Explanation of Responses:

1. These shares of Class A Common Stock are owned directly by Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. ("NSC"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nomura Holdings, Inc. ("NHI"), and accordingly NHI may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Class A Common Stock held by NSC.

Remarks:

According to a Form 8-K filing by the Issuer on June 23, 2016, the outstanding number of Class A shares was reduced to 29,257,996. The reporting person's holdings became 11.189%, which is greater than 10%, and hence we are filing this Form 3.
