Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

The information set forth in Item 3 of this Statement is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4. The Reporting Person periodically reviews its investments in issuers, including the Issuer, and intends to further assess its investment in the Issuer from time to time, on the basis of various factors, including, without limitation, the Issuer's business performance, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic, market and industry conditions, as well as other developments and other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Person and the Issuer. The Reporting Person seeks to maximize the value of its investment in the Issuer. If the Reporting Person believes that further investment in the Issuer is attractive, the Reporting Person may acquire (or seek to acquire) Class A Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer or interests in the assets or businesses of the Issuer. Similarly, the Reporting Person may determine to dispose of some or all of the Class A Common Stock currently owned by the Reporting Person.

Depending upon the foregoing factors or any other factors that the Reporting Person may deem relevant, the Reporting Person may (i) acquire additional securities of the Issuer in open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions, (ii) make a proposal or proposals to acquire more (or potentially all) of the equity interests in the Issuer, including, without limitation, directly from certain (or potentially all) of the security holders of the Issuer, and make a shareholder proposal or proposals to request that the Issuer consider one or more extraordinary transactions, such as a merger (which transactions may cause the Issuer's Class A Common Stock to be delisted from the Nasdaq stock exchange or deregistered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), (iii) dispose of part or all of its investment in the Issuer in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, via extraordinary transactions such as a merger or otherwise, and/or (iv) acquire assets or businesses of the Issuer or its subsidiaries, or an interest in assets or businesses of the Issuer or its subsidiaries, in each case including, without limitation, through the formation of a joint venture, strategic partnership or otherwise. Any acquisition or disposition may be effected by the Reporting Person at any time without prior notice, subject to applicable law.

Dara Khosrowshahi, the Reporting Person's Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Reporting Person's board of directors, serves as a director on the Issuer's board of directors (the "Board"). The Reporting Person may engage in discussions, including, without limitation, through Mr. Khosrowshahi (including in the course of his service as a director), with management of the Issuer, the Board, other shareholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties concerning the business, operations, board composition, management, strategy or control and future plans of the Issuer that could result in or relate to, among other things, any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Subject to the foregoing and except as described in this Schedule 13D, neither the Reporting Person nor, to its best knowledge, its directors or executive officers, has any present plan or proposal which relates to, or would result in, any of the events referred to in paragraphs (a) though (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Person intends to review its investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to review or reconsider its position, change its purpose, take other actions or formulate and implement plans or proposals with respect to any and all matters referred to in clauses (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) The Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of 325,973,411 shares of Class A Common Stock, which represent approximately 27.9% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock as of February 2, 2024. The percent of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person was calculated based on the 1,168,399,674 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding as of February 2, 2024, as described in the Issuer's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and does not include any issued and outstanding shares of Class B common stock of the Issuer, which are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock. None of the persons named in Schedule I beneficially own any shares of Class A Common Stock.

(b) The Reporting Person has sole voting and sole dispositive power over an aggregate of 325,973,411 shares of common stock.

(c) Other than the acquisition of the shares reported herein, the Reporting Person and, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Person, the directors and executive officers of the Reporting Person have not effected any other transactions in the shares of the Issuer during the past 60 days.
