Risk Change Over Time
- Corporate Activity and Growth - Risk 1Our business could be affected by the recently signed Strategic Partnership Agreement. Agreement with KKR.
Our business could be affected by the Strategic Partnership Agreement with KKR. On January 29, 2025, we announced a strategic investment by funds affiliated with KKR & Co. Inc. ("KKR"), a leading global investment firm, and a Strategic Partnership Agreement (the "Partnership Agreement") with KKR. Under the Partnership Agreement, two independent directors, Max Lin and William K. "Dan" Daniel, joined our Board of Directors. On May16, 2025, we issued 3,285,151 shares of common stock to funds affiliated with KKR for an investment of $250 million, at approximately $76.10 per share. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, KKR also has the ability to purchase additional shares via open market purchases up to a total equity stake of 14.9% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. On November 4, 2025, the Company and KKR entered into an amendment to the Partnership Agreement that increased the beneficial ownership limit from 14.9% to19.9%of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock that KKR is permitted to acquire during the standstill period. The standstill provisions, including the increased ownership limit, continue in effect for a period of six months following the later of the expiration of the term of the Partnership Agreement and the date on which no KKR director appointed pursuant to the Partnership Agreement is serving on the Company's Board of Directors. On December 7, 2025, pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, KKR notified the Company of its election to exercise the Extension Election (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) whereby the Company's Board of Directors will renominate KKR's designees, Max Lin and William K. "Dan" Daniel, to stand for election at the Company's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders for a term expiring at the Company's 2027 annual meeting of stockholders. The Partnership Agreement may have unintended consequences, such as uncertainty about our management, operations, or future strategic direction, which could result in the loss of future business opportunities or negatively impact our ability to attract and retain qualified talent. KKR also invests in many different types of businesses, and has or may continue to invest in customers, suppliers, joint venture partners, or other entities that have relationships with the Company, or in competitors of such entities, which may create unintended conflicts resulting in a loss of business.

third parties from seeking to acquire us that might otherwise result in our stockholders receiving a premium
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2over the market price of their shares.
over the market price of their shares. The provisions of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws may make it more difficult for a third-party to acquire us, may discourage acquisition bids and may impact the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. These provisions, among other things require (i) the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 60% of the shares of common stock entitled to vote to approve a merger, consolidation, or a sale, lease, transfer or exchange of all or substantially all of our assets; and (ii) the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of our common stock entitled to vote to (a) remove a director; and (b) to amend or repeal our by-laws, with certain limited exceptions. In addition, certain of our employee incentive plans provide for accelerated vesting of equity awards upon termination without cause within two years following a change in control, or grant the plan committee discretion to accelerate awards upon a change of control. Further, certain agreements between us and our executive officers provide for increased severance payments and certain benefits if those executive officers are terminated without cause by us or if they terminate for good reason, in each case within two years following a change in control or within ninety days prior to the effective date of the change in control or after the first public announcement of the pendency of the change in control.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3Our business could be affected by activist investors.
Our business could be affected by activist investors. We actively engage in discussions with our stockholders. In other cases, stockholders can engage in certain divisive activist tactics, which can take many forms (including potential proxy contests). Some stockholder activism has resulted in, and could in the future result in, substantial costs, such as professional fees, and the diversion of management's and our Board of Directors' attention and resources from our business and strategic plans. Additionally, it could cause uncertainty about our management, operations or future strategic direction,which could result in the loss of future business opportunities or negatively impact our ability to attract and retain qualified talent. Activists or other stockholders holding a large portion of our outstanding shares could also exert influence on actions requiring a stockholder vote, including the election of directors and the approval of certain extraordinary business transactions. These risks could cause volatility in the trading price of our common stock based on factors other than the fundamentals of our business.
