Entities affiliated with each of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.

By virtue of the Stockholder Agreement and the obligations and rights thereunder, the Reporting Persons, the Stockholders and/or certain of their affiliates may be deemed to constitute a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Technology Crossover Ventures no longer holds any shares of Class A Common Stock as of December 7, 2017 and no longer may be deemed a member of such a “group.” Based in part on information provided by the Issuer, such a “group” would be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 47,628,758 shares of Class A Common Stock (including shares of Class A Common Stock receivable upon conversion of Units of Desert Newco, LLC), or 29.1% of the Class A Common Stock of the Issuer calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership over any shares of Class A Common Stock that they may be deemed to beneficially own solely by reason of the Stockholder Agreement. Certain entities affiliated with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., Technology Crossover Ventures and Mr. Parsons are separately making Schedule 13G filings reporting their beneficial ownership of shares of Class A Common Stock.


If all Units of Desert Newco, LLC held by the Reporting Persons and all other holders were exchanged for newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock, there would be a total of 166,386,235 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of December 4, 2017, as set forth in the prospectus supplement dated December 4, 2017 filed by the Issuer on December 5, 2017, and the Reporting Persons would be deemed, in the aggregate, to be the beneficial owners of 9.5% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock.
