Other than the risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report (under the heading “Risk Factors”) in response to Part 1, Item 1A of the Form 10-K.
We cannot guarantee that our share repurchase program will be fully consummated or that it will enhance long-term stockholder value. Share repurchases could also affect the trading price of our stock and increase its volatility and could materially impact our liquidity.
Our board of directors (the “Board”) has approved a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $50 million of our Class A common stock from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through block purchases, through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, or by any combination of such methods (the “Share Repurchase Program”). Although the Board has authorized the Share Repurchase Program, such authorization does not obligate us to repurchase any specific dollar amount or to acquire any specific number of shares.
The actual timing, manner, price and total amount of future repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including business, economic and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, restrictions under the terms of our Amended Credit Agreement and other considerations. Our Share Repurchase Program is subject to significant market timing and valuation risks that could result in suboptimal capital allocation and adverse impacts on shareholder value. We may repurchase shares at prices that subsequently prove to have been excessive relative to the intrinsic value of our stock, particularly during periods of market volatility or when our stock price is trading at elevated multiples. Market conditions, investor sentiment, and macroeconomic and geopolitical factors beyond our control can cause substantial fluctuations in our stock price, making it difficult to determine optimal timing and pricing for repurchases. Our repurchase decisions are based on management's assessment of various factors, including stock price, market conditions, available cash, and alternative investment opportunities, but these assessments may prove incorrect.
The Share Repurchase Program may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time, and we cannot guarantee that the program will be fully consummated or that it will enhance long-term stockholder value. The Share Repurchase Program could affect the trading price of our stock and increase its volatility, and any announcement of a termination of this program may result in a decrease in the trading price of our stock. In addition, the Share Repurchase Program could materially diminish our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities and adversely impact our overall liquidity position.
Our workforce reduction plan may not achieve the anticipated benefits and could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In July 2026, our Board approved the Plan to streamline our organizational structure and align our cost base with our strategic priorities, including our ongoing investments in AI-powered social intelligence. The Plan involves a reduction of approximately 20% of our workforce, or approximately 260 employees. We estimate that we will incur total pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $18.0 million to $20.0 million in connection with the Plan, consisting primarily of cash expenditures related to employee severance payments and benefits. These estimates are preliminary, and we may incur charges

that are materially higher than currently anticipated due to factors that are beyond our control, including the outcome of any required consultations or proceedings with employee representative bodies, governmental authorities or other third parties in certain jurisdictions, as well as potential legal claims by affected employees.
There can be no assurance that the Plan will achieve the expected cost savings, operational efficiencies or organizational benefits on the anticipated timeline, or at all. The Plan may result in unintended consequences, including loss of institutional knowledge and expertise, reduced productivity, disruption to ongoing projects and customer relationships, and delays in our product development roadmap. We may further discover that, despite the savings realized from the Plan, we may require additional capital to continue expanding our business, and we may be unable to obtain such capital on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to successfully implement the Plan and realize the anticipated benefits, or if we incur costs materially in excess of our current estimates, our business, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
The Plan may also impair our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified employees, including key personnel and highly skilled technical talent, as remaining employees may experience decreased morale, increased uncertainty and higher voluntary attrition, and our reputation as an employer of choice may be diminished. In addition, the workforce reduction could disrupt our product development, customer experience and strategic initiatives, including our investments in AI-powered social intelligence, which could compromise our pace of innovation, platform reliability and customer retention.
