The Reporting Person holds 737,939 Class
A Shares. The reported securities also include 13,799,109 Class A Shares and 117,231,288 AOG Units held by Ares Owners. Ares Partners
Holdco LLC (“Ares Partners”) is the general partner of Ares Owners. Ares Partners is managed by a board of managers, which
is composed of the Reporting Person, Michael J Arougheti, Ryan Berry, R. Kipp deVeer, David B. Kaplan and Bennett Rosenthal (each, a “Board
Member” and collectively, the “Board Members”). The Reporting Person generally has veto authority over decisions of
the Board Members. Ares Owners holds 12,020,778 Class A Shares and 49,764,375 AOG Units on behalf of the Reporting Person, or on behalf
of a vehicle controlled by him, as a limited partner of Ares Owners. Based solely on information reported in Statements on Schedule 13G
filed by Ares Owners and the other Board Members, the Class A Shares held by Ares Owners, if aggregated with other Class A Shares beneficially
owned by each of the individual Board Members, would equal 135,395,774 Class A Shares in the aggregate, including shares that may be acquired
upon the exchange of AOG Units held by Ares Owners and Class A Shares that may be acquired by the individual Board Members upon the vesting
of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) or exercise of Stock Options held by such Board Member, representing 45.89% of the outstanding
Class A Shares (based on 173,420,074 outstanding shares and assuming the exchange of such AOG Units and the vesting or exercise, as applicable,
of such RSUs and Stock Options).
The percentage reflected on the cover
page to this Schedule 13G is calculated based on (i) an aggregate of 173,420,074 Class A Shares outstanding as of October 31, 2022,
as reported in the Issuer's Form 10-Q filed November 7, 2022, as increased by (ii) 117,231,288 Class A Shares, issuable upon conversion
of 117,231,288 AOG Units held by Ares Owners.
The Reporting Person expressly disclaims
the existence of, or membership in, a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act and Rule 13d-5(b) thereunder
with Ares Owners, Ares Partners, and the other Board Members, as well as beneficial ownership with respect to any Class A Shares beneficially
owned by Ares Owners, Ares Partners, or the other Board Members, and neither the filing of this Statement on Schedule 13G nor any of its
