Buy Plan / Sale Plan: These are also open market purchases/sales of shares, but in this case the transaction is part of a trading plan. Rule 10b5-1 allows insiders to setup a trading plan to buy/sell stocks over a certain period of time. Since the purchases/sales are predetermined, this protects the insiders from violating insider trading law.

Transaction was made pursuant to a contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of equity securities of the issuer that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c).

Explanation of Responses:

Id Content
F1 The shares were sold pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the Reporting Person on December 15, 2023. The 10b5-1 plan included a representation from the Reporting Person to the broker administering the plan that the Reporting Person was not in possession of any material nonpublic information regarding the Issuer or the securities subject to the plan. That representation was made as of the date of the adoption of the 10b5-1 plan, and speaks only as of that date. In making that representation, there is no assurance with respect to any material nonpublic information of which the Reporting Person was unaware, or with respect to any material nonpublic information acquired by the Reporting Person after the date of the representation.
F2 Each restricted stock unit ("RSU") represents a contingent right to receive 1 share of the Issuer's Class A-1 Common Stock upon settlement for no consideration.
F3 1/4 of the RSUs will vest on March 14, 2023, and the remainder will vest as to 1/16 of the total award in quarterly installments thereafter, subject to the Reporting Person's continuing service to the Issuer on each vesting date.
