 common stock to decline.

We
do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, and you must rely on price appreciation of your shares of Class A common stock
for return on your investment.

We
have paid no cash dividends on any class of our stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the near term. For the
foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate
paying any cash dividends on our stock. Accordingly, investors must be prepared to rely on sales of their shares after price appreciation
to earn an investment return, which may never occur. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our shares. Any determination
to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations,
financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board deems relevant.

We
will incur increased costs as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives
and corporate governance practices.

As
a public company, and particularly after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we will incur significant legal, accounting,
and other expenses that we did not incur previously. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”), the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of Nasdaq, and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various
requirements on U.S. reporting public companies, including the establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls
and corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance
initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities
more time-consuming and costly. For example, we expect that these rules and regulations may make it more expensive for us to obtain director
and officer liability insurance, which in turn could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified senior management
personnel or members for our board of directors. In addition, these rules and regulations are often subject to varying interpretations,
and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies.
This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure
and governance practices. Pursuant to Section 404 of SOX (“
