share equally, identically, and ratably, on a per share basis, with respect to any dividend or distribution of cash or property paid or distributed by the company, unless different treatment of the shares of the affected class is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of such affected class, voting separately as a class.
Liquidation Rights. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock are entitled to share equally, identically, and ratably in all assets remaining after the payment of any liabilities, liquidation preferences, and accrued or declared but unpaid dividends, if any, with respect to any outstanding preferred stock, unless a different treatment is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of such affected class, voting separately as a class.
Change of Control Transactions. The holders of our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock are treated equally and identically with respect to shares of our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock owned by them, on (a) the closing of the sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets, (b) the consummation of a merger, reorganization, consolidation, or share transfer which results in our voting securities outstanding immediately before the transaction (or the voting securities issued with respect to our voting securities outstanding immediately before the transaction) representing less than a majority of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the company or the surviving or acquiring entity, or (c) the closing of the transfer (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a person or group of affiliated persons of securities of the company if, after closing, the transferee person or group would hold 50% or more of the outstanding voting power of the company (or the surviving or acquiring entity). However, consideration to be paid or received by a holder of common stock in connection with any such assets sale, merger, reorganization, consolidation, or share transfer under any employment, consulting, severance, or other arrangement will be disregarded for the purposes of determining whether holders of common stock are treated equally and identically.
Subdivisions and Combinations. If we subdivide or combine in any manner outstanding shares of our Class A common stock or our Class B common stock, the outstanding shares of the other classes will be subdivided or combined in the same manner.
No Preemptive or Similar Rights. Holders of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights, and are not subject to conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions.
Conversion. Each share of our Class B common stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one share of our Class A common stock. On any transfer of shares of Class B common stock, whether or not for value, each such transferred share will automatically convert into one share of Class A common stock, except for certain transfers described in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, including transfers for tax and estate planning purposes, so long as the transferring holder continues to hold sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares transferred.
Any holder’s shares of our Class B common stock will convert automatically into our Class A common stock, on a one-to-one basis, upon the following: (1) the sale or transfer of such share of our Class B common stock; (2) the death of the Class B common stockholder; and (3) on the final conversion date, defined as the earlier of (A) March 20, 2028, (B) the last trading day of the fiscal quarter immediately following the date upon which the then outstanding shares of our Class B common stock first represent less than 10% of the aggregate number of the then outstanding shares of our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock, or (C) the date specified by a vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our Class B common stock, voting as a single class.
Once transferred and converted into Class A common stock, the Class B common may not be reissued.
Fully Paid and Non-Assessable. All outstanding shares of our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
