Context

• These filings reflect a 10% owner converting dual-class shares to Class A and then selling or gifting some of the shares. Conversions of Class B to Class A are structural (see F1) and the subsequent sales were executed under a pre-established 10b5-1 plan (F2), which is a routine way insiders manage scheduled disposals. Gifts do not necessarily indicate market sentiment.
