How many votes do I have? As of the Record Date, there were 381,105,178 shares of Class A common stock outstanding. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share of Class A common stock held as of the Record Date. What vote is required for each proposal? For proposal 1, the election of directors, each director must be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. This means that the ten directors receiving the largest number of “FOR” votes will be elected as directors. Proposal 2, the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers, proposal 3, the ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, and any other proposals that may properly come before the Annual Meeting must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by stockholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon. How are abstentions and broker non-votes counted? Abstentions (shares present at the meeting in person or by proxy that are voted “abstain”) and broker non-votes (explained below) are counted for the purpose of establishing the presence of a quorum but are not counted as votes cast in respect of proposals 1, 2 and 3 to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, and as a result, have no impact on those proposals. What constitutes a “quorum”? The holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of Class A common stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, either in person or represented by proxy, constitute a quorum. What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a beneficial owner of shares held in street name?
