The general partner of Wengen is Wengen Investments Limited (the “Wengen GP”), which is governed by a board of directors composed of Messrs. Becker, Taslitz, Hoehn-Saric and other representatives of the Wengen Investors.  Pursuant to the provisions of the Wengen Securityholders Agreement (defined below), Wengen GP will vote the shares of Common Stock owned by Wengen in certain matters, including in the election of certain directors, at the discretion of Wengen GP and as a result, the Wengen Investors, including Sterling and certain of its affiliates, may be deemed to have shared voting power over the 126,189,616 shares of Class B Common Stock held directly by Wengen.  The Wengen Securityholders Agreement further provides each investor of Wengen with the ability to direct Wengen GP with respect to the portion of securities owned by Wengen attributable to such investor’s pro rata ownership interest in Wengen with respect to voting on Extraordinary Transactions (as such term is defined below) and the disposition of such securities, subject to certain limitations.  The above does not include additional shares of Class B Common Stock owned by employees, directors and former employees and directors of the Issuer over which Wengen has been granted a voting proxy (but no rights with respect to conversion of such shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock) pursuant to the Management Stockholder’s Agreements (as defined in Item 6 below) further described in Item 6 below.  Based on information provided by the Issuer, an aggregate of 589,830 shares of Class B Common Stock was subject to such voting proxy as of February 28, 2018.

The aggregate percentage of beneficial ownership in this Statement for purposes of calculations under Rule 13d-3 is based on an aggregate of 221,276,687 shares of Class A Common Stock, which includes (i) 55,275,228 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of April 20, 2018 plus 36,142,759 shares of Class A Common Stock issued by the Issuer on April 23, 2018 upon conversion of the Issuer’s Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, as set forth in the Form S-3 Registration Statement filed by the Issuer with the SEC on April 23, 2018, (ii) 126,189,616 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock owned by Wengen, (iii) 3,529,471 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options issued to Mr. Becker, (iv) 13,889 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock owned by SFM and (v) 125,724 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock issued to Mr. Becker. The aggregate number of shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons as reported herein does not include any shares of Class A Common Stock which may be received by holders of Class B Common Stock subject to proxies given by current and former directors and employees (including Messrs. Becker

25

and Taslitz) to Wengen to vote their shares of Class B Common Stock pursuant to the Management Stockholder’s Agreements.

In general, the Wengen Securityholders Agreement provides, among other things, that, until such time as Wengen and its investors collectively cease to own 40% of the Issuer’s Common Stock, Wengen GP (or, upon any dissolution of Wengen, the investors in Wengen) will have the right to designate a number of directors to the Issuer’s board of directors equal to Wengen’s and its investors’ proportionate share of the economic ownership of the Issuer’s Common Stock (the “Wengen Directors”), and the size of the board of directors of the Issuer may not be increased or decreased without the approval of the majority in interest of the investors in Wengen.  The agreement further provides that Sterling (including the Reporting Persons), KKR, Bregal and CPV will each have the right to designate one such Wengen Director to serve on the Issuer’s board of directors, in each case, until such time as such party ceases to beneficially own a minimum of 5,357,143 shares of Common Stock.  The remaining Wengen Directors will be designated by Wengen GP, as chosen by a vote of the majority in interest of the investors in Wengen.  Initially, the Wengen Directors consist of Mr. Taslitz (as the designee of Sterling), William Cornog (as the designee of KKR), Andrew Cohen (as the designee of CPV) and Quentin Van Doosselaere (as the designee of Bregal), as well as Brian Carroll, Pedro del Corro and Ian Snow, as the remaining designees.  Wengen GP has further agreed to cause all shares of Wengen to be voted in favor of the Wengen Directors identified by each of Sterling, KKR, Bregal and CPV, as well as the Wengen Directors chosen by a majority in interest of the investors in Wengen.

Shares of Class A Common Stock reported in rows 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 and the percentage of shares of Class A Common Stock reported in row 13 on the cover page of this Statement filed by Mr. Becker do not include 12,490 shares of Class B Common Stock held directly by the 2002 GST Exempt Harvest Trust (the “GST Trust”), a trust for the benefit of certain members of Mr. Becker’s family, because (i) Ms. Hellauer serves as the sole trustee with voting and dispositive power over the securities held thereby, (ii) the GST Trust is not an investor in Wengen and (iii) the GST Trust is not a party to the Wengen Securityholders’ Agreement.  However, pursuant to the Wengen Securityholders Agreement, shares of the Issuer held by the GST Trust are included when determining (a) the number of directors Sterling will have the right to designate to serve on the board of directors of Wengen GP and (b) the number of directors Wengen GP (or, upon any dissolution of Wengen, the investors in Wengen) will have the right to designate to serve on the Issuer’s board of directors.

Shares of Class A Common Stock reported in rows 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 and the percentage of shares of Class A Common Stock reported in row 13 on the cover page of this Statement filed by SFM do not include any shares of the Issuer held by Wengen because SFM (i) does not hold any shares of the Issuer through Wengen and (ii) is not a party to the Wengen Securityholders’ Agreement.  However, pursuant to the Wengen Securityholders’ Agreement, shares of the Issuer held by SFM are included when determining (a) the number of directors Sterling will have the right to designate to serve on the board of directors of Wengen GP and (b) the number of directors Wengen GP (or, upon any dissolution of Wengen, the investors in Wengen) will have the right to designate to serve on the Issuer’s board of directors.

Pursuant to an agreement (the “Founders’ Agreement”) among Messrs. Becker, Taslitz and Hoehn-Saric and one other founder of Sterling (the “Sterling Founders”), the Sterling Founders share equally, on a net after-tax basis, in certain equity securities they receive in connection with services rendered by any of them to certain entities, including the Issuer, except that such other Sterling Founder only shares in equity securities related to periods prior to January 1, 2017.  Each Sterling Founder controls the voting and disposition of the securities allocable to such Sterling Founder.

Shares of Class A Common Stock reported in rows 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 and the percentage of shares of Class A Common Stock reported in row 13 on the cover pages of this Statement filed by Messrs. Becker, Taslitz and Hoehn-Saric, respectively, do not include shares of Class B Common Stock held by certain investment vehicles (the “Co-Investor Vehicles”) that hold limited partnership interests in Wengen on behalf of persons that are not affiliated with SFM or any of its affiliates (the “Co-Investors”).  Under the Wengen Securityholders Agreement (as previously described in this Item 5), each Co-Investor Vehicle has the ability to direct Wengen GP with respect to the portion of securities owned by Wengen attributable to such Co-Investor Vehicle’s pro rata ownership interest in Wengen with respect to the matters described in Item 6 (the “Issuer Pass-Through Matters”).  In turn, the organizational documents of each Co-Investor Vehicle provides that each Co-Investor has the ability to direct the relevant Co-

26

Investor Vehicle with respect to such Co-Investor’s allocable share of the Co-Investor Vehicle’s portion of the securities of the Issuer held by Wengen with respect to the Issuer Pass-Through Matters. By virtue of the organizational documents of the Co-Investor Vehicles and general partners of the Co-Investor Vehicles (the “Co-Investor GPs”), SP-L Parent, as the general partner of the Co-Investor GPs of each of the Co-Investor Vehicles (and, ultimately, each of Messrs. Becker, Taslitz and Hoehn-Saric, as the managers of SP-L Parent), is entitled to a profits interest with respect to the Co-Investor Indirect Issuer Shares.  Messrs. Becker and Taslitz do not represent the Co-Investor Vehicles on the board of directors of the Issuer, and Messrs. Becker, Taslitz and Hoehn-Saric do not represent the Co-Investor Vehicles on the board of directors of Wengen GP.

SP-L Parent is also the general partner of each of SP-L Management III, SP-L Management IV and SP-L Management V, which, in turn, are the general partners of Sterling Laureate, Sterling Executives Fund and Sterling Rollover, respectively.  SP-L Parent may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own shares of Class B Common Stock attributable to the pro rata ownership interests of Sterling Laureate, Sterling Executives Fund and Sterling Rollover (collectively, the “SP-L Management Indirect Issuer Shares”) in Wengen. By virtue of the organizational documents of each of Sterling Laureate, Sterling Executives Fund and Sterling Rollover and their respective general partners, SP-L Parent (and, ultimately, each of Messrs. Becker, Taslitz and Hoehn-Saric, as the managers of SP-L Parent) is entitled to a profits interest with respect to the SP-L Management Indirect Issuer Shares.  SP-L Parent (and, ultimately, each of Messrs. Taslitz and Hoehn-Saric, as managers of SP-L Parent) has voting and dispositive control over the SP-L Management Indirect Issuer Shares.  Mr. Becker is also a manager of SP-L Parent, but Mr. Becker has irrevocably relinquished his rights as such a manager with respect to the SP-L Management Indirect Issuer Shares. See Item 6.

Each of SC Partners II (as the general partner of SCP II L.P), SCP II, LLC (as the general partner of SC Partners II), SC Partners III (as the general partner of SCP III LP), SCP III, LLC (as the general partner of SC Partners III) and Messrs. Becker, Taslitz and Hoehn-Saric (as managers of SCP II LLC and SCP III LLC) may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities held by each of SCP II LP and SCP III LP in Wengen, as described more fully in this Statement.  Mr. Becker is also a manager of SCP II LLC and SCP III LLC, but Mr. Becker has irrevocably relinquished his rights as such a manager with respect to the shares of Common Stock held by SCP II LP. See Item 6.

The filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that any of the above-listed entities or individuals is the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Statement.

Wengen, the other Wengen Investors and certain of their affiliates will separately make Schedule 13D filings reporting their beneficial ownership of shares of Class A Common Stock.

None of the other persons named in Item 2 beneficially owns any shares of Class A Common Stock.
