How many shares must be present to conduct business at the Annual Meeting?

A quorum is necessary to hold a valid meeting of stockholders. The holders of a majority in voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, present in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum. Based on the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock outstanding on March 4, 2025 the record date, shares representing 70,705,378 votes must be present at the Annual Meeting, virtually or by proxy to constitute a quorum. If you vote, including by internet or proxy card, your shares voted will be counted towards the quorum for the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” are counted as present for the purpose of determining a quorum. Generally, a “broker non-vote” does not count as a vote in favor of or against a particular proposal for which the broker has no discretionary voting authority. “Broker non-votes” are votes that brokers holding shares of record for their customers (i.e., in “street name”) are not permitted to cast under applicable stock market regulations because the brokers have not received instructions (or have received incomplete instructions) from their customers as to certain proposals.

How do I vote?

The procedures for voting are as follows:

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, on March 4, 2025, the record date, then you are considered, with respect to those shares, the “stockholder of record.” As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to us or to a third party, or to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting.

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the virtual Annual Meeting, vote by proxy using a proxy card, vote by proxy over the telephone, or vote by proxy via the internet. Whether or not you plan to attend the virtual Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the virtual Annual Meeting and vote at the Annual Meeting, even if you have already voted by proxy. The vote you cast at the Annual Meeting will supersede any previous votes that you may have submitted.
