        <footnote id="F1">Represents OP Profits Units (&quot;OP Profits Units&quot;) of Americold Realty Operating Partnership, L.P. (&quot;Operating Partnership&quot;), which vest on the first anniversary of the grant date.  The OP Profits Units were issued to the reporting person pursuant to the Americold Realty Trust 2017 Equity Incentive Plan.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Conditioned upon minimum allocations to the capital accounts of the OP Profits Units for federal income tax purposes, each vested OP Profits Unit may be converted, at the election of the holder, into a common unit of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (a &quot;Common Unit&quot;).  Each Common Unit acquired upon conversion of a vested OP Profits Unit may be presented for redemption, at the election of the holder, for cash equal to the then fair market value of a common share of Americold Realty Trust (the &quot;Company&quot;) (the &quot;Common Shares&quot;), except that the Company may, at its election, acquire each Common Unit so presented for one Common Share.  The rights to convert vested OP Profits Units into Common Units and redeem Common Units have no expiration dates.</footnote>
