("VGE III"), Viking Long Fund Master Ltd. ("VLFM") and Viking Global Opportunities Illiquid Investments Sub-Master LP ("Opportunities Fund", and together with VGE, VGE II, VGE III and VLFM, the "Funds" and the Funds together with VGI, VGP, VLFGP, Opportunities GP and Opportunities Portfolio GP, the "Viking Entities").
