2. Without conceding riskless principal trades in connection with client trade facilitation in the ordinary course of business can result in liability under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), the amount of profit potentially recoverable by the Issuer from the reported transactions in the event that they were subject to Section 16(b) has been remitted to the Issuer.

6. As of November 6, 2020, Goldman Sachs and GS Group may have been deemed to beneficially own indirectly, in the aggregate, 43,481,933 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer by reason of the direct or indirect beneficial ownership of such shares as follows: (i) BSPI owned directly 10,507,085 shares of Common Stock, (ii) StoneBridge 2017 owned directly 683,221 shares of Common Stock, (iii) StoneBridge 2017 Offshore owned directly 315,779 shares of Common Stock, (iv) VWR owned directly 29,007,209 shares of Common Stock, (v) StoneBridge 2018 owned directly 2,089,674 shares of Common Stock and (vi) StoneBridge 2018 Offshore owned directly 878,965 shares of Common Stock.
