* 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) The Reporting Person is a managing director of Goldman, Sachs & Co. ("Goldman Sachs"). Goldman Sachs is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. ("GS Group"). The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, if any, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of, or has any pecuniary interest in, such securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose.
(2) The 78,532,208 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of MRC Global Inc. (the "Company") reported herein are beneficially owned directly by PVF Holdings LLC ("PVF"). Goldman Sachs and GS Group may be deemed to beneficially own indirectly, in the aggregate, the Common Stock owned by PVF through certain investment partnerships (the "Funds") that are members of and own common units of PVF because (i) affiliates of Goldman Sachs and GS Group are the general partner, managing general partner, managing partner, managing member or member of the Funds and (ii) the Funds control PVF and have the power to vote or dispose of the Common Stock owned by PVF.
(3) GS Group may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 35,958 options, consisting of 11,986 options granted to each of Christopher A.S. Crampton, Henry Cornell and John F. Daly in their capacity as directors of the Company pursuant to the MRC Global Inc. 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan. Messrs. Cornell and Daly, each a managing director of Goldman Sachs, and Mr. Crampton, a vice president of Goldman Sachs, each has an understanding with GS Group pursuant to which he holds such securities for the benefit of GS Group.
