On the effective date specified in the Certificate of Amendment, every holder of outstanding shares of common stock was entitled to receive, subject to the treatment of fractional shares described in the Certificate of Amendment, one share of Class A common stock or Class B common stock, as applicable, in exchange for ten shares of Class A common stock or Class B common stock, as applicable, held by such holder (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split became effective on May 16, 2023.
