Additional 402(v) Disclosure

As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid and certain financial performance of the Company. For further information concerning our variable pay-for-performance philosophy and how we align executive compensation with the Company’s performance, refer to “Compensation Discussion & Analysis” above.

The dollar amounts reported under Summary Compensation Table Total for First PEO and Summary Compensation Table Total for Second PEO are the amounts of total compensation reported for Mr. Riccitiello and for Mr. Whitehurst for each corresponding year in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table. Refer to “Executive Compensation—Summary Compensation Table.”The dollar amounts reported under Average Summary Compensation Table Total for Non-PEO NEOs represent the average of the amounts reported for the Company’s NEOs as a group (excluding the PEOs) in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table in each applicable year.Cumulative total shareholder return is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between the Company’s share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period. For purposes of the Company’s 2020 cumulative total shareholder return, the measurement period begins at the Company’s September 2020 initial public offering.The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income (loss) reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year.The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of revenue reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year. As noted in the "Compensation Discussion & Analysis" above, this measure is one of two evenly weighted corporate performance metrics (along with Adjusted EBITDA Margin) for the Cash Incentive Bonus Plan for 2023.

Relationship Disclosures

Our Human Capital and Compensation Committee reviews a variety of Company-wide and individual factors to link executive compensation actually paid with Company and executive performance. To promote strong pay-for-performance orientation when setting executive pay levels, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee considers the Company's absolute and relative total shareholder return, short- and long-term business outlook, including income and revenue growth, and the broader market environment.

The following graphs set forth the relationships between the Company’s cumulative total shareholder return relative to peer comparators, as well as compensation actually paid relative to the Company’s total shareholder return, net income (loss), and revenue over the last four completed fiscal years. Note that the Human Capital and Compensation Committee assesses target compensation and potentially realizable compensation in addition to compensation actually paid to maintain a holistic understanding of executive total compensation package
