Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Item 6 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

On October 16, 2015, Norfolk County Retirement System (“Plaintiff”), a purported former holder of Class B common stock of the Issuer, filed a complaint on behalf of a putative class of Class B common stockholders in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut against certain directors of the Issuer, the Issuer and BTNA (collectively, “Defendants”) in an action entitled Norfolk County Retirement System v. Carlos M. Cardoso, et al., Case 3:15-cv-01507 (the “Action”), challenging the then-proposed reclassification under the Reclassification Agreement. On October 20, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion for expedited proceedings in the Action in support of a forthcoming motion for an injunction. On October 21, 2015 and November 16, 2015, the Issuer amended its Registration Statement on Form S-4, making clear that the repurchase of an additional $250 million of the Issuer’s Common Stock was not contingent on the transaction, and providing more information about the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation and the evaluation of the Issuer’s reclassification. Plaintiff then withdrew its motion for expedited discovery.

On February 1, 2016, Plaintiff filed its amended class action and derivative complaint. The amended complaint contains allegations and claims for relief that are generally similar to Plaintiff’s previous complaint, but also asserts that Plaintiff has the right to sue derivatively on behalf of the Issuer to recoup damages supposedly sustained by the Issuer in connection with the reclassification and includes derivative claims. Thereafter, Plaintiff and Defendants engaged in arm’s-length settlement discussions. On June 21, 2016, Plaintiff and Defendants entered into a Stipulation of Settlement (the “Stipulation”), which provides for the complete settlement, release and dismissal of all claims alleged in the Action. The settlement is subject to, among other things, court approval.

Under the Stipulation, among other things, if the Stipulation is approved by the Court and the settlement becomes final, (a) for a period of 150 days from and after the date upon which the settlement becomes final, BTNA has agreed that it will refrain from engaging in any sales of the Issuer’s Common Stock unless it determines, in its sole discretion, that the failure to sell the Issuer’s Common Stock will constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Trusts and their beneficiaries and (b) for a period of 365 days from and after the date upon which the settlement becomes final, the Issuer has agreed that it will refrain from knowingly repurchasing any shares of Common Stock of the Issuer from BTNA in a block trade, in a privately negotiated transaction between the Issuer and BTNA or through a stock repurchase program similar in structure to the Issuer's previous stock repurchase program and authorized by the Issuer’s board of directors.

SIGNATURES

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this Statement is true, complete, and correct.
