        <footnote id="F1">The reporting person is the sole manager of Cray Family Management, LLC (&quot;Cray Management&quot;), which is the general partner of Cray MGP Holdings, LP. On September 5, 2023, Cray MGP Holdings LP settled two forward sale contracts, each an obligation to deliver shares of the Issuer's common stock, that were entered into on June 7, 2023 as separate redemption agreements among Cray MGP Holdings LP, Cray Management and each of two limited partners of Cray MGP Holdings, LP. Among other things, each redemption agreement obligated or obligates, as the case may be, Cray MGP Holdings, LP to deliver to the respective redeemed limited partner a number of shares (the &quot;Future Closing Shares&quot;) pursuant to a formula described below in three installments on specified dates in September 2023, September 2024 and September 2025. In exchange for assuming these obligations, Cray MGP Holdings, LP redeemed on September 5, 2023 all of each redeemed limited partner's ownership interest in Cray MGP Holdings, LP.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The number of Future Closing Shares delivered or deliverable to this redeemed limited partner on each delivery date is determined by dividing one-third of $18,126,832.39 by the last reported sales price on the fifth trading day immediately prior to the applicable delivery date. The last reported sales price on August 28, 2023 was $118.84.</footnote>
