Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-08-13; Form 4 filed: 2026-08-17 (appears filed after the typical 2-business-day deadline).
• Shares transferred: 1,578,349 shares; price per share reported: $0; total reported value: $0.
• Security type: Class B Common Stock (convertible into Class A — see footnote).
• Reported as a gift and exempt from the short-swing profit rule under Rule 16b-5 (footnote F2).
• Holdings are held in related trusts: Venturo Family 2024 Friends and Family GRAT and a GRAT remainder trust (footnotes F3–F5); other family trusts and entities are referenced in additional footnotes (F6–F9).

Context

• This was a gift transaction, which does not necessarily indicate the insider’s market view of the company. The shares are Class B and convertible to Class A (footnote F1). The transfer appears to involve related family trusts and estate planning vehicles rather than an open-market sale or purchase. The Form 4 was filed a few days after the transfer date, which may be late under Section 16 reporting rules.
