Each share of Class B Common Stock will automatically be converted into one (1) share of Class A Common Stock at any time and will convert automatically upon certain transfers and upon the earlier of (i) 10 years from the date of the Prospectus, (ii) the death or disability, as defined in our restated certificate of incorporation, of Sytse Sijbrandij, (iii) the first date following the completion of the initial public offering on which the number of shares of outstanding Class B Common Stock (including shares of Class B Common Stock subject to outstanding stock options) is less than 5% of the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock then outstanding and (iv) the date specified by a vote of the holders of two-thirds of the then outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock.

(2) Each share of Class A Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the Issuer’s stockholders, and each share of Class B Common Stock entitles the holder to 10 votes on each matter, including the election of the directors of the Issuer. The information shown in the table with respect to the percentage of voting power is based on 11,550,784 shares of Class A Common Stock and 131,464,037 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding after the Issuer’s initial public offering, as reported in the Prospectus.

Each of TCV X, TCV X (A), TCV X (B) and Member Fund X (collectively, the “TCV Entities”) has the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock that it holds directly and has the sole power to vote or direct the vote of such shares.

Management X, as the ultimate general partner of the TCV Entities, may be deemed to have the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of the shares held by the TCV Entities and have the sole power to direct the vote of such shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. TCM X, as the direct general partner of TCV X, TCV X (A) and TCV X (B) (collectively, the “TCV X Funds”), may also be deemed to have sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock held by the TCV X Funds and have the sole power to direct the vote of such shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. Each of Management X and TCM X disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock owned by the TCV Entities, except to the extent of their respective pecuniary interest therein.
