Details of Recent Transactions
The selling activity observed on June 2, 2026, included several distinct transactions. Specifically, Mr. Aoki sold 200,000 shares and another 100,000 shares of Class A Common Stock through separate open market trades. Furthermore, a smaller transaction involved the sale of 562 shares of Class A Common Stock on the same date, which was executed to cover withholding taxes associated with the vesting of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs).
These larger sales were also connected to the conversion of ADK Class A Units into Class A Common Stock. Prior to these divestments, Mr. Aoki had acquired 1,541 shares of Class A Common Stock on June 1, 2026. These shares resulted from the vesting of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), which function as a contingent right to receive one share of Class A common stock and were fully vested upon grant. The receipt of these shares was structured in lieu of a percentage of his cash salary as part of a voluntary equity compensation program.
The conversion process involved the exchange of ADK Class A Units for an equivalent number of Class A Common Stock shares. These units have the flexibility to be exchanged either for an equal quantity of Class A Common Stock or, at the company’s discretion, for cash equivalent to the fair market value of such shares. Upon executing this conversion, an equivalent number of Class V Common Stock shares are canceled.
As a result of these transactions, Mr. Aoki's direct holdings now stand at 107,148 shares of Class A Common Stock and 2,489,362 shares of Class V Common Stock.
