Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )Represents phantom awards (the "Phantom Shares") granted to the reporting person under the CPA Global Employee Phantom Share Plan (the "Phantom Plan"), which vested on October 1, 2021. Each Phantom Share is the equivalent of approximately 2.7 ordinary shares of the Issuer and entitle the reporting person to a cash payment equal to the weighted average sale price of all ordinary shares of the Issuer held by Capri Acquisition Topco Limited ("Capri TopCo"), or by an employee benefit trust on behalf of the reporting person, with respect to all Phantom Shares awarded under the Phantom Plan, multiplied by the number of ordinary shares of the Issuer underlying the reporting person's Phantom Shares. ( 2 )Represents the settlement of Phantom Shares held by the reporting person, as described in more detail in footnote 1, for cash. ( 3 )The reporting person's Form 3, filed on July 14, 2021, reported the Phantom Shares as indirectly held by Capri Topco. While the ordinary shares of the Issuer underlying the Phantom Shares were held by Capri TopCo, or by an employee benefit trust on behalf of the reporting person, the reporting person directly holds the Phantom Shares.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
