The information contained in rows 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 on each of the cover pages of this Schedule 13G is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4.

SAG is the record holder of 39,738,064 shares of Class A Common Stock and Siemens e.V. is the record holder of 18,848,631 shares of Class A Common Stock. SAG is an affiliate of Siemens e.V. and may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the shares Class A Common Stock held of record by Siemens e.V. Such beneficial ownership represents 50.6% of the total Class A Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding, based on 115,865,811 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding as of December 11, 2022, as reflected in the Issuers Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 14, 2022.

The Reporting Persons, AES Grid Stability, LLC and Qatar Holding LLC (collectively, the Stockholders) are parties to a Stockholder Agreement (the Stockholder Agreement), which contains, among other things, certain provisions relating to transfer of, and coordination of the voting of, securities of the Issuer by the parties thereto.

By virtue of the Stockholder Agreement and the obligations and rights thereunder, the Reporting Persons acknowledge and agree that they are acting as a group with the other Stockholders within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based in part on information provided by or on behalf of such other Stockholders, as of December 31, 2022, such a group would be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 135,666,665 shares of Class A Common Stock, or 77.8% of the Class A Common Stock of the Issuer, calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership over any shares of Class A Common Stock that they may be deemed to beneficially own solely by reason of the Stockholder Agreement. Certain entities affiliated with the other Stockholders are separately making Schedule 13G filings reporting their beneficial ownership of shares of Class A Common Stock.
