Explanation of Responses:

1. Each restricted stock unit ("RSU") represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock. Such shares of Class A Common Stock may be exchanged for shares of Class B Common Stock at the option of the Reporting Person.

2. Represents the conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock to shares of Class A Common Stock.

3. Shares of the Class B Common Stock may be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock, on a one-to-one basis, at the option of the holder at any time and have no expiration date.

4. Represents shares sold by the Reporting Person to cover tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock and/or restricted stock units. Sales to cover tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of such securities do not represent discretionary trades by the Reporting Person. The Issuer's equity incentive plans allow the Issuer to require that satisfaction of tax withholding obligations be funded by a "sell to cover" transaction.

5. The RSUs vest in 48 equal monthly installments, which began on April 1, 2023.

6. Includes shares of Class B Common Stock that are subject to vesting conditions.
