• Holdings context: Filing notes Horowitz directly holds 13,049 Class A shares and has 13,642 shares issuable upon RSU vesting (Footnote F3). Some shares are held through a revocable living trust (Footnote F2).

Context Pro‑rata in‑kind distributions like this simply allocate shares from a fund to its limited partners and are not the same as an open‑market purchase that might signal direct insider buying. The 23-share distribution is small relative to Horowitz’s reported holdings and does not imply an active trading decision by the director.
