Table of Contents See the sections titled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Governance Structure,” “Our Governance Structure and Its Goals,” “Management,” “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions,” and “Description of Capital Stock” for more information. Controlled Company Status We are considered a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Global Select Market corporate governance requirements because the LTBT, as the sole holder of our Class T common stock, generally has the power to elect a majority of the authorized members of our board of directors. As such, we are permitted to opt out of compliance with certain Nasdaq Global Select Market corporate governance requirements. Accordingly, if we elect not to comply with certain requirements, you will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq Global Select Market corporate governance requirements. Although we qualify as a “controlled company,” we do not expect to rely on this exemption except with respect to our nominating and corporate governance committee (“NGC”), which will not consist entirely of independent directors. Our board of directors currently consists of a majority of independent directors and our audit and compensation committees currently consist entirely of independent directors. See the sections titled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Governance Structure—We are considered a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Global Select Market corporate governance requirements, and, as a result, we qualify for, and currently rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements,” “Our Governance Structure and Its Goals,” “Management,” and “Description of Capital Stock” for additional information. 14
