        <transactionDesc>On April 16, 2025 and April 17, 2025, the Reporting Person transferred 1,500,000 and 1,380,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, for no consideration to an irrevocable trust for the benefit of the Reporting Person's child. After giving effect to such transfers, the Reporting Person ceased to have voting or dispositive power such the shares of Common Stock held by the trust and, accordingly, specifically disclaims beneficial ownership thereof.

On June 16, 2025, the Reporting Person sold 9,350 shares of Common Stock, to cover tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting and settlement of Restricted Stock Units pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on November 29, 2024. The sales were to satisfy tax withholding obligations to be funded by a "sell to cover" transaction and do not represent discretionary transactions by the Reporting Person.


On June 18, 2025, the Reporting Person transferred 103,817 shares of Common Stock held by Vikasa Clean Energy I L.P., beneficially owned by the reporting person, for no additional consideration, to certain limited partners. After giving effect to such transfers, the Reporting Person ceased to have voting or dispositive power such the shares of Common Stock held by the trust  and limited partners and, accordingly, specifically disclaims beneficial ownership thereof. Except as described above, the Reporting Person has not effected any transactions in Class A Common Stock in the past 60 days.</transactionDesc>
