(the "Issuer"). Vertiv JV Holdings, LLC ("JV") owns a majority of the outstanding equity interests of VPE, and PE Vertiv Holdings, LLC ("PE Vertiv") owns a majority of the outstanding interests of JV, and, accordingly, each may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares owned directly by VPE. PE Vertiv is directly owned by six private equity investment funds, none of which private equity investment funds individually has the power to direct the voting or disposition of shares beneficially owned.

Platinum Equity, LLC ("Platinum") is sole member of Holdings Manager and indirectly controls Platinum Equity Capital Partners IV, L.P.

Mr. Tom Gores (together with VPE, JV, PE Vertiv, Holdings III and Holdings Manager, the "Reporting Persons") is the beneficial owner of Platinum and the manager of the general partner of the general partner of Capital IV. Accordingly, as a result of their indirect ownership and control of each of VPE, JV and PE Vertiv, each of Holdings III, Holdings Manager, Platinum and Mr. Tom Gores may be deemed to beneficially own the shares owned directly by VPE. Because of the relationship among the Reporting Persons, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own the securities reported herein to the extent of their respective pecuniary interests. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein, except to the extent of such Reporting Person's pecuniary interest therein, if any. Pursuant to Rule 16a-1(a)(4) under the Exchange Act, this filing shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or otherwise, the beneficial owners of any equity securities in excess of their respective pecuniary interests.
