The issuance of the shares in the Exchange Offer was registered pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended, filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 14, 2020, and the prospectus related thereto filed on August 14, 2020. Prior to the completion of the Exchange Offer, each warrant held by the Reporting Person entitled the Reporting Person to purchase one share of Class A-1 Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50, subject to certain adjustments. ( 2 )The securities reported in this row are indirectly owned by the Reporting Person through Clairvest Equity Partners V Limited Partnership, an Ontario limited partnership ("CEP V"), Clairvest Equity Partners V-A Limited Partnership, an Ontario limited partnership ("CEP V-A"), and CEP V Co-Investment Limited Partnership, a Manitoba limited partnership ("CEP Co-Invest", and together with CEP V and CEP V-A, the "Clairvest Investors"), each of which is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Reporting Person.
