Monitor the Company Ordinary Share VWAP relative to the $12.00, $15.00, and $18.00 lock-up release thresholds starting 90 days post-Closing. The first 50% lock-up release at $12.00 could create near-term selling pressure. Also track whether the $15.00 and $18.00 Class B conversion thresholds are met within the 5-year Measurement Period, as conversion would increase the public float.
