- Cumulative PSU vesting ranges from zero to 80,000 after the first performance period, zero to 160,000 after the second, and zero to 240,000 after the final performance period.

Financial Metrics, Liquidity, and Debt
The filing does not provide revenue, profit, cash flow, margin, debt, liquidity, or other operating or financial performance metrics.
Change-of-Control Provisions and Other Unusual Items
- Upon a qualifying change in control where the common stock ceases to be listed on Nasdaq or another U.S. national securities exchange, the number of PSUs eligible to vest will be determined using the transaction price and applicable performance-period methodology.
- Settlement of PSUs accelerated in connection with a qualifying change in control generally occurs at the earliest of specified dates, including one year after the transaction, the end of the next applicable performance period, or a qualifying termination.
- Additional forfeiture or repayment provisions may apply if employment ends under circumstances other than a qualifying termination before the first anniversary of the change in control.
- Stock Price CAGR is calculated using the Company’s Class A Common Stock price at grant, measured by a trailing 30-day volume-weighted average share price, and the applicable ending stock price.
