The restricted stock units vested on the first anniversary of Sep 30, 2025. Vesting of restricted stock units does not constitute a sale of securities, but rather a conversion to shares of Issuer's Class A Common Stock by default.
  • F2: Subsequent to this filing, it is anticipated that a Form 4 will be filed to disclose the sale of shares of Issuer's Class A Common Stock for the specific purpose of paying taxes resulting from the vesting of the restricted stock units.
  • F3: Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock upon settlement. The restricted stock units will fully vest on the first anniversary of Sep 30, 2026, subject to the reporting person's continuous service through such vesting date.
• Filing date: Oct 2, 2026; timeliness (whether late) is not indicated in the reported data.

Why it may matter

• The filing shows derivative securities were converted into 14,815 shares and an equal number of derivative shares were disposed on the same date (Sep 30, 2026); the filing also anticipates a subsequent Form 4 to disclose a sale to pay taxes related to RSU vesting (F2).
• The Oct 1, 2026 award of 9,878 RSUs is subject to vesting per footnote F3.
• A Form 4 filing does not show why the insider traded or why the company acted.
