The Reporting Person, AES Grid Stability, LLC and Siemens Industry, Inc. (collectively, the “Stockholders”) are parties to a Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholder Agreement”), which contains, among other things, certain provisions relating to transfer of, and coordination of the voting of, securities of the Issuer by the parties thereto.

 

By virtue of the Stockholder Agreement and the obligations and rights thereunder, certain of the Reporting Persons acknowledge and agree that they are acting as a “group” with the other Stockholders within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
