03—Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the impact of the stock split on my existing shares?
Following the two-for-one stock split, for every share of Class A Common Stock you held, you now hold two shares. The total value of your investment should remain proportionally the same immediately after the split, assuming no market fluctuations.
How does the stock split affect the dividend payment?
The quarterly dividend amount per share has been reduced to $0.125 to account for the doubling of the outstanding shares. This means that while the dividend per share is lower, the total dividend payout for shareholders holding the same number of equivalent pre-split shares should remain consistent.
When will the new dividend amount be reflected in my account?
The adjusted dividend of $0.125 per share will be paid on October 14, 2026, to shareholders who were on record as of September 22, 2026.
Is this filing a major financial update or a strategic announcement?
This filing is primarily an administrative disclosure to inform investors about the completion of the stock split and the subsequent adjustment to the dividend. It does not contain new financial results or significant strategic operational changes beyond these corporate actions.
