Holdings LLC (the "Sponsor") came to a non-binding agreement with the Issuer to amend the optional conversion provision of certain unsecured promissory notes issued by the Issuer to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Issuer may borrow up to $2,550,000 from the Sponsor, to provide that the Sponsor has the right to elect to convert up to the full amount of the principal balance of these promissory notes, in whole or in part, 30 trading days after the closing of the Issuer's business combination (the "Closing") at a conversion price equal to the average daily volume weighted average price of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock for the 30 trading days following the Closing. |
| 3. These securities are directly owned by the Sponsor. Each of Mr. Jack Leeney, Mr. Thomas D. Hennessy and Mr. Milton Joseph Beck is a managing member of one of the managing members of the Sponsor.
