  • Dual-Class Structure With ~86.3% Pre-Ipo Voting Control (unchanged) — Pre-IPO owners retain ~86.3% of voting power after the offering (roughly in line with their ~85.6% of stated consideration of ~$5.9B). Public investors put up ~14.4% of consideration for ~13.7% of votes; Sponsor beneficially controls ~76.5%. The Up-C/Class B structure pairs votes with Common Units at Holdings (PubCo ~73.3% economics vs Continuing Unitholders ~26.7%), plus classified board and 66⅔% supermajority protections.
  • Classified Board With Supermajority Removal Threshold (new) — Three-year staggered board terms combined with 66⅔% vote required to remove directors for cause makes it nearly impossible for minority shareholders to effect governance changes.
  • Tax Receivable Agreement Transferring 90% Of Tax Benefits To Sellers (new) — Company commits to pay $1,373M (potentially $2,084M) to pre-IPO owners over time, representing 90% of future tax savings—a significant off-balance-sheet cash obligation that reduces funds available to equity holders.
  • Controlled-Company Status (new) — Prospectus discloses controlled-company status under exchange rules, which permits exemptions from certain independent-director and committee requirements.
