SCHEDULE 6

Assignor and the U.S. Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the “PBGC”) entered into an agreement on May 13, 2019 to terminate the Imation Cash Balance Pension Plan (the “Plan”) based on PBGC’s finding that (i) the Plan did not meet the minimum funding standard required under Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; (ii) the Plan would be unable to pay benefits when due and (iii) the Plan should be terminated in order to protect the interests of the Plan participants. Assignor and any other members of Assignor’s controlled group (within the meaning of 29 U.S.C. §1301(a)(14)) (collectively, and including the Company, the “Controlled Group Members”)) are jointly and severally liable to the PBGC for all liabilities under Title IV of ERISA in connection with the Plan’s termination, including unfunded benefit liabilities, due and unpaid Plan contributions, premiums, and interest on each of the foregoing, as a result of which a lien in favor of the Plan, on all property of each Controlled Group Member, arose and was perfected by PBGC (the “Lien”).
