Equity compensation analyst

Routine RSU grant increases COO’s equity stake with multi-year vesting.

The company granted Chief Operations Officer Sharon Dziesietnik 105,960 restricted stock units of Class A common stock at a price of $0 per share, under the 2021 Incentive Award Plan. This is compensation, not an open-market purchase.

The grant vests 25% on February 15, 2026, with the remaining 75% vesting in equal 1/16 increments each quarter, conditioned on continued service. This structure is designed to support longer-term retention by tying compensation to ongoing employment.
