1. These shares of Class A common stock reflect the settlement, on November 7, 2023, of restricted stock units ("RSUs") granted to the Reporting Person pursuant to the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, each of which was converted into a share of the Issuer's Class A common stock on a 1-for-1 basis.

2. Shares withheld to pay taxes applicable to the settlement of the RSUs previously awarded to the Reporting Person to which footnote (1) refers.

3. Held of record by Mr. Omer's spouse. Mr. Omer may be deemed to beneficially own all of the shares held of record by his spouse; however, Mr. Omer disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held of record by his spouse except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.

4. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's Class A common stock, subject to the Reporting Person's continued status as a service provider to the Issuer.
