Buy Plan / Sale Plan: These are also open market purchases/sales of shares, but in this case the transaction is part of a trading plan. Rule 10b5-1 allows insiders to setup a trading plan to buy/sell stocks over a certain period of time. Since the purchases/sales are predetermined, this protects the insiders from violating insider trading law.

Transaction was made pursuant to a contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of equity securities of the issuer that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c).

Explanation of Responses:

Id Content
F1 Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the reporting person into one share of Class A Common Stock. Each share of Class B Common Stock will convert automatically into shares of Class A common stock, on a one-to-one basis, upon the following: (1) the sale or transfer of such share of Class B Common Stock, subject to certain exceptions specified in the Issuer's amended and restated certificate of incorporation; (2) the death of the reporting person; and (3) the final conversion date, defined as the earlier of (a) the last trading day of the fiscal quarter immediately following the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Issuer's tenth amended and restated certificate of incorporation; (b) the last trading day of the fiscal quarter during which the then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock first represent less than 5% of the aggregate number of then-outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.
F2 Shares sold pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan enter into on May 24, 2024
F3 The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. These shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $18.95 to $19.40 inclusive. The Reporting Person undertakes to provide to the Issuer, any security holder of the Issuer, or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares at each separate price within the range set forth in this footnote.
F4 Includes shares previously reported as restricted stock units.
F5 One-fourth (1/4th) of the shares subject to the option award vested on January 22, 2020, and thereafter one-forty-eighth of the shares subject to the option award vested monthly, subject to the Reporting Person's continuous service.
F6 The derivative securities beneficially owned as reported in the prior Form 4 was 46,823, but it should have been 46,824 because the derivative securities beneficially owned by the Reporting Person in their original Form 3 was one share less than it should have been at that time, and this form corrects such error that was inadvertently made.
