Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the following: On November 26, 2025, BX Buzz ML-1 Holdco L.P., BX Buzz ML-2 Holdco L.P., BX Buzz ML-3 Holdco L.P., BX Buzz ML-4 Holdco L.P., BX Buzz ML-5 Holdco L.P., BX Buzz ML-6 Holdco L.P. and BX Buzz ML-7 Holdco L.P. (each a "Stockholder") entered into averaging share forward transactions (the "Forward Transactions") with UBS AG, London Branch (the "Dealer") with respect to all of the 37,387,500 shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Stockholders in the aggregate pursuant to separate master confirmations (the "Master Confirmations") and related supplemental confirmations (each Master Confirmation, together with the related supplemental confirmation thereunder, a "Confirmation") between each Stockholder and Dealer. The Confirmations provide for the Stockholders to sell and deliver up to a specified number of shares of Class A Common Stock to the Dealer at a price determined at the end of the calculation period based on the volume weighted average price of transactions in the Class A Common Stock in the United States, weighted and adjusted as provided in the Confirmations. The number of shares to be delivered by a Stockholder under its respective Forward Transaction will be based on the Dealer's hedging sales over the calculation period. The Dealer's hedging sales will be subject to certain price and volume parameters. Each Stockholder will settle a portion of its respective Forward Transaction on a quarterly basis by delivery of shares promptly following the end of each quarterly calculation period. The maturity date for the Forward Transactions is scheduled to occur in the first half of 2027, subject to an early termination right of each Stockholder. The maximum number of shares that could be delivered under any Forward Transaction in any quarterly period will be limited to the lesser of (i) 7,477,500 shares and (ii) the number of shares that could be sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The shares to be delivered pursuant to the Forward Transactions are currently pledged in respect of the previously disclosed Margin Loan Facility. At the beginning of each quarterly period, the Stockholders will pledge the shares expected to be sold under the Forward Transactions during such quarterly period to Dealer. Pursuant to the terms of the Confirmations, prior to the start of the first quarterly period on December 29, 2025, the Stockholders will enter into an amendment to the Margin Loan Agreement and a pledge and control agreement to pledge such shares to the Dealer to secure its obligations under the Forward Transactions, along with certain other documentation. Each Stockholder will retain voting rights in the pledged shares during the term of the pledge agreement. The foregoing description of the Forward Transactions set forth in this Item 4 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Form of Master Confirmation which has been filed as Exhibit M hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
