KGaA (Bertelsmann) and Erste WV Gutersloh GmbH, a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Bertelsmann (Erste, and collectively with Bertelsmann, the Reporting Person) consists of 34,074,134 Class B common shares and 27,001,946 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. With reference to Row 13: 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) 50,437,186 Class A common shares outstanding as of March 31, 2026 as reported by the Issuer in its Current Report on Form 6-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) on May 7, 2026 (as reduced by the number of treasury shares reported therein), 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 March 31, 2026, the number of Class A common shares outstanding was 50,437,186 and the percentage beneficially owned was 53.54%. With reference to Row 13: 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.
