(1) Pursuant to the governance structure of LGC Holdco, LLC ("LGC Holdco") effective as of September 10, 2025, the decisions with respect to the voting and disposition of the shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Class A Shares"), of the Issuer and shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Class B Shares"), of the Issuer held by LGC Holdco are, subject to certain limited exceptions, decided solely by a single managing director of LGC Holdco's sole manager, who is appointed, and may be replaced, by Lachlan K. Murdoch. As a result, Mr. Murdoch may be deemed to beneficially own the Class A Shares and Class B Shares owned by LGC Holdco; however, Mr. Murdoch disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
