Future sales of shares of Class A common stock, or the perception in the public market that such
sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock. Our stockholders could be diluted by such future sales and be further diluted upon the conversion of Class B common stock into Class A common stock.
Future sales of our shares could adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock. If our existing stockholders sell a large
number of shares, or if we issue a large number of shares of our common stock in connection with future acquisitions, strategic alliances, third-party investments and private placements or otherwise, the market price of our Class A common stock
could decline significantly. Moreover, the perception in the public market that these stockholders might sell shares could depress the market price of our Class A common stock. In the aggregate, as of August 4, 2023, our Founder
beneficially owns 45,078,259 shares of our Class B common stock, and the Founder Family Trusts, in the aggregate, beneficially own 42,037,341 shares of Class B common stock, representing all of the outstanding shares of Class B common
stock. The shares of Class B common stock beneficially owned by our Founder represent approximately 48.77% of our total voting power. The shares of Class B common stock beneficially owned by the Founder Family Trusts represent, in the
aggregate, approximately 45.48% of our total voting power. Furthermore, after the consummation of this offering, two Freeman Spogli affiliated entities, FS Equity Partners VI, L.P. and FS Affiliates VI, L.P. will own 17,769,371 and 754,831 shares of
Class A common stock, respectively (or 16,042,718 and 681,484 shares of Class A common stock, respectively, if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of Class A common stock in full).
Any potential sale, disposition or distribution of our common stock or the perception that such sale, disposition or distribution could occur, could adversely
affect prevailing market prices of our Class A common stock.
As a public reporting company, we are subject to the Nasdaq rules and the rules
and regulations established from time to time by the SEC regarding our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, we may
not be able to accurately report our financial results, or report them in a timely manner.
As a public reporting company, we are subject to the
Nasdaq rules and the rules and regulations established from time to time by the SEC. These rules and regulations require, among other things, that we establish and periodically evaluate procedures with respect to our internal control over financial
reporting. Reporting obligations as a public company place a considerable strain on our financial and management systems, processes and controls, as well as on our personnel.
In addition, as a public company we are required to document and test our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act so that our management can evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Likewise, once we are no longer an emerging growth company, our independent registered public accounting firm will be required
to provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in future periods. If our management is unable to certify the effectiveness of our internal control or if our independent registered public
accounting firm cannot deliver a report attesting to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting when required, or if we identify or fail to remediate any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal
controls, we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny and a loss of public confidence, which could seriously harm our reputation, and the price per share of our Class A common stock could decline.
We have and expect to continue to incur costs related to implementing an internal audit and compliance function in the upcoming years to further improve our
internal control environment. If we identify future deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting or if we are unable to comply with the demands that are placed upon us as a public company, including the requirements of
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, in a timely manner, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results, or report them within the timeframes required by the SEC. We also could become subject to sanctions or investigations by the
SEC or other regulatory
