Explanation of Responses:

1. On March 13, 2026, the reporting person contributed 1,575,931 shares of Petco common stock from the Revocable Trust into the 2020 Trust. In exchange for the shares, the Revocable Trust withdrew an amount equal to $3.49 per share from the 2020 Trust. The contribution of shares to the 2020 Trust resulted in a decrease in the number of shares the reporting person beneficially owns indirectly through the Revocable Trust and a corresponding increase in the number of shares the reporting person beneficially owns indirectly through the 2020 Trust. The reporting person believes that this contribution of shares to the 2020 Trust constitutes a change in the form of beneficial ownership of the shares, exempted by Rule 16a-13 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

2. On March 9, 2026, 1,341,128 shares of Class A common stock of the Issuer were transferred from the reporting person's direct holdings into the Revocable Trust.
