After the latest trade, the filing shows 44,179,216 Class A shares held indirectly. The reporting persons are identified as ten percent owners, but they expressly disclaim beneficial ownership beyond any pecuniary interest. There is no disclosure of trading plans, so timing context beyond these dates is not provided.
