 result of securities laws, lock-up agreements or market standoff agreements described in the “Underwriting” section of this prospectus but will become eligible to be sold at the expiration of the lock-up period or upon early release by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC. On or prior to the date of this prospectus, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC has agreed to release shares of Class A common stock from the foregoing restrictions, including shares of Class A common stock to be released to the selling stockholders in connection with this offering. Substantially all of the remaining approximately shares of Class A common stock outstanding are currently restricted as a result of lock-up agreements entered into in connection with our initial public offering and/or preexisting market standoff agreements and will become eligible to be sold on the earlier of (i) 180 days following the date of the IPO prospectus and (ii) the date that is the second trading day after we publicly announce our earnings for the quarter ending September 30, 2025. In addition, up to 10 million shares may become eligible for release 30 days after the date of this prospectus subject to the satisfaction of certain early release conditions. See “Underwriting.” Moreover, upon the completion of this offering, the holders of approximately million shares of Class A common stock are entitled to various rights with respect to the registration of their shares under the Securities Act. Registration of these shares would result in these shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act immediately upon the effectiveness of the registration, except for shares purchased by affiliates. We have also registered all shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock that we may issue under our equity compensation plans. These shares can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to volume limitations applicable to affiliates and the lock-up and market standoff agreements described in the “Underwriting” section of this prospectus. If a substantial number of shares become available for sale and are sold in a short period of time, the market price of our Class A common stock could decline.
