Explanation of Responses:

1. The reporting person acquired these shares upon the vesting of certain performance stock units.

2. Each performance-based RSU presents a contingent right to receive one share of Telos common stock. These performance-based RSUs vested and settled in shares of Telos common stock once Telos' common stock traded at or above $6.00 per share for 50 consecutive calendar days on the NASDAQ Global Market.

3. Telos withheld 401,635 shares of its common stock to satisfy the reporting person's tax withholding obligation resulting from the vesting of the performance stock units. The reporting person did not sell any shares of Telos stock to a third party as part of this transaction.

4. On August 12, 2024, it was erroneously reported that 158,644 shares were purchased and directly held by the reporting person. Those shares were actually purchased and held indirectly by JJJJJV, LLC, a limited liability company of which the reporting person is the manager and of which the reporting person and his spouse are the only members. The amounts reported correct amounts owned directly by the reporting person and indirectly by the JJJJJV, LLC, respectively as of the date of this report.
