[1] Holders may receive additional or special interest under specified circumstances as outlined under each applicable indenture governing the Convertible Notes.

[2] “Redemption Date” for the 2025 Convertible Notes is the date on which the Company redeemed all outstanding 2025 Convertible Notes. See discussion further below under “Conversions and Redemption of 2025 Convertible Notes” pertaining to redemption of the 2025 Convertible Notes. “Redemption Date” for the 2027 Convertible Notes is the date on which the Company will redeem all outstanding 2027 Convertible Notes, as discussed under Note 18, Subsequent Events, to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

[3] “Maturity Date” is the stated maturity date under each applicable indenture governing such notes, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased in accordance with their terms.

[4] The “Initial Conversion Rate” is stated in shares of the Company’s class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount. The conversion rates are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. In addition, following certain events that may occur prior to the respective maturity dates or if the Company delivers a notice of redemption, the Company will increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its respective Convertible Notes in connection with such corporate event or notice of redemption, as the case may be, in certain circumstances as provided in each indenture governing the respective Convertible Notes.

[5] The “Initial Conversion Price” is stated in dollars per share of the Company’s class A common stock.

[6] On or after the stated dates until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the respective maturity dates, holders may convert the Convertible Notes at any time. Upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company’s class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of class A common stock, at the Company’s election. For the 2025 Convertible Notes, the date presented is the date on which the Company delivered its notice of full redemption of the 2025 Convertible Notes, which resulted in the 2025 Convertible Notes being convertible at any time thereafter until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 11, 2024. See below under “Conversions and Redemption of 2025 Convertible Notes” for further information. For the 2027 Convertible Notes, the date presented is the date on which the Company delivered its notice of full redemption of the 2027 Convertible Notes, which resulted in the 2027 Convertible Notes being convertible at any time thereafter until 5:00pm New York City time, on February 20, 2025. See Note 18, Subsequent Events, to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

[7] Prior to the respective dates, the Convertible Notes are convertible only under the following circumstances: (a) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2021 for the 2025 Convertible Notes (of which all then outstanding notes were redeemed on July 15, 2024), on June 30, 2021 for the 2027 Convertible Notes, on June 30, 2024 for the 2030 Convertible Notes and 2031 Convertible Notes, on September 30, 2024 for the 2032 Convertible Notes, on December 31, 2024 for the 2028 Convertible Notes, or on March 31, 2025 for the 2029 Convertible Notes (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s class A common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price of the respective Convertible Notes on each applicable trading day; (b) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the “trading price” (as defined under each applicable indenture governing the respective Convertible Notes) per $1,000 principal amount of the respective Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s class A common stock and the applicable conversion rate on each such trading day; (c) if the Company calls any or all of the respective Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; and (d) upon occurrence of specified corporate events as described in each applicable indenture governing the respective Convertible Notes.

[8] “Issuance Costs” reflect the customary offering expenses associated with each of the Convertible Notes. The Company accounts for these issuance costs as a reduction to the principal amount of the respective Convertible Notes and amortizes the issuance costs to interest expense from the respective debt issuance dates through the earlier of the “Maturity Date” or the “Date of Holder Put Option,” if applicable, at the “Effective Interest Rates” stated in the table.
