This Amendment No. 4 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on May 11, 2026 (the "Original Schedule 13D" and, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 to the Original Schedule 13D filed on June 1, 2026 ("Amendment No. 1"), Amendment No. 2 to the Original Schedule 13D filed on August 26, 2026 ("Amendment No. 2"), Amendment No. 3 to the Original Schedule 13D filed on October 13, 2026 ("Amendment No. 3") and this Amendment, the "Schedule 13D"). This Amendment is being filed to reflect the updated percentage of class of securities information of the Reporting Persons as a result of the Issuer's ongoing issuance of additional shares of Class A Common Stock by the Issuer pursuant to the Issuer's at-the-market equity offering program.
