If the filing person has previously filed a statement on Schedule 13G to report the acquisition that is the subject of this Schedule 13D, and is filing this Schedule because of Rule 13d-1(e), 13d-1(f) or 13d-1(g), check the following box.  ☐

The information required on the remainder of this cover page shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of the Act but shall be subject to all other provisions of the Act (however, see the Notes).

The Reporting Person (as defined in this Schedule 13D) is party to certain agreements with the Separately Filing Group Members (as defined in the Schedule 13D), which agreements contain, among other things, certain voting agreements and limitations on the sale of their shares of Common Stock. As a result, the Reporting Person may be deemed to be a member of a “group,” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act (as defined in the Schedule 13D), comprised of the Reporting Person and the Separately Filing Group Members. Shares listed as beneficially owned by the Reporting Person exclude shares held by any other Reporting Person or by any of the Separately Filing Group Members, in each case as to which the Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership.

All references to the number of shares outstanding are as of October 27, 2023, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 2, 2023, as adjusted to account for the conversion of an aggregate of 160,626 shares of Class B Common Stock into 160,626 shares of Class A Common Stock by the Reporting Person from October 17, 2023 through November 14, 2023 (the “Conversion”). The percentage is calculated using the total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person and based on 103,138,939 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 27, 2023. With respect to matters upon which the Issuer’s stockholders are entitled to vote, the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class, and each holder of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share and each holder of Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes per share. The shares of Class B Common Stock owned by the Reporting Persons represent 4.9% of the total voting power of the Common Stock as of October 27, 2023, as adjusted for the Conversion. The percentage of total voting power of the Common Stock is calculated based on the total voting power of the Common Stock outstanding as of October 27, 2023, as adjusted for the Conversion, which is comprised of 44,381,816 shares of Class A Common Stock and 58,757,123 shares of Class B Common Stock and assumes that no outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock have been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock other than in the Conversion.

The shares of Class B Common Stock owned by the Reporting Persons represent 2.6% of the total voting power of the Common Stock as of October 27, 2023, as adjusted for the Conversion. The percentage of total voting power of the Common Stock is calculated based on the total voting power of the Common Stock outstanding as of October 27, 2023, as adjusted for the Conversion, which is comprised of 44,381,816 shares of Class A Common Stock and 58,757,123 shares of Class B Common Stock and assumes that no outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock have been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock other than in the Conversion.
