This Amendment No. 3 (the "Amendment") amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Person on June 6, 2022, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on July 12, 2023 and Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on January 16, 2024, with respect to the Class A common stock (the "Schedule 13D"). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not defined herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:

Voting Agreement

On May 2, 2026, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Gaia Purchaser, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and Gaia Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), pursuant to which the Issuer is to be acquired by Long Lake Management Holdings Inc. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Issuer (the "Merger"), with the Issuer surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, Expedia HoldCo entered into a voting and support agreement with the Issuer, Parent and Merger Sub (the "Voting Agreement"), pursuant to which Expedia HoldCo agreed to, among other things, vote or execute consents with respect to all of its shares of Class A Common Stock in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger and against any Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Voting Agreement), and not to transfer any of its shares of Class A Common Stock until the termination of the Voting Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, in each case subject to certain terms and conditions contained therein.

The Voting Agreement will terminate upon the earliest to occur, among other events, of (i) the termination of the Merger Agreement, (ii) the effective time of the Merger, (iii) the adoption or execution of an Adverse Amendment (as defined in the Voting Agreement) to the Merger Agreement and (iv) November 2, 2026, subject to extension under certain circumstances to February 2, 2027.
