Insights

Compensation Analyst

RSU vesting materially increased insider shareholdings and triggered tax withholding.

The filing confirms the time‑vesting and settlement of a total of 582,333 Class A shares from RSUs that vested on June 15, 2025 and were settled on October 1, 2025. This is a compensation realization event rather than an open‑market purchase or sale, and the report explicitly states the reporting person did not voluntarily sell shares.

The registrant withheld 228,393 shares to cover tax obligations, as stated in the filing, which reduced the net increase in outstanding shares delivered to the reporting person.

Corporate Governance Expert

The reporter is a dual role insider: Chief Legal Officer and Director.

The Form 4 lists Brian Logan Beirne as both a director and an officer (Chief Legal Officer), indicating these equity events are part of executive compensation governance. The filing includes conversion mechanics between Class B and Class A shares described in the registrant's charter language, quoted in the footnotes.

The document states conversions occur automatically on certain transfers or by holder election and explains the tax‑withholding share treatment; there are no voluntary sales reported by the insider.
