Each 1,000,000 share increase or decrease in the number of shares offered by us would increase or decrease the net proceeds to us by $ million, assuming the assumed initial public offering price remains the same and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. The principal purposes of this offering are to obtain additional capital, create a public market for our Class A common stock, facilitate our future access to the public equity markets, increase awareness of our company among potential customers and end-users, and improve our competitive position. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to satisfy an estimated $ of tax withholding and remittance obligations in connection with the IPO RSU Vest and to use the remainder for working capital and other general corporate purposes, which may include:

| • |     | investment in new products and capabilities; |

| • |     | investment in expanding awareness, usage, and distribution of our products; and |

| • |     | potential acquisitions involving new products, offerings, and technologies, although we have no commitments with respect to 
 any such acquisitions at this time.                                                                                         |

We have not yet determined our anticipated expenditures and therefore cannot estimate the amounts to be used for each of the purposes discussed above. The amount and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including those described in “Risk factors,” “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations,” “Business,” and elsewhere in this prospectus. Our management will retain broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds we receive from this offering, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the net proceeds. Pending the use of the proceeds from this offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation instruments, including short-term and long-term interest-bearing instruments, investment-grade securities, and direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government. We cannot predict whether the proceeds invested will yield a favorable return. 84
