Reverse Stock Split On June 18, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved a reverse stock split of its Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class C common stock (collectively, the "common stock") at a ratio ranging from 1-for-10 to 1-for-20, with the exact ratio determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. On June 28, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors approved a 1-for-20 reverse stock split (Reverse Split) of its common stock that became effective on July 10, 2024. The Reverse Stock Split did not change the Company's authorized number of shares of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split did not change the par value of the common stock and, therefore the Company reclassified an amount equal to the reduction in the number of shares of common stock at par value to additional paid-in capital. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Split, and stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share instead received a cash payment equal to the fraction of a share of common stock in lieu of such fractional share. Proportionate adjustments were made to the number of shares authorized under the Company’s equity incentive plans, the number of shares subject to any award or purchase right under the Company’s equity incentive plans, and the exercise price or purchase price with respect to any stock option award or purchase right under the Company’s equity incentive plans, see Note 8. All shares of the Company’s common stock, stock-based instruments and per-share data included in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted as though the Reverse Stock Split has been effected prior to all periods presented.
