        <footnote id="F1">Represents the Reporting Person's annual grant of a Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) award under the Issuer's Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy. Each of these RSUs represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock upon settlement. The number of RSUs granted was calculated by dividing the applicable value of the equity by the average closing price of our common stock over the 30 consecutive trading days immediately preceding July 1, 2026, rounded down to the nearest whole share. The shares shall vest in full on July 1, 2027; provided, however, that in the event a director is up for re-election at the Issuer's next annual meeting of stockholders and is not elected to continue serving as a member of the board of directors at such annual meeting of stockholders, the shares shall be deemed fully vested on that annual meeting date.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The sales reported on this Form 4 were effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, adopted September 18, 2025.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">The reported price in Column 4 is a weighted average price. These shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $10.36 to $10.61 per share, inclusive. The Reporting Person undertakes to provide to the Issuer, any security holder of the Issuer, or the staff of the Securities Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separated price within the range set forth in this footnote.</footnote>
