 to continue to rely on some of these exemptions. As a result, holders of our Class A Common Shares may not be provided with the benefits of certain corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq. As a foreign private issuer in the United States, we are exempt from certain U.S. proxy rules and disclosure requirements under the Exchange Act, which may afford less protection to holders of our Class A Common Shares than they would enjoy if we were a domestic U.S. company. As a foreign private issuer in the United States, we are exempt from, among other things, the rules prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements under the Exchange Act and the rules relating to selective disclosure of material non-publicinformation under Regulation FD under the Exchange Act. In addition, our executive officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit and recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. We are also not required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as domestic U.S. companies with securities registered under the Exchange Act. For example, in addition to annual reports with audited financial statements, domestic U.S. companies are required to file with the SEC quarterly reports that include interim financial statements reviewed by an independent registered public accounting firm and certified by the companies’ principal executive and financial officers. By contrast, as a foreign private issuer, we are not required to file such quarterly reports with the SEC or to provide quarterly certifications by our principal executive and financial officers. As a result, holders of our Class A Common Shares may be afforded less protection than they would under the Exchange Act rules applicable to domestic U.S. companies. We may lose our foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses. The determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last business day of an issuer’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and accordingly, the next determination with respect to us will be made on June 30, 2026. In the future, we would lose our foreign private issuer status if more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are directly or indirectly owned by U.S. residents and we fail to meet additional requirements necessary to maintain our foreign private issuer status. If we lose our foreign private issuer status, we will be required to file with the SEC periodic reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. We will also have to mandatorily comply
