Appendix: Non-GAAP Reconciliations Footnotes Below are additional information to the adjustments for Adjusted EBITDA: (1) As a result of our Sponsors' acquisition from Intel of a majority interest in Foundation Technology Worldwide LLC in April 2017 (“Sponsor Acquisition”), cash awards were provided to certain employees who held Intel equity awards in lieu of equity in Foundation Technology Worldwide LLC (“FTW”). In addition, as a result of the Skyhigh acquisition, cash awards were provided to certain employees who held Skyhigh equity awards in lieu of equity in FTW and vest over multiple periods based on employee service requirements. As these rollover awards reflect one-time grants to former employees of Intel and Skyhigh Networks in connection with these transactions, we believe this expense is not reflective of our ongoing results. (2) Represents both direct and incremental costs in connection with business acquisitions, including acquisition consideration structured as cash retention, third party professional fees, and other integration costs. (3) Represents both direct and incremental costs associated with costs to execute strategic restructuring events, including third-party professional fees and services, severance, and facility restructuring costs. (4) Represents management fees paid to certain affiliates of our Sponsors and Intel pursuant to the Management Services Agreement. (5) Represents costs incurred in connection with the announced sale of the Enterprise Business. Also includes costs incurred for transformational initiatives inclusive of duplicative run rate costs related to facilities and data center rationalization in 2020. (6) Represents severance for executive terminations not associated with a strategic restructuring event. (7) Represents Foreign exchange gain (loss), net as shown on the consolidated statements of operations. This amount is attributable to gains or losses on non-U.S. Dollar denominated balances and is primarily due to unrealized gains or losses associated with our 1st Lien Euro Term Loan. 17
