Explanation of Responses:

1. This statement is being filed by (i) Ares Corporate Opportunities Fund IV, L.P. ("ACOF IV"), (ii) ACOF Operating Manager IV, LLC ("ACOF Operating Manager IV"), (iii) Ares Management LLC, (iv) Ares Management Holdings L.P. ("Ares Management Holdings"), (v) Ares Holdco LLC ("Ares Holdco"), (vi) Ares Management Corporation ("Ares Management"), (vii) Ares Voting LLC ("Ares Voting"), (viii) Ares Management GP LLC ("Ares Management GP") and (ix) Ares Partners Holdco LLC ("Ares Partners") (collectively, the "Reporting Persons").

2. Ares Partners in the sole member of each of Ares Voting and Ares Management GP, which are respectively the holders of the Class B and Class C common stock of Ares Management, which common stock allows them, collectively, to generally have the majority of the votes on any matter submitted to the stockholders of Ares Management if certain conditions are met. Ares Management is the sole member of Ares Holdco, which is the general partner of Ares Management Holdings, which is the sole member of Ares Management LLC, which is the sole member of ACOF Operating Manager IV, LLC, which is the manager of ACOF IV.

3. Ares Partners is managed by a board of managers, which is composed of Michael J Arougheti, Ryan Berry, R. Kipp de Veer, David B. Kaplan, Antony P. Ressler and Bennett Rosenthal (collectively, the "Board Members"). Mr. Ressler generally has veto authority over Board Members' decisions.

4. Disposition pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated May 16, 2023 (the "Underwriting Agreement"), and in connection with the registered public offering of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the final prospectus dated May 16, 2023 and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 18, 2023 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which offering was consummated on May 16, 2023 (the "Offering"). In connection with the Offering, ACOF IV also granted the underwriter an option to purchase an additional 1,050,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Option") at the price listed in Table I above, which Option is exercisable for 30 days from the date of Underwriting Agreement. The Reporting Persons will report any further sales pursuant to the Option on Form 4.

5. Each of the Reporting Persons, other than ACOF IV, and the Board Members, and the other directors, officers, partners, equity holders, members and managers of the Reporting Persons, expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the Class A Common Stock, except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein, and this Form 4 shall not be deemed an admission that any such person or entity is the beneficial owner of, or has any pecuniary interest in, such securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purposes.

Remarks:

For so long as ACOF IV owns more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, ACOF IV has the right to nominate directors for election to the board of directors of the Issuer pursuant to a stockholders agreement, dated June 11, 2020, by and among the Issuer, ACOF IV and the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board ("OTPP"). ACOF IV previously nominated two directors to the Issuer's board of directors (the "Board"), one of whom is jointly appointed by ACOF IV and OTPP. As a result of the Offering, ACOF IV will no longer hold more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and will therefore no longer be entitled to nominate directors of the Board. ACOF IV's current director nominees will continue in their respective positions until their successors are duly elected. Accordingly, ACOF IV and each of its affiliates listed hereon may be deemed to be a director by deputization until such time.
