(the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2020, there were 43,242,211 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) outstanding as of October 19, 2020. James Ralph Scapa (“Mr. Scapa”) is the Trustee of the James R. Scapa Declaration of Trust dated March 5, 1987 (the “Scapa Trust”), and the Manager of JRS Investments, LLC (the “JRS LLC” and, collectively with Mr. Scapa and the Scapa Trust, the “Reporting Persons”). As of December 31, 2020 (the “Event Date”), the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 18,079,551 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock reported above includes (i) 10,875,996 shares of Class B common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), of the Company held by the Scapa Trust, (ii) 7,134,004 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company held by the JRS LLC, (iii) 64,551 shares of Class A Common Stock and (iv) 5,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued pursuant to vesting of restricted stock units within sixty (60) days of the Event Date held by the Reporting Person, and excludes (i) 36,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued pursuant to vesting of restricted stock units and (ii) 85,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued pursuant to options, each of which were not exercisable upon or within sixty (60) days of the Event Date. The rights of the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion rights. Each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes per share. Each share of Class B Common Stock is immediately convertible, at the option of the Reporting Persons, into one share of Class A Common Stock and shall automatically convert into Class A Common Stock upon the occurrence of certain events. Please see the Company’s Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-1 (File No. 333-220710) for a description of the conversion rights.
