Explanation of Responses: |
1. Shares were sold in a transaction instituted by the Issuer on the Reporting Person's behalf to cover estimated taxes associated with the vesting and settlement of restricted stock units. |
2. On December 20, 2024, the Reporting Person filed a Form 4, which inadvertently reported a gift of 31,556 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock when the actual number of shares gifted was 31,566. The total number of shares of Class A common stock held by the Reporting Person has been corrected herein accordingly. |
3. The Class B Units of Viant Technology LLC ("Class B Units") are exchangeable, at the holder's option, on a one-for-one basis into shares of Class A common stock of the Issuer. Upon exchange of a Class B Unit, the corresponding share of Class B common stock will be automatically cancelled. |
4. The Reporting Person holds a one-third interest in Capital V LLC and may therefore be deemed to have an indirect pecuniary interest in one-third of Capital V LLC's total holdings. |

Pursuant to the Unit Exchange and Purchase Agreement dated September 15, 2025, the Issuer has purchased an aggregate of 941,777 shares of Class A common stock from Capital V LLC for an aggregate price of approximately $9,000,000. The Reporting Person sold such shares to the Issuer in connection with tax planning. |
