outstanding immediately prior to the GameStop merger by (y) the exchange

Class A common stock (estimated number of shares of GameStop Class A common
stock to be cancelled in the GameStop merger), plus (ii) the product
obtained by multiplying (a) $63.61 (the average of the high and low prices

paid by the registrant to EB's stockholders in the EB merger). Additional

to include a good faith estimate of shares of GameStop Class A common stock
