("VGE III") and Viking Long Fund Master Ltd. ("VLFM," and together with VGE, VGE II and VGE III, the "Viking Funds"). VGP is the general partner of VGE and VGE II and the investment manager of VGE III. VLFGP serves as the investment manager of VLFM. Each of the Viking Funds, VGI, VGP, VLFGP, Mr. Halvorsen, Mr. Ott and Mr. Sundheim (collectively, the "Reporting Persons") may be deemed to beneficially own the shares reported on this form.

On April 13, 2016, VGE converted its 5,413,702 shares of Class B Common into 5,413,702 shares of Class A Common, VGE II converted its 317,519 shares of Class B Common into 317,519 shares of Class A Common, VGE III converted its 10,144,738 shares of Class B Common into 10,144,738 shares of Class A Common, and VLFM converted its 5,874,105 shares of Class B Common into 5,874,105 shares of Class A Common.
(3)	VGI provides managerial services to (i) VGE, which directly holds 5,413,702 shares of Class A Common; (ii) VGE II, which directly holds 317,519 shares of Class A Common; (iii) VGE III, which directly holds 10,144,738 shares of Class A Common; and (iv) VLFM, which directly holds 5,874,105 shares of Class A Common.
(4)	Because of the relationship between VGI and the Viking Funds, VGI may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Class A Common directly held by the Viking Funds. VGP is the general partner of VGE and VGE II and the investment manager of VGE III. Because of the relationships between VGP and VGE, VGE II and VGE III, respectively, VGP may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Class A Common directly held by VGE, VGE II and VGE III. VLFGP serves as the investment manager of VLFM. Because of the relationship between VLFGP and VLFM, VLFGP may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Class A Common directly held by VLFM.
