- Voting Power: As of July 31, 2021, Mr. Plank held approximately 64.7% of the combined voting power. The sale of non-voting Class C shares will not alter his voting control.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing contains no financial guidance, outlook, or management commentary regarding company operations.
