Pursuant to this practice, the compensation committee or its subcommittee approves the intended dollar value of annual equity awards to be granted to our executive officers during its first regularly scheduled meeting held during the first quarter of our fiscal year. The compensation committee or its subcommittee then approves the grant of the annual equity awards to our executive officers, including the vesting schedule and other terms and conditions applicable thereto, during its regularly scheduled meeting in the second quarter of our fiscal year. The number of shares to be awarded as part of the annual grants is generally determined by dividing the intended award value by (i) in the case of options, the Black Scholes valuation of an option as of the date of grant and (ii) in the case of RSUs, the average trading price for a share of the Company’s Class A common stock over the 30 trading days preceding the grant date. The dates for these committee meetings are typically set more than a year in advance on a fairly consistent cadence year over year. Our compensation committee also has delegated authority to our management equity committee, which during 2025 consisted of our Block Head and People Lead, to make equity grants within predetermined guidelines to employees and consultants who are not our Section 16 officers or members of our management equity committee. Awards to our non-employee directors are granted automatically pursuant to our outside director compensation policy.</div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:49.5pt">Occasionally, we may also grant equity awards outside our annual grant cycle, including for new hires, promotions, or other special circumstances. The timing of any equity grants to executive officers in connection with any such new hires, promotions, or other non-routine grants is tied to the event giving rise to the award (such as an executive officer’s commencement of employment or promotion effective date).</div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:49.5pt">In all cases, the timing of grants of equity awards, including stock options, is intended to occur independent of the release of any material non-public information, and we do not otherwise time the grant of equity-based awards to take advantage of the release of material non-public information or time the disclosure of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive equity-based compensation.</div><div

We calculate CAP in accordance with the methodology prescribed under SEC guidance to Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and as shown in the adjustment table below. Average CAP for our non-PEO NEOs is calculated by, as described in more detail under footnote (6) below, (a) taking the average SCT total compensation, less (b) the grant date fair value of equity granted during the year, plus (c) the following: (i) the year-end fair value of outstanding, unvested equity awards granted during the applicable year; (ii) for equity awards </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;padding-left:99pt;text-align:justify">granted in prior years that are outstanding and unvested at the end of the year, the difference between the year-end fair value and the immediately prior year-end fair value; (iii) the vesting date fair value of any equity awards that were granted and vested in the same covered fiscal year; and (iv) for awards granted in prior years that vested during the applicable year, the difference between the fair value as of the vesting date and the immediately prior year-end fair value, less (d) the fair value at the end of the prior fiscal year for awards granted in prior years that were forfeited during the covered fiscal year. We have not paid dividends historically and do not sponsor any pension arrangements; thus no adjustments are made for these items.</div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;padding-left:99pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-49.5pt">(4)For purposes of calculating the average CAP to our non-PEO NEOs, compensation related to equity awards was remeasured. For RSUs, the fair values and the change in fair values were determined by the closing price of our common stock at each applicable year-end date or, in the case of vested awards, the stock price on vesting date. For stock options, a Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model (“BSM model”) was used as of the applicable year-end date or, in the case of vested options, the vesting date. The BSM model requires us to make assumptions and judgments regarding the variables used in the calculation, including the expected remaining term, expected volatility, and the expected risk-free rate. The valuation assumptions used to calculate fair value of equity awards were materially consistent with those used to calculate the grant date fair value of such award and those used to calculate our share-based compensation expense, as disclosed in the “Share-based Compensation” section of Note 16, Stockholders’ Equity of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. For stock options, the fair value amounts of stock options for 2025 reflected in the table above were calculated using the “historical” method for determining the expected term of the options under the BSM model. For stock option fair value amounts for prior years, we used the “simplified method” for determining the expected term of the options under the BSM model. There is no material difference in the reported years as a result of the change in methodology.</div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;padding-left:99pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-49.5pt">(5)Changes in the market price of our Class A common stock following the date of grant of an award can impact CAP to our non-PEO NEOs. For the portion of the average CAP that is based on year-end stock prices, the following prices from the last trading day of the applicable year were used: (a) $217.64 for 2020; (b) $161.51 for 2021; (c) $62.84 for 2022; (d) $77.35 for 2023; (e) $84.99 for 2024; and (g) $65.09 for 2025.</div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt;padding-left:99pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-49.5pt">(6)Reflects the
