TL;DR: Insider executed planned sales while retaining substantial indirect and direct holdings; transactions were processed via a Rule 10b5-1 plan.
The Form 4 shows Jason Wilk used a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted May 30, 2025, to sell 15,359 shares on 09/12/2025 and 2,948 shares on 09/15/2025 at weighted average prices of $230.01.

For investors, the filing documents compliance with trading-plan disclosure but does not provide proceeds or motivation; materiality appears limited to insider liquidity events rather than governance changes.
TL;DR: Reporting is compliant and transparent, showing planned sales and convertible Class V purchases, with substantial retained holdings.
The disclosure includes conversion terms for Class V shares (one-for-one, no expiration, automatic conversion triggers) and specifies that sales occurred under a Rule 10b5-1 plan. The attorney-in-fact signature indicates proper execution. The report identifies both direct and indirect ownership forms, including Class V holdings that convert into Class A, clarifying voting/economic exposure. This is a routine, compliant insider reporting event with limited governance implications.
