Explanation of Responses:
1. In the reorganization transactions related to Issuer's IPO, shares of Issuer's Class C Common Stock, par value $0.001 ("Class C Common Stock"), were issued to certain holders of LD Holdings Group LLC ("LD Holdings") Class A Common Units ("Common Units") equal to the number of Common Units held by such holders. Pursuant to the Issuer's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, dated February 11, 2021, each outstanding share of Class C Common Stock, automatically and without further action on the part of the Issuer or the Reporting Person, converted into one fully paid and non-assessable share of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.001 ("Class B Common Stock"), on February 11, 2026. Shares of Class B Common Stock may be converted, together with the corresponding Common Units, for shares of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock, par value $0.001 ("Class A Common Stock") as described in footnote 6.
2. The transaction date is the date the Reporting Person elected to make the exchange described in footnotes 1 and 3, which exchange will occur effective as of October 1, 2026.
3. The Reporting Person elected to cause Trilogy Management Investors Seven, LLC ("Trilogy Seven") to exchange the Common Units beneficially owned by the Reporting Person for an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock. The shares of Class B Common Stock corresponding to the Common Units that were exchanged were cancelled for no consideration.
4. The Reporting Person has an indirect interest in a portion of the securities of the Class B Common Stock and the Common Units held by Trilogy Seven. Following the conversion, the Reporting Person will no longer have any interest in these securities and disclaims all beneficial ownership of all remaining securities held by Trilogy Seven.
5. The Reporting Person is the Managing Member of CDG Financial LLC. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the LDI shares held by CDG Financial LLC except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
6. Pursuant to the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of LD Holdings, holders of Common Units may, subject to certain exceptions, from time to time require LD Holdings to redeem all or a portion of their Common Units (together with an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock) in exchange for, at the Issuer's election (determined solely by a majority of the Issuer's directors who are disinterested), newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis or a cash payment equal to an average market price of one share of Class A Common Stock for each Common Unit so redeemed.
