Root corrects classification of $10.6M tax liability from expense to equity
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Approximately $10.6M in payroll tax withholding for RSU/PSU vesting will be recorded as Additional paid-in capital, not Operating expense.
- Correction applies to Q2 2024 vesting and does not affect cash flows or total equity.
- Prior guidance on Q1 2024 earnings call had indicated the amount would be an operating expense; now revised.
- Classification change impacts Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Equity.
- No change to total net worth; purely a reclassification between equity and expense line items.
