The approved amendments also provide for Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association reflecting the revised capital structure and the rights and privileges of the two share classes.

Investor Verification Items

- Assess the effect of ten-votes-per-share Class B holdings on shareholder voting control and corporate governance.
- Confirm the post-restructuring issued and outstanding share counts, as the filing primarily describes authorized capital and re-designation mechanics.
- Seek separate filings for financial results, liquidity, debt, operating performance, and management outlook, none of which are provided here.
