Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Purchase Agreement

On October 30, 2024, Byborg entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Issuer pursuant to which Byborg agreed to purchase (either itself or through an affiliate) 14,900,000 newly issued shares of Common Stock of the Issuer for a price of $1.50 per share, for a total purchase price of $22.35 million (the “Private Placement”). Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, neither Byborg nor any of its affiliates may transfer any of the shares of Common Stock purchased in the Private Placement to any unaffiliated person until the one-year anniversary of the closing of the Private Placement. The Issuer also granted certain limited registration rights to Byborg and its affiliates for registration of the resale of the shares of Common Stock purchased in the Private Placement after the one-year anniversary of the closing.

---

In addition, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to increase the size of its Board of Directors (the “Board”) from five to seven directors as of January 1, 2025. As of that date, the Board will add a new independent director mutually agreed by the Issuer and Byborg, and Byborg will have the right to nominate one individual to serve on the Board. Byborg will retain such right until such time as it beneficially owns less than 7,450,000 shares of Common Stock. Prior to the closing of the Private Placement, Byborg assigned its rights under the Purchase Agreement to The Million, and Issuer delivered the shares of Common Stock to The Million at the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement on November 5, 2024.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Standstill Agreement

On October 30, 2024, Byborg entered into a standstill agreement (the “Standstill Agreement”) with the Issuer. Pursuant to the Standstill Agreement, among other limitations, Byborg and its affiliates agreed not to (i) join or participate in a “group” (as defined in Sections 13(d)(3) and 13(g)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) with any third party, or (ii) purchase shares of Common Stock that would result in Byborg and its affiliates owning in excess of 29.99% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock in the aggregate following any acquisition of Common Stock, in each case, during the standstill period. The standstill period means any time from and after October 30, 2024 in which Byborg and its affiliates collectively own, beneficially or of record, more than 14.9% of the total outstanding shares of Common Stock.

The foregoing description of the Standstill Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Standstill Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 4 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Planned Licensing Agreement

Byborg and the Issuer have also signed a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) providing that the parties will work together on an exclusive basis to negotiate and execute a definitive agreement pursuant to which Byborg would license certain of the Issuer’s digital intellectual property and operate certain digital businesses. The Issuer and Byborg expect to enter into definitive agreements prior to year-end. In addition, pursuant to the non-binding LOI, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional equity of the Issuer pursuant to a subsequent purchase agreement with the Issuer or otherwise, subject to the terms of the Standstill Agreement, upon such terms as to be negotiated with the Issuer in connection with the negotiation of the licensing agreement.
