Salesforce also holds an additional 1,698,659 shares of Class B common stock, but these shares are not convertible into Class A common stock within 60 days. Pursuant to the terms of a Conversion Rights Agreement Salesforce may not convert its Class B common stock into Class A common stock within 60 days to the extent such conversion would result in Salesforce holding more than 9.99% of the Issuer’s outstanding Class A common stock. The rights of the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are generally the same, except with respect to voting and conversion. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes per share and is convertible into one share of Class A common stock.
