Current report
In June 2026, we commenced certain restructuring actions designed to realign resources as part of our transition to an AI-native business. Our restructuring activities, including any related charges and the impact of the related headcount restructurings, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Current report
As a result of restructuring actions, we expect to incur additional charges in the near term, including employee transition costs, severance payments, and employee benefits. The restructuring actions may also result in employee attrition beyond our intended workforce reduction, decreased employee morale, diversion of management attention from ongoing business operations, adverse effects to our reputation as an employer that could make it more difficult to hire and retain qualified employees, and delays in achieving our operational, strategic, or growth objectives due to the loss of experienced personnel. If we do not realize the expected benefits of our restructuring efforts on a timely basis or at all, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Current report
In June 2026, we approved a restructuring plan, which impacted approximately 5% of our workforce. This reduction may adversely impact our ability to achieve our future operational targets. In the future, we may be unable to hire qualified employees and may be unable to successfully train those employees that we are able to hire, and as a result, employees may not become fully productive on the timelines that we have projected or at all. Further, the reduction could yield unanticipated consequences or disruptions in our day-to-day operations, such as attrition beyond planned staff reductions.
Current report
We have also begun using AI-based tools as part of our internal development processes to help identify potential vulnerabilities in our own code and in third-party components we incorporate into our platform. These tools may surface a greater volume of issues requiring remediation than we have historically experienced, and the engineering resources required to address them may divert time and attention from new product development, and any failure to timely remediate a significant vulnerability identified through these tools could itself result in a security incident.
Current report
In addition, as AI capabilities continue to advance, customers, investors, and industry commentators may increasingly question whether functions historically requiring dedicated security, networking, or analytics products will become automated, commoditized or substantially provided by general-purpose AI tools or platforms. Perceptions of this kind, whether or not they accurately reflect the actual capabilities of AI technologies or the differentiated value of our platform, could influence customer purchasing decisions, competitive dynamics in our industry, or the trading price of our Class A common stock, independent of any actual change in our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Previous wording
We have experienced net losses in each period since inception. We generated net losses of $116.5 million and $79.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of April 30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $2.7 billion. While we have experienced rapid revenue growth in recent periods, we are not certain whether or when we will obtain a high enough volume of sales to achieve or maintain profitability in the future. We expect our operating expenses will increase over time as we continue to invest meaningfully in expanding our sales force, increasing our marketing efforts, expanding into new markets and further developing our technology architecture and platform, and as we incur additional expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including costs to comply with the rules and regulations applicable to companies listed on a national securities exchange, costs related to compliance and reporting obligations, and increased expenses for insurance, investor relations, and professional services. While we have and will continue to incorporate AI into out development and business processes, there can be no assurance that we will realize the desired or anticipated efficiencies or cost reductions from AI in a timely manner, and the adoption of AI in various aspects of our business may lead to increased costs in the near term. In addition, our ability to achieve and maintain profitability will be highly dependent on our ability to successfully market our platform and products to new and existing customers. These efforts may prove to be more expensive than we currently anticipate, and we may not succeed in increasing our revenue sufficiently, or at all, to offset these higher expenses. Our efforts and investments to implement systems and processes to scale operations may not be sufficient or may not be effective. As a result, we may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including the other risks described herein, unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, or delays, and other unknown events. If we are unable to achieve and sustain profitability, the value of our business and the trading price of our Class A common stock may significantly decrease.
Current wording
We have experienced net losses in each period since inception. We generated net losses of $227.3 million and $169.5 million for the six months ended July 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of July 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $2.9 billion. While we have experienced rapid revenue growth in recent periods, we are not certain whether or when we will obtain a high enough volume of sales to achieve or maintain profitability in the future. We expect our operating expenses will increase over time as we continue to invest meaningfully in expanding our sales force, increasing our marketing efforts, expanding into new markets and further developing our technology architecture and platform, and as we incur additional expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including costs to comply with the rules and regulations applicable to companies listed on a national securities exchange, costs related to compliance and reporting obligations, and increased expenses for insurance, investor relations, and professional services.

As a result, we may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including the other risks described herein, unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, or delays, and other unknown events. For example, advances in quantum computing could result in the industry transitioning to cryptography standards which require large key sizes and significantly more computational resources, and could contribute to increase in our operating expenses due to higher costs to develop and deploy post-quantum cryptographic upgrades across out cloud infrastructure. If we are unable to achieve and sustain profitability, the value of our business and the trading price of our Class A common stock may significantly decrease.

We were founded in 2012 and have been growing rapidly over the last several years, with revenue of $201.6 million and $157.7 million for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and we may continue to experience rapid growth in the future. As a result, our ability to forecast our future results of operations is subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to effectively plan for and model future growth. Many factors may contribute to declines in our revenue growth rate, including increased competition, slowing demand for our platform and products from existing and new customers, a failure by us to capitalize on growth opportunities, terminations of contracts by our existing customers, and the maturation of our business, among others. Our recent and historical growth should not be considered indicative of our future performance. Even if our revenue continues to increase over the long term, our revenue growth rate has in the past declined, and we expect our revenue growth rate to decline in the future, as a result of a variety of factors, including the maturation of our business. We have encountered in the past, and will encounter in the future, risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries. If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties, which we use to plan and operate our business, are incorrect or change, or if we do not address these risks successfully, our operating and financial results could differ materially from our expectations, our growth rates may slow and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.

We rely extensively on our ecosystem of channel partners, including VARs and distributors, technology alliances, service and telecommunications partners, MSPs, system integrators, and other strategic partners to deliver, customize, integrate, and manage our platform and products for substantially all of our customers. A significant portion of our sales also originates within our partner ecosystem. For example, sales through our top five partners and their affiliates, in aggregate, represented 38% of our revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 35% of our revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2025. We have experienced, and may in the future experience, consolidation in our partner ecosystem through the merger of certain of our channel partners, which may increase our reliance on individual channel partners. Not only does our joint sales approach require additional investment to grow and train our sales force, but we believe that continued growth in our business is dependent upon identifying, developing and maintaining strategic relationships with our existing and potential channel partners. Our arrangements with our channel partners are generally non-exclusive, meaning they may offer customers the products and services of several different companies, including products and services that compete with our platform and products. If our channel partners do not effectively market and sell our platform and products, choose to use greater efforts to market and sell our competitors' products or services, fail to meet the needs of our customers, or cease marketing our platform and products or providing services to us, our ability to grow our business and sell our platform and products may be adversely affected. Our channel partners may cease marketing our platform and products with limited or no notice and with little or no penalty. If one or more of our channel partners determines that it is unable to both provide services to us or cooperate with us in our go-to-market efforts while at the same time providing services to our competitors, those channel partners may cease marketing our platform and products or otherwise cease providing services to us or cooperating with us in our go-to-market efforts. Our ability to achieve revenue growth in the future will depend in part on our maintaining successful relationships with our channel partners, identifying additional channel partners and training our channel partners to independently sell and deploy our platform and products. If we are unable to maintain our relationships with our existing channel partners or develop successful relationships with new channel partners or if our channel partners fail to perform, the demand for our platform and our products could decline, and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

To increase the number of customers and increase the market acceptance of our platform, we will need to expand our sales and marketing operations, including our domestic and international sales forces. Although we have a channel sales model, our sales representatives typically engage in direct interaction with our prospective customers. Therefore, we continue to be substantially dependent on our sales force to obtain new customers. Increasing our customer base and achieving broader market acceptance of our platform will depend, to a significant extent, on our ability to expand and further invest in our sales and marketing operations and activities, particularly in the United States. There is significant competition for sales personnel with the advanced sales skills and technical knowledge we need. We believe that selling security, networking, and analytics solutions requires particularly talented sales personnel with the ability to communicate the transformative potential of our platform and products. These requirements are heightened as the number and variety of products we offer increases, and in recent periods we have invested significantly in training and recruiting sales personnel to effectively sell our expanding portfolio of products. Our ability to achieve significant growth in revenue in the future will depend, in large part, on our success in recruiting, training and retaining enough talented sales personnel in both the U.S. and international markets.

New hires require significant training and may take significant time before they achieve full productivity. As a result, our new hires and planned hires may not become as productive as we would like, and we may be unable to hire or retain enough qualified individuals in the future. As a result of our rapid growth, a large percentage of our sales and marketing team is new to our company and selling our platform and products, and therefore this team may be less effective than our more seasoned employees. Furthermore, hiring sales personnel in new countries, or expanding our existing presence, requires upfront and ongoing expenditures that we may not recover if the sales personnel fail to achieve full productivity. We cannot predict whether, or to what extent, our sales will increase as we expand our sales force or how long it will take for sales personnel to become productive. The effectiveness of our sales and marketing has also varied over time and, together with the effectiveness of any partners or resellers we may engage, may vary in the future. Our business and operating results may be harmed if our efforts do not generate a correspondingly significant increase in revenue. We may not achieve anticipated revenue growth from expanding our sales force if we are unable to hire, develop and retain talented sales personnel, if our new sales personnel are unable to achieve desired productivity levels in a reasonable period of time, or if our sales and marketing programs are not effective.
Current wording
New hires require significant training and may take significant time before they achieve full productivity due to the complexity of our solutions and sales cycles.

The length and unpredictability of the sales cycle for our platform and products makes it difficult to identify a regular cadence to our sales. We and our channel partners are often required to spend significant time and resources to better educate and familiarize potential customers with the value proposition of our platform and products. Customers often view the purchase of our platform and products as a strategic decision and significant investment and, as a result, frequently require considerable time to evaluate, test, and qualify our platform and products, as well as those of our competitors, prior to purchasing our platform and products. Large enterprises and government entities in particular often undertake a significant evaluation process that further lengthens the sales cycle. In 2023, we achieved FedRAMP High certification, and given our limited experience with selling to the government, any sales to government entities could require particularly significant investments of time and expense. In addition, the impact of macroeconomic conditions could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition by reducing sales, lengthening sales cycles and lowering prices for our platform and products. During the sales cycle, we expend significant time and money on sales and marketing and contract negotiation activities, which ultimately may not result in a sale. Additional factors that may influence the length and variability of our sales cycle include:

Historically, we have derived a significant portion of our revenue from outside the United States. During the three months ended April 30, 2026, EMEA and APJ contributed 26% and 18% of our revenue, respectively, representing 31% and 25% year-over-year growth. As of April 30, 2026, approximately 67% of our full-time employees were located outside of the United States. We have offices in the United Kingdom, France, Spain, India, Taiwan, and other locations. We also host our network of data centers in 80 unique regions with more than 200 localization zones globally. We are continuing to adapt to and develop strategies to address international markets and our growth strategy includes continued expansion into target geographies, but there is no guarantee that such efforts will be successful. We expect that our international operations will continue to grow in the future, as we continue to pursue opportunities in international markets. These international operations will require significant management attention and financial resources and are subject to substantial risks, including:

We rely on a limited number of vendors and suppliers globally for certain of the equipment, software and services we use to operate our global data center network and provide our platform and products to our customers, including sole or limited sourced hardware, software and Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS") services. Our reliance on these vendors and suppliers exposes us to risks, including reduced control over costs and constraints based on the then-current availability, terms and pricing offered by these vendors and suppliers. For example, we generally purchase equipment or the components of equipment on a purchase order basis, with future delivery dates, but do not have long-term contracts guaranteeing supply beyond our purchase orders. In addition, the technology industry has experienced component shortages, delivery delays, price increases and service interruptions in the past, and we may experience shortages, delays, materially increased costs or service interruptions in the future, including as a result of natural disasters, acts of war or international conflicts, epidemics or global pandemics, increased demand in the industry, increased demand for supplies or services used to support AI development, trade policy, or if our suppliers do not have sufficient rights to supply the components in all jurisdictions in which we may host our platform and products. While global economic conditions have not had a material impact on our supply chain to date, these conditions have increased our costs in the past and could result in disruptions and delays for components in the future. For example, industry demand to build new data centers to support the rapid expansion of AI has increased the cost of components and hardware we use in our global network infrastructure, and while we have sufficient quantities of components and hardware for our near term expansion plans, the cost of building new data centers in the future could significantly impact our expenses or affect the expansion of our global network. There is a risk that current geopolitical, diplomatic and other developments affecting the relationship between China and Taiwan may materially and negatively impact the availability of certain critical components that we use in our data centers, which we source from overseas. The availability or price of such components may also be impacted by global trade policy, including the introduction or modification of tariffs affecting such components. For example, the current U.S. presidential administration has and may continue to impose tariffs on countries globally. If our supply of certain components is disrupted or delayed, there can be no assurance that available alternatives can serve as adequate replacements for the existing components or that alternatives will be available on terms that are favorable to us, if at all. Concentration among the vendors who host our co-located data centers may also increase our costs and exposure to business disruptions ari…

Our success has depended, and continues to depend, on the efforts and talents of our senior management team and key employees, including our leadership team, engineers, product managers, sales and marketing personnel, and professional services personnel. In particular, we are highly dependent on the services of Sanjay Beri, our co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, who is critical to our future vision and strategic direction. We rely on our leadership team in the areas of operations, security, marketing, sales, support and general and administrative functions, and on individual contributors on our research and development team. Although we have entered into employment agreements with our key personnel, these agreements have no specific duration and constitute at-will employment. Our future success will also depend upon our continued ability to identify, hire, and retain additional skilled and highly qualified personnel, which will require significant time, expense, and attention. In addition, changes to U.S. immigration policies, particularly to H-1B and other visa programs, and restrictions on travel could restrain the flow of technical and professional talent into the U.S. and may inhibit our ability to hire qualified personnel.

Although we have entered into employment agreements with our key personnel, these agreements have no specific duration and constitute at-will employment. In June 2026, we announced that we have initiated a search for a new Chief Financial Officer as part of our long-term succession planning. Leadership transitions of this nature involve inherent risk, including the possibility that the search for a successor takes longer than anticipated, that the transition disrupts continuity in our financial planning, reporting, or investor relations functions, or that the departure of an experienced finance leader results in the loss of institutional knowledge that is not readily replaced. Any failure to identify, hire, and successfully transition a new Chief Financial Officer in a timely and effective manner could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition. Our future success will also depend upon our continued ability to identify, hire, and retain additional skilled and highly qualified personnel, which will require significant time, expense, and attention.

We generate revenue primarily from subscriptions to our platform and products, together with related support services. We offer subscription plans that combine multiple products, and also offer separate subscriptions to individual products and platform functionalities. We have limited experience with respect to determining the optimal prices and pricing models for our subscription plans and products. As the markets for our products mature, as we enter into newer product markets for our business, or as competitors introduce new products or services that compete with ours, we may adjust our subscription or pricing models (including changing the activation of services or timing of customers' payments over the course of their subscriptions) or promotional programs. Any decrease in the sales prices for access to our platform and products, without a corresponding decrease in costs or increase in sales volume, would adversely affect our revenue, gross margin, financial condition, and cash flow.

We offer subscription plans that combine multiple products, and also offer separate subscriptions to individual products and platform functionalities. We have limited experience with respect to determining the optimal prices and pricing models for our subscription plans and products. We have recently introduced pricing models for certain of our AI-related offerings, such as our AI Guardrails and Agentic Broker, based on measures other than the number of human users, such as transaction volume or the number of AI agents deployed. We have limited experience with these newer pricing approaches, and if we are unable to appropriately price and monetize non-user-base capacity and agent-driven activity, our revenue growth and results of operations could be adversely affected. As the markets for our products mature, as we enter into newer product markets for our business, or as competitors introduce new products or services that compete with ours, we may adjust our subscription or pricing models (including changing the activation of services or timing of customers' payments over the course of their subscriptions) or promotional programs. Any decrease in the sales prices for access to our platform and products, without a corresponding decrease in costs or increase in sales volume, would adversely affect our revenue, gross margin, financial condition, and cash flow.

We believe that our significant presence in India and Taiwan provides important advantages for our business, such as direct access to a large pool of skilled professionals. However, it also creates certain risks that we must effectively manage. As of April 30, 2026, 29.4% of our global work force was based in India and 7.6% of our global work force was based in Taiwan, comprised mostly of R&D, support and operations professionals. Wage costs in India and Taiwan for skilled professionals are currently lower than in the United States for comparably skilled professionals. However, wages and benefit costs in India and Taiwan are increasing at a faster rate than in the United States, which could result in us incurring increased costs for technical professionals at a faster rate. There is intense competition in India and Taiwan for skilled technical professionals, and we expect this competition to increase. As a result, we may be unable to retain our current employee base in India and Taiwan or hire additional new talent or do so cost-effectively. In addition, India has recently experienced significant inflation and low economic growth. India also has experienced natural disasters, civil unrest and terrorism and, in the past, has been involved in conflicts with neighboring countries. If we are unable to effectively manage any of the foregoing risks related to our India and Taiwan operations, our development efforts and operations could be impaired, which could materially and negatively impact our growth and operating results.

Current wording
Our operating expenses incurred outside the United States and denominated in foreign currencies are generally increasing and are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We may, in the future, establish a foreign exchange hedging program to lessen the effects of currency fluctuations on certain of our non-U.S. dollar denominated currency exposure, however, such program may not successfully mitigate losses caused by currency fluctuations. If we are not able to successfully hedge against the risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations, our financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

We have incorporated, and expect to continue to incorporate, AI and ML into our platform and products. The rapid evolution of AI and ML requires the application of resources to develop, test and maintain our platform and products to help ensure that AI and ML are implemented responsibly in order to benefit our business, while also minimizing any unintended or harmful impact. As with many developing technologies, AI and ML present risks and challenges, many of which may be unknown, that could affect their further development, adoption and use. These risks and challenges could undermine public confidence in AI and ML, which could slow or even halt its adoption and negatively affect our business. Further, quickly-evolving legal and regulatory environments and evolving industry standards and policy recommendations relating to social and ethical issues related to AI and ML, may cause us to incur increased research and development or compliance costs or divert resources from development or other efforts. The use of AI and ML technologies presents emerging ethical issues that could become controversial. As a result of these and other challenges associated with our use, development, and implementation of AI and ML, we may in the future be subject to new and evolving rules and regulations regulating AI in various jurisdictions, such as the European Union's Artificial Intelligence Act and state legislation proposed, and in certain cases enacted, in the U.S. addressing AI, new and evolving applications of data protection, privacy, cybersecurity, information security, intellectual property and other laws, legal claims, demands and liability, regulatory investigations and other proceedings, competitive harm, and brand or reputational harm.

Cyber attacks or other cybersecurity breaches, incidents, or disruptions with respect to our networks, systems, or applications, or those of our vendors, including loss or unavailability of, or unauthorized access to, or disclosure or other processing of, our proprietary, confidential, or sensitive information, including personal information, could disrupt our operations, compromise sensitive information related to our business or personal information processed by us or on our behalf, and expose us to liability, which could harm our reputation and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. It is virtually impossible for us to entirely mitigate the risk of breaches of our platform or other security incidents affecting our platform or the systems, networks or data used in our business. As we grow, we may become a more attractive target for cyber attacks. Our security, networking, and analytics products analyze and otherwise process proprietary and confidential information, including personal information. Companies in our industry are subject to a wide variety of attacks on their networks and systems. As a well-known provider of security, networking, and analytics, we pose an attractive target for such attacks, and as our footprint grows larger, we may become an even more attractive target for cyber attacks. We and the vendors on which we rely, have previously experienced, and may in the future experience, various cybersecurity incidents and other attempts to access or disrupt our networks, systems, and applications. For example, in February 2023, we experienced a significant denial of service attack, which was mitigated within hours but temporarily impacted performance and some services. We face threats from a variety of sources, including sophisticated nation-state and nation-state supported actors, cyber criminals, terrorists, and politically motivated groups or individuals that pose risks to our networks and systems, our platform, our third-party service providers, and our customers' systems and the proprietary, confidential, or sensitive information, including personal information processed by us or on our behalf. The growth in state sponsored cyber activity, including those actions taken in connection with the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine, showcase the increasing sophistication of cyber threats. As a result, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate measures to prevent an electronic intrusion into our customers through our platform or to prevent breaches and other security incidents affecting our platform, internal networks, systems or data. Further, we may be unable to remediate or otherwise respond to any identified breach or other incident in a timely manner.

Moreover, future or past business transactions (such as acquisitions or integrations) could expose us to additional cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities, as our systems could be negatively affected by vulnerabilities present in acquired or integrated entities' systems and technologies. Furthermore, we may discover security issues that were not found during due diligence of such acquired or integrated entities, and it may be increasingly difficult to integrate companies into our IT environment and security program successfully, or at all. In addition, advances in technology, including increased adoption of artificial intelligence technology by us and third-party partners, and an increased level of sophistication and expertise of hackers (including through the malicious use of artificial intelligence technology), may also increase the risks of cybersecurity incidents.

Despite significant efforts to create security barriers to safeguard against such threats, it is impossible for us to entirely mitigate these risks. Despite our security measures and our cybersecurity risk management program, our and our vendors' IT and infrastructure may be vulnerable to security risks, including loss or theft of, damage to, or unauthorized access to, use, disclosure or other processing of proprietary information or other customer data, employee error or misconduct, denial of service attacks, and other means to disrupt our platform or our or our service providers' networks and systems, and hacking attacks or other cyber attacks originated from our infrastructure. The security measures we have integrated into our networks, systems and platform, which are designed to detect unauthorized activity and help protect our proprietary, confidential, or sensitive information, including personal information, and to help prevent data loss and prevent or minimize security breaches, incidents, or disruptions, may not function as expected or may not be sufficient to protect our internal networks and platform against certain attacks. In addition, techniques used to sabotage or obtain unauthorized access to networks in which data is stored or through which data is transmitted change frequently, generally are not recognized until launched against a target, and may be difficult to discover for an extended period. Even if identified, we may be unable to adequately investigate or remediate incidents or breaches due to attackers increasingly using tools and techniques that are designed to circumvent controls, to avoid detection, and to remove or obfuscate forensic evidence. For example, threat actors may leverage emerging AI technologies to develop new hacking tools and attack vectors, discover and exploit vulnerabilities, obscure their activities, increase the frequency or intensity of attacks, and increase the difficulty of threat attribution and remediation. Such cyber attacks and other cybersecurity breaches, incidents, or disruptions may continue to evolve in frequency and sophistication, and we may be unable to anticipate these techniques and implement adequate preventative, detection, mitigation or other measures.

The growth in state sponsored cyber activity showcases the increasing sophistication of cyber threats and dramatically expands the global threat landscape. Moreover, as our platform and products are adopted by an increasing number of enterprises, it is possible that the individuals and organizations behind cyber threats will focus on finding ways to defeat our platform and products or to target our systems. If this happens, our platform and products could be targeted by attacks designed to defeat our platform and products, disrupt our business, or create the perception that our platform and products are not capable of providing superior security, any of which could have a serious impact on our reputation as a provider of security, networking, and analytics. Further, high profile security breaches or incidents, whether actual, perceived, or purported, and in particular those of security, networking, or analytics providers, may cause our customers and potential customers to lose trust in security, networking, and analytics solutions generally, and with respect to security in particular, which could materially and adversely impact our ability to retain existing customers or attract new customers.

The U.S. federal government, and various state and foreign governments, have adopted or proposed laws and regulations on the collection, use, storage, disclosure, and other processing of information relating to individuals. Such laws and regulations may, among other things, require companies to implement privacy and security policies, permit customers to access, correct and delete information stored or maintained by such companies, inform individuals of security breaches that affect their information and, in some cases, obtain individuals' consent to use information for certain purposes. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act took effect in January 2020 and was subsequently modified by the California Privacy Rights Act, which took effect in January 2023. Numerous other states have enacted, and others are expected to enact, privacy laws that have gone into effect, or will go into effect through 2026, and a federal privacy law is being considered. In addition, in certain jurisdictions, regulatory requirements may be more stringent than those in the U.S. For example, the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation provides for substantial obligations relating to the handling, storage and other processing of information relating to individuals and fines of up to €20 million or 4% of the annual global revenue of the noncompliant company, whichever is greater. The UK’s data protection regime (the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018) also imposes similar obligations relating to the processing of information and penalties of up to the greater of £17.5 million or 4% of global revenue.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman entered into a voting agreement with one of our non-executive co-founders for 3.6% of the voting power, resulting in an aggregate 19.2% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock as of July 31, 2026. This concentrated control will limit or preclude the ability of holders of Class A common stock to influence corporate matters for the foreseeable future, including the election of directors, amendments of our organizational documents, and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other major corporate transaction requiring stockholder approval. In addition, this may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for our capital stock that Class A common stockholders may feel are in their best interest as one group of our stockholders.
