Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes
The primary material change reported is the release of 15,000,000 earnout shares and units from escrow. This release occurred because the Company's Class A common stock achieved a volume-weighted average closing sale price greater than $16.67 for at least 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days ending December 2, 2025. No new securities were issued; existing escrowed shares were delivered to shareholders.

- Transfer Restrictions: The released shares and units are subject to transfer restrictions for 365 days following their release from escrow.
- Remaining Earnout Potential: A total of 1,000,000 Class A earnout shares, 39,000,000 Class B earnout shares, and 39,000,000 earnout units remain outstanding. These are subject to future milestones based on the stock price over a five-year period ending October 6, 2029.
- Forfeiture Risk: Outstanding earnout shares and units may be forfeited and canceled if future milestones are not met.
