In connection with the IPO, the company, our directors, executive officers, the IPO selling stockholders and the holders of substantially of all of our capital stock, entered into lock-up agreements with the IPO underwriters under which they agreed that not to offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of the common stock until the Final Release Date, without the prior written consent of Goldman Sachs & Co., LLC & Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, subject to certain exceptions. These IPO lock-up agreements expired on August 27, 2021 with respect to a number of shares equal to 15% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock owned by each holder or issuable upon exercise of vested equity awards owned by each holder immediately prior to the commencement of trading of the IPO (the “Early Release Shares”).
In connection with this offering, the company and its officers, directors and certain of its stockholders have agreed with the underwriters, subject to certain exceptions, not to dispose of or hedge any of their common stock or securities (except for any shares being sold in this offering) convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Class A common stock (the
“Lock-up
Restrictions”) during the period from the date of this prospectus continuing through the Final Release Date (the
“Lock-up
Period”), except with the prior written consent of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, and subject to certain exceptions below. See the section of this prospectus titled “Shares Eligible for Future Sale” for a discussion of certain transfer restrictions.
