        <classPercent>11.51% (percentage ownership is calculated based on 95,915,584 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2026, assuming that only the shares of Class B Common Stock held by Mr. Gardner were converted into Class A Common Stock and assumes that the 609,631 shares of common stock underlying the stock options are deemed outstanding pursuant to SEC Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i)). In the event that all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock, the percentage ownership reported in row 11 above would be 11.46%.</classPercent>
