Name of Person Filing
Gragson Data SS, LLC (the “LLC”) directly holds
8,831,538 Common Units (“Common Units”) of Switch, Ltd and associated 8,831,538 shares of Class B common stock of the
Issuer. The Common Units are redeemable on a one-for-one basis for shares of Class A common stock (“Shares”), or, at
the election of the Issuer, cash equal to a volume weighted average market price of a share of Class A common stock. The Common
Units have no expiration date. One share of the Issuer's Class B common stock was issued for each Common Unit. The shares of Class
B common stock (i) confer only voting rights (one vote per share) and do not confer any incidents of economic ownership to the
holders thereof; and (ii) are forfeited and cancelled, on a one-for-one basis, without consideration, upon the redemption of Common
Units for shares of Class A common stock, or cash, at the Issuer's election.
Mr. Gragson, as manager of the LLC, has voting and dispositive
power of the Shares subject to a voting agreement in favor of the pledge of the Shares and may be deemed to beneficially own the
Shares held by the LLC. However, neither the filing of this Schedule 13G nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute
an admission that Mr. Gragson is the beneficial owner of the Shares for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose and Mr. Gragson expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares. The filing
of this statement should not be construed to be an admission that any Reporting Person is a member of a “group” for
the purposes of Sections 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act.
All the Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of the
Shares except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.
