The Reporting Person owns 95% of KHC and therefore may be deemed the beneficial owner, for purposes of Rule 16a-1(a)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), of the 4,848,897 shares of Common Stock owned directly and indirectly by KHC. The Reporting Person acquired the 34,948,975 shares of Common Stock reported herein more than five years ago. |

As disclosed in a Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Person on May 9, 2022, on May 4, 2022, the Reporting Person and KHC, on behalf of Kingdom 5-KR-289, Ltd., a Cayman Islands company, which is wholly-owned by the Reporting Person, and KR-252, respectively, delivered to X Holdings I, Inc.

| 3. (continued from footnote 2) a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and, solely for the purpose of certain specified provisions, the Principal. By virtue of the HRH Equity Commitment Letter, the Reporting Person and the Principal may be deemed to have formed a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. Collectively, the "group" may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 108,064,013 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 14.1% of the Issuer's outstanding shares of Common Stock. Neither the filing of this Form 3 nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that the Reporting Person and the Principal are members of any such group. The Reporting Person disclaims the existence of any such group and disclaims any obligation to report his ownership of or transactions in the Issuer's Common Stock pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act. |
