F1 These shares of Class A common stock reflect the settlement, on March 5, 2025, of restricted stock units ("RSUs") granted to the Reporting Person pursuant to the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, each of which was converted into a share of the Issuer's Class A common stock on a 1-for-1 basis.
F2 Shares withheld to pay taxes applicable to the settlement of the RSUs previously awarded to the Reporting Person to which footnote (1) refers.
F3 Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's Class A common stock, subject to the Reporting Person's continued status as a service provider to the Issuer.
F4 1,666 RSUs vested on November 19, 2024 and settled on March 5, 2025. The remaining 10,002 vests as to 1/12 of the total award of 20,000 RSUs quarterly in equal installments on the 19th of May, August, November, and February thereafter.
