Explanation of Responses:

1. The Reporting Person is a managing director of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC ("Goldman Sachs"). Goldman Sachs is a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. ("GS Group"). The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, if any, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of, or has any pecuniary interest in, such securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose.

2. Pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated September 13, 2018 (the "Underwriting Agreement") and a prospectus dated September 13, 2018, and in connection with a registered public offering (the "Offering") of the common shares, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Shares"), of Americold Realty Trust (the "Company"), certain investment partnerships (the "GS Investors"), as selling shareholders in the Offering, sold 7,537,921 Common Shares at $23.53715 per share, which represents the $24.50 Offering price per Common Share, less an underwriting discount of $0.96285 per Common Share. The Offering was consummated on September 18, 2018.

3. In connection with the Offering and pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the underwriters exercised their option (the "Over-Allotment Option") to purchase additional Common Shares from the selling shareholders. The Over-Allotment Option closed simultaneously with the Offering on September 18, 2018. The GS Investors sold an additional 1,545,359 Common Shares pursuant to the underwriters' exercise of the Over-Allotment Option.

4. Goldman Sachs beneficially owns directly and GS Group may be deemed to beneficially own indirectly 185,096 Common Shares and Goldman Sachs also had open short positions of 7,093 Common Shares, reflecting changes due to exempt transactions. Both Goldman Sachs and GS Group may be deemed to beneficially own indirectly in the aggregate 14,561,228 Common Shares owned by the GS Investors because affiliates of Goldman Sachs and GS Group are the general partner, managing limited partner, managing general partner, managing partner, managing member or member of each of the GS Investors. Goldman Sachs is a subsidiary of GS Group. Goldman Sachs is the investment manager of certain of the GS Investors.
