Additional SEC filing notes
Filing notes and footnotes
Rule 10b5-1 trading plan
These transactions were reported as open-market trades under a Rule 10b5-1 plan. The plan lets an insider set trading instructions in advance, which can reduce the risk of trading while in possession of material nonpublic information.
Original filing language: transaction made pursuant to a contract, instruction, or written plan intended to satisfy Rule 10b5-1(c).
Explanation of responses 6 footnotes
Footnote F1
The shares were sold pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the Reporting Person on December 11, 2025. The 10b5-1 plan included a representation from the Reporting Person to the broker administering the plan that the Reporting Person was not in possession of any material nonpublic information regarding the Issuer or the securities subject to the plan. That representation was made as of the date of the adoption of the 10b5-1 plan, and speaks only as of that date. In making that representation, there is no assurance with respect to any material nonpublic information of which the Reporting Person was unaware, or with respect to any material nonpublic information acquired by the Reporting Person after the date of the representation.
Footnote F2
The reported securities represent restricted stock units (RSUs) issued upon certification by the Compensation Committee of performance results for the Company's three-year performance stock unit (PSU) award covering the performance period ended December 31, 2025.
Footnote F3
100% of the RSUs will vest on March 14, 2026, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service to the Issuer on the vesting date.
Footnote F4
Each restricted stock unit ("RSU") represents a contingent right to receive 1 share of the Issuer's Class A-1 Common Stock upon settlement for no consideration.
Footnote F5
1/4 of the RSUs will vest on March 14, 2023, and the remainder will vest as to 1/16 of the total award in quarterly installments thereafter, subject to the Reporting Person's continuing service to the Issuer on each vesting date.
Footnote F6
1/3 of the shares underlying the RSUs will vest on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, in each case subject to the Reporting Person's continued service to the Issuer on each vesting date.
