The filing identifies a single block of 7,658,900 Class A shares attributed to Darsana-related entities and to Anand Desai, each shown with shared voting and shared dispositive power.

Timing and cash-flow treatment are not specified in the excerpt. Subsequent filings or disclosures would be needed to show any transactions, dispositions, or changes in ownership; the joint filing agreement and Exhibit B provide the control-person mapping.
Disclosure emphasizes shared control and a disclaimer of personal beneficial ownership.

Items of note in the filing are the joint-filing structure and the advisory-client ownership statement; these clarify attribution mechanics but do not by themselves indicate an active acquisition or disposition.
