Explanation of Responses:

Remarks:

Global Partner Sponsor II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Sponsor") is the record holder of 3,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. Chandra R. Patel, Richard C. Davis and Jarett Goldman are the managers of the Sponsor and each has one vote. The approval of a majority is required to approve an action of the Sponsor. Under the so-called "rule of three", no individual manager of the Sponsor exercises voting or dispositive control over any of the securities held by the Sponsor. Accordingly, none of the three managers will be deemed to have or share beneficial ownership of such securities. Each such person disclaims any such beneficial ownership of the reported securities, except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein, because voting and dispositive decisions requires the approval of a majority of the managers, and this report shall not be deemed an admission by any of the foregoing of beneficial ownership of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.

No securities are beneficially owned.
