Explanation of Responses:
1. This transaction is part of a series of related transactions completed in connection with the vesting and settlement of Growth Units previously granted pursuant to the Issuer's 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended. The performance-based vesting condition of the Growth Units was satisfied upon the listing and public trading of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock. The continued service vesting condition of the Growth Units was satisfied upon the Reporting Person continuing as a service provider through March 29, 2021 and thus the Growth Units vested on March 29, 2021.
2. (continuation from footnote 1) Each Growth Unit represented a contingent right to receive shares of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock; the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued following the vesting of the Growth Units was determined on the basis of a conversion formula that incorporated the closing sales price of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock on the first date such stock was publicly traded and other factors, as set out more fully in the Issuer's final prospectus filed with the SEC on September 30, 2020, pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
3. (continuation from footnote 2) As a result of the vesting of the Growth Units and the application of the conversion formula, an aggregate of 1,131,370 shares of Class A Common Stock were issued to the Reporting Person in two equal installments on March 30, 2021 (565,685 shares) and March 31, 2021 (565,685 shares) and certain of those shares were automatically sold to cover required tax withholding obligations in connection with the settlement of the shares on each of those dates. All the foregoing transactions were conducted in compliance with the Reporting Person's preexisting Rule 10b5-1 trading plan.
4. Includes 2,449 shares received pursuant to a pro rata distribution from The Founders Fund, LP. The acquisition of such shares was exempt from immediate reporting pursuant to Rule 16a-9.
