In addition, wholly-owned subsidiaries of each of Blackstone Buzz Holdings L.P., Blackstone Tactical Opportunities Fund - FD L.P. and Blackstone Family Investment Partnership Growth - ESC L.P. (such subsidiaries, collectively, the "Facility 2 Borrowers" and, collectively with the Facility 1 Borrowers, the "Borrowers") have entered into (i) a Margin Loan Agreement dated as of the Closing Date (the "Facility 2 Loan Agreement" and, collectively with the Facility 1 Loan Agreement, the "Loan Agreements") with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and lender, and the Lenders, and (ii) Pledge and Security Agreements dated as of the Closing Date, pursuant to which the Facility 2 Borrowers pledged on the Closing Date all of the Class A Common Stock and Common Units of Buzz Holdings L.P. (the "Common Units") owned by them as collateral to secure repayment of amounts outstanding under the Facility 2 Loan Agreement, and may be required to post additional collateral in certain circumstances (the "Facility 2 Pledge Agreements" and, collectively with the Facility 1 Pledge Agreements, the "Pledge Agreements"; and the Pledge Agreements, collectively with the Loan Agreements, the "Loan Documents"). Each of the Borrowers is affiliated with The Blackstone Group Inc.

As of the Closing Date, the Borrowers have borrowed an aggregate of $860.0 million under the Loan Agreements. Pursuant to the Pledge Agreements, to secure borrowings under the Loan Agreements, the Borrowers have collectively pledged 54,709,182 shares of Class A Common Stock (collectively, the "Pledged Shares") and 43,528,252 Common Units (collectively, the "Pledged Units"). As of the Closing Date, the Pledged Shares and Pledged Units collectively represented approximately 52.3% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock, assuming the exchange of all outstanding Common Units (other than those held directly or indirectly by the Company) for shares of Class A Common Stock on a one for one basis.

The Loan Agreements contain customary default provisions. In the event of a default under the Loan Agreements by the Borrowers, the Secured Parties may foreclose upon any and all Pledged Shares and Pledged Units."

The Company did not independently verify or participate in the preparation of the foregoing disclosure. In addition, the Company is not a party to the Loan Documents and has no obligations thereunder, but has delivered letter agreements to each of the Lenders in which it has, among other things, agreed, subject to applicable law and stock exchange rules, not to take any actions that are intended to materially hinder or delay the exercise of any remedies by the Lenders under the Pledge Agreements.
