This filing confirms the completion of the IPO corporate structure. The lock-up provisions and redemption rights will govern future share supply. Monitor the lock-up expiration schedule (2nd, 3rd, and 4th anniversaries) for potential selling pressure. The Tax Receivable Agreement creates a future cash obligation that will reduce the company's effective tax rate but also its net cash flow.
