Explanation of Responses:
( 1 )Without conceding riskless principal trades in connection with client trade facilitation in the ordinary course of business can result in liability under Section 16(b), the amount of profit potentially recoverable by Avantor, Inc (the "Issuer") from the reported transactions has been remitted to the Issuer.
( 2 )These transactions in the Issuer's common stock (the "Common Stock") have not previously been reported on Form 4 and were effected by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC ("Goldman Sachs") acting as agent on behalf of certain international affiliates that had entered into riskless principal trades in connection with client trade facilitation in the ordinary course of their business.
( 3 )This statement is being filed by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. ("GS Group"), Goldman Sachs, Broad Street Principal Investments, L.L.C. ("BSPI"), StoneBridge 2017, L.P. ("StoneBridge 2017"), StoneBridge 2017 Offshore, L.P. ("StoneBridge 2017 Offshore"), VWR Partners, L.P. ("VWR"), StoneBridge 2018, L.P. ("StoneBridge 2018"), StoneBridge 2018 Offshore, L.P. ("StoneBridge 2018 Offshore" and, together with StoneBridge 2017, StoneBridge 2017 Offshore, VWR and StoneBridge 2018, the "GS Funds") and Bridge Street Opportunity Advisors, L.L.C. ("Bridge Street"). GS Group, Goldman Sachs, BSPI, the GS Funds and Bridge Street are defined collectively as the "Reporting Persons".
( 4 )Bridge Street is the sole general partner of each of the GS Funds and may be deemed to beneficially own shares of Common Stock by reason of direct beneficial ownership of such shares by the GS Funds.
( 5 )Goldman Sachs and GS Group may be deemed to beneficially own indirectly shares of Common Stock by reason of direct beneficial ownership of such shares by the GS Funds and BSPI. Bridge Street, the sole general partner of each of the GS Funds, is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of GS Group. Goldman Sachs is the manager of BSPI and Bridge Street, and the investment manager of each of the GS Funds. Goldman Sachs is a direct subsidiary of GS Group.
( 6 )Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein, if any, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that any such Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of, or has any pecuniary interest in, such securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, or for any other purpose.
( 7 )The Reporting Persons are currently analyzing additional trading activity in the Issuer's equity securities and, if necessary, will file another Form 4 as promptly as reasonably practicable once that analysis is complete.
( 8 )The Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") is convertible into shares of the Issuer's Common Stock. At any time prior to May 15, 2022, holders of the Preferred Stock may elect to convert each share of the Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at the minimum conversion rate of 3.0395 shares of Common Stock per share of Preferred Stock.
