Because of the relationships described in footnotes (3) and (4) below, Bain Capital Investors, LLC ("BCI") may be deemed to control Fund VIII and Fund VIII-E and thus may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to the ordinary shares of Sensata Technologies Holdings N.V. held by Sensata Investment Co.
