        <transactionPurpose>Rule 144 Sale

On February 10, 2025, the Investor Sellers sold an aggregate of 11,250,000 shares of Common Stock in an unregistered block sale transaction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at a net price per share of $9.00 (the "Block Sale"). The Reporting Persons sold an aggregate of 3,750,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Block Sale.

The Block Sale was consummated as part of the Reporting Person's normal course evaluation of its investment. The Reporting Person intends to monitor and evaluate its investment on an ongoing basis and expects to regularly review and consider alternative ways of maximizing its return on such investment. Subject to market conditions, valuations, regulatory approvals and any other approvals, the Reporting Person may acquire additional securities of the Issuer or dispose of any or all securities of the Issuer in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.</transactionPurpose>

        <percentageOfClassSecurities>The responses to Item 11 and Item 13 on each of the cover pages of this Statement are incorporated herein by reference.

After giving effect to closing of the Block Sale, Triton LuxTop directly holds 4,795,334 shares of Common Stock. The shareholders of Triton LuxTop are Triton Lux EquityCo SARL and Connect Syndication L.P. Apax IX, in its capacity as ultimate general partner of the Apax IX Fund, is the sole shareholder of Triton Lux EquityCo SARL. Apax IX is also the sole shareholder of Connect Syndication GP Co. Limited, the General Partner of Connect Syndication L.P. Apax IX is the investment manager of each of Apax IX EUR L.P., Apax IX EUR Co-Investment L.P., Apax IX USD L.P. and Apax IX USD Co-Investment L.P. (together the "Apax IX Fund") and is controlled by a board of directors consisting of Elizabeth Burne, Simon Cresswell, Andrew Guille, Martin Halusa, Paul Meader and Jeremy Latham.

As a result of the Coordination Agreement described in Item 6, the Investor Sellers may be deemed to be members of a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act. After giving effect to the Block Sale, such "group" would beneficially own an aggregate of 22,931,334 shares of Common Stock, representing 17.76% shares of Common Stock outstanding as of January 24, 2025, based on information provided by the Issuer. The securities reported herein by the Reporting Persons do not include any Common Stock beneficially owned by the other parties to the Stockholders Agreement or the Coordination Agreement not included as Reporting Persons on this Statement (the "Other Shares" and "Other Parties," respectively). The Other Parties have been notified that they may need to file separate beneficial ownership reports with the SEC related to their beneficial ownership of the Other Shares and membership in the "group" described herein. Neither the filing of this Statement nor any of its contents, however, shall be deemed to constitute an admission by the Reporting Persons that any of them is the beneficial owner of any of Other Shares for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.</percentageOfClassSecurities>
