Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )On March 22, 2021, the Reporting Person forfeited at no cost 1,500,000 shares of Class B common stock in connection with the Underwriters' election not to exercise the over-allotment option. ( 2 )As described in the registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-253764) under the heading "Description of Securities--Founder Shares", the shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Accelerate Acquisition Corp. (the "Issuer") will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Issuer at the time of the Issuer's initial business combination, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and certain anti-dilution rights and have no expiration date. ( 3 )Accelerate Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the "Sponsor") is the record holder of the shares reported herein. The Sponsor is managed by a board of managers consisting of Robert Nardelli, Michael Simoff and Jeffrey Kaplan. Any action by the Sponsor with respect to the Issuer or the shares of Class B common stock, including voting and dispositive decisions, requires a majority vote of the managers of the board of managers. Under the so-called "rule of three," because voting and dispositive decisions are made by a majority of the Sponsor's managers, none of the managers of the Sponsor is deemed to be a beneficial owner of the Sponsor's securities, even those in which such manager holds a pecuniary interest.

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