- F2The shares and prices shown have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Issuer's reverse stock split of its outstanding Class A Shares on a 1-for-8 basis effected on December 15, 2025.

However, pursuant to the Conversion Notice and limited conversion thereunder, the minimum fixed conversion price and prior notice was waived with respect to this transaction, and the conversion price was based upon the thirty (30) day average closing price. Accordingly, the conversion is reported under Code J.
