EXPLANATORY NOTE

2017 Equity Incentive Plan

The 2017 Plan provides that the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2017 Plan will automatically increase on January 1st of each calendar year, from January 1, 2018 to January 1, 2027, in an amount equal to 5% of the total number of shares of the Registrant’s capital stock outstanding on the last day of the preceding year, or a lesser number of shares determined by the Registrant’s Board of Directors. Accordingly, on January 1, 2021, the number of shares of Class A common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of incentive stock options under the 2017 Plan increased by an additional 6,400,207 shares (or 5% of the outstanding shares of the Registrant’s capital stock as of December 31, 2020). In addition, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2017 Plan will be increased by the total number of shares subject to options or other equity awards that expired or terminated under the 2008 Plan. As a result, the shares reserved under the 2017 Plan increased by an additional 59,135 shares.

These additional shares of Class A common stock are securities of the same class as other securities for which the Registration Statements on Forms S-8 (File No. 333-220701, File No. 333-223379, File No. 333-230039 and File No. 333-236830 (“Prior Forms S-8”) were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) on September 28, 2017, March 1, 2018, March 1, 2019 and March 2, 2020 respectively.
