("Fund VIII-E"), and in that capacity, these funds have the power to appoint the directors of Sensata SA. Because of the relationships described in footnotes (3) and (4) below, Bain Capital Investors, LLC ("BCI") may be deemed to control Fund VIII and Fund VIII-E and thus may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to the ordinary shares of the Issuer held by Sensata Investment Co.

Each Bain Capital Fund disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares owned by Sensata Investment Co. except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein.
4. BCI is the managing general partner of BCIP III, BCIP Trust III, BCIP III-B, BCIP Trust III-B and BCIP-G.

BCI is also the general partner of Bain Capital Partners VIII-E, L.P., which is the general partner of Fund VIII-E. By virtue of the relationships described in the footnotes, BCI may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to the ordinary shares of the Issuer that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Bain Capital Funds. BCI and each of the Bain Capital Funds disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares owned by Sensata Investment Co. except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.
5. The governance, investment strategy and decision making process with respect to the investments held by the Bain Capital Funds is directed by BCI's Global Private Equity Board ("GPEB"). Mr. Stephen Zide is a Managing Director of BCI and a member of GPEB. By virtue of the relationships described in these footnotes, Mr. Zide may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to the ordinary shares of the Issuer held by Sensata Investment Co.
