Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

Mr. Ramaswamy originally acquired the securities reported herein as a result of or in connection with the Merger. Mr. Ramaswamy previously reported his beneficial ownership of the Class A Common Stock on a joint Schedule 13D filed with certain other shareholders of the Issuer who together were parties to the Shareholders Agreement, dated September 12, 2025, by and among the Issuer and the shareholders party thereto (the "Shareholders Agreement"). On April 20, 2026, as a result of sales of Class A Common Stock by the Issuer pursuant to the Issuer's at-the-market equity offering program, the shareholder parties to the Shareholders Agreement ceased to beneficially own, in the aggregate, Company Shares (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) representing at least 50% of the voting power of the outstanding Company Shares. Pursuant to Section 4.03(i) of the Shareholders Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement automatically terminated in accordance with its terms on that date, and the reporting persons under the prior joint Schedule 13D ceased to constitute a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Rule 13d-5(b) thereunder. Amendment No. 5 to the prior joint Schedule 13D was filed on May 11, 2026 to report the foregoing. This Schedule 13D is being filed by the Reporting Persons to report his continued beneficial ownership of more than 5% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock following the dissolution of the prior group. The Reporting Persons do not have, as of the date of this Schedule 13D, any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions or events specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may change their plans or proposals in the future. In determining whether to sell shares of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned in this Schedule 13D (and in what amounts), to retain such securities or to purchase additional securities, the Reporting Persons will take into consideration such factors as they deem relevant, including existing and anticipated market conditions from time to time, general economic conditions and regulatory matters, among other things. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to change their intentions with respect to any or all matters referred to in this Item 4.
