Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act, such number of shares of New PubCo Class A common stock registered hereby shall include an indeterminate number of shares of New PubCo Class A common stock that may be issued in connection with a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar event. |
