Item 4. Ownership.

The following information with respect to the ownership of the Common Stock of the Issuer by the Reporting Person is provided as of December 31, 2020:


(a)			Amount beneficially owned:

Benoit Dageville has:

i.Sole voting and dispositive power over:

1.350,000 shares of Class B Common Stock held by The Snow 2020 Grantor Retained Annuity Trust UTA dated March 24, 2020, for which Mr. Dageville is trustee; and

2.1,660,000 shares of Class B Common Stock subject to options exercisable within 60 days of December 31, 2020, of which 1,376,666 shares of Class B Common Stock are vested as of such date.

ii.Shared voting and dispositive power over:

1.6,238,500 shares of Class B Common Stock held by The Snow Trust, for which Mr. Dageville and his spouse serve as co-trustees;

2.50,000 shares of Class B Common Stock held by The Cedric Dageville GST Exempt Trust created under the Snow 2020 Irrevocable Trust UTA dated March 24, 2020, for which Mr. Dageville and his spouse serve as co-trustees; and


CUSIP No. 833445109			SCHEDULE 13G			Page 5 of 8

3.50,000 shares of Class B Common Stock held by The Marine Dageville GST Exempt Trust created under the Snow 2020 Irrevocable Trust UTA dated March 24, 2020, for which Mr. Dageville and his spouse serve as co-trustees.

The Snow Trust has shared voting and dispositive power over 6,238,500 shares of Class B Common Stock.

Each share of Class B Common Stock will automatically convert into one share of Class A Common Stock upon certain events specified in the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation.


(b)			Percent of Class: Benoit Dageville: 7.8% The Snow Trust: 6.0%

The percent of class was calculated based on (a) 98,110,276 shares of Class A Common Stock and (b) 188,592,130 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2020.

Each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote, and each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes.

Based on the aggregate number of shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person, which pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is treated as converted into Class A Common Stock only for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the Reporting Person. In accordance with Rule 13d-3, the percentage reported does not reflect the ten for one voting power of the Class B Common Stock because the Class B Common Stock is not a registered class of voting equity securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The 8,348,500 and 6,238,500 shares of Class B Common Stock held by Benoit Dageville and The Snow Trust, respectively, represent 4.2% and 3.1%, respectively, of the aggregate combined voting power of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.


(c)			Number of shares as to which such person has:


			(i) Sole power to vote or to direct the vote:

			(iv) Shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of:
