Explanation of Responses:

1. Represents restricted stock units awarded to each of Kenneth Y. Hao and Michael Widmann, directors of the Issuer and executives of Silver Lake Group, L.L.C. ("SLG"), pursuant to the annual equity grant under the Issuer's non-employee director compensation policy that entitle the reporting person to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock per restricted stock unit upon vesting. The restricted stock units vest 100% on the one-year anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued service through such date.

2. On July 19, 2021, the Issuer announced the completion of the spin-off of its N-able business. In connection with the spin-off, outstanding Issuer restricted stock units were adjusted such that each restricted stock unit award was converted into 1.5744 restricted stock units. On July 30, 2021, the Issuer's Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend, payable on August 9, 2021. As a result, pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the Issuer's 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, outstanding restricted stock units were adjusted such that each restricted stock unit awarded to the reporting person was converted into 1.0862 restricted stock units. The number of securities beneficially owned has been adjusted to reflect the inclusion of such restricted stock units, as adjusted in connection with the spin off adjustment and special cash dividend.

3. The number of securities beneficially owned has been adjusted to reflect the 1-for-2 reverse stock split effected by the Issuer on July 30, 2021.

5. These securities are directly held by Silver Lake Partners IV, L.P. ("SLP IV"). The general partner of SLP IV is Silver Lake Technology Associates IV, L.P. ("SLTA IV"), and the general partner of SLTA IV is SLTA IV (GP), L.L.C. ("SLTA IV GP").
