Item 8.01 Other Information.
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
The following table sets forth beneficial ownership of Pubco Class A Common Stock and Pubco Class B Common Stock by:
| ● | each person who is known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock or Pubco Class B Common Stock; |
| ● | each of Pubco’s current named executive officers and directors; and |
| ● | all executive officers and directors of Pubco, as a group. |
The information below is based on an aggregate of 8,582,647 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock and 127,596,617 shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding as of November 13, 2023. Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she, or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. In the table below, shares issuable upon the exercise of Pubco Warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of November 13, 2023 are considered outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding such Pubco Warrants for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Accordingly, percentages presented in the table may not sum to 100%.
Voting power represents the combined voting power of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock and Pubco Class B Common Stock owned beneficially by such person. On all matters to be voted upon, holders of Pubco Class A Common Stock and Pubco Class B Common Stock will be entitled to cast one vote per share of on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Generally, holders of all classes of Pubco common stock vote together as a single class.
Unless otherwise indicated, Pubco believes that all persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of voting shares beneficially owned by them.
