Explanation of Responses:
(1)	This filing reflects the consummation of a planned syndication of a small portion of the $1 billion in aggregate of 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the "Convertible Notes") of Splunk Inc. (the "Issuer") purchased by SLP Spark Holdings, L.P. ("SLP Spark") and SLA Spark Holdings, L.P. ("SLA Spark") on July 9, 2021, which syndication was completed on July 15, 2021 through the transfer of $50 million of Convertible Notes to an unaffiliated third party, with consent to transfer by the Issuer, for aggregate consideration of $50,017,500.
(2)	Represents securities held by SLP Spark. SLP Spark GP, L.L.C. ("SLP Spark GP") is the general partner of SLP Spark. SLP Spark Aggregator, L.P. ("SLP Aggregator") is the managing member of SLP Spark GP. SLP VI Aggregator GP, L.L.C. ("SLP VI GP") is the general partner of SLP Aggregator. Silver Lake Technology Associates VI, L.P. ("SLTA VI") is the managing member of SLP VI GP. SLTA VI (GP), L.L.C. ("SLTA VI GP") is the general partner of SLTA VI.
(3)	Represents securities held by SLA Spark. SLA Spark GP, L.L.C. ("SLA Spark GP") is the general partner of SLA Spark. SLA Spark Aggregator, L.P. ("SLA Aggregator") is the managing member of SLA Spark GP. SL Alpine Aggregator GP, L.L.C. ("SLA GP") is the general partner of SLA Aggregator. Silver Lake Alpine Associates, L.P.

(4)	Silver Lake Group, L.L.C. ("SLG") is the managing member of each of SLTA VI and SLAA. Mr. Kenneth Hao serves as a member of the board of directors of the Issuer and as Chairman and Managing Member of SLG. Each of SLP Spark, SLP Spark GP, SLP Aggregator, SLP VI GP, SLTA VI, SLTA VI GP, SLA Spark, SLA Spark GP, SLA Aggregator, SLA GP, SLAA, SLAA GP and SLG may be deemed to be a director by deputization of the Issuer.
(5)	The initial Conversion Rate (as defined below) is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $160.00 per share of Common Stock.
(6)	In accordance with the Investment Agreement dated June 22, 2021, SLP Spark and SLA Spark are restricted from exercising the Convertible Notes prior to the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the date of issuance and (ii) immediately prior to the consummation of a change of control of the Issuer, in each case, subject to certain exceptions.
(7)	The Convertible Notes mature on July 15, 2026, subject to earlier redemption, repurchase or conversion in accordance with their terms.
(8)	Upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, the Issuer will deliver, at its election (or at the holder's election if in connection with a redemption), cash, Common Stock or combination thereof. Upon a redemption of the Convertible Notes at the Issuer's option, the redemption price will be paid in cash, unless holders elect to convert instead. This number represents the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes transferred if the Issuer elects to settle its conversion obligation solely through shares of Common Stock by delivering a number of shares of Common Stock at the initial conversion rate of 6.2500 shares of Common Stock (the "Conversion Rate"), and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock, per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes. The initial Conversion Rate is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain customary events in accordance with the terms of an indenture governing the Convertible Notes.

Remarks:
Because no more than 10 reporting persons can file any one Form 4 through the Securities and Exchange Commission's EDGAR system, certain affiliates of the Reporting Persons are filing a separate Form 4. The Reporting Persons are jointly filing this Form 4 pursuant to Rule 16a-3(j) under the Exchange Act. This filing shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are beneficial owners of all securities covered by this filing for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or otherwise, or are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities, except to the extent of such Reporting Person's pecuniary interest therein, if any.
