Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation regulatory
"adopt and approve, the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation (the “Certificate of Formation”)"
Amended and Restated Bylaws regulatory
"the Company’s board of directors approved and adopted the Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”)"
A company’s amended and restated bylaws are its internal rulebook rewritten to include all changes in one updated document, replacing the old bylaws. For investors, this matters because the bylaws set how the board, shareholders and officers make decisions, hold votes and handle disputes; a new consolidated version can change voting rights, control mechanisms or procedures that affect corporate governance and the value or risk of an investment.
written consent regulatory
"holders of an aggregate of 215,736,011 shares ... acted by written consent to adopt and approve"
A written consent is a formal, signed document in which shareholders or directors approve a corporate action without holding a live meeting, similar to signing a petition instead of gathering in person. It matters to investors because it can speed decisions, create a clear legal record of approval, and affect control or governance outcomes — for example enabling changes that would otherwise require a vote at a meeting.
Governance Agreement regulatory
"that certain Governance Agreement, dated December 8, 2025 (the “Governance Agreement”)"
emerging growth company regulatory
"Emerging growth company"
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.
