On April 15, 2022, Mr. Malcarney's RSUs granted on April 15, 2021 became eligible for continued vesting pursuant to the award agreement in the event Mr. Malcarney retires. Mr. Malcarney elected to satisfy his tax obligation upon the exchange of common stock for RSUs having a value on the date of the exchange equal to the withholding obligation associated with his eligibility for continued vesting of outstanding RSUs. This form reflects the surrender of 147 shares of Class C Common Stock to satisfy the grantee's tax withholding obligation. |
