The reported securities include 15,373,343 Class A Shares and 112,048,184 Common Units and Class B Shares (collectively, the “Reported Securities”). The Common Units (together with an equal number of corresponding Class B Shares delivered for cancellation) are convertible into an equivalent number of Class A Shares (unless the Issuer decides to settle such conversions in cash) and, prior to such exchange, the Class B Shares vote together with the Class A Shares on all matters and accordingly provides as-converted voting rights to holder of Common Units.
Pursuant to the Director Nomination Agreement, dated as of July 26, 2021, among Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc., the Reporting Person and the other parties thereto (the “Agreement”), the Reporting Person serves as the authorized representative with discretion to exercise voting rights with respect to the Issuer’s securities held by parties thereto (the “Ryan Party Securities”). In addition, the Reporting Person may have shared or sole control over the voting or disposition of Issuer securities that are held in certain trusts and accounts managed by, or for the benefit of, members of the Reporting Person’s immediate family and others, but which are not Ryan Party Securities under the Agreement (“Additional Ryan Securities”). As a result, the Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own all of the Ryan Party Securities and the Additional Ryan Securities and the amount of Reported Securities reported in this Statement reflects the aggregate beneficial ownership of the foregoing. With respect to certain of such trusts and accounts, Shirley W. Ryan, the Reporting Person’s spouse, serves as trustee and may be deemed to beneficially own the Reported Securities held therein, but disclaims such beneficial ownership. The filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that either the Reporting Person or his spouse is, for the purpose of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Statement.
