(the "Issuer") held by Viking Cake Fuel, LLC, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Viking Cake BR, LLC. Holders of LLC Units may elect to have Black Rock OpCo redeem their LLC Units for either shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis or, at the Issuer's election (determined solely by the Issuer's independent directors who are disinterested), to effect such transaction as a direct exchange with the relevant holder.

The total outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock used in calculating the percent of class assumes the conversion of all of the Reporting Person's LLC Units into Class A Common Stock, resulting in a total of 23,287,843 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding (which reflects the sum of (i) 17,478,452 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of March 1, 2026 and (ii) 5,809,391 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Reporting Person's LLC Units).
