Business context and reporting period

Key financial and capital structure matters
- The filing provides no revenue, profit, cash flow, margin, debt, liquidity, or other operating financial metrics.
- Stockholders approved an amendment to the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, increasing the authorized shares of Class A common stock by 15,700,000 shares, subject to subsequent adjustment for the reverse split.
- The Company filed an amendment to its certificate of incorporation providing for a one-for-20 reverse split of its issued and outstanding Class A and Class B common stock.
- The reverse split is effective at 5:01 p.m. Eastern Time on August 9, 2022, after Nasdaq trading closes. Class A common stock is expected to begin trading on a post-split basis at market open on August 10, 2022, under new CUSIP 395330202.

Material changes versus the prior comparable period
