 other than to the extent set forth in our certificate of incorporation or otherwise required by applicable law. Holders of our common stock vote together as a single class on all matters, except as otherwise set forth in our
certificate of incorporation or as required by applicable law. Our directors and executive officers and entities affiliated with them will hold stock with approximately % voting power over us after this offering (or approximately %
voting power over us after this offering if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full). As a result, these stockholders, if acting together, would be able to significantly influence matters requiring approval by
our stockholders, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other extraordinary transactions. They may also have interests that differ from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your
interests. The concentration of voting power may have the effect of delaying, preventing, or deterring a change of control of our company, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their Class A common stock as
part of a sale of our company, and might ultimately affect the market price of our Class A common stock.

We may not be able to maintain an active, liquid trading market for our Class A common stock. Our Class A common
