•

Vista SPV Holdings may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to (and therefore beneficially own) 14,557,960 shares of Issuer Class A Common Stock representing approximately 11.0% of the Issuer Class A Common Stock as calculated in accordance with the above; and

•

CUSIP No. 49926T104		13D/A		Page 7 of 7 pages

Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that the Reporting Persons are the beneficial owners of the shares of Issuer Class A Common Stock or Issuer Class B Common Stock referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

As a result of the matters described in Item 4 above, the Reporting Persons, KKR, Elephant and the Founder (the “Investors”) and certain of their affiliates may collectively be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Act. The total number of shares of Issuer Common Stock subject to these voting agreements as described in the Support Agreements, based on the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock owned by each of KKR, Elephant, the Founder and the Reporting Persons in the aggregate, is 84,100,736 (including 36,360,639 shares of Issuer Class B Common Stock), or approximately 50.0% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock. As a member of a group, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own any shares of Issuer Common Stock that may be beneficially owned by each other member of the group. Each of the Investors expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of all securities owned by the other Investors. Shares beneficially owned by the other Investors are not the subject of this Schedule 13D and, accordingly, none of the other Investors are included as reporting persons herein.
