Frequently Asked Questions
An 'emerging growth company' (EGC) is a status granted by the JOBS Act, allowing companies to take advantage of exemptions from certain public company reporting requirements. For CrowdStrike, this means reduced disclosures regarding executive compensation and exemptions from auditor attestation requirements for internal controls (Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley). This can make it harder to compare CrowdStrike's financial and governance disclosures directly with companies that are not EGCs.
The company has authorized a substantial number of shares (up to 2 billion Class A, 300 million Class B, and 100 million preferred shares). The issuance of additional stock for financings, acquisitions, investments, or stock incentive plans could significantly dilute existing stockholders' ownership and potentially decrease the market price of Class A common stock.
CrowdStrike has a dual-class common stock structure. This means that holders of Class B common stock possess significantly more voting power relative to their economic ownership compared to Class A common stock holders. Consequently, Class B shareholders can heavily influence the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval, even if they own a minority of the total outstanding shares.
