The number of shares to be delivered to the buyer on the settlement date (or on which to base the amount of cash to be delivered to the buyer on the settlement date) is to be determined as follows: (a) if the volume-weighted average price of the Class A Common Stock on the designated valuation date for the applicable component within the period from 8/16/2027 to 8/27/2027 with respect to 1,000,000 shares, 5/15/2028 to 5/26/2028 with respect to 1,000,000 shares, and 3/20/2029 to 4/3/2029 with respect to 1,000,000 shares (each, a &quot;Settlement Price&quot;) is less than or equal to $22.12, $24.01 or $17.27, as applicable, (the &quot;Floor Price&quot;),</footnote>
