Explanation of Responses:

1. Represents performance-based incentive units of Medline Holdings, LP ("Incentive Units"), that were earned as a result of the achievement of certain performance criteria as certified by the compensation committee of the Issuer's board of directors on August 19, 2026. These Incentive Units are fully vested.

2. Incentive Units are "profit interests" having economic characteristics similar to stock appreciation rights. Vested Incentive Units are convertible, at the holder's election, into a number of Common Units generally equal to (a) the product of the number of vested Incentive Units to be converted with a given per unit participation threshold and then-current difference between the per unit value of a Common Unit at the time of the conversion (based on the public trading price of a share of Class A Common Stock) and the per unit participation threshold of such vested Incentive Units divided by (b) the per unit value of a Common Unit at the time of the conversion (based on the public trading price of a share of Class A Common Stock), subject to certain adjustments.

3. (Continued from Footnote 2 above) Common Units are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement. These Incentive Units have no expiration date. Such Incentive Units are held indirectly through Medline Management Aggregator LLC.

4. These securities are held by a trust, of which the Reporting Person is a trustee.
