Explanation of Responses: |
1. The securities may be deemed to be beneficially owned by Mr. Bruce R. Berkowitz (the "Reporting Person") because he controls the sole member of a registered investment adviser, which may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the securities because it serves as the investment manager to a registered investment company and certain private funds and managed accounts. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership in the securities reported on this Form 3 except to the extent of his pecuniary interest, if any, therein, and this report shall not be deemed to be an admission that the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose. |
2. The Class A common shares of Seritage Growth Properties (the "Issuer"), par value $0.01 per share (each, a "Class A Share"), were acquired through the exercise of subscription rights (each, a "Class A Right").

3. The Class C non-voting common shares of the Issuer, par value $0.01 per share (each, a "Class C Share"), were acquired through the exercise of subscription rights (each, a "Class C Right").
