation of Responses:
(1)  Pursuant to an executed binding term sheet (the "Term Sheet"), dated as of August 5, 2019, by and among Kien Huat Realty III Limited ("Kien Huat"), Genting Malaysia Berhad ("GenM") and Gen (USA) Limited ("Gen USA"), Kien Huat sold 13,200,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Issuer ("Common Stock") to Gen USA.
(2)  Lim Kok Thay may be deemed to indirectly control Genting Berhad, which may be deemed to control GenM, which controls its indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, Gen USA. Kien Huat is indirectly controlled by Lim Kok Thay through two irrevocable private trusts: Golden Hope Unit Trust, a private unit trust held directly and indirectly by a discretionary trust established solely for the benefit of Lim Kok Thay and certain other members of his family (the "KH Discretionary Trust"). Lim Kok Thay may cause the removal of the trustee of each trust at any time in his sole discretion.
(3)  Genting Berhad may be deemed to be indirectly controlled by Lim Kok Thay through a discretionary trust of which Parkview Management Sdn Bhd is the trustee, which owns 100% of voting shares of Kien Huat International Limited, which, in turn, owns 100% of the voting shares in Kien Huat Realty Sdn Berhad ("KHR"), which, in turn owns 100% of the voting shares of Inverway Sdn Bhd ("Inverway"). KHR and Inverway own ordinary shares in Genting Berhad. Genting Berhad, Gen M, and Gen USA filed separately from the Reporting Persons.
(4)  Because of the relationship between Lim Kok Thay and Gen USA, Lim Kok Thay may be deemed to beneficially own the securities reported herein to the extent of his respective direct or indirect pecuniary interests in Gen USA. Lim Kok Thay disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, if any.
(5)  Kien Huat and Lim Kok Thay beneficially own directly 15,714,606 shares of Common Stock. Gen USA beneficially owns directly 13,200,000 shares of Common Stock.
