Additional 402(v) Disclosure

As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid and certain measures of financial performance of the Company. For further information concerning the Company’s variable pay-for-performance philosophy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with the Company’s performance, refer to “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

Total shareholder return (TSR) is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between the Company’s share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period. No dividends have been declared on our Class A common stock to date. The measurement period for 2021, 2022, and 2023 TSR commenced on September 15, 2021, the date our stock commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange in connection with our IPO.The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income (loss) reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year.

Adjusted EBITDA

Non-GAAP Measure Description

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization expense, excluding equity-based compensation, expenses and donations associated with equity offerings, COVID-19: “Thank You” pay and catastrophic leave expenses, COVID-19: prepaid costs not utilized, costs incurred for company-wide milestone events, executives transition costs, and (gain) loss on the remeasurement of the liability related to the Tax Receivable Agreements. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a discussion and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP measure, see section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2023 Annual Report. The Company has determined that Adjusted EBITDA is the financial performance measure that, in the Company’s assessment, represents the most important financial performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to the Company’s named executive officers, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to Company performance.
