Exhibit A

The 10-for-1 forward stock split was effected by means of (i) a stock dividend of nine (9) shares of class A common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Issuer (the “Class A Common Stock”) on and in respect of each of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Class A Stock Dividend”) as of August 1, 2024 (the “Record Date”) and (ii) a stock dividend of nine (9) shares of class B common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Issuer (the “Class B Common Stock”) on and in respect of each of the issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock (the “Class B Stock Dividend” and, together with the Class A Stock Dividend, the “Stock Dividend”) as of the Record Date.
