Explanatory Note This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends, in its entirety, the Schedule 13G filed on February 15, 2019 by Diana Medina de Marturet. On November 18, 2021, the issuer completed a clean-up merger (the “Merger”) under which the shares of the Issuer’s Class B common stock were automatically converted into the Issuer’s shares of Class A voting common stock, provided, however, that if any Person, together with its Affiliates (as such terms were defined in the merger agreement), would own, of record or as a beneficial owner, more than 8.9% of the outstanding shares of Class A voting common stock following the Merger (the “Cap”), such Person’s shares of Class A voting common stock were to be converted into shares of Class A non-voting common stock, solely with respect to holdings that would be in excess of the Cap. This Amendment reflects the effect of the Merger on the number of shares beneficially owned by the reporting person. The shares of Class A non-voting common stock are convertible into one (1) share of Class A voting common stock: (i) at any time or from time to time, provided that upon such conversion the holder, together with all Affiliates of the holder, will not own or control in the aggregate more than the Cap; or (ii) automatically on the date a holder of Class A non-voting common stock transfers any shares of Class A non-voting common stock to a non-Affiliate of the holder in a Permissible Transfer, as that term is defined in the Issuer’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. | |||||||||||
