(1) These shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of Aeroflex Holding Corp. ("Aeroflex Holding") are held by VGG Holding LLC ("VGG") and are owned indirectly by the Reporting Person by virtue of the Reporting Person's Class A and Class B membership interests in VGG.
(2) Concurrently with the consummation of the initial public offering of Aeroflex Holding, VGG will issue Class B-1 membership interests representing an aggregate of 0.3% of the membership interests of VGG to certain members of Aeroflex Holding's management who do not currently own any Class A or Class B membership interests in VGG. Pursuant to the terms of the limited liability company agreement of VGG, the issuance of such Class B-1 membership interests will reduce the percentage of the membership interests of VGG held by the holders of Class A membership interests of VGG on a pro rata basis. Following such reduction and the consummation of Aeroflex Holding's initial public offering, the Reporting Person will indirectly beneficially own 1,714,551 shares of Common Stock of Aeroflex Holding that are held by VGG.
