On September 21, 2020, the Company filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) became effective on such date. The terms of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws are the forms previously filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, to the Registration Statement, which exhibits are incorporated by reference herein. The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws restate the Company’s prior certificate of incorporation and bylaws to, among other things:

 

·Authorize three classes of common stock, Class A, Class B and Class C and convert all outstanding shares of common stock into Class A common stock (other than shares held by the Company’s founders, which were concurrently exchanged into shares of Class B common stock), which are entitled to one vote per share;

 

·Provide that the Class B common stock collectively be entitled to a number of votes that equal 51% of the total voting power of all shares of common stock and any preferred stock entitled to vote and permit a share of the Class B common stock to be convertible at any time into one share of Class A common stock, and require it to be converted into such shares of Class A common stock upon (i) any transfer of such shares, except for certain permitted transfers to entities controlled by the Company’s founders, (ii) on the first business day after the date on which the outstanding shares of Class B common stock constitutes less than 5% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock then outstanding, as determined by the board of directors, (iii) on the first business day after the date on which neither founder is serving as an executive officer, (iv) following seven years after the date the Certificate of Incorporation becomes effective, provided that such period may, to the extent permitted by law and applicable stock exchange rules, be extended for three years upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of Class A common stock entitled to vote thereon, voting separately as a class;

 

·Provide that the Class C common stock be entitled to one vote per share on all matters other than votes on directors and be convertible into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis at the option of the holder upon determination that a filing under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act (“HSR”) is not necessary prior to conversion of such shares or, if required, upon expiration or termination of the HSR waiting period;

 

·Require the approval of holders of at least 75% of the total combined voting power of the outstanding shares of common stock to amend the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws;

 

·Divide the Company’s board of directors into three classes serving staggered three-year terms; and

 

·Require that certain courts in the State of Delaware or the federal district courts of the United States be the exclusive forum for certain types of lawsuits.

 

The foregoing description of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws. Reference is also made to the Company’s prospectus filed under Rule 424 on September 18, 2020 for a more complete description of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.
