Christ (“Mr. Christ”) is the Trustee of the Christ Revocable Trust dated May 8, 2015 (the “Christ Trust”), and the Manager of GC Investments, LLC (the “GC LLC” and, collectively with Mr. Christ and the Christ Trust, the “Reporting Persons”).

As of the Event Date, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 9,450,684 shares of Class A Common Stock. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock reported above consists of (i) 4,481,778 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 4,481,778 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), of the Company held by the Christ Trust, (ii) 4,044,004 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 4,044,004 shares of Class B Common Stock held by the GC LLC, (iii) 400,000 shares of Class A Common Stock held by the GC LLC, (iv) 149,954 shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Christ Trust, (v) 187,475 shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Dana Trust and (vi) 187,475 shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Lauren Trust.
