Explanation of Responses:

1. Each Restricted Stock Unit ("RSU") represents a contingent right to receive 1 share of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock upon settlement.

2. The RSUs vest quarterly as to 1/16th of the total RSUs, beginning on May 15, 2026, subject to continued service through each vesting date.

3. The stock options to acquire Issuer's Class A Common Stock (the "Options") vest and become exercisable as follows: from the date of grant up to and including February 14, 2028 (the "Price Vesting Period"), if the per share price of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock on NASDAQ meets or exceeds the per share exercise price relating to the applicable tranche of Options set forth above at any time during the Price Vesting Period, then each such tranche of Options will fully vest on such date, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service through each such date.

4. Following the Price Vesting Period, any tranches of Options that did not vest during the Price Vesting Period will only vest with respect to 6/16ths of the total Options on February 15, 2028, and then 1/16th of the total Options quarterly thereafter, with the final 1/16th of the total Options vesting on August 15, 2030, with the vesting occurring equally across each tranche, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service through each such date.
