2021 Equity Incentive Plan
In March 2021, the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan became effective. The 2021 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to employees and for the grant of non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units and performance shares to our employees, directors and consultants and our parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees and consultants. Outstanding restricted stock units and performance units are entitled to dividend equivalents in the form of additional unvested restricted stock units or unvested performance units equal in value to the amount of any declared dividend based on the closing price of the Company’s Class A stock on the dividend payment date. Dividend equivalents are forfeited if the underlying award does not vest. As of March 31, 2026, 46,589,348 shares of Class A common stock were reserved for issuance under this plan including shares reserved for previously granted awards discussed below as well as shares reserved for issuance of future awards under the plan.

The Company has granted PRSUs under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to certain employees of the Company that represent shares potentially issuable in the future. In July 2024, the Company granted PRSUs by which the first tranche of 30% and the second tranche of 70% will vest upon the Company achieving certain adjusted operating income targets during any four consecutive quarters of the respective performance periods, subject to employees remaining with the Company through the vesting date. The performance periods for the first and second tranches is 4 and 5 years, respectively. Adjusted operating income means GAAP operating income adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense and payroll expense specifically related to these PRSU awards.
In 2022, the Company granted PRSUs that vest in two equal tranches subject to the Company achieving certain cumulative adjusted earnings per share over eight quarters at any point during the 5-year performance period, subject to employees remaining with the Company through the vesting date. Adjusted earnings per share means GAAP net income adjusted to exclude income tax expenses, as well as stock-based compensation expense and payroll tax expense specifically related to these PRSU awards.

a.Represents the maximum number of PRSUs assuming all performance targets are achieved.
The expense recognized each period for the PRSUs is primarily dependent upon the Company’s estimate of the probability of achieving the performance targets during the performance period. At March 31, 2026, the
Company determined it was not probable any performance conditions would be achieved so no stock-based compensation was recorded for these PRSUs during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Options under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan have a contractual term of 10 years. The exercise price of an incentive stock option and non-qualified stock option shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant.

Certain employees received restricted stock unit equivalents (“RSU equivalents”) which upon vesting are settled for a cash payment equal to the difference between the Company’s stock price on the vesting date less the base price specified at the time of the grant. Due to the cash settlement feature, these awards are liability classified awards and require initial and subsequent measurement at fair value. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the total recognized liability for the unvested awards was not material and the number of awards was not material.
Class B Common Stock
The Company’s Class B common stock resulted from the corporate reorganization in March 2021 and is not part of the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. The remaining 6,153 Class B common stock vested during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In March 2021, the Company’s 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) became effective. Subject to any limitations contained therein, the ESPP allows eligible employees to contribute, through payroll deductions, up to 15% of their eligible compensation to purchase the Company’s Class A common stock at a discounted price per share. As of March 31, 2026, 10,602,602 shares of our Class A common stock were available for issuance under the ESPP. No offering period may have a duration exceeding 27 months. Eligible employees may elect to participate in the ESPP only during an open enrollment period. The offering period immediately follows the open enrollment window, at which time ESPP contributions are withheld from the participant's regular paycheck. The ESPP provides for a 15% discount on the market value of the stock at the lower of the enrollment date price (first day of the offering period) and the exercise date price (last day of the offering period).
The Company has authorized offering periods under the ESPP, which commenced on April 1, 2026. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, no shares were issued under the ESPP and no stock-based compensation expense was recorded. Payroll contributions accruing beginning April 1, 2026 will be used to issue shares at the end of the offering period ending on September 30, 2026.
