(1)Aggregate amount beneficially owned by Bertelsmann SE & Co. KGaA (“Bertelsmann”) and Erste WV Gütersloh GmbH, a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Bertelsmann (“Erste” and collectively with Bertelsmann, the “Reporting Person”) consists of 29,074,134 Class B common shares and 16,137,280 Class A common shares held of record by the Reporting Person. Each Class B common share held of record by the Reporting Person is convertible into one Class A common share at the option of its holder at any time.

 

(2)Represents the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the number of Class B common shares and Class A common shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person as set forth in Row 11 by (b) the sum of (i) 46,146,590 Class A common shares outstanding as of December 31, 2023 as reported by the Issuer in its Current Report on Form 6-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 14, 2024 (as reduced by the number of treasury shares as reported therein and as increased by the number of Class B common shares converted to Class A common shares as reported to the Reporting Person by the Issuer on March 18, 2024), and (ii) the aggregate number of Class B common shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person. The aggregate number of Class B common shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person as set forth in clauses “(a)” and “(b)” of this footnote are treated as converted into Class A common shares only for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of the Reporting Person. As of December 31, 2023, the number of Class A common shares outstanding was 44,146,590 and the percentage beneficially owned was 60.52%.

 

(3)Each Class A common share is entitled to one vote, and each Class B common share is entitled to ten votes. The percentage reported does not reflect the ten for one voting power of the Class B common shares because the Class B common shares are treated as converted into Class A common shares for the purpose of this report.
