Ms. Lopker

The Lopker Family Foundation

The Estate

Ms. Lopker is the sole personal representative of the Estate. Ms. Lopker is President and a director of the Issuer. Ms. Lopker is an officer and board member of the Lopker Family Foundation and as a result may be deemed to have voting and/or dispositive power with respect to the shares beneficially owned by the Lopker Family Foundation.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Original Statement is hereby amended and supplemented with the following:

On October 22, 2021 Ms. Lopker made a charitable donation of 235,181 shares of QADA (the “Gifted Shares”) to the Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund, a Massachusetts charitable trust (“Fidelity”).

Ms. Lopker has no ongoing voting or dispositive power over the Gifted Shares donated to Fidelity, and no other Reporting Person has any authority to vote or dispose of the Gifted Shares donated to Fidelity. Therefore, none of the filers of this Amendment No. 5 beneficially owns any of such Gifted Shares donated to Fidelity within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Act and such shares are not included in this Amendment No. 5.

In connection with the charitable donation, on October 19, 2021 Fidelity executed a joinder (the “Joinder”) to the support agreement originally entered into by Issuer, Project Quick Parent, LLC (“Parent”), Ms. Lopker, The Lopker Living Trust, and the Estate (the “Support Agreement”). Pursuant to the Joinder, Fidelity agrees to vote and take, and refrain from taking, certain actions with respect to the Gifted Shares on the terms set forth in the Support Agreement, as if it were an original party thereto.

The foregoing description of the Support Agreement and the Joinder is only a summary, and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full texts of the Support Agreement and the Joinder, which are filed as Exhibits B and C respectively hereto, and are incorporated herein by reference.
