Table of Contents Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws Provisions Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws, which will become effective immediately prior to the completion of this offering, will include a number of provisions that could deter hostile takeovers or delay or prevent changes in control of our board of directors or management team, including but not limited to the following: Multi-Class Common Stock As described above in the section titled “—Common Stock—Voting Rights,” our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for a multi-class common stock structure. Under this governance structure, we expect that the LTBT and the Founder LLC will collectively have the ability to elect all members of our board of directors, and the Founder LLC will have the ability to determine the outcome of all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders generally for the foreseeable future, including the approval by our stockholders of significant corporate transactions such as a merger or other sale of our company or its assets. Such transactions also require approval of our board of directors, a majority of whom are elected by the LTBT. Holders of our Class A common stock generally will not be able to affect the outcome of any matter submitted to a vote of our stockholders or the election of our directors, regardless of how they vote, unless a majority of the Continuing Founders cannot agree on how our Class F common stock will be voted (in which case our Class F common stock will generally be voted proportionately with the votes of our Class A common stock cast on the matter). Classified Board Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation that will become effective immediately prior to the completion of this offering will provide that prior to the Class F Sunset Time, we will not have a classified board of directors, and all directors will be elected for annual terms. Each director’s term will continue until the next annual meeting and until the election and qualification of his or her successor, or his or her earlier death, resignation, or removal. Following the Class F Sunset Time, our board of directors will shift to having a classified board of directors consisting of three classes of approximately equal size, each serving staggered three-year terms. At such time, our directors would be assigned by the then-current board of directors to a class. If our Class T common stock remains outstanding, the Class T directors and the remaining directors shall be allocated among the classes so that each class includes a proportionate number of Class T directors and other directors. Upon expiration of the term of a class of directors, directors for that class would each be elected for a three-year term at the annual meeting of stockholders in the year in which that term expires. As a result, only one class of directors would be elected at each annual meeting of our stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms. Each director’s term would continue until the third annual meeting of stockholders following their election and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, or removal. Any increase or decrease in the number of directors would be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as practicable, each class would consist of one-third of our directors. Board Vacancies Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws will provide that (i) prior to the Class T Sunset Time, only the holder of our Class T common stock can fill vacant directorships of any Class T director, subject to the nomination procedures for the Specified Class T Director; and (ii) prior to the Class F Sunset Time, vacant or newly created directorships for any directors other than our Class T directors can be filled by (a) our board of directors, in accordance with, and following receipt of written notice from, the Founder LLC recommending the person proposed to fill such director seat or (b) the holders of our Class A common stock and Class F common stock, voting together or acting by written consent. Following the Class F Sunset Time, only our board of directors will be permitted to fill vacant or newly created directorships for any directors other than our Class T directors. Prior to the Class T Sunset Time, the number of directors constituting our board of directors will be permitted to be set only with the approval of 80% of authorized members of our board of directors (rounded up or down to the nearest whole number (any exact 0.5 rounding up)); provided that until the earlier to occur of the Class F Sunset Time or the Class T Sunset Time, such total number of authorized directors must be an odd number. Following the Class T Sunset Time, the number of 302
