CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains forward-looking statements. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Report, including statements concerning possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events or results of operations, and any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this Report are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Report and are subject to a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including the risks, uncertainties and assumptions described under the section in our Registration StatementAnnual Report on Form S-110-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 16, 2022March 23, 2023 titled “Risk Factors.” These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks, including, without limitation, the following:

the ability to maintain the listing of the shares of Common Stock and Warrants on Nasdaq;
the ability to maintain the listing of the shares of Common Stock and Warrants on Nasdaq;

litigation, complaints, product liability claims and/or adverse publicity;

litigation, complaints, product liability claims and/or adverse publicity;
privacy and data protection laws, privacy or data breaches, or the loss of data;

the impact of changes in customer spending patterns, customer preferences, local, regional and national economic conditions, crime, weather, demographic trends and employee availability; and

privacy and data protection laws, privacy or data breaches, or the loss of data;
our ability to fulfill the obligations and comply with the covenants under the Indenture governing our Convertible Notes; and

other risks and uncertainties included in this Report, including those under the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

our ability to realize the benefits of the Business Combination (as defined below);
the impact of changes in customer spending patterns, customer preferences, local, regional and national economic conditions, crime, weather, demographic trends and employee availability; and
the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond our control, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this Report will prove to be accurate. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.

You should read this Report completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this subsection to “we,” “our,” “Nogin” and the “Company” refer to the business and operations of Legacy Nogin (as defined below) and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the Business Combination (as defined below) and to Nogin, Inc. (formerly known as Software Acquisition Group Inc. III) and its consolidated subsidiaries following the consummation of the Business Combination.

Reverse Stock Split

On March 18, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a one-for-twenty reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The reverse stock split became effective upon filing of a certificate of amendment to the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation on March 28, 2023. Upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, (i) every twenty shares of outstanding Common Stock were reclassified and combined into one share of Common Stock and (ii) the number of Common Stock for which each outstanding option and warrant to purchase Common Stock is exercisable was proportionately decreased and the exercise price per share of Common Stock of each outstanding option and warrant to purchase Common Stock was proportionately increased. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. The total number of authorized shares of Common Stock and the par value per share of Common Stock did not change as a result of the reverse stock split. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in these financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect the reverse stock split and exercise price of each outstanding option and warrant as if the transaction had occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.

Business Combination

On August 26, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed its previously announced Business Combination pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of February 14, 2022 (as amended on April 19, 2022 and August 26, 2022), by and among the Company (formerly known as Software Acquisition Group Inc. III (“SWAG”)), Nuevo Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of SWAG (“Merger Sub”), and Branded Online, Inc. dba Nogin (“Legacy Nogin”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into Legacy Nogin, with Legacy Nogin surviving the Business Combination as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Business Combination” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”).

While Legacy Nogin became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Legacy Nogin was deemed to be the acquirer in the Business Combination for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in which case the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company represent a continuation of Legacy Nogin and the issuance of common stock and cash consideration in exchange for the net assets of SWAG recognized at historical costs and no recognition of goodwill or other intangible assets. Operations prior to the Business Combination are those of Legacy Nogin and all share and per-share data included in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Business Combination.

As a result of the Business Combination, equityholdersequity holders of Legacy Nogin received approximately 54.32.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”)Stock and cash consideration of $15.0$15.0 million, of which $10.9$10.9 million was deferred on the Closing Date (Note 9).

The treatment of the Business Combination as a reverse recapitalization was based on the stockholders of Legacy Nogin holding the majority of voting interests of the Company, Legacy Nogin’s existing management team serving primarily as the initial management team of the Company, Legacy Nogin’s appointment of the majority of the initial board of directors of the Company and Legacy Nogin’s operations comprising the ongoing operations of the Company.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company received proceeds of approximately $58.8$58.8 million from SWAG’s trust account, net of redemptions by SWAG’s public shareholders, as well as approximately $65.5$65.5 million in proceeds from the contemporaneous issuance of convertible notes7.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”). The aggregate cash raised has been and will be used for general business purposes, the paydown of Legacy Nogin’s outstanding debt, the payment of transaction costs and the payment of the cash consideration.

The following table reconciles the elements of the Business Combination to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and the condensed consolidated statements of convertible redeemable preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit for the nine months ended September 30, 2022:

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, which are included in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on September 16, 2022. The interim results for the nine months ended September 30, 20222023, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the period ending December 31, 2022,2023, or for any future annual or interim periods.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our primary requirements for short-term liquidity and capital are working capital, inventory management, capital expenditures, public company costs and general corporate needs. We expect these needs to continue as we develop and grow our business. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our levels of revenue, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, successful customer acquisitions, the results of business initiatives, the timing of new product introductions and overall economic conditions.

Prior to the Business Combination, the Company’s available liquidity and operations were financed through equity contributions, a line of credit, promissory notes and cash flow from operations. Subsequent to the Business Combination,Moving forward, the Company expects to fund operations through equity contributions and cash flow from operations.

In the third quarter of 2022, the impacts from the Company's inventory purchases, which began in 2021, were adversely affected by supply chain challenges which have led to lower revenue and cash flow from operating activities. To address the resulting cash flow challenges, the Company has implemented a comprehensive cost reduction and performance improvement program, including reduced headcount and elimination of certain discretionary and general and administrative expenses.

As of September 30, 2022, we had cash and restricted cash of $15.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively, which consists of amounts held as bank deposits. The Company believes its existing cash and restricted cash, together with the cash we expect to generate from

7


future operations, will be sufficient to support working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. The Company believes it has the ability to continue as a going concern. However, becauseBecause we are in the growth stage of our business and operate in an emerging field of technology, we expect to continue to invest in research and development and expand our sales and marketing teams worldwide. We are likely to require additional capital to respond to technological advancements, competitive dynamics or technologies, customer demands, business opportunities, challenges, acquisitions or unforeseen circumstances and in either the short-term or long-term may determine to engage in equity or debt financings or enter into credit facilities for other reasons. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has sustained recurring losses, negative working capital and negative cash flows from operations and had a cash balance of $1.9 million as of September 30, 2023. In particular,addition, the widespread COVID-19 pandemic has resultedCompany did not meet its financial covenants during the September 30, 2023, reporting period, and is in discussions with its convertible noteholders with respect to future activities and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, reducingoutcomes. These conditions provide substantial doubt about our ability to access capital. If wecontinue as a going concern for at least twelve months from the date that these consolidated financial statements are unableissued.

On April 6, 2023, the Company consummated the April 2023 Offering and received gross proceeds of approximately $22 million in connection with the offering before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses.


In addition, the Company is currently executing on various strategies to raise additional fundsimprove available cash balances, liquidity and cash generated from operations, including strategic growth plans, ongoing comprehensive cost reduction and performance improvement programs, reduced headcount and elimination of certain discretionary and general and administrative expenses, and taking steps to improve the operational efficiency of our fulfillment operations. However, our failure to obtain financing as and when or on the terms desired,needed could have significant negative consequences for our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020,operations. Our future capital requirements and the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. At the onsetadequacy of COVID-19, the Company anticipated an impact to the business, its financial conditions and results of operations. The Company applied for and was granted a Paycheck Protection Plan (“PPP”) loan. In addition, the Company has taken a number of actions to mitigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business. The Company witnessed a large shift in consumer spending from retail stores to online stores, and as a result, there were no significant declines in revenue for the periods presented. However, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemicavailable funds will depend on future developments, including the duration and spreadmany factors, many of the pandemic. These developments and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial markets and overall economywhich are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.beyond our control.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company prepared these estimates based on the most current and best available information, but actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the financial statements include, but are not limited to, the allowance for credit losses and revenue recognition, including variable consideration for estimated reserves for returns and other allowances.allowances, forecasts and other assumptions used in valuations. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgementsjudgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Accounts Receivable, Net

The allowance for doubtful accountscredit losses was $425$288 thousand as of September 30, 20222023, and $406$425 thousand as of December 31, 2021.2022.

Inventory

Inventory is comprised entirely of finished goods for resale. The reserve for returns was $326$45 thousand as of September 30, 20222023, and $532$535 thousand as of December 31, 2021.2022.

Concentration of Risks

Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, restricted cash and accounts receivables. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions. Amounts on deposit at these institutions are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At various times, the Company has had bank deposits in excess of the FDIC'sFDIC’s insurance limit. The Company has not experienced any losses in its cash accounts to date. Management believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. As of September 30, 2023, receivables from two customers amounted to $320 thousand (or 14% of accounts receivable) and $207 thousand (or 9% of accounts receivable), respectively. As of December 31, 2022, receivables from two customers amounted to $0.7 million$771 thousand (or 8%44% of accounts receivable) and $7.7 million$153 thousand (or 80%9% of accounts receivable). As of December 31, 2021, receivables, respectively.

Right-of-use Assets and Lease Liabilities

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02 and all subsequent amendments, collectively codified in ASC Topic 842, “Leases” (“ASC 842”), using the current period adjustment method. Accordingly, comparative period financial information was not restated for the effects of adopting ASC 842.

The significant practical expedients we adopted include the following:

We elected the practical expedient to apply the transition approach as of the beginning of the period of adoption and not restate comparative periods;


We elected to utilize the “package of three” expedients, as defined in ASC 842, whereby we did not reassess whether contracts existing prior to the effective date contain leases, nor did we reassess lease classification determinations nor whether initial direct costs qualify for capitalization;

We elected the practical expedient to not capitalize any leases with initial terms of twelve months or less on our consolidated balance sheet;

For all underlying classes of leased assets, we elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components; and

We elected not to use hindsight in determining the lease term for lease contracts that have historically been renewed or amended.

As of the date of adoption on January 1, 2022, the impact of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of a right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”) and lease liability for our operating leases on our consolidated balance sheets of approximately $13.0 million and $15.1 million, respectively.

Lease liabilities were recognized based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the remaining lease term. ROU assets were recognized utilizing the lease liability as of January 1, 2022, adjusted for deferred rent recorded as under ASC 840 operating lease related balances. As the Company’s operating lease agreements do not provide a rate implicit in the lease, we discounted the remaining lease payments using an estimated incremental borrowing rate, which was based on the information available at the adoption date. Operating lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease costs such as common area costs and other operating costs are expensed as incurred. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material net impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows.

Our operating leases primarily consist of office space, distribution centers and equipment used within our operations. Most of the leases have lease terms ranging from three to eight years, although the terms and conditions of our leases can vary significantly from lease to lease.

Long-lived Assets

There was no impairment of long-lived assets at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Goodwill

Given the Company’s constrained liquidity and working capital, the Company has been unable to execute certain obligations which have raised substantial doubt regarding the future viability of the affected assets and their operations. The Company performed a quantitative impairment analysis as of September 30, 2023, and recognized an impairment of goodwill of $6.7 million at September 30, 2023. There was no impairment of goodwill at December 31, 2022.

Intangibles

Intangible assets include acquired technology, trade names and other intangibles. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the asset, which range from five to fifteen years. Indefinite lived assets such as trade names are expected to generate cash flows indefinitely. Consequently, these assets were classified as indefinite-lived intangibles and accordingly are not amortized but reviewed for impairment annually, or sooner under certain circumstances. There was no impairment of indefinite-lived assets at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480 and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own shares of common stock,Common Stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding. For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter until settlement. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the condensed statements of operations.


Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (ASC 740). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2022.2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since its inception.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is accounted for using Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

In accordance with ASC Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

Identification of a contract with a customer,

Identification of a contract with a customer,

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract,

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract,

Determination of the transaction price,

Determination of the transaction price,

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and

Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.

Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods that will be transferred that are both capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the goods is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Performance obligations include establishing and maintaining customer online stores, providing access to the Company’s e-commerce platform, customer service support, photography services, warehousing, and fulfillment. Most of the contracts of the Company with customers contain multiple promises, which may result in multiple performance obligations, while others are combined into one performance obligation. For contracts with customers, the Company accounts for individual promises separately if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. The Company determines the standalone

9


selling prices based on its overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and other factors.

The Company has concluded the sale of goods and related shipping and handling on behalf of our customers are accounted for as a single performance obligation, while the expenses incurred for actual shipping charges are included in cost of sales.

The Company’s revenue is mainly commission fees derived from contractually committed gross revenue processed by customers on the Company'sCompany’s e-commerce platform. The Company is acting as an agent in these arrangements and customers do not have the contractual right to take possession of the Company'sCompany’s software. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to ultimately receive in exchange for those promised goods, net of expected discounts for sales promotions and customary allowances.

CaaS Revenuerevenue is recognized on a net basis from maintaining e-commerce platforms and online orders, as the Company is engaged primarily in an agency relationship with its customers and earns defined amounts based on the individual contractual terms for the customer and the Company does not take possession of the customers'customers’ inventory or any credit risks relating to the products sold.


Variable consideration is included in revenue for potential product returns. The Company uses an estimate to constrain revenue for the expected variable consideration at each period end. The Company reviews and updates its estimates and related accruals of variable consideration each period based on the terms of the agreements, historical experience, and expected levels of returns. Any uncertainties in the ultimate resolution of variable consideration due to factors outside of the Company’s influence are typically resolved within a short timeframe therefore not requiring any additional constraint on the variable consideration. The estimated reserve for returns is included on the balance sheet in accrued expenses with changes to the reserve in revenue on the accompanying statement of operations. The reserve for returns as of September 30, 20222023, was $0.7$0.3 million and as of December 31, 20212022 was $$1.4 million.1.8

 million.

In most cases the Company acts as the merchant of record, resulting in a due to client liability (discussed below). However, in some instances, the Company may perform services without being the merchant of record in which case there is a receivable from the customer.

Payment terms and conditions are generally consistent for customers, including credit terms to customers ranging from seven days to 60 days, and the Company’s contracts do not include any significant financing component. The Company performs credit evaluations of customers and evaluates the need for allowances for potential credit losses based on historical experience, as well as current and expected general economic conditions.

Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and, therefore, are excluded from net revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Commerce as a Service

Commerce-as-a-Service

As noted above, the Company’s main revenue stream is CaaS revenue in which it receives commission fees derived from contractually committed gross revenue processed by customers on the Company'sCompany’s e-commerce platform. Consideration for online sales is collected directly from the end customer by the Company and amounts not owed to the Company are remitted to the customer. Revenue is recognized on a net basis from maintaining e-commerce platforms and online orders, as the Company is engaged in an agency relationship with its customers and earns defined amounts based on the individual contractual terms for the customer and the Company does not take possession of the customers'customers’ inventory or any credit risks relating to the products sold.

Product sales

Under twocertain licensee agreements, the Company is the owner of inventory and reseller of record. As a result, the Company is the principal in sales to end customers and records these revenues on a gross basis at a point in time.

Fulfillment services

Revenue for business-to-business (“B2B”) fulfillment services is recognized on a gross basis either at a point in time or over a point in time. For example, inbound and outbound services are recognized when the service is complete, while monthly storage services are recognized over the service period.

Marketing services

Revenue for marketing services is recognized on a gross basis as marketing services are complete. Performance obligations include providing marketing and program management such as procurement and implementation.

Shipping services

Revenue for shipping services is recognized on a gross basis as shipments are completed and products are shipped to end customers.

Set up and implementation services

The Company provides set up and implementation services for new clients. The revenue is recognized on a gross basis at the

10


completion of the service, with the unearned amounts received for incomplete services recorded as deferred revenue, if any.

Other services

Revenue for other services such as photography, business to customer (“B2C”) fulfillment, customer service, development and web design are reimbursable costs and recognized on the gross basis, and are services rendered as part of the performance obligations to clients for which an online platform and online orders are managed. All reimbursable costs are the responsibility of the Company as the Company uses such services to fulfill its performance obligations.

Cost of services

Cost of services reflects costs directly related to providing services under the master service agreements with customers, which primarily includes service provider costs directly related to processing revenue transactions, marketing expenses and shipping and handling expenses which correspond to marketing and shipping revenues, as well as credit card merchant fees. Cost of services is exclusive of depreciation and amortization and general salaries and related expenses.

Cost of product revenue

Cost of product revenue reflects costs directly related to selling inventory acquired from select clients, which primarily includes product cost, warehousing costs, fulfillment costs, credit card merchant fees and third-party royalty costs. Cost of product revenue is exclusive of depreciation and amortization and general salaries and related expenses.


Due to Clients

Due to clients consists of amounts payable to clients pertaining to the client’s last month pro rata shares of revenue earned and collected by the Company, less any returns and any expenses incurred by the Company on behalf of the clients. In most cases, the Company acts as the merchant and seller of record and thus directly collects the funds from sales on the online store. As such, at the end of each month, there is an amount owed to the Company’s clients in net of the Company’s fees, and expenses incurred on the client’s behalf.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company applies the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which provides a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and expands on required disclosures about fair value measurement.

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820 to all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis.

The Company defines fair value as an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

In determining fair value, the Company utilized valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counter party credit risk and nonperformance risk in its assessment of fair value.

The carrying value of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes payable, and accounts payable, approximate the fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value as the interest rate on the Company’s secured credit facility and certain other debt has a variable component, which is reflective of the market.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASC Topic 842), a comprehensive new lease recognition standard which will supersede previous existing lease recognition guidance. Under the standard, lessees will need to recognize a right-of use asset and a lease liability for leases with terms greater than twelve months. The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments. The asset will be based on the liability, subject to adjustment, such as for initial direct costs. For income statement purposes, leases will be required to be classified as either operating or finance. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense (similar to current operating leases) while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to current capital leases). The standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and requires a modified retrospective adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on the financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses” (Topic 326). The FASB issued this update to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The amendments in this update replace the existing guidance of incurred loss impairment methodology with an approach that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses,” which clarifies the scope of guidance in the ASU 2016-13. The updated guidanceThis update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023.with amendments generally applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption ofadopted this standard will have on the financial statements.

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating taxes during the quarters and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and changes in tax laws or rates, as well as clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. ASU 2019-12 isupdate effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2022. The Company has adopted this guidance2023, and there wasit did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06 Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which improves Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity and is expected to improve financial reporting associated with accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it.

The ASU also simplifies the diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted as of January 1, 2021. The Company early adopted the provisions of ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2022. There was no impact to the Company’s financial statements as a result of adoption.

Other recently issued accounting standards are not expected to have a material effect on the Company'sCompany’s financial statements.

Convertible Notes and Indenture

On April 19, 2022, the Company, certain guarantors named therein (the “Notes Guarantors”) and certain investors named therein (each, a “Subscriber” and collectively, the “Subscribers”), entered into subscription agreements (each, a “PIPE Subscription Agreement” and collectively, the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Subscribers immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination (i) up to an aggregate principal amount of $75.0$75.0 million of 7.00%7.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”) at par value of the notes and (ii) up to an aggregate of 1.5 million warrants (the “PIPE Warrants”) with each whole PIPE Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock

On August 26, 2022, immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), the Company issued $65.5$65.5 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes and, as contemplated by the PIPE Subscription Agreements, the Company, the Note Guarantors and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, entered into an Indenture governing the Convertible Notes (the “Indenture”). The Convertible Notes were offered in a private placement under the Securities Act, pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreements. The Convertible Notes will mature on September 1, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”), unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms, and will accrue interest at a rate of 7.00%7.00% per annum, payable in cash. The Convertible Notes may be converted at any time (in whole or in part) into shares of Common Stock, at the option of the holder of such Convertible Note, based on the applicable conversion rate at such time. The initial conversion price is approximately $11.50$230.00 per share of Common Stock, based on an initial conversion rate of 86.95654.3478 shares of Common Stock per $1,000$1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes. For conversions with a conversion date on or after the first anniversary of the closing of the Transactions and prior to the regular record date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, the conversion consideration will also include an interest make-whole payment equal to the remaining scheduled payments of interest on the Convertible Note being converted through the Maturity Date. The Company will be able to elect to make such interest make-whole payment in cash or in Common Stock, subject to certain conditions. The conversion rate is subject to adjustments set forth in the Indenture, including conversion rate resets (x) on August 27, 2023, September 26, 2023 and September 26, 2024 and (y) following the consummation of certain equity and equity-linked offerings by the Company and sales of certain equity and equity-linked securities by certain shareholders of the Company. On August 27, 2023, the conversion rate will reset to the greater of (i) the then-current conversion rate and (ii) if the Standby Capital VWAP Sale Price (as defined below) is less than or equal to $7.50,$150.00, the quotient of (x) $1,000$1,000 and (ii)(y) the volume weighted average sale price of shares of Common Stock sold under the Standby Agreement (as defined below) (the “Standby Capital VWAP Sale Price”). As of September 30, 2022,2023, the Standby Capital VWAP Sale Price was $$35.20.

2.40.

Each holder of a Convertible Note will havehas the right to cause the Post-Combination Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of the Convertible Notes held by such holder upon the occurrence of a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) at a price equal to (i) on or before September 26, 2023, 100% of the original principal amount of such Convertible Note, and (ii) from and after September 26, 2023, 100% of the accreted principal amount applicable at such time pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest.


The Indenture includes restrictive covenants that, among other things, require the Company to maintain a minimum level of liquidity on a consolidated basis and limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur indebtedness above certain thresholds or to issue preferred stock, to make certain restricted payments, to dispose of certain material assets and engage in other asset sales, subject to reinvestment rights, to pay certain advisory fees in connection to the Transactions and the transactions contemplated by the PIPE Subscription Agreements above a certain threshold, and other customary covenants with respect to the collateral securing the obligations created by the Convertible Notes and the Indenture, including the entry into security documents (in each case, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture); provided that the covenants with respect to (i) the making of restricted payments, (ii) the incurrence of indebtedness, (iii) the disposition of certain material assets and asset sales, (iv) liquidity, (v) the payment of advisory fees and (vi) the collateral securing the obligations created by the Convertible Notes and the Indenture shall terminate once less than 15% of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes are outstanding. The liquidity covenant would terminate if the Company achieves $175$175 million in consolidated revenue in the preceding four fiscal quarters. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries

14


will serve as Notes Guarantors that jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guarantee the obligations under the Convertible Notes and the Indenture. The Indenture also requires certain future subsidiaries of the Post-Combination Company, if any, to become Notes Guarantors. This covenant will terminate once less than 15% of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes are outstanding. The Indenture also includes customary events of default and related provisions for potential acceleration of the Convertible Notes.

If the Company does not have an effective registration statement on file with the SEC within 90 days of the Closing Date, registering the underlying shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, or fails to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, then additional interest would accrue on the outstanding principal of the Convertible Notes at a rate of (a) 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days commencing on the first business day following a ten business day grace period and (b) 0.50% per annum thereafter, in each case, until the Company cures the lapse of effectiveness. The Company accounts for such additional interest in accordance with ASC subtopic 825-20, Registration Payment Arrangements (“ASC 825-20”). ASC 825-20 specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument, should be separately recognized and accounted for as a contingency in accordance with ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies. The Company recorded no amount for this contingency at issuance of the Convertible Notes, nor as of September 30, 2022 as the likelihood of making such registration payments was remote at each date.

The Company elected to account for the Convertible Notes under the fair value option of accounting upon issuance of the Convertible Notes. At issuance the Company recognized the fair value of the Convertible Notes of $65.1$65.1 million with the remaining $0.4$0.4 million of proceeds received allocated to the PIPE Warrants. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Convertible Notes was $74.9were $60.8 million and $62.5 million, respectively, of which $0.5$378 thousand and $1.6 million, respectively, representing accrued interest, is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The lossDuring the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the gain on the increase in fair value of the Convertible Notes duringwas $2 million and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022interest expense was $9.8$3.4 million, of which $0.6 million is included in interest expense, which is recognized based on the effective interest method, and $method.9.2

 million included in the change in fair value of convertible notes on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The difference between the amount due at maturity of $73.8 million, which is due on September 1, 2026, and the fair value of the Convertible Notes as of September 30, 2022 is $1.1 million.

The primary reason for electing the fair value option is for simplification and cost-benefit considerations of accounting for the Convertible Notes (the hybrid financial instrument) at fair value in its entirety versus bifurcation of the embedded derivatives. The fair value was determined using a binomial lattice valuation model. The significant inputs to the valuation of the Convertible Notes at fair value are Level 3 inputs since they are not directly observable. The fair value was determined using a binomial lattice valuation model.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model to value the Common Warrants and Tenor Warrants at issuance and as of September 30, 2023. The Black-Scholes model provides the theoretical estimate of the price of European style option, considering the price of the underlying stock, strike price, time to expiration, risk-free rate, and volatility. The Company utilized the following weighted average inputs as of April issuance and September 30, 2023.

  April 6,
2023
  September 30,
2023
 
Underlying price $1.91  $0.54 
Strike price/exercise price  3.00   3.00 
Expected life  5.00   4.52 
Risk-free rate  3.37%  4.65%
Volatility  96.23%  102.94%

The Company utilized the following steps to establish the inputs for the Black-Scholes model:

- Underlying price– The underlying price was based on the VWAP of the Company.

- Strike price/exercise price – The exercise price was based on the warrant agreements.

- Expected life – The expected life is calculated as the remaining life of the warrants.

- Risk-free rate – Risk-free rate was the linearly interpolated yield for the expected life based on Treasury Yield.

- Volatility – The volatility was based on the volatilities of the group peer companies.

The fair value as of September 30, 2023 of one Common Warrant or one Tenor Warrant was $0.26. The fair value of the Common Warrants and Tenor Warrants liability was $2.0 million and was recorded in other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

9.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company applies the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which provides a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and expands on required disclosures about fair value measurement.

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820 to all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis.

The Company defines fair value as an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

In determining fair value, the Company utilized valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counter party credit risk and nonperformance risk in its assessment of fair value.

The carrying value of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, such as cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes payable, and accounts payable, approximate the fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these instruments. As of September 30, 2022, the Company no longer has recurring measurements for warrant liability. Further, theThe Company has elected to apply the fair value option of accounting for its warrant liability, Convertible Notes and equity investments in unconsolidated affiliates. The Company is required to present the fair value of the Standby Agreement derivative liability each reporting period.

Operating Leases

19.OPERATING LEASES

The Company has entered into lease agreements for offices and warehouses located in California.California and Pennsylvania.

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02 and all subsequent amendments, collectively codified in ASC 842, using the current period adjustment method. Accordingly, comparative period financial information was not restated for the effects of adopting ASC 842.

As of September 30,the date of adoption on January 1, 2022, the monthlyimpact of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of a ROU asset and lease liability for our operating leases on our consolidated balance sheets of approximately $13.0 million and $15.1 million, respectively.

Lease liabilities were recognized based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the remaining lease term. ROU assets were recognized utilizing the lease liability as of January 1, 2022 adjusted for certain ASC 840 operating lease related balances. As the leases range from approximately $36 thousand to approximately $124 thousand andCompany’s operating lease agreements do not provide a rate implicit in the leases expirelease, we discounted the remaining lease payments using an estimated incremental borrowing rate, which was based on the information available at various times through November 2028. Some of the leases contain renewal options.

Minimum rent payments under all operating leases areadoption date. Operating lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease costs such as common area costs and other operating costs are expensed as incurred. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the lease including any periods of free rent, and any difference between rental payments and straight-line is recognized as deferred rent in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material net impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows.

Rent

Our operating leases primarily consist of office space, distribution centers and equipment used within our operations. Most of the leases have lease terms ranging from three to eight years, although the terms and conditions of our leases can vary significantly from lease to lease.

These indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make.

20.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 5th, 2023, the Company entered into a contribution agreement to contribute its interest in Modcloth and IPCO to a newly established joint venture entity, BiCoastal Alliance, LLC, of which the Company will have 50% ownership interest. Subject to certain closing conditions, the contribution is expected to be completed in the 4th quarter of 2023.

On November 16, 2023, Nogin, Inc. (“Nogin”) entered into a promissory note with B. Riley Securities, Inc., in its capacity as the lender (the “Lender”) pursuant to which Nogin borrowed $8,530,000. Borrowings thereunder must be paid on the earliest to occur of (i) June 30, 2025 and (ii) the date on which acceleration occurs thereunder as a result of certain events of default. Interest on the amounts borrowed accrues at 15% per annum and is payable quarterly. The promissory note contains covenants that must be performed by Nogin including those that are contained in the indenture governing Nogin’s existing convertible secured notes with respect to (i) Exchange Act Reports; (ii) compliance and default certificates); (iii) restricted payments; (iv) collateral; (v) incurrence of indebtedness and issuance of preferred stock; and (vi) additional guarantees. The borrowings are secured pursuant to a security agreement between Nogin and the Lender dated November 16, 2023 pursuant to which the Lender was granted a security interest in all right, title, and interest of each grantor in certain of each grantor’s assets including all accounts, chattel paper, commercial tort claims, deposit accounts, documents, equipment, inventory, fixtures, goods, general intangibles (including, without limitation, patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, and copyrights, and all grantor’s rights in and under any registrations or applications to register any of the foregoing, and all grantor’s goodwill, instruments, investment property, letter of credit rights and money, and all other assets of such grantor, then owned and existing or thereafter acquired or arising and wherever located, and all proceeds of the foregoing.

On November 16, 2023, Nogin, the Lender, B. Riley Principal Investments, LLC, as plan sponsor, holders of 90% of Nogin’s convertible secured notes entered into a restructuring support agreement (the “Agreement”).

The Agreement provides for the sale of Nogin and contemplates that Nogin will file a voluntary petition for bankruptcy no later than December 1, 2023. In connection therewith it is contemplated that the plan sponsor would provide a debtor-in-possession loan which, together with the loan described above, would be equitized into 100% ownership of Nogin or be used to acquire substantially all of Nogin’s assets. The parties have agreed to support the proposed restructuring including debtor-in-possession financing. The contemplated restructuring would result in a payment of $15,000,000 to the convertible note holders in satisfaction of their claims together with a priority claim on the proceeds of any litigation proceeds up to the amount of their secured claim.

Nogin and its board of directors may refrain from taking any actions or take any actions inconsistent with the Agreement if there is a determination that acting or refraining to act would be inconsistent with applicable law including any fiduciary duty obligations.

The contemplated restructuring is unlikely to result in any distribution to holders of Nogin’s common stock in their capacity as such and Nogin’s existing common stock and warrants are likely to become worthless.

On November 16, 2023, Nogin received a notice of noncompliance from Nasdaq regarding its listing standards given Nogin did not file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 on its original due date as required pursuant to Nasdaq listing rule 5250(c)(1). On November 15, 2023, Nogin did file a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 within the prescribed time period under the rules promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Recent Developments

Business Combination

Notice of Noncompliance from Nasdaq

On February 14, 2022,September 5, 2023, the Company entered intoreceived a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Merger AgreementListing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, based on the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, for the last 30 consecutive trading days, the Company no longer complies with Merger Subthe minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”), and Legacy Nogin, pursuantNasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to which Merger Submeet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive trading days.

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq Global Market. Pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company has been provided an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Common Stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days prior to March 4, 2024, and the Company must otherwise satisfy The Nasdaq Global Market’s requirements for listing.

If the Company does not regain compliance by March 4, 2024, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period if it elects (and meets the listing standards) to transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market to take advantage of the additional compliance period offered on that market. To qualify, the Company would mergebe required, among other things, to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares as well as all other standards for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and into Legacy Nogin,would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period. If the Company does not regain compliance within the compliance period(s), including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, the Common Stock will be subject to delisting.

The Company intends to monitor the bid price of the Common Stock and consider available options to resolve the noncompliance with Legacy Nogin surviving the merger asMinimum Bid Price Requirement. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with The Nasdaq Global Market’s continued listing requirements or that Nasdaq will grant the Company a further extension of time to regain compliance, if applicable.


The Notice is unrelated to the previously disclosed notice received by the Company from Nasdaq on July 10, 2023 regarding the Company’s noncompliance with the market value of publicly held shares requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C).

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. The worldwide spread of COVID-19 has resulted, and is expected to continue to result, in a global slowdown of economic activity which is likely to decrease demand for a broad variety of goods and services, including those provided by our clients, while also disrupting sales channels and advertising and marketing activities for an unknown period until the virus is contained, or economic activity normalizes. Our revenue growth and results of operations have been resilient despite the headwinds created by the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent to which ongoing and future developments related to the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and relatedvaccination measures designed to curb its spread continue to impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations, all of which cannot be predicted with certainty. Many of these ongoing and future developments are beyond our control, including the speed of contagion, the development, distribution and implementation of effective preventative or treatment measures, including vaccines (and vaccination rates), the scope of governmental and other restrictions on travel, discretionary services and other activity, and the public reactions and receptiveness to these developments. See the section entitled “Risk Factors” for further discussion of the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.

At the onset of COVID-19, the Company anticipated an impact to the business, its financial conditions and results of operations. The Company applied for and was granted a Paycheck Protection Plan (“PPP”) loan. In addition, the Company has taken a number of actions to mitigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business. The Company witnessed a large shift in consumer spending from retail stores to online stores, and as a result, there were no significant declines in the periods presented. However, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic. These developments and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial markets and overall economy are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

In 2020, due to COVID-19, the Company implemented a pay reduction of 20% for the majority of our salaried employees. Once the PPP loan was received, the Company removed the pay reduction for the employees who were affected by the pay reduction.

Service revenue

Marketing service revenue—

Commerce-as-a-Service—The Company’s main revenue stream is CaaS revenue in which it receives commission fees derived from contractually committed gross revenue processed by customers on the Company’s e-commerce platform. Consideration for online sales is collected directly from the end customer by the Company and amounts not owed to the Company are remitted to the customer. Revenue is recognized on a net basis from maintaining e-commerce platforms and online orders, as the Company is engaged in an agency relationship with its customers and earns defined amounts based on the individual contractual terms for the customer and the Company does not take possession of the customers’ inventories or any credit risks relating to the products sold.

Revenue for marketing services is recognized on a gross basis as marketing services are complete. Performance obligations include providing marketing and program management such as procurement and implementation.

Other service revenueRevenue for other services such as photography, B2C fulfillment, customer service, development and web design are reimbursable costs and recognized on the gross basis, and are services rendered as part of the performance obligations to clients for which an online platform and online orders are managed. All reimbursable costs are the responsibility of the Company as the Company uses such services to fulfill its performance obligations.

Revenue for shipping services is recognized on a gross basis as shipments are completed and products are shipped to end customers. This historical source of revenue is separate from the Smart Ship offering. Smart Ship is an offering that provides order storage and fulfillment solutions, designed for small to mid-size companies to manage the fulfillment of their orders and would be included as Fulfillment service revenue.

Set up and implementation service revenue—The Company provides set up and implementation services for new clients. The revenue is recognized on a gross basis at the completion of the service, with the unearned amounts received for incomplete services recorded as deferred revenue, if any.

Other service revenueRevenue for other services such as photography, business to customer (“B2C”) fulfillment, customer service, development and web design are reimbursable costs and recognized on the gross basis, and are services rendered as part of the performance obligations to clients for which an online platform and online orders are managed.

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

Identification of a contract with a customer;

Identification of a contract with a customer;
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

Determination of the transaction price;

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract;

Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

Determination of the transaction price;

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract;

Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods that will be transferred that are both capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the goods is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Performance obligations include establishing and maintaining customer online stores, providing access to the Company’s e-commerce platform, customer service support, photography services, warehousing, and fulfillment. Most of the contracts of the Company with customers contain multiple promises, which may result in multiple performance obligations, while others are combined into one performance obligation. For contracts with customers, the Company accounts for individual promises separately if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. The Company determines the standalone selling prices based on its overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and other factors.

The Company has concluded the sale of goods and related shipping and handling on behalf of our customers are accounted for as a single performance obligation, while the expenses incurred for actual shipping charges are included in cost of sales.

The Company’s revenue is mainly commission fees derived from contractually committed gross revenue processed by customers on the Company'sCompany’s e-commerce platform. The Company is acting as an agent in these arrangements and customers do not have the contractual right to take possession of the Company'sCompany’s software. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to ultimately receive in exchange for those promised goods, net of expected discounts for sales promotions and customary allowances.

CaaS Revenuerevenue is recognized on a net basis from maintaining e-commerce platforms and online orders, as the Company is engaged primarily in an agency relationship with its customers and earns defined amounts based on the individual contractual terms for the customer and the Company does not take possession of the customers'customers’ inventory or any credit risks related to the products sold.

Variable consideration is included in revenue for potential product returns. The Company uses an estimate to constrain revenue for the expected variable consideration at each period end. The Company reviews and updates its estimates and related accruals of variable consideration each period based on the terms of the agreements, historical experience, and expected levels of returns. Any uncertainties in the ultimate resolution of variable consideration due to factors outside of the Company’s influence are typically resolved within a short timeframe therefore not requiring any additional constraint on the variable consideration. The estimated reserve for returns is included on the balance sheet in accrued expenses with changes to the reserve in revenue on the accompanying statement of operations.

26


In most cases the Company acts as the merchant of record, resulting in a due to client liability (discussed below). However, in some instances, the Company may perform services without being the merchant of record in which case there is a receivable from the customer.

Payment terms and conditions are generally consistent for customers, including credit terms to customers ranging from seven days to 60 days, and the Company’s contracts do not include any significant financing component. The Company performs credit evaluations of customers and evaluates the need for allowances for potential credit losses based on historical experience, as well as current and expected general economic conditions.

Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and, therefore, are excluded from net revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Cost of product revenue is exclusive of depreciation and amortization and general salaries and related expenses.
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of salaries associated with selling across all our revenue streams.
Research and development. Research and development expense consists primarily of salaries and contractors’ costs associated with research and development of the Company’s technology platform.
General, and administrative. General and administrative expense consists primarily of lease expense, materials and equipment, dues and subscriptions, professional services, and acquisition costs incurred.

Change in Fair Value of Unconsolidated Affiliates

Change in fair value of unconsolidated affiliates represents the fair value adjustments associated with the Company’s ModCloth and IPCOjoint venture investments for which the Company elected to use the fair value option of accounting.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) is mainly related to change in fair value of deferred cash consideration, change in fair value of warrant, debt issuance cost expensed under the fair value option, offset by sublease rental income derived from the sublease of property by the Company as well as gain from settlement of deferred revenue and PPP loan forgiveness.revenue.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

The provision (benefit) for income taxes consist primarily of U.S. federal, state, and foreign income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized with respect to the tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Realization of our deferred tax assets is dependent primarily on the generation of future taxable income. In considering the need for a valuation allowance, we consider our historical, as well as future, projected taxable income along with other objectively verifiable evidence. Objectively verifiable evidence includes our realization of tax attributes, assessment of tax credits and utilization of net operating loss carryforwards during the year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We prepare and present our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, provides investors with additional useful information in evaluating our performance, as these measures are regularly used by security analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. This non-GAAP measure is not intended to be a substitute for any U.S. GAAP financial measure and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry.

We calculate and define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, adjusted to exclude: (1) interest expense, (2) income tax expense, and (3) depreciation and amortization.amortization, (4) severance pay, (5) stock based compensation, (6) facility consolidation expenses, and (7) restructuring cost.

Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not required by or presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, when taken together with our financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance and facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations, or outlook. In particular, we believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA is helpful to our investors as it is a measure used by management in assessing the health of our business and evaluating our operating performance, as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes.

Adjusted EBITDA is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA include that (1) it does not reflect capital commitments to be paid in the future, (2) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect these capital expenditures, (3) it does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us and (4) does not include certain non-recurring cash expenses that we do not believe are representative of our business on a steady-state basis. In addition, our use of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, when evaluating our performance, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial measures, including our net loss and other results stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA, for each of the periods presented (in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary requirements for short-term liquidity and capital are working capital, inventory management, capital expenditures, public company costs and general corporate needs. We expect these needs to continue as we develop and grow our business. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our levels of revenue, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, successful customer acquisitions, the results of business initiatives, the timing of new product introductions and overall economic conditions.

Operating Activities

Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily driven by the activities associated with our CaaS revenue stream, offset by the cash cost of operations, and are significantly influenced by the timing of and fluctuations in receipts from buyers and related payments to our clients. We typically receive cash from the end users of products sold prior to remitting back to our clients. Our collection and payment cycles can vary from period to period.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We regularly review our estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions, which are based upon historical experience and on various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Reported amounts and disclosures may have been different had management used different estimates and assumptions or if different conditions had occurred in the periods presented. Below is a discussion of the policies that we believe may involve a high degree of judgment and complexity.

We believe that the accounting policies disclosed below include estimates and assumptions critical to our business and their application could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In addition to these critical policies, our significant accounting policies are included within Note 2 of our “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included elsewhere in this filing.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, do not bear interest, and primarily represent receivables from consumers and credit card receivables from merchant processors, after performance obligations have been fulfilled. Amounts collected on accounts receivable are included in operating activities in the statements of cash flows.

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses, as deemed necessary, for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In estimating this reserve, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and customers’ financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, and the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any customers with off-balance-sheet credit exposure. The Company writes off accounts receivable balances once the receivables are no longer deemed collectible.

Fair value measurements

Joint Ventures

The Company accounts for joint ventures in accordance with ASC 810-10, “Consolidations,” ASC 323-10, “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures” and ASC 825-10, “Finance“Financial Instruments,” under which the Company’s joint ventures meet the criteria to be accounted for as an equity method investment using the fair value method. As such, the difference between fair value and cash contribution is recorded as a gain to other income in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The joint ventures are subject to fair value assessment each reporting period and the changes in fair value is booked to the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. In valuing joint venture investments, we utilized the valuation from an independent third-party specialist, with input from management, which used a combination of net income and market approaches, with 50% weight to the discounted cash flow method and 25% weigh to each of the guideline public company and transaction methods. Changes in these estimates and assumptions or the relationship between those assumptions impact our valuation as of the valuation date and may have a material impact on the valuation.


Convertible notes

The Company accounts for the Convertible Notes in accordance with ASC 825-10, “Financial Instruments,” under which the Convertible Notes meet the criteria to be accounted for using the fair value method. The Convertible Notes are subject to fair value assessment each reporting period. As such, changes to fair value are recorded in the consolidated income statements to change in fair value of the Convertible Notes. In valuing the Convertible Notes, we utilized the valuation from an independent third-party specialist, which uses a binomial lattice valuation model. Changes in these estimates and assumptions or the relationship between those assumptions impact our valuation as of the valuation date and may have a material impact on the valuation.

Standby Agreement

The Company has entered into a Standby Agreement and the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreement with a Financial Institution (Note 8) which is accounted for as a derivative in its entirety in accordance with ASC 815-10, and the structured payments within the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreement was considered an embedded feature in the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreement that met the definition of a derivative and required bifurcation from the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreement, as it is not clearly and closely related to the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreement and would be accounted for in accordance with ASC 815-10. The Company accounted for the Standby Agreement Derivative acquired at fair value upon the closing of the Business Combination. The Company will continue to account for the Standby Agreement Derivative at fair value each reporting period in accordance with ASC 815-10. The Company engages a third-party valuation specialist to assist with the fair value assessment. The fair value changes is recorded in change in fair value of derivatives on the consolidated statements of operations.

Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480 and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”).815. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the

40


definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own shares of common stock,Common Stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding. For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter until settlement. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We accounted for shares of SWAG Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of SWAG Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption were classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) was classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, the SWAG Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our unaudited condensed balance sheet.Revenue

Net Loss per Common Share

We applied the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Net income per common share, basic and diluted for Class A redeemable common stock was calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, net of applicable taxes, by the weighted average number of shares of Class A redeemable common stock outstanding for the periods. Net income (loss) per common share, basic and diluted, for Class B non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) less income attributable to Class A redeemable common stock, by the weighted average number of shares of Class B non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the periods presented.

Revenue

Revenue is accounted for using Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

In accordance with ASC Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

Identification of a contract with a customer,
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract,
Determination of the transaction price,
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and
Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.

Identification of a contract with a customer,

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract,

Determination of the transaction price,

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and

Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods that will be transferred that are both capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the goods is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Performance obligations include establishing and maintaining customer online stores, providing access to the Company’s e-commerce platform, customer service support, photography services, warehousing, and fulfillment. The Company has concluded the sale of goods and related shipping and handling on behalf of our customers are accounted for as a single performance obligation, while the expenses incurred for actual shipping charges are included in cost of sales.


The Company’s revenue is mainly commission fees derived from contractually committed gross revenue processed by customers on the Company’s e-commerce platform. Customers do not have the contractual right to take possession of the Company’s software. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to ultimately receive in exchange for those promised goods, net of expected discounts for sales promotions and customary allowances.

Commerce-as-a-Service Revenue

CaaS revenue is recognized on a net basis from maintaining e-commerce platforms and online orders, as the Company is engaged primarily in an agency relationship with its customers and earns defined amounts based on the individual contractual terms for the customer and the Company does not take possession of the customers’ inventory or any credit risks relating to the products sold.

41


Variable consideration is included in revenue for potential product returns. The Company uses a reserve to constrain revenue for the expected variable consideration at each period end. The Company reviews and updates its estimates and related accruals of variable consideration each period based on the terms of the agreements, historical experience, and expected levels of returns. Any uncertainties in the ultimate resolution of variable consideration due to factors outside of the Company’s influence are typically resolved within a short timeframe therefore not requiring any additional constraint on the variable consideration.

Payment terms and conditions are generally consistent for customers, including credit terms to customers ranging from seven days to 60 days, and the Company’s contracts do not include any significant financing component. The Company performs credit evaluations of customers and evaluates the need for allowances for potential credit losses based on historical experience, as well as current and expected general economic conditions.

Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and, therefore, are excluded from net sales in the statements of operations.

Commerce-as-a-Service

The Company’s main revenue stream is “Commerce-as-a-Service”CaaS revenue in which they receive commission fees derived from contractually committed gross revenue processed by customers on the Company’s e-commerce platform. Consideration for online sales is collected directly from the shopper by the Company and amounts not owed to the Company are remitted to the client. Revenue is recognized on a net basis from maintaining e-commerce platforms and online orders, as the Company is engaged in an agency relationship with its customers and earns defined amounts based on the individual contractual terms for the customer and the Company does not take possession of the customers’ inventory or any credit risks relating to the products sold.

Product revenue

Under one of the Company’s Master Services Agreements, the Company is the owner of inventory and reseller of record. As a result, the Company is the principal in sales to end customers and records these revenues on a gross basis a point in time.

Fulfillment

Revenue for business-to-business (“B2B”)B2B fulfillment services is recognized on a gross basis either at a point in time or over a point in time. For example, inbound and outbound services are recognized when the service is complete, while monthly storage services are recognized over the service period.

Marketing

Revenue for marketing services is recognized on a gross basis as marketing services are complete. Performance obligations include providing marketing and program management such as procurement and implementation.

Shipping

Revenue for shipping services is recognized on a gross basis as shipments are completed and products are shipped to end customers.


Other services

Revenue for other services such as photography, business to customer (“B2C”)B2C fulfillment, customer service, development and web design are reimbursable costs and recognized on the gross basis, and are services rendered as part of the performance obligations to clients for which an online platform and online orders are managed. All reimbursable costs are the responsibility of the Company as the Company uses such services to fulfill its performance obligations.

Set up and implementation

The Company provides set up and implementation services for new clients. The revenue is recognized on a gross basis at the completion of the service, with the unearned amounts received for incomplete services recorded as deferred revenue, if any.

Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and, therefore, are excluded from net sales in the statements of operationsoperations.

PART II - Other InformationOTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LegalLegal Proceedings

We are and may become, from time to time, involved in legal actions in the ordinary course of business, including governmental and administrative investigations, inquiries and proceedings concerning employment, labor, environmental and other claims. Although management is unable to predict with certainty the eventual outcome of any legal action, management believes the ultimate liability arising from such actions, individually and in the aggregate, which existed at September 30, 2022,2023, will not materially affect the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Given the inherent unpredictability of these types of proceedings, however, it is possible that future adverse outcomes could have a material effect on our financial results.

On October 5th, 2023, the Company entered into a contribution agreement to contribute its interest in Modcloth and IPCO to a newly established joint venture entity, BiCoastal Alliance, LLC, of which the Company will have 50% ownership interest. Subject to certain closing conditions, the contribution is expected to be completed in the 4th quarter of 2023.

On November 16, 2023, Nogin, Inc. (“Nogin”) entered into a promissory note with B. Riley Securities, Inc., in its capacity as the lender (the “Lender”) pursuant to which Nogin borrowed $8,530,000. Borrowings thereunder must be paid on the earliest to occur of (i) June 30, 2025 and (ii) the date on which acceleration occurs thereunder as a result of certain events of default. Interest on the amounts borrowed accrues at 15% per annum and is payable quarterly. The promissory note contains covenants that must be performed by Nogin including those that are contained in the indenture governing Nogin’s existing convertible secured notes with respect to (i) Exchange Act Reports; (ii) compliance and default certificates); (iii) restricted payments; (iv) collateral; (v) incurrence of indebtedness and issuance of preferred stock; and (vi) additional guarantees. The borrowings are secured pursuant to a security agreement between Nogin and the PIPE InvestmentLender dated November 16, 2023 pursuant to which the Lender was granted a security interest in all right, title, and interest of each grantor in certain of each grantor’s assets including all accounts, chattel paper, commercial tort claims, deposit accounts, documents, equipment, inventory, fixtures, goods, general intangibles (including, without limitation, patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, and copyrights, and all grantor’s rights in and under any registrations or applications to register any of the foregoing, and all grantor’s goodwill, instruments, investment property, letter of credit rights and money, and all other assets of such grantor, then owned and existing or thereafter acquired or arising and wherever located, and all proceeds of the foregoing.

On November 16, 2023, Nogin, the Lender, B. Riley Principal Investments, LLC, as plan sponsor, holders of 90% of Nogin’s convertible secured notes entered into a restructuring support agreement (the “Agreement”).

In connection therewith it is contemplated that the plan sponsor would provide a debtor-in-possession loan which, together with the loan described above, would be equitized into 100% ownership of Nogin or be used to acquire substantially all of Nogin’s assets. The parties have agreed to support the proposed restructuring including debtor-in-possession financing. The contemplated restructuring would result in a payment of $15,000,000 to the Company’s Current Reportconvertible note holders in satisfaction of their claims together with a priority claim on the proceeds of any litigation proceeds up to the amount of their secured claim.


Nogin and its board of directors may refrain from taking any actions or take any actions inconsistent with the Agreement if there is a determination that acting or refraining to act would be inconsistent with applicable law including any fiduciary duty obligations.

The contemplated restructuring is unlikely to result in any distribution to holders of Nogin’s common stock in their capacity as such and Nogin’s existing common stock and warrants are likely to become worthless.
