Ms. Lopker has no ongoing voting or dispositive power over the Gifted Shares donated to Fidelity, and no other Reporting Person has any authority to vote or dispose of the Gifted Shares donated to Fidelity. Therefore, none of the filers of this Amendment No. 5 beneficially owns any of such Gifted Shares donated to Fidelity within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Act and such shares are not included in this Amendment No. 5.
In connection with the charitable donation, on October 19, 2021 Fidelity executed a joinder (the Joinder) to the support agreement originally entered into by Issuer, Project Quick Parent, LLC (Parent), Ms. Lopker, The Lopker Living Trust, and the Estate (the Support Agreement). Pursuant to the Joinder, Fidelity agrees to vote and take, and refrain from taking, certain actions with respect to the Gifted Shares on the terms set forth in the Support Agreement, as if it were an original party thereto.
The foregoing description of the Support Agreement and the Joinder is only a summary, and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full texts of the Support Agreement and the Joinder, which are filed as Exhibits B and C respectively hereto, and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
