Table of Contents directors constituting our board of directors will be permitted to be set with the approval of a majority of the authorized members of our board of directors. These provisions would prevent a stockholder from increasing the size of our board of directors and then gaining control of our board of directors by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees. This will make it more difficult to change the composition of our board of directors. Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations Our amended and restated bylaws will provide advance notice procedures for stockholders, other than holders of Class T common stock or Class F common stock nominating directors in accordance with nomination procedures in our certificate of incorporation or the Stockholders’ Agreement, seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at a meeting of stockholders. Our amended and restated bylaws will also specify certain requirements regarding the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions might preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at a meeting of stockholders if the proper procedures are not followed. In addition, our NGC will also have the right to receive 30 days’ prior written notice of any nomination of persons to serve as a director by the LTBT or the Founder LLC or the proposed removal of such directors, as well as appointments and removals of the Trustees of the LTBT. Our NGC may waive such notice periods in its discretion. We expect that these provisions may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company. Special Meetings of Stockholders Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws will provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by (i) our board of directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the authorized members of our board of directors; (ii) the chairperson of our board of directors; (iii) our Chief Executive Officer; (iv) our President; (v) following the Class F Sunset Time, a majority of the directors who are not Class T directors; (vi) prior to the Class F Sunset Time and only with respect to a special meeting at which holders of our Class E common stock will be asked to vote on a proposal, the secretary of the company; or (vii) prior to the Class F Sunset Time, the Founder LLC as the holder of our Class F common stock. No Cumulative Voting The DGCL provides that stockholders are not entitled to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting. Action by Written Consent Prior to the Class F Sunset Time and the Class T Sunset Time, stockholders may act by written consent only with respect to (i) any action to nominate, elect, or remove directors or appoint a director to fill any vacancy or newly created directorship; (ii) any action to satisfy certain redemption and protective provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation related to our Class F common stock, Class T common stock, and Class E common stock; and (iii) any matter in which stockholders vote together as a single class if such matter is first approved or requested by our board of directors. From and after the Class T Sunset Time, only the holder of the share of Class F common stock may act by written consent, and from and after the Class F Sunset Time, only the holder of the share of Class T common stock may act by written consent, in each case, only with respect to the actions described above. From and after the occurrence of both the Class F Sunset Time and the Class T Sunset Time, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of Class E common stock must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders. 303
