(the &#8220;Company&#8221;) and RJB Partners LLC (&#8220;RJB&#8221;), an affiliate of Joseph N. Sanberg (an existing holder of the Company&#8217;s Class A common stock), entered into a Purchase Agreement, which was subsequently amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto on August 7, 2022 and by Amendment No. 2 thereto on September 7, 2022 (as amended, the &#8220;Purchase Agreement&#8221;), pursuant to which RJB agreed to purchase from the Company (i) 1,666,667 shares of the Company&#8217;s Class A common stock (the &#8220;Initial PIPE Shares&#8221;) for an aggregate purchase price of $20.0 million and (ii) 10,000,000 shares of the Company&#8217;s Class A common stock (the &#8220;Subsequent PIPE Shares&#8221;) for an aggregate purchase price of $56.5 million (the &#8220;Outstanding Obligated Amount&#8221;). Mr. Sanberg has agreed to guarantee the payment of RJB&#8217;s payment obligations under the Purchase Agreement. On April 29, 2022, the Initial PIPE Shares transaction closed. The Subsequent PIPE Shares transaction has not closed.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;">On November 6, 2022, the Company and Remember Bruce, LLC (&#8220;Pledgor&#8221;), an affiliate of Mr. Sanberg, entered into a Guaranty and Pledge Agreement (the &#8220;Pledge Agreement&#8221;) pursuant to which Pledgor (i) agreed to guarantee the payment of the Outstanding Obligated Amount and (ii) to secure its obligation to pay the Outstanding Obligated Amount, granted the Company a security interest in Pledgor&#8217;s equity interests in securities (the &#8220;Pledged Shares&#8221;) of certain privately-held issuers (the &#8220;Pledged Entities&#8221;), the certificates (if any) representing the Pledged Shares, and all dividends, distributions, cash, instruments and other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the Pledged Shares (collectively, the &#8220;Pledged Collateral&#8221;).</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;">Based on a third-party valuation report reviewed by the Company and based on representations made by Pledgor in the Pledge Agreement, the value of the Pledged Shares is estimated to be in excess of the Outstanding Obligated Amount. Because the Pledged Entities are privately held, there is no public trading market for the Pledged Shares. As a result, the value of the Pledged Shares could be less than the Outstanding Obligated Amount, and, if the Company seeks to foreclose upon the Pledged Shares to satisfy Pledgor&#8217;s obligation to pay the Outstanding Obligated Amount, the proceeds of any private sale of the Pledged Shares, to the extent any such private sale is permissible and effected subject to regulatory and contractual limitations that may apply, may be less than could have been obtained from a sale in a public trading market and may be less than the Outstanding Obligated Amount. The Company is permitted to exercise remedies in respect to the Pledged Shares if the Outstanding Obligated Amount remains unpaid after November 30, 2022, or earlier if Pledgor breaches the Pledge Agreement.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;">The Company is filing a UCC-1 Financing Statement to perfect its security interest in the Pledged Collateral.

The Company also intends to perfect its security interest in the Pledged Collateral through possession of the Pledged Shares in certificated form which Remember Bruce has committed to obtain and deliver to the Company no later than fifteen (15) days following the date of the Pledge Agreement.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;">The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement and Amendment No. 1 are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the documents, copies of which are filed, respectively, as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 5, 2022 and Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 8, 2022 and are incorporated by reference herein.

The Subsequent PIPE Shares transaction has not closed.
​
On November 6, 2022, the Company and Remember Bruce, LLC ("Pledgor"), an affiliate of Mr. Sanberg, entered into a Guaranty and Pledge Agreement (the "Pledge Agreement") pursuant to which Pledgor (i) agreed to guarantee the payment of the Outstanding Obligated Amount and (ii) to secure its obligation to pay the Outstanding Obligated Amount, granted the Company a security interest in Pledgor's equity interests in securities (the "Pledged Shares") of certain privately-held issuers (the "Pledged Entities"), the certificates (if any) representing the Pledged Shares, and all dividends, distributions, cash, instruments and other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the Pledged Shares (collectively, the "Pledged Collateral").
​
Based on a third-party valuation report reviewed by the Company and based on representations made by Pledgor in the Pledge Agreement, the value of the Pledged Shares is estimated to be in excess of the Outstanding Obligated Amount. Because the Pledged Entities are privately held, there is no public trading market for the Pledged Shares. As a result, the value of the Pledged Shares could be less than the Outstanding Obligated Amount, and, if the Company seeks to foreclose upon the Pledged Shares to satisfy Pledgor's obligation to pay the Outstanding Obligated Amount, the proceeds of any private sale of the Pledged Shares, to the extent any such private sale is permissible and effected subject to regulatory and contractual limitations that may apply, may be less than could have been obtained from a sale in a public trading market and may be less than the Outstanding Obligated Amount. The Company is permitted to exercise remedies in respect to the Pledged Shares if the Outstanding Obligated Amount remains unpaid after November 30, 2022, or earlier if Pledgor breaches the Pledge Agreement.
​
The Company is filing a UCC-1 Financing Statement to perfect its security interest in the Pledged Collateral. As with any perfection of a security interest in pledged shares through the filing of a UCC-1 Financing Statement, such perfection may be subject to perfection of other security interests held by other secured parties, if any, in the pledged shares, achieved by possession or control of the pledged shares and thus may be superior to the security interest granted to the Company. The Company also intends to perfect its security interest in the Pledged Collateral through possession of the Pledged Shares in certificated form which Remember Bruce has committed to obtain and deliver to the Company no later than fifteen (15) days following the date of the Pledge Agreement.
​

The Company intends to file Amendment No. 2 with its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and the Pledge Agreement with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
