| Item 4. | Ownership | |
| (a) | Amount beneficially owned: The reporting person holds a total of 2,957,781 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer (including 16,951 shares of Class A Common Stock subject to restricted stock units held by the reporting person that are exercisable within 60 days of December 31, 2024) and 27,936,907 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Issuer.
Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder and has no expiration date. Each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to twenty votes per share, whereas each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share. The rights of the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are identical, except with respect to the aforementioned conversion rights and voting rights.
In addition, Mr. Foroughi and Herald Chen, a member of the board of directors of the Issuer (collectively with certain affiliates, the "Voting Agreement Parties") are parties to a Voting Agreement (the "Voting Agreement"), which contains certain provisions relating to voting of securities of the Issuer by the parties thereto. Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, together, Mr. Foroughi and Mr. Chen have the authority to direct the vote of all shares of Class B Common Stock, and all other shares of capital stock of the Issuer, held by the Voting Agreement Parties and their respective permitted entities and permitted transferees on all matters to be voted upon by stockholders.
By virtue of the Voting Agreement and the obligations and rights thereunder, the reporting person acknowledges and agrees that he is acting as a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with the other Voting Agreement Parties and/or certain of their affiliates. Based in part on information reported by the Issuer to the reporting person, such a "group" would be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 36,337,732 shares of Class A Common Stock, consisting of 5,649,191 shares of Class A Common Stock (including 1,880,201 shares of Class A Common Stock subject to options held by Mr. Chen that are exercisable within 60 days of December 31, 2024 and 16,951 shares of Class A Common Stock subject to restricted stock units held by Mr. Foroughi that will vest within 60 days of December 31, 2024) and 30,688,541 shares of Class B Common Stock, each of which is convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock, which represents 10.6% of the Class A Common Stock of the Issuer, as of December 31, 2024, calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3. The ownership percentage above is calculated based on 309,353,198 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2024, as reported by the Issuer to the reporting person, plus the assumed exercise or vesting, as applicable of 1,880,201 shares of Class A Common Stock subject to options held by Mr. Chen, and 16,951 shares of Class A Common Stock subject to restricted stock units held by Mr. Foroughi, and conversion of 30,688,541 shares of Class B Common Stock deemed beneficially owned by such "group" into shares of Class A Common Stock. Mr. Chen has separately made a Schedule 13G filing reporting his beneficial ownership of shares of Class A Common Stock.
