Explanation of Responses:

Remarks:

Upon the closing of the initial public offering of X-Energy, Inc. (the "Issuer") on April 27, 2026, the reporting persons' ownership of the Issuer's Class A common stock was diluted below 10% and the reporting persons are therefore no longer subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This exit report is made on a voluntary basis as the reporting persons have not acquired or disposed of any additional securities of the Issuer.
