*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	LLC units ("LLC Units") represent the membership units of Black Rock Coffee Holdings, LLC ("Black Rock OpCo") and an equal number of shares of Class C common stock ("Class C Common Stock") of the Issuer. Holders may elect to have Black Rock OpCo redeem their LLC Units at any time for either shares of Class A common stock ("Class A Common Stock") on a one-for-one basis or, at the Issuer's election (determined solely by the Issuer's independent directors who are disinterested), a corresponding amount of cash, in either case, contributed to Black Rock OpCo by the Issuer, unless the Issuer elects, in its sole discretion (determined solely by the Issuer's independent directors who are disinterested), to effect such transaction as a direct exchange with the relevant holder. Upon any such redemption or exchange of LLC Units, the corresponding shares of Class C Common Stock will be cancelled.
(2)	The Class C Common Stock is convertible at any time, at the holder's election, into Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis; provided that, at the Issuer's election (determined solely by the Issuer's independent directors who are disinterested), the Issuer may effect such exchange for a cash payment equal to a volume weighted average market price of one share of Class A Common Stock for each LLC Unit so redeemed.
(3)	Each outstanding share of Class C Common Stock will automatically convert into one share of the Issuer's Class B common stock upon the earlier of (i) September 15, 2035 and (ii) with respect to the Reporting Person, the date on which the aggregate number of shares of Class C Common Stock held by the Reporting Person or certain of his affiliates is less than thirty-three percent (33%) of the shares of Class C Common Stock held by the Reporting Person and certain of his affiliates as of September 15, 2025.
(4)	On March 20, 2026, (a) Viking Cake Fuel, LLC ("Viking Cake Fuel") transferred a total of 5,809,390 shares of Class C Common Stock and an equal number of LLC Units to Viking Cake BR, LLC ("Viking Cake") and (b) Viking Cake distributed a total of 5,809,390 shares of Class C Common Stock and an equal number of LLC Units in exchange for all of the units of membership interest in Viking Cake of certain of its members.
