Item 4 — Purpose of Transaction
Stock Purchase Agreement The description of the Stock Purchase Agreement in Item 3 is incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") within 60 days following any request by AFD for purposes of registering the resale of the shares of Class A Common Stock acquired in the Transaction (the "Registration Statement"), to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as practicable after the filing, and to keep the Registration Statement effective until the earlier of the date that all registrable securities covered by the Registration Statement (i) have been sold thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act ("Rule 144") or (ii) may be sold without restriction under Rule 144 (including the volume and manner of sale limitations set forth in Rule 144). Promissory Note The Promissory Note bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum, with interest payable semi-annually on the last business day of each June and December. The Promissory Note matures on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date. The Promissory Note is secured by a first priority security interest in 33.33 million shares of Class A common stock held by AFD. AFD may prepay all or any portion of the principal at any time without premium or penalty, subject to one business day's notice and a minimum prepayment amount of $1.0 million. Any material amendment, modification or waiver of the Promissory Note requires the approval of a majority of the disinterested directors on the Issuer's Board of Directors (the "Board"). Director Appointment Agreement On May 11, 2026, the Issuer, AFD and Jonah Peretti, LLC entered into a Director Appointment Agreement (as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1, dated May 22, 2026, the "Director Appointment Agreement"), pursuant to which, effective as of the Closing Date, the Board will be expanded from four to nine directors. Pursuant to the Director Appointment Agreement, (A) AFD has the right (i) as of the Closing Date to appoint five directors and (ii) following the 2026 annual meeting of the Issuer's shareholders (the "2026 Annual Meeting") (x) to appoint one additional director (at such time Gregory Coleman shall resign), (y) to appoint two-thirds of the Board provided AFD beneficially owns 40% or more of the Issuer's then-outstanding Class A common stock and (z) to appoint a majority of the directors provided AFD beneficially owns less than 40% but equal to or more than 20% of the Issuer's then-outstanding Class A common stock and (B) Jonah Peretti, LLC has the right to appoint one director, who initially will be Mr. Peretti. Following the expiration of Mr. Peretti's current term as a Class I director of the Board and if the Issuer is required to have a majority of independent directors pursuant to applicable listing rules, Mr. Peretti's appointee will be independent. In addition, each of AFD and Jonah Peretti, LLC has agreed pursuant to the Director Appointment Agreement to vote all shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock beneficially owned by such party in favor of the other party's director nominees. The Director Appointment Agreement terminates (A) with respect to Jonah Peretti, LLC's director appointment rights, on the earlier of (i) such time as Mr. Peretti is no longer serving as an officer or director of the Issuer or any subsidiary of the Issuer due to his removal or termination for cause or voluntary resignation, (ii) such time as Mr. Peretti beneficially owns less than 60% of the Class A common stock beneficially owned by Mr. Peretti as of the Closing Date and (iii) such time as Mr. Peretti beneficially owns less than 0.2% of the total shares of the outstanding Class A common stock and (B) with respect to AFD's director appointment rights, at such time as AFD owns less than 5% of the then-outstanding Class A common stock. On the Closing Date, Mr. Folks was appointed as Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, a Class I director and Chairman of the Board. In addition, the Board appointed Chris Malone, Eric Gould, Sydnie Karras and Terence Hill to serve as directors in accordance with the terms of the Director Appointment Agreement.
