Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Direct Digital Holdings, LLC, dated as of February 15, 2022, Class A Common Units (as defined therein) held by the Reporting Person are exchangeable for shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain exceptions, conditions and adjustments. The Class A Common Units have no expiration date. At the time of any such exchange, an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock of the Issuer held by the Reporting Person, which have no economic value and entitle holders thereof to one vote per share on all matters on which stockholders of the Issuer are entitled to vote generally, are cancelled.
(2) The Reporting Person distributed 100,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to one of its members for no consideration.
(3) Due to an administrative error, the number of derivative securities beneficially owned by the Reporting Person was incorrectly reported as 5,689,000 instead of 11,378,000 on a Form 3 filed on February 17, 2022. This column reflects the corrected balance, as effected by the transactions reported on this Form 4.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.

Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB number.
