Context
This filing reflects activity by a large institutional/affiliate holder (Silver Lake-related entity), not a routine individual purchase signal by an executive. The derivative entries represent conversion/exercise of convertible/Class B interests (convertible into Class C common shares); many of the converted shares were sold in the market the same day. Some distributions of shares among Silver Lake affiliates and to employees were made in‑kind and were exempt from reporting under Rule 16a‑13, per the footnotes.
