Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On October 20, 2021, in connection with the IPO, the Company undertook certain transactions as part of a corporation reorganization (the “P10 Reorganization”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company issued an aggregate of 97,155,596 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), to all of the then-existing stockholders of P10 Holdings, Inc. (“P10 Holdings”) and certain other investors. Holders of Class B Common Stock may elect to convert shares of Class B Common Stock on a one-for-one basis into Class A Common Stock at any time. After a Sunset (as defined below) becomes effective, each share of Class B Common Stock will automatically convert into Class A Common Stock. A “Sunset” is triggered by any of the earlier of the following: (i) the Sunset Holders (as defined in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as defined below)) cease to maintain direct or indirect beneficial ownership of 10% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (determined assuming all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock have been converted into Class A Common Stock), (ii) the Sunset Holders collectively cease to maintain direct or indirect beneficial ownership of at least 25% of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and (iii) upon the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. For further information, see “Description of Capital Stock” in the Company’s Prospectus. The issuances of the Class B Common Stock described in this paragraph were made in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Company relied on this exemption from registration based in part on the nature of the transactions and the various representations made by the parties thereto.

2021 Stock Incentive Plan
As part of the P10 Reorganization, each employee benefit plan, incentive compensation plan and other similar plans to which P10 Holdings was a party was assumed by, and continued to be the plan of, the Company. Following the P10 Reorganization, the Board approved, and its sole stockholder ratified, an amendment to the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to increase the number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock issuable under the Plan to 3,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock.
The purposes of the Plan are to advance the interests of the Company by enhancing its ability to attract and retain employees, officers and non-employee directors, in each case who are selected to be participants in the plan, and by motivating them to continue working toward and contributing to the success and growth of the Company. Persons eligible to receive awards under the Plan include current and prospective employees, current and prospective officers and members of the Board who are not employees. The Plan authorizes the award of incentive and nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, incentive bonuses and divided equivalents, any of which may be performance-based. The Company believes the variety of awards that may be granted under the Plan gives us the flexibility to offer competitive incentives and to tailor benefits to specific needs and circumstances.
The description of the foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms and conditions of the Plan, which was previously filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Registration Statement, and is incorporated herein by reference.

The descriptions of the foregoing are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete terms and conditions of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
