2. cont'd from Footnote 1: (i) a combination of 1.866 shares of Parent's Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Parent Class A Common Stock"), and $15.31 in cash (the "Mixed Consideration"), (ii) $38.00 in cash (the "Cash Election Consideration"), (iii) 3.125 shares of Parent Class A Common Stock (the "Stock Election Consideration"), or (iv) in the event of the Reporting Person's failure to timely deliver an election, the Stock Election Consideration.

3. This amount includes 28,901 shares of Issuer Common Stock subject to awards of time-vesting restricted stock units ("RSUs") held by the Reporting Person as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement and as of the effective time of the Merger, were converted into the right to receive (i) a cash payment equal to the product of (A) 50% of the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock subject to the RSU as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, multiplied by (B) the Cash Election Consideration and (ii) a number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (A) 50% of the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock subject to the RSU as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, multiplied by (B) the Stock Election Consideration.

4. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the merger, each outstanding award of options to purchase shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Person as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger became fully vested and was cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to (i) the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock subject to each such option as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, multiplied by (ii) the difference between the Cash Election Consideration and the exercise price per share of the Issuer Common Stock subject to such option.

5. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the merger, each outstanding award of performance-vesting restricted stock units ("PSUs") held by the Reporting Person as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger became fully vested and was cancelled and converted into the right to receive (i) a cash payment equal to the product of (A) 50% of the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock subject to the PSU as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (assuming that all performance-based vesting conditions applicable to such PSU were achieved at the maximum level of performance), multiplied by (B) the Cash Election Consideration and

6. cont'd from Footnote 5: (ii) a number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (A) 50% of the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock subject to the PSU as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (assuming that all performance-based vesting conditions applicable to such PSU were achieved at the maximum level of performance), multiplied by (B) the Stock Election Consideration.
