Our founders will purchase 58,820 proportionate voting units ("Founders' Proportionate Voting Units") for an aggregate price of U.S.$25,000, or approximately U.S.$0.425 per Founders' Proportionate Voting Unit (before taking into account the proportionate voting units forming part of the Class B Units).
