Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )The shares of Class B common stock automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the initial business combination of Golden Arrow Merger Corp. (the "Issuer"), or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Issuer's registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-253465), as amended (the "Registration Statement"). On March 16, 2023, Golden Arrow Sponsor, LLC (the "Sponsor") voluntarily converted 7,047,500 shares of Class B common stock of the Issuer it held into 7,047,500 shares of Class A common stock in accordance with the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Issuer, as amended. ( 2 )The securities are held directly by the Sponsor and indirectly by the Reporting Person. The Sponsor is controlled by the Reporting Person, Timothy Babich, Jacob Doft and Lance Hirt. Accordingly, each of the Reporting Person and Messrs. Babich, Doft and Hirt share voting and dispositive power over these securities held by the Sponsor and may be deemed to beneficially own such shares. Each of the Reporting Person and Messrs. Babich, Doft and Hirt disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein. ( 3 )Represents 2,615,202 shares of common stock of the Issuer converted from the convertible promissory notes issued by Bolt Threads, Inc. ("Bolt Threads"), a Delaware corporation, for cash since October 2023 upon the closing of the business combination (the "Closing") by and among the Issuer, Beam Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), a Delaware corporation, and Bolt Threads, pursuant to a business combination agreement entered into on October 4, 2023 (as amended, the "Business Combination Agreement"). At the Closing, Merger Sub merged with and into Bolt Threads, with Bolt Threads surviving the merger and becoming a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of the Issuer, and the Issuer was renamed to Bolt Projects Holdings, Inc.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
