Up to 1,580,053 shares of Class A Common Stock are authorized for issuance pursuant to the ESPP, which number is subject to adjustment for certain corporate and recapitalization events as described in the ESPP. A further description of the ESPP is set forth in Proposal 4 of the Company's definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 29, 2026 (the "Proxy Statement").
The foregoing description of the ESPP is not complete, is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the ESPP, which was filed as Exhibit 4.3 to the Company's registration statement on Form S-8 filed on March 6, 2026 and is incorporated herein by reference.
