(collectively, Providence VIII Funds). PMM and the Providence VIII Funds will hold an indirect 51.8% equity interest in P8 Holding.

All seven of the entities which own PEP European Investment S.à r.l. are 100% owned and controlled by PEP European Investment VIII SCSP (PEP VIII SCSP), a Luxembourg entity.

Providence Equity GP VIII L.P. (PEP GP VIII) is the general partner of each of the Providence VIII Funds. PEP VIII International Ltd. is the general partner of PEP GP VIII, both Cayman Island entities. Providence Fund Holdco (Domestic ECI) L.P. (PF Holdco) is the 100% shareholder of PEP VIII International Ltd. PMM, a U.S. entity, is the sole general partner of PF Holdco. PMM has six members who each control 16.67% of the voting interests - Jonathan Nelson, Andrew Tisdale, Davis Noell, David Phillips, Michael Dominguez, all U.S. citizens, and Karim Tabet, a citizen of France.
