Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 6 and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. The number of shares of Common Stock in this Amendment No. 6 has been adjusted for the 1-for-15 reverse stock split of the Company's Common Stock effective November 20, 2024. As a result of such reverse stock split, the CUSIP no. for the Class A Common Stock was changed from 550424 105 to 550424 303.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by inserting the following text at the end thereof. On December 23, 2024, the Reporting Person gifted 306,453 shares of Class A Common Stock to City National Bank, a national banking association, Trustee of the AKR Luminar Holdings Family Trust GRAT A ('Trust A') and 1,600,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to BMO Bank, N.A., Trustee of the AKR Luminar Holdings Family Trust GRAT B ('Trust B' and together with Trust A, the 'Trusts'). The 1,600,000 shares of Class A Common Stock were converted from 1,600,000 shares of Class B Common Stock as a result of the Reporting Person's election to convert such shares of Class B Common Stock. The Reporting Person is the sole annuitant of both Trusts. The Reporting Person is not the trustee of the Trusts. Each trustee has sole voting and investment power over shares of Class A Common Stock held by its Trust. The beneficiaries are members of the Reporting Person's family.
