7. Mr. Zalupski entered into prepaid variable forward sale contracts on August 14, 2024, December 5, 2024, and June 5, 2025, respectively, whereby Mr. Zalupski pledged an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares (the "Pledged Shares") of Class B Common Stock to secure obligations under the contracts, and retained dividend and voting rights in the Pledged Shares during the term of the pledge.

8. (Continued from footnote 7) The contracts obligate Mr. Zalupski to deliver to the buyer, on the applicable settlement date for each of the 10 components, up to one hundred percent (100%) of the number of Pledged Shares for such component or, at Mr. Zalupski's option, an equivalent amount of cash. The number of shares to be delivered to the buyer on the settlement date (or on which to base the amount of cash to be delivered to the buyer on the settlement date) is to be determined as follows: (a) if the volume-weighted average price of the Class A Common Stock on the designated valuation date for the applicable component within the period from 8/16/2027 to 8/27/2027 with respect to 1,000,000 shares, 5/15/2028 to 5/26/2028 with respect to 1,000,000 shares, and 3/20/2029 to 4/3/2029 with respect to 1,000,000 shares (each, a "Settlement Price") is less than or equal to $22.12, $24.01 or $17.27, as applicable, (the "Floor Price"),

9. (Continued from Footnote 8) Mr. Zalupski will deliver to the buyer all of the Pledged Shares for the applicable component; (b) if such Settlement Price is greater than the Floor Price but less than or equal to $55.30, $66.02 or $37.78, as applicable (the "Cap Price"), Mr. Zalupski will deliver to the buyer the number of shares equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Pledged Shares for the applicable component multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Floor Price and the denominator of which is such Settlement Price and (c) if such Settlement Price is greater than the Cap Price, Mr. Zalupski will deliver to the buyer the number of shares equal to one hundred percent (100%) of Pledged Shares for the applicable component multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Floor Price plus the excess of such Settlement Price over the Cap Price, and the denominator of which is such Settlement Price.
