Pay-Versus-Performance Disclosure
As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between what is defined under Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K as “compensation actually paid,” (“CAP”), to our Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and non-PEO NEOs and certain financial performance measures of the Company. The CAP amounts are calculated using a methodology prescribed by the SEC rules and differ significantly from the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”) calculation of executive compensation. The CAP values do not represent amounts actually earned or paid to our NEOs, including with respect to RSUs and PSUs, which remain subject to forfeiture if the vesting conditions are not satisfied. Because CAP values are based on our stock price as of particular dates, the amounts shown in the tables below reflect the fluctuations in our stock price including our stock price at the time of our IPO and the volatility in our stock price since that time and could have been substantially different if other dates were chosen. The Compensation Committee does not utilize CAP as a basis for making compensation decisions. For further information concerning our overall compensation philosophy and how we align executive compensation with our performance, please refer to “Named Executive Officer Compensation - Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Objectives, Philosophy, and Elements of Executive Compensation.”

Represents all years for which the Company is required to report under Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The Company first became a reporting company pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act in 2021.
2.
Represents total compensation reported for our PEO or the average total compensation reported for our non-PEO NEOs as a group, as applicable, for each corresponding year in the “Total” column of the SCT. Please refer to “Named Executive Officer Compensation - Compensation Tables - 2024 Summary Compensation Table.” The names of non-PEO NEOs included for purposes of calculating the average amounts of total compensation for both 2021 and 2022 are as follows: Gaurav Anand, our Chief Financial Officer; Harold Rogers, our General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer; Hanseung Kang, our Representative Director, Business Management; and Thuan Pham, our former Chief Technology Officer. The names of non-PEO NEOs included for purposes of calculating the average amounts of total compensation for 2023 are as follows: Gaurav Anand, our Chief Financial Officer; Harold Rogers, our General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer; Hanseung Kang, our Representative Director, Business Management; and Tae Jung Kim, our former Vice President of Digital Customer Experience.

3.
The amounts in these columns are computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and do not represent amounts earned or realized by, or paid to, the NEO during the applicable year. The CAP amounts for 2021 include, among other awards, several equity grants that were awarded separately over various years since our incorporation prior to our IPO but vested at the same time at our IPO in accordance with their terms. The CAP amounts for such awards have since significantly decreased, as shown in columns (f) and (g). The following detailed breakdown tables describe the adjustments, each of which is prescribed by SEC rule, to calculate the CAP amounts from the related SCT amounts. The CAP and SCT amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned or realized by, or paid to, the applicable NEO during the applicable year, but rather are amounts determined in accordance with SEC rules contained in Item 402 of Regulation S-K:

The beginning of the measurement period was March 11, 2021, the date our Class A common stock began trading on the NYSE.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return
CAP and TSR - Over the last four years, our TSR has decreased by approximately 25.2%, from $59.65 to $44.63, while the CAP to our PEO decreased by approximately 99.6%, from $684,330,158 to $2,400,459, the average CAP to our non-PEO NEOs as a group decreased by approximately 78.3% from $46,444,743 to $10,076,759, and our peer group TSR increased by 24.6%, from $122.09 to $152.10.
Total Stockholder Return Graph - The graph below compares the cumulative total stockholder return on our Class A common stock with the cumulative total return on the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500”) and the S&P 500 Consumer Discretionary Distribution & Retail. The graph assumes $100 was invested at the market close on March 11, 2021, which was the first day our Class A common stock began trading. Data for the S&P 500 and the S&P 500 Consumer Discretionary Distribution & Retail assume reinvestment of dividends. The graph uses the closing market price on March 11, 2021 of $49.25 per share as the initial value of our Class A common stock. The comparisons in the graph below are based upon historical data and are not indicative of, nor intended to forecast, future performance of our Class A common stock.
     
Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income
CAP and Net Income - Over the last four years, our net loss reduced by approximately 104.3%, from $(1,542,590,000) to $66,000,000. During the same period, the CAP to our PEO decreased by approximately 99.6%, and the average CAP to our non-PEO NEOs as a group decreased by approximately 78.3%. The reason for the divergence is that CAP measures the change in stock price to equity held and vested or unvested by our NEOs.
     
Total Shareholder Return Vs Peer Group
CAP and TSR - Over the last four years, our TSR has decreased by approximately 25.2%, from $59.65 to $44.63, while the CAP to our PEO decreased by approximately 99.6%, from $684,330,158 to $2,400,459, the average CAP to our non-PEO NEOs as a group decreased by approximately 78.3% from $46,444,743 to $10,076,759, and our peer group TSR increased by 24.6%, from $122.09 to $152.10.
Total Stockholder Return Graph - The graph below compares the cumulative total stockholder return on our Class A common stock with the cumulative total return on the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500”) and the S&P 500 Consumer Discretionary Distribution & Retail. The graph assumes $100 was invested at the market close on March 11, 2021, which was the first day our Class A common stock began trading. Data for the S&P 500 and the S&P 500 Consumer Discretionary Distribution & Retail assume reinvestment of dividends. The graph uses the closing market price on March 11, 2021 of $49.25 per share as the initial value of our Class A common stock. The comparisons in the graph below are based upon historical data and are not indicative of, nor intended to forecast, future performance of our Class A common stock.
