Explanation of Responses:

1. Each restricted stock unit ("RSU") represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock.

2. Includes 464,481 earn-out shares that will vest in substantially equal installments if the Issuer's Class A Common Stock achieves a price per share for any period of 20 trading days out of 30 consecutive trading days prior to September 16, 2026 that equals or exceeds the following thresholds: $15.00, $17.50 and $20.00.

3. The Reporting Person is the manager of the general partner of Novalis LifeSciences Investments I, L.P. ("Novalis LifeSciences"), and as such, has sole voting and dispositive power over the shares held by Novalis LifeSciences and, as a result, may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the shares held by Novalis LifeSciences.

4. In accordance with the Issuer's Non-Employee Director Compensation Program, the RSUs granted on June 16, 2023 vested in full in Class A shares on June 12, 2024, which was the day immediately prior to the date of the Issuer's next Annual Meeting of Shareholders occurring after the grant date, and was subject to the Reporting Person continuing in service as a Non-Employee Director of the Issuer through such date.
