UBS Investment Bank and Guggenheim Securities, LLC served as financial advisors to Ensono. Morgan Stanley & Co LLC and RBC Capital Markets, LLC served as financial advisors to KKR. Goodwin Procter LLP provided legal counsel to Ensono and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP served as KKR’s legal counsel.
