Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

“As previously disclosed on the Form 4 filed by Mr. Lampert on December 13, 2021, on December 9, 2021, Mr. Lampert entered into a prepaid variable forward sale contract (“December Transaction #1”) with an unaffiliated bank (the “Bank”), which obligated Mr. Lampert to deliver to the Bank up to 235,214 Shares (or, at Mr. Lampert’s election, an equivalent amount of cash, as determined pursuant to the December Transaction #1 documentation) on the applicable settlement dates beginning June 21, 2022. In exchange for entering into December Transaction #1 and assuming this obligation, Mr. Lampert received a cash payment of $21,988,873.53 on December 9, 2021. December Transaction #1 was divided into ten individual components designated by valuation date, which are the ten trading days from June 16, 2022 through June 30, 2022, inclusively, of which the number of Shares with respect to each component is 23,521 (or 23,525 with respect to the last valuation date) (each, the “December Transaction #1 Component Share Number” for the relevant component). On December 9, 2021, Mr. Lampert pledged 235,214 Shares (the “December Transaction #1 Pledged Shares”) to secure the obligations under December Transaction #1.

Also as previously disclosed on the Form 4 filed by Mr. Lampert on December 13, 2021, on December 9, 2021, Mr. Lampert entered into a separate prepaid variable forward sale contract (“December Transaction #2”, and together with December Transaction #1, the “December Transactions”) with the Bank, which obligated Mr. Lampert to deliver to the Bank up to 39,986 Shares (or, at Mr. Lampert’s election, an equivalent amount of cash, as determined pursuant to the December Transaction #2 documentation) on the applicable settlement dates beginning June 21, 2022. In exchange for entering into December Transaction #2 and assuming this obligation, Mr. Lampert received a cash payment of $3,738,072.98 on December 9, 2021. December Transaction #2 was also divided into ten individual components designated by valuation date, which are also the ten trading days from June 16, 2022 through June 30, 2022, inclusively, of which the number of Shares with respect to each component is 3,998 (or 4,004 with respect to the last valuation date) (each, the “December Transaction #2 Component Share Number” for the relevant component). On December 9, 2021, Mr. Lampert pledged 39,986 Shares (the “December Transaction #2 Pledged Shares”, and together with the December Transaction #1 Pledged Shares, the “Pledged Shares”) to secure the obligations under December Transaction #2. Mr. Lampert retained all voting rights and dispositive power over all of the Pledged Shares during the term of the applicable pledge, subject to the Bank’s exercise of default remedies.

On the settlement date for each component (beginning on June 21, 2022), Mr. Lampert was obligated to deliver to the Bank a number of Shares determined as follows (or, at Mr. Lampert’s election, Mr. Lampert could pay an equivalent amount in cash on the applicable settlement date, as determined pursuant to the December Transaction #1 documentation or December Transaction #2 documentation, as applicable): (a) if the volume weighted average trading price per Share on the valuation date, as determined pursuant to the December Transaction #1 documentation or December Transaction #2 documentation, as applicable, for the relevant component (the “December Settlement Price”) was less than $101.4758 (the “December Floor Price”), either the December Transaction #1 Component Share Number or the December Transaction #2 Component Share Number, as applicable for the relevant component; (b) if the December Settlement Price was between the December Floor Price and $221.9782 (the “December Cap Price”), either the December Transaction #1 Component Share Number or the December Transaction #2 Component Share Number, as applicable for the relevant component, multiplied by the December Floor Price divided by the December Settlement Price; and (c) if the December Settlement Price was greater than the December Cap Price, either the December Transaction #1 Component Share Number or the December Transaction #2 Component Share Number, as applicable for the relevant component, multiplied by (1 - ((Cap Price—Floor Price), divided by the December Settlement Price)).

 


Accordingly, Mr. Lampert delivered a total of 212,215 December Transaction #1 Pledged Shares and 36,076 December Transaction #2 Pledged Shares to the Bank in connection with physical settlements occurring on June 21, June 22, June 23, June 24, June 27, June 28, June 29, June 30, July 1 and July 5 pursuant to the terms of the documentation of December Transaction #1 and December Transaction #2, as applicable.
