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) In connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, dated March 22, 2021, by and among JAWS Spitfire Acquisition Corporation ("JAWS Spitfire"), Spitfire Merger Sub, Inc. and Velo3D, Inc. (the transactions contemplated thereby, the "Business Combination"), JAWS Spitfire domesticated as a Delaware corporation (the "Domestication") and changed its name to "Velo3D, Inc." ("Velo3D"). In connection with the Domestication, Spitfire Sponsor LLC's (the "Sponsor") Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of JAWS Spitfire, which were previously convertible into Class A ordinary shares of JAWS Spitfire, were automatically converted into shares of Class A common stock of Velo3D, par value $0.0001 per share, on a one-for-one basis.
(2) The reported securities are held by the Sponsor, which is controlled by the reporting person and the reporting person is therefore deemed to be the beneficial owner of such securities. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein except to the extent of its respective pecuniary interest therein and the filing of this Form 4 shall not be construed as an admission that such reporting person is the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Form 4.
(3) Pursuant to the Private Placement Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 2, 2020, by and between JAWS Spitfire and the Sponsor, the Sponsor purchased warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares, which following the Domestication entitle the Sponsor to purchase shares of Class A common stock of Velo3D (the "Private Placement Warrants") for a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Private Placement Warrants became exercisable, beginning 180 days after the closing of the Business Combination (or at an earlier date if agreed upon by the Velo3D board), for one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The Private Placement Warrants expire on the fifth anniversary of the consummation of the Business Combination.

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.
