, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR CLASS A COMMON STOCK ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S.TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY. Definition of a Non-U.S.Holder For purposes of this discussion, a “Non-U.S.Holder” is any beneficial owner of our Class A common stock that is neither a “U.S. person” nor an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A U.S. person is any person that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as any of the following:

| • |     | an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States; |

| • |     | a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; |

| • |     | an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or |

| • |     | a trust that (i) is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and all substantial decisions of which are

 purposes.                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |

Distributions We do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. However, if we do make distributions of cash or property on our Class A common stock, such distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles.

Any excess will be treated as capital gain and will be treated as described under the subsection titled “—Sale or Other Taxable Disposition” below. Subject to the discussion below regarding effectively connected income, dividends paid to a Non-U.S.Holder will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross
