INFORMATION STATEMENT FOR THE 2024 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
July 22, 2024
INFORMATION REGARDING THE MEETING
This information statement is being made available to our stockholders to provide information regarding our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders to be held on Monday, July 22, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. Pacific time. The meeting will be held online. The record date for the meeting is June 14, 2024, or the “Record Date.” Additional information about the meeting is included below under “Questions and Answers about this Information Statement and the Meeting.”
As of the close of business on June 14, 2024, we had 1,393,770,005 shares of Class A common stock, 22,528,406 shares of Class B common stock, and 231,626,943 shares of Class C common stock outstanding. Holders of our Class A common stock are not entitled to vote on any pending matters. Holders of our Class B common stock as of the Record Date are entitled to one vote per share and holders of Class C common stock as of the Record Date are entitled to ten votes per share. Holders of shares of Class B common stock and Class C common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.
As a result of the Class B common stock and Class C common stock that they hold and have voting power to as of the Record Date, Evan Spiegel, our co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, and Robert Murphy, our co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, will be able to exercise voting rights with respect to over 99% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote. As a result, Mr. Spiegel and Mr. Murphy, or Mr. Spiegel acting alone, have the ability to control the outcome of all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval.
We have been informed that Mr. Spiegel and Mr. Murphy intend to act by written consent to vote their shares of Class C common stock: (1) “FOR” the election of each of the named nominees for director; and (2) “FOR” ratification of the appointment of our independent public accounting firm for fiscal year 2024. Accordingly, we expect Proposals 1 and 2 to be approved by written consent prior to the meeting.
Because our directors will be elected by written consent, and not at the meeting, our 2024 meeting of stockholders may not be an annual meeting of stockholders under the Delaware General Corporation Law. For all other purposes, we treat the meeting as our annual meeting of stockholders.
