The Company has granted stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”), both of which are subject to service-based vesting conditions, and RSUs with performance-based vesting conditions (“PSUs”). As of March 31, 2026, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, excluding unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to PSUs, was $226.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years. Stock-based compensation expense for PSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the PSUs when the performance-based

vesting condition is deemed probable to occur. As of March 31, 2026, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to PSUs was $33.6 million.

2021 equity incentive plan

In July 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, RSUs (including PSUs), unrestricted stock awards, cash-based awards and dividend equivalent rights. Stock awards granted under the 2021 Plan with service-based vesting conditions generally vest over three- or four-year service periods, and stock options expire after ten years. As of March 31, 2026, 11,015,324 shares of Class A common stock remained available for future issuance under the 2021 Plan.

2021 employee stock purchase plan

In July 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended and restated (the “ESPP”). The ESPP permits eligible employees to purchase shares of Class A common stock at a discount in accordance with the terms of the offering and consists of consecutive, overlapping 12-month offering periods, each consisting of two six-month purchase periods. As of March 31, 2026, 2,795,174 shares of Class A common stock remained available for issuance and sale under the ESPP.

The weighted average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $72.91 per share and $52.41 per share, respectively.
