lead investor of Anonymous Content and Concordia Studio, leaning into the power of storytelling, and she is also majority investor and

Chair of the Board of The Atlantic, a publication dedicated to high-quality long form journalism. Ms. Powell Jobs co-founded

and serves on the boards of the Waverley Street Foundation, College Track and the XQ Institute, advancing community-led climate solutions

and strengthening educational outcomes. Ms. Powell Jobs also serves on the boards of Chicago CRED and the Ford Foundation. She is a member

of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a recipient of the Stanford Graduate School of Business’s Ernest C. Arbuckle Award

for excellence in the field of management leadership. The Company believes that Ms. Powell Jobs is qualified to serve as a member of the

Board because of her extensive experience and focus investing in innovative and entrepreneurial enterprises and on high-quality journalism.

Each of Mr. Kotick and Ms.

Powell Jobs are eligible to participate in the Company’s previously disclosed Non-Employee Director Compensation Program (the “Director

Program”), including receipt of a Pro-Rated Annual Award (as defined in the Director Program) of upon their appointments to the
