"step down as Reddit’s Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary"
A corporate secretary is a person in a company who helps organize meetings, keeps important records, and makes sure the company follows legal rules. They act like a bridge between the company's leaders and its shareholders, making sure everything runs smoothly and by the book. Their role is important because it helps the company stay organized and legally compliant.

"Emerging growth company o o Item 5.02"
An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.
