Explanation of Responses:

1. As described in the issuer's registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-252916) under the heading "Description of Securities", the Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, will automatically convert into Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the issuer at the time of the issuer's initial business combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and certain anti-dilution rights and have no expiration date.

2. This Form 4 reflects the automatic surrender to the issuer of 251,880 of the issuer's shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, for no consideration by Gladstone Sponsor, LLC (the "Sponsor") pursuant to contractual arrangements with the issuer, triggered by the expiration of the option of the underwriter of the issuer's initial public offering to purchase additional units.

3. The securities reported herein are held by the Sponsor. The reporting person controls the Sponsor, and as such has voting and investment discretion with respect to the securities held by the Sponsor and may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the securities held directly by the Sponsor. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, and the inclusion of these securities in this report shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of all of the reported securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
