Business context and reporting period

Key financial and compensation information
- The Compensation Committee approved a grant of 1,125,000 restricted stock units (RSUs) to Andrew Pascal, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
- The RSUs were granted under the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan.

Material changes versus the prior comparable period

Guidance, outlook, risks, contingencies, and unusual items
- No financial guidance or business outlook is provided.
- The RSUs are subject to continued employment through each vesting date, so forfeiture may occur if the condition is not met.
