2/24/2018 S-1 Table of Contents Performance Vesting Condition occurring before these two­tier RSUs expire. The service­based vesting condition generally is satisfied over a four­year period. 25% of the two­tier RSUs service­based vesting condition is satisfied upon completion of one year of service measured from the vesting commencement date, and the balance generally vests in successive equal monthly installments prior to the occurrence of the Performance Vesting Condition and in successive equal quarterly installments after the occurrence of the Performance Vesting Condition, but, in all cases, subject to continued service through each applicable vesting date. The Performance Vesting Condition occurs on the earlier of (i) an acquisition or change in control of us or (ii) the earlier of (a) six months after our initial public offering or (b) March 15 of the year following our initial public offering. As a result of the September 2017 RSU Amendment, all RSUs were amended to provide that the quarterly dates for satisfying the service­based vesting condition shall be February 15, May 15, August 15, or November 15, each of which we refer to as a New Quarterly Date. This amendment will result in a partial acceleration of any RSUs that were scheduled to satisfy the service­based vesting condition on a date following a New Quarterly Date but before the next New Quarterly Date, such that these RSUs now will satisfy the service­based vesting condition on the first of those New Quarterly Dates. For one­tier RSUs, this amendment will be effective as of February 15, 2018, and for two­tier RSUs, this amendment will be effective as of the satisfaction of the Performance Vesting Condition. In addition, as a result of the September 2017 RSU Amendment, any two­tier RSUs that are scheduled to satisfy the service­based vesting condition on the first day of any month now will satisfy this condition on the 15th day of the prior month until the date that the Performance Vesting Condition is satisfied. Our Board of Directors has approved the acceleration of the Performance Vesting Condition associated with the two­tier RSUs to occur upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. All other significant terms of the two­tier RSUs will remain unchanged. Registration Rights After the completion of this offering, certain holders of our Class B common stock will be entitled to rights with respect to the registration of their shares under the Securities Act. These registration rights are contained in our IRA. We and certain holders of our preferred stock are parties to the IRA. Immediately prior to the completion of this offering, each share of outstanding preferred stock will convert automatically into one share of Class B common stock. The registration rights set forth in the IRA will expire five years following the completion of this offering, or, with respect to any particular stockholder, when such stockholder is able to sell all of its shares on any one day pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act or a similar exemption. We will pay the registration expenses (other than underwriting discounts, selling commissions, and transfer taxes) of the holders of the shares registered pursuant to the registrations described below. In an underwritten offering, the managing underwriter, if any, has the right, subject to specified conditions, to limit the number of shares such holders may include. We expect that our stockholders will waive their rights under the IRA (i) to notice of this offering and (ii) to include their registrable shares in this offering. In addition, in connection with this offering, we expect that each stockholder that has registration rights will agree not to sell or otherwise dispose of any securities without the prior written consent of the company and the underwriters for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus, subject to certain terms and conditions and early release of certain holders in specified circumstances. See the section titled “Shares Eligible for Future Sale—Lock­Up and Market Standoff Agreements” for additional information regarding such restrictions. Demand Registration Rights After the completion of this offering, the holders of up to 220,965,979 shares of our Class B common stock and 387,934 shares of our Class A common stock will be entitled to certain demand registration rights. At any time beginning six months after the effective date of this offering, the holders of at least 40% of these shares then outstanding can request that we register the offer and sale of their shares, or such request must cover securities in which the anticipated aggregate public offering price, before payment of underwriting discounts and commissions, is at least $10,000,000. We are obligated to effect only two such registrations. If we determine that it would be seriously detrimental to us and our stockholders to effect such a demand registration, we have the right to defer such registration, not more than once in any 12­month period, for a period of up to 120 days. 161 https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1467623/000119312518055809/d451946ds1.htm 169/235
