(a) – (b)

The following sets forth, as of the date of this Schedule 13D, the aggregate number of shares of Class A-1 Common Stock and percentage of Class A-1 Common Stock beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons, as well as the number of shares of Class A-1 Common Stock as to which each Reporting Person has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition, or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of, as of the date hereof, based on 78,230,060 shares of the Issuer’s Class A-1 Common Stock outstanding as of March 12, 2020. All increases of shares of Class A-1 Common Stock in the table below as compared to the amounts disclosed in the Statement as amended on January 15, 2020 are attributable to the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed by Accel on February 19, 2020 (as amended on March 16, 2020) registering shares of Class A-1 Common Stock underlying warrants of Accel held by the Reporting Persons.
