Item 3 summarizes the KKR Conversion and is incorporated by reference herein.

On December 1, 2022, pursuant to the terms of their respective Support Agreements, the Founder, Vista and Elephant converted 2,189,121, 14,557,960 and 17,069,823 shares of Class B Common Stock, respectively, into Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis (the “Founder, Vista and Elephant Conversions”).

After the KKR Conversion, KKR Knowledge holds a total of 26,115,895 shares of Common Stock, based on 12,048,193 shares of Class A Common Stock and 14,067,702 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Issuer, convertible at any time at the option of the holder into 14,067,702 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer, representing approximately 17.9% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 13d-3”). Calculation of the Class A Common Stock beneficially owned is based on (i) an assumption of a total 131,858,657 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, based on 85,993,560 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding as of November 4, 2022, as disclosed in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange

KKR Knowledge GP (as the general partner of KKR Knowledge), KKR Next Generation L.P. (as the sole member of KKR Knowledge GP), KKR Associates (as the general partner of KKR Next Generation L.P.), KKR Next Gen Growth (as the general partner of KKR Associates), KKR Group Partnership (as the sole shareholder of KKR Next Gen Growth), KKR Group Holdings (as the general partner of KKR Group Partnership), KKR Group Co.

Kravis and Roberts (as the founding partners of KKR Management LLP) may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities reported herein.

The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any of the above-listed entities or individuals is the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Schedule 13D.

To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the individuals named in Item 2 of the Schedule 13D beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock except as described in the Schedule 13D.

In addition, as discussed in Item 2 of the Schedule 13D, by virtue of the agreements made pursuant to the KKR Knowledge Support Agreement and Equity Commitment Letter, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be acting as a group for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities and Exchange Act with the other Investors. Each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of all securities owned by the other Investors. Shares beneficially owned by the other Investors are not the subject of the Schedule 13D or this Amendment No. 1 and, accordingly, none of the other Investors are included as reporting persons therein or herein.

(c) Item 3 summarizes the KKR Conversion and is incorporated by reference herein. Except as set forth in the Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons, or, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any other individual named in Item 2 has engaged in any transaction in any shares of Class A Common Stock during the 60 calendar days preceding the date of this filing.
