Explanation of Responses:

1. Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the reporting person into one share of Class A Common Stock and has no expiration date. The Class B Common Stock will convert automatically into Class A Common Stock on the same basis upon the earlier of: (1) any transfer, whether or not for value, except for certain "Permitted Transfers" as defined in the Issuer's restated certificate of incorporation in effect as of the date hereof, (ii) the affirmative vote of the holders of Class B Common Stock representing not less than a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, or (iii) October 6, 2025.

2. On May 31, 2017, a limited partner (the "Limited Partner") of Sutter Hill Ventures, a California Limited Partnership ("SHV") liquidated its interest in SHV in return for its ratable share of the holdings of SHV, resulting in SHV's disposition to the Limited Partner of 4,098,151 shares of the Issuer's Class B Common Stock (the "Liquidation").

3. In connection with the Liquidation, SHV entered into an agreement with the Limited Partner to repurchase 3,073,613 shares of the Issuer's Class B Common Stock from the Limited Partner at a purchase price equal to the average of the mean between the closing bid and ask prices of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock, which is traded on the New York Stock Exchange, over the ninety (90)-day period ended March 31, 2017.
