Context
This was a conversion of existing Class B shares into Class A shares under the company’s one-for-one conversion rules — a bookkeeping/structural change rather than a buy or sell in the open market. For a 10% owner like Duca, many shares are held through entities and trusts; the filing clarifies voting/dispositive control and disclaims direct beneficial ownership in several instances, which is common in entity-structured holdings.
