On March 20, 2026, the Reporting Persons sold an aggregate amount of 5,880,000 shares of Class A common stock of the Issuer pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated as of March 18, 2026, by and among the Issuer, the selling stockholders party thereto, and BofA Securities, Inc. and Jefferies LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters (the "Underwriters") named therein (the "Underwriting Agreement").

| (e) | Not applicable. | |
| Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer | |
In connection with the Underwriting Agreement, the Reporting Persons entered into lock-up agreements with the Underwriters pursuant to which they agreed, for a period of 180 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement, not to directly or indirectly offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of or transfer any shares of the Issuer's common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of the Issuer's common stock, without the prior written consent of BofA Securities, Inc. and Jefferies LLC.
