On May 24, 2022, we completed a secondary public offering (the “Secondary Offering”) of 5,175,000 shares of our Class A common stock at a price of $21.50 per share. All of the shares sold in the Secondary Offering were sold by certain of the Company’s stockholders. As such, we did not receive any proceeds from the Secondary Offering. The shares sold in the secondary offering consisted of 2,771,772 existing shares of Class A common stock and 2,403,228 newly issued Class A shares issued in connection with the exercise of exchange rights in which 2,403,228 EWC Ventures Units and corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock were exchanged for the newly issued shares of Class A common stock.
