reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar

outstanding shares of the Registrant&#x2019;s Class A Common Stock. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt;&lt;table style="font-size: 12pt; border-spacing: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;"&gt;

For the purpose of computing the registration fee, the Registrant has used $52.865 as the average of the high and low prices of the Common Stock as reported on May 1, 2026 on the NASDAQ Global Market SM for the offering price per share, in accordance with Rules 457(c) and (h) under the Securities Act.  The actual offering price will be determined in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
