Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to incorporate the following at the end thereof:
Prepaid Variable Share Forward Transaction
On September 29, 2026, Springtide Creek Ltd ("Springtide"), a British Virgin Islands company wholly owned and controlled by the Reporting Person, entered into a prepaid variable share forward transaction (the "VPF") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (the "Bank") covering 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Forward Shares"), pursuant to a master confirmation entered into between Springtide and the Bank (the "Master Confirmation"). Pursuant to the VPF, Springtide will receive an upfront cash payment (the "Prepayment Amount") equal to $58,326,600.00. The Prepayment Amount represents approximately 41.93% of the current market value of the underlying shares on the execution date, and represents the value of the underlying shares at the VPF's Floor Price of $40.00 per share of Common Stock, as discounted 6.85% for the time value of money over the term of the agreement. The Master Confirmation also establishes a Cap Price of $221.00 per share of Common Stock. Springtide pledged the Forward Shares to secure its obligations under the contract and retains ownership and voting rights in the Forward Shares during the term of the pledge.
At the maturity of the VPF on May 17, 2027, the contract will be settled by the delivery of a variable number of shares of Common Stock (or, at Springtide's election, an equivalent amount of cash) based on the volume-weighted average price of the Issuer's Common Stock over a three-day valuation period commencing on May 13, 2027 (the "Settlement Price"), as follows: (i) if the Settlement Price is less than or equal to the Floor Price, Springtide will deliver all 1,500,000 shares; (ii) if the Settlement Price is greater than the Floor Price but less than or equal to the Cap Price, Springtide will deliver a number of shares equal to the 1,500,000 shares multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Floor Price and the denominator of which is the Settlement Price; and (iii) if the Settlement Price is greater than the Cap Price, Springtide will deliver a number of shares equal to the 1,500,000 shares multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Floor Price plus the excess of the Settlement Price over the Cap Price, and the denominator of which is the Settlement Price.
The foregoing description of the VPF does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Master Confirmation, which is attached as Exhibit 99.4 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. | ||
