Reclassification of Common Stock and Initial Public Offering
On April 23, 2018, the Company completed the Reclassification by amending and restating its certificate of incorporation to effectuate a dual class common stock structure consisting of Class A common stock and Class B common stock. As a result, each share of common stock, was reclassified into 25.2 shares of Class B common stock so that all holders of shares of outstanding common stock became the holders of 41,817,537 shares of Class B common stock, and shares held by the Company in treasury became 3,170,034 Class B treasury shares. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to the Stock Split.
On May 8, 2018, the Company completed its IPO, in which it sold 11,250,000 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $12.00 per share. Of these shares, 9,000,000 were shares of Class A common stock sold by the Company and 2,250,000 were sold by holders of Class B common stock, which shares upon sale automatically converted into 2,250,000 shares of Class A common stock. On May 24, 2018, the underwriters of the IPO partially exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 700,000 shares of Class A common stock at the IPO price of $12.00, less the underwriting discount and commissions. Of these shares, 350,000 were shares of Class A common stock sold by the Company and 350,000 were sold by holders of Class B common stock, which shares upon sale automatically converted into 350,000 shares of Class A common stock.
At June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the Company had authorized for issuance 400,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, of which 32,442,545 were issued and outstanding at June 30, 2019, and 11,950,000 were issued and outstanding at September 30, 2018.

Amendment to the Equity Incentive Plan
On May 24, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) adopted an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Equity Incentive Plan relating to exceptions from the Equity Incentive Plan’s $750,000 limit on the aggregate dollar value of equity-based awards granted during any calendar year to a non-employee director. Prior to the adoption of the Amendment, the limit could be multiplied by two with respect to awards granted in the calendar year in which a non-employee director first joined the Board. The Amendment changed the period within which the aggregate value of equity-based awards may be multiplied by two to be the calendar year in which a non-employee director is first granted equity-based awards under the Equity Incentive Plan.
