This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before buying securities in this offering. You should carefully read this entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including each of the documents incorporated herein or therein by reference, before making an investment decision. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Purple,” “Purple Inc.,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Purple Innovation, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and, where appropriate, its subsidiary Purple Innovation, LLC (“Purple LLC”).

Overview

Our mission is to help people feel and live better through innovative comfort solutions.

We are a digitally-native vertical brand founded on comfort product innovation with premium offerings. We design and manufacture a variety of innovative, branded and premium comfort products, including mattresses, pillows, cushions, bases, sheets, and other products. Our products are the result of over 30 years of innovation and investment in proprietary and patented comfort technologies and the development of our own manufacturing processes. Our proprietary gel technology, the GelFlex^™ Grid, underpins many of our comfort products and provides a range of benefits that differentiate our offerings from other competitors’ products. We believe that our GelFlex^™ Grid provides unique advantages in the areas of pressure relief, temperature neutrality, responsiveness, and durability. Clinical testing has indicated minimal degradation after 10 years.

We market and sell our products through direct-to-consumer e-commerce and Purple retail showrooms (collectively “DTC”) and retail brick-and-mortar wholesale partners.

The foundation of our business is core competencies in design, development and manufacturing. Decades of accumulated knowledge enable us to create all aspects of our innovative products, including fundamental comfort technologies and machines and processes necessary to bring them to market. We have integrated our operations to include research and development, marketing and manufacturing, resulting in an ability to rapidly test, learn, adapt and scale our product offerings. In order to solve complex manufacturing challenges such as large-format injection molding of our Purple Grid, we designed and produced our own manufacturing equipment including our proprietary and patented Mattress Max^™ machinery. These were and still are fully customized machines unique to Purple that can handle both our size and scale requirements. We believe our combination of patents and intellectual property, proprietary and patented manufacturing equipment, production processes and decades of acquired knowledge create an advantage over our competitors who rely on commoditized materials, such as foam and outsourced manufacturing. Across our three manufacturing facilities, we have 10 Mattress Max^™ machines and 19 pillow and seat cushion machines. We also have one additional Mattress Max^™ machine in process at our manufacturing facility in Georgia. We believe our current manufacturing facilities are sufficient to support capacity in excess of current demand.

In addition to developing transformative, differentiated products and technologies, we have built a brand that has high customer engagement and avid brand advocates. We have an experienced marketing team, providing efficient customer acquisition and brand demand development. Our marketing strategy enables us to market our full product suite to customers, generate frequent interactions online and drive traffic to all channels offering our products. Our early brand growth was fueled by viral videos that have been seen more than 4.4 billion times across Facebook and YouTube. Evidencing the strength of our brand, our close rate among consumers who are considering a purchase was at an all-time high in the fourth quarter of 2021.

S-2

According to a 2021 report from Allied Market Research, the global mattress market is expected to total approximately $30.7 billion in 2022. As a native DTC brand, our knowledge of and engagement with consumers across digital and brick and mortar retail channels is advantageous and increasing. To complement our DTC efforts, we have developed multiple wholesale relationships with best-in-class retailers in the furniture, mattress specialty, home décor, and department store spaces. We ended 2021 with approximately 2,500 wholesale doors and plan to add approximately 500 net additional wholesale doors in 2022. We believe our distinctly differentiated products, marketing strategies, manufacturing capabilities, unique branding and proprietary technologies position us to continue to drive our growth in comfort products.

By fourth quarter 2021, we believe we increased our share in the overall mattress category nearly a full percentage point from the previous high in the fourth quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2021.

In 2021, our DTC sales, which includes online and Purple retail showrooms, accounted for 65.3% of our net revenues and wholesale accounted for 34.7% of net revenues, while sales of sleep products accounted for approximately 91% of our net revenues and other products accounted for 9%.

In 2021, Purple opened and scaled a new facility in McDonough, Georgia to create growth-supporting capacity and a manufacturing footprint that serves our customers in the eastern U.S. We also grew our DTC efforts by adding 19 Purple retail showrooms in 2021 and four thus far in 2022, making a total of 32 Company showroom locations in cities across the United States. We anticipate opening 24 additional Purple retail showrooms throughout 2022 and to eventually have more than 200 showrooms.

Recent Developments in our Business

Production and Demand Developments

During the second quarter of 2021, following safety improvements involving the Mattress Max machines, we encountered isolated production challenges caused by unanticipated mechanical and maintenance issues when bringing the machines back online. As a result, we experienced significantly reduced production levels causing shipment backlogs that unfavorably affected both second and third quarter net revenues. We exited the month of July with production from our existing machines back at planned levels and emerged from our backlog position at the end of August. With our production back at planned levels, we were able to increase our finished goods inventory to adequate stock levels that enabled us to resume timely shipments to our customers during the latter part of the third quarter.

Even though we were able to return to planned production capacity in the third quarter, our results of operations did not return to expected levels, which we believe was primarily due to slower than expected acceleration back to prior trending demand levels. We also believe that the production challenges experienced in the second and third quarters adversely affected the confidence of consumers and our wholesale partners in our ability to timely deliver our products, which resulted in reduced orders and increased cancellations from e-commerce, wholesale and Purple retail showroom customers. Further, in an effort to manage costs as we worked to resolve the production issues described above, we initiated a reduction in marketing spend late in the second quarter that carried through most of the third quarter, which further negatively affected demand for our products, particularly in our e-commerce sales channel. In addition to adversely impacting immediate demand, these issues also interrupted our momentum in growth for future periods. Although we did generate net revenue growth of 7.2% in the fourth quarter compared to the prior year fourth quarter, we experienced an operating loss in the quarter due to lower gross margins, higher marketing costs and an increase in general and administrative expenses. While our production and marketing efforts returned to planned levels in the fourth quarter, post-pandemic demand is shifting away from e-commerce and back towards retail brick-and-mortar. We believe this shift will continue through 2022.

S-3

In addition to a slower recovery to expected demand levels following our return to full production capacity and shift in demand from e-commerce to physical stores, our business has also been adversely impacted by increases in raw material, labor and freight costs. While we are still able to obtain necessary materials when needed, the costs of such materials have increased significantly, consistent with general macroeconomic trends. In addition, as experienced in other industries, in order to remain competitive in hiring the labor necessary to maintain our production, we have had to increase wages and other compensation. These increases in materials and labor costs have resulted in higher cost of goods sold and lower margins.

We believe that raw material, labor and freight costs will continue to remain at elevated levels or increase further in the foreseeable future. In order to offset the impact of these costs on our gross margins, we took a number of pricing actions in the fourth quarter and early 2022. In February 2022, we completed a restructuring of our workforce that was necessitated by a realignment of our cost structure. As a result of the realignment and restructuring, we reduced employee headcount by approximately 15%. In addition, we have initiated a number of other projects to improve efficiencies and reduce costs. Following several years of hyper growth and increased investments to support current and future expansion, we are now focusing on right-sizing our operations, improving our execution and refining our strategies to drive profitable growth in the current market environment.

We are also closely monitoring the impacts of COVID-19 and general economic conditions on global supply chain, manufacturing, and logistics operations. As inflationary pressures increase, we anticipate that our production and operating costs will similarly increase. In addition, COVID-19 and other events, including port closures or labor shortages, have resulted in the continuation or worsening of manufacturing and shipping costs, delays and constraints. While most of our domestic suppliers have been able to continue operations and provide necessary materials when needed, we have experienced some constraints from certain suppliers, with respect to both the availability and cost of materials. We have also experienced some delays in shipments from our suppliers. Any significant delay or interruption in our supply chain could impair our ability to meet the demands of our customers and could negatively impact our business.

Mattress Firm Relationship

On November 8, 2021, Purple LLC and Mattress Firm agreed to terminate the September 2018 retailer agreement and replace it with a new agreement that has terms consistent with the Company’s standard retailer agreement. This new agreement provides opportunity for continued partnership and growth with Mattress Firm while also eliminating the prior exclusivity arrangements. With the constraints on entering markets in which Mattress Firm conducts business no longer in place, this creates opportunities to partner with new specialty retailers that were previously not available to us.

Revolving Line of Credit and Amendment with KeyBank

In September 2020, Purple LLC entered into a Credit Agreement (as amended by the First Amendment and Second Amendment (each as defined below), the “2020 Credit Agreement”) with KeyBank National Association and a group of financial institutions (“Institutional Lenders”) that provided for a $45.0 million term loan and a $55.0 million revolving line of credit. In November 2021, the Company executed a $55.0 million draw on its revolving line of credit, which represented the full amount available under the line. The outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit was classified as long-term debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021.

Our operating and financial results for the year ended December 31, 2021 did not satisfy our financial and performance covenants required pursuant to the 2020 Credit Agreement. In order to avoid a breach of such covenants and related default, on February 28, 2022, prior to the covenant compliance certification date under

S-4

the 2020 Credit Agreement, we entered into the first amendment (the “First Amendment”) of the 2020 Credit Agreement. The amendment contains a covenant waiver period such that the net leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio will not be tested for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021 through the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022. Other changes in the amendment include modification of leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage definitions and thresholds, the addition of minimum liquidity requirements with mandatory prepayments of the revolving loan if cash exceeds $25.0 million, new weekly and monthly reporting requirements, limits on the amount of capital expenditures, the addition of a lease incurrence test for opening additional showrooms, and additional negative covenants during a covenant amendment period that will extend into 2023 until certain conditions are met. In addition, the interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the 2020 Credit Agreement changed from LIBOR with a floor of 0.5% plus an applicable margin (historically at 3.0%) to an initial rate of SOFR with a floor of 0.5% plus 4.75%, for a total rate of 5.25% as long as the applicable liquidity threshold is met. If it is not met, then the interest rate goes to SOFR with a floor of 0.5% plus 9.00%. Once the consolidated leverage ratio is below 3.00 to 1.00, the interest rate will be based on SOFR with a floor of 0.5% plus a 3.00% to 3.75% depending on the consolidated leverage ratio. Pursuant to the First Amendment, we paid fees and expenses of $0.9 million and prepaid all principal payments due in 2022 of $2.5 million.

On March 23, 2022, we entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the 2020 Credit Agreement. The Second Amendment amends the 2020 Credit Agreement to allow Coliseum Capital Management, LLC (“Coliseum”) and its investment affiliates to acquire 35% or more of the combined voting power of all equity interests of the Company entitled to vote for the election of members of our board of directors without constituting an event of default. Coliseum is an affiliate of the Company. Adam Gray, a member of our board of directors, serves as a managing partner of Coliseum.

Outlook for Growth

To support our plans for future growth, we are initially focusing on the following immediate opportunities:

• Right-size labor force and effectively manage labor;

• Manage capacity utilization to promote efficient use of production facilities as we grow into production footprint;

• Develop and execute on strategies to meaningfully expand our wholesale presence;

• Build premium brand position to deliver 20% market share of the premium mattress category within the next few years, from current approximately 11% market share;

• Manage input costs, operating efficiencies, and pricing to offset gross margin erosion, with a goal to return gross margins to approximately the levels achieved in 2020 by the end of 2022; and

• Strengthen research and development disciplines and go-to-market processes to position our business to eventually expand to adjacent categories.

There is no guarantee that we will be able to effectively execute on these opportunities, which are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including the risks described under “Part I—Item 1A—Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and elsewhere herein. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those described above. In addition, we may, in the future, adapt these focuses in response to changes in the market or our business.

Unless otherwise indicated, the information in this prospectus supplement, including the number of shares outstanding after this offering, assumes:

• no exercise or settlement of outstanding stock options; and

• no exercise by the underwriter of its option to purchase up to an additional                  shares of our Class A common stock from us.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below, under the caption “Risk Factors” in the accompanying prospectus and under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2021 which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. See “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation by Reference.” Before making any investment decision, you should carefully consider these risks as well as other information we include or incorporate by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The risks and uncertainties we describe are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of or that we believe are not material at the time could also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In any case, the value of our Class A common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. See also the information contained under the heading “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” immediately below.

Risks Related to this Offering

Future sales of our Class A common stock in the public market may depress our share price.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Class A common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our Class A common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities, regardless of whether there is any relationship between such sales and the performance of our business. As of December 31, 2021, we had 66,492,846 shares of Class A common stock outstanding, all of which shares were, and continue to be, eligible for sale in the public market, subject in some cases to compliance with the requirements of Rule 144, including the volume limitations and manner of sale requirements. In addition, all of the shares offered under this prospectus will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration upon issuance.

Our stockholders may experience substantial dilution in the value of their investment if we issue additional shares of our capital stock.

Our charter allows us to issue up to 300 million shares of our common stock, including 210 million shares of Class A common stock and 90 million shares of Class B common stock, and up to five million shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. To raise additional capital, we may in the future sell additional shares of our Class A common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Class A common stock at prices that are lower than the prices paid by existing stockholders, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders, which could result in substantial dilution to the interests of existing stockholders.

We may issue debt and equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities, any of which may be senior to our Class A common stock as to distributions and in liquidation, which could negatively affect the value of our Class A common stock.

In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by entering into additional debt or debt-like financing that is unsecured or secured by up to all of our assets, or by issuing additional debt or equity securities, which could include issuances of secured or unsecured notes, preferred stock, hybrid securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities. In the event of our liquidation, our lenders and holders of our debt would receive distributions of our available assets before distributions to holders of our Class A common stock, and holders of securities senior to the Class A common stock would receive distributions of our available assets before distributions to the holders of our Class A common stock. Because our decision to incur debt and issue securities in future offerings may be influenced by market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings or debt financings. Further, market conditions could require us to accept less favorable terms for the issuance of our securities in the future.

S-11

While we have had access to a $55 million revolving credit facility under the 2020 Credit Agreement, our ability to access such funds is subject to certain conditions, including compliance with restrictive covenants, including financial covenants regarding our consolidated leverage and net leverage ratios, our fixed charge coverage ratio and our minimum liquidity. We have already drawn the entire amount of the revolving credit facility. To the extent we prepay or repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility, including as a result of this offering, our ability to reborrow funds under our revolving credit facility will be subject to the conditions and provided in the 2020 Credit Agreement, including compliance with covenants, including the financial covenants, as well as our representations and warranties continuing to be true and correct. In addition, our cash balance cannot exceed $25.0 million as long as any balances are outstanding under our revolving credit facility, so we will be limited in our ability to draw down on this facility shortly following this offering. Our 2020 Credit Agreement, as amended, can be found as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2022.

Our operating and financial results for the year ended December 31, 2021 did not satisfy our financial and performance covenants required pursuant to the 2020 Credit Agreement. In order to avoid a breach of such covenants and related default, on February 28, 2022, prior to the covenant compliance certification date under the 2020 Credit Agreement, we entered into the First Amendment of the 2020 Credit Agreement. The First Amendment contains a covenant waiver period such that the net leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio will not be tested for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021 through the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022. Other changes in the amendment include modification of leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage definitions and thresholds, the addition of minimum liquidity requirements with mandatory prepayments of the revolving loan if cash exceeds $25.0 million, new weekly and monthly reporting requirements, limits on the amount of capital expenditures, including expenditures for acquisition of other businesses or technologies, the addition of a lease incurrence test for opening additional showrooms, and additional negative covenants during a covenant amendment period that will extend into 2023 until certain conditions are met. In addition, the interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the 2020 Credit Agreement changed from LIBOR to secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”).

To the extent that future or additional waivers and amendments are necessary, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to obtain waivers or further amendments from the lenders under the 2020 Credit Agreement if, in the future, we are unable to comply with the covenants and other terms of the 2020 Credit Agreement. Our failure to satisfy the required conditions under the amendment or maintain compliance with the financial and performance covenants under the 2020 Credit Agreement could result in a default, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations, including as a result of acceleration of our outstanding debt. In addition, any default under the 2020 Credit Agreement would adversely affect our ability to obtain alternative financing.

Future equity or debt financings may require us to also issue warrants or other equity securities that are likely to be dilutive to our existing stockholders. Newly issued securities may include preferences or superior voting rights or may be combined with the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which each may have additional dilutive effects. Furthermore, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our financial condition. If we cannot raise additional funds on favorable terms or at all, or draw down on our revolving credit facility, we may not be able to carry out all or parts of our long-term growth strategy, maintain our growth and competitiveness or continue in business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial conditions.

Our stock price may be volatile.

The stock market in recent years has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of companies. The market price of our Class A common stock could fluctuate significantly for many reasons, including in response to the risks described in this section,

S-12

elsewhere in this prospectus supplement or the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, or for reasons unrelated to our operations, such as reports by industry analysts, investor perceptions or negative announcements by our customers, competitors or suppliers regarding their own performance, as well as industry conditions and general financial, economic and political instability. In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies that experienced such volatility.

We are required to make certain prepayments to any revolving loans and thereafter may not be able to draw upon our revolving line of credit.

Under the 2020 Credit Agreement, as amended, if the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents we hold exceeds $25.0 million, we are required to prepay an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the outstanding revolving loans and (ii) the amount of cash and cash equivalents in excess of $25.0 million. In addition, the Company is prohibited from making additional borrowings under the revolver if after giving effect to any borrowing, and any transactions to be consummated therewith, the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents exceeds $25.0 million. As a result of these two restrictions, the Company’s ability to accumulate cash in excess of $25.0 million is limited. If for any reason the Company is unable to borrow on its revolving credit facility, it would be limited in available cash to pay its expenses and meet its obligations, which lack of liquidity could impair the Company’s relationships with suppliers and vendors, delay the Company’s growth plans or prevent the Company from taking actions in its best interest or even continue in business.

Proposed legislation in the U.S. Congress, including changes in U.S. tax law, may adversely impact the Company and the value of shares of Class A common stock.

Changes to U.S. tax laws (which changes may have retroactive application) could adversely affect the Company or holders of Class A common stock. In recent years, many changes to U.S. federal income tax laws have been proposed and made, and additional changes to U.S. federal income tax laws are likely to continue to occur in the future.

The U.S. Congress is currently considering numerous items of legislation which may be enacted prospectively or with retroactive effect, which legislation could adversely impact the Company’s financial performance and the value of shares of Class A common stock. In particular, new proposed legislation known as the “Build Back Better Act” is under consideration within both houses of U.S. Congress. The proposed legislation includes, without limitation, new corporate minimum income taxes. If enacted, most of the proposals would be effective for 2022 or later years. The proposed legislation remains subject to change, and its impact on the Company and purchasers of Class A common stock is uncertain.

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways with which you may not agree. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that the proceeds will be invested or otherwise used in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for our company. See the section entitled “Use of Proceeds” in this prospectus supplement for a more detailed discussion of our expected use of the net proceeds from this offering. Accordingly, our management will have significant discretion and flexibility in applying the net proceeds from the sale of these securities, including through reborrowing on our revolving credit facility.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, the documents we have filed with the SEC that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus and any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Statements in this prospectus supplement that are not descriptions of historical facts are forward-looking statements that are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could negatively affect our business, operating results, financial condition and stock price.

These forward-looking statements relate to expectations for future financial performance, business strategies or expectations for Purple. Specifically, forward-looking statements may include statements relating to the future financial performance of the Company, changes in the markets in which Purple competes, expansion plans and opportunities, expansion of the direct to consumer market, our expectation of opening additional Purple retail showrooms, increases in capital, advertising and operational expenses, and other statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target” or similar expressions.

The forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement are made only as of the date hereof and are only predictions. It is routine for our internal projections and expectations to change throughout the year, and any forward-looking statements based upon these projections or expectations may change prior to the end of the next quarter or year. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. Future developments affecting us may not be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) and other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions are described under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-11 of this prospectus supplement and elsewhere in the accompanying prospectus and our other filings with the SEC incorporated herein by reference. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. The risks described under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the accompanying prospectus, and the documents incorporated by reference herein may not be exhaustive.

We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. You should, however, review the factors and risks we describe in the reports we will file from time to time with the SEC after the date of this prospectus supplement. See the section titled “Where You Can Find More Information.”

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. These statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this prospectus supplement, and while we believe such information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, such information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and you are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.

You should read this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus and any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering completely and with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $            , after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us.

Under the terms of our 2020 Credit Agreement, dated as of September 3, 2020 and amended as of February 28, 2022 and March 23, 2022, with the lenders party thereto and KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent, we will be obligated to prepay an amount equal to the lesser of the outstanding amount of revolving loans and the aggregate amount of cash held by the Company in excess of $25 million. We have currently borrowed the entire $55 million available under the revolving loans. If, after receiving the net proceeds of the offering, we have more than $25 million of cash on hand, we will be required to use such excess cash to prepay the outstanding balance under the revolving loans, up to the amount of the entire outstanding balance. As of the date hereof, we have approximately $25 million in cash on hand. After we have satisfied the conditions under the 2020 Credit Agreement, we intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures, other corporate expenses and acquisitions of complementary products, technologies or businesses. We do not currently have binding agreements or commitments to complete any such transactions or, except as described above, to make any such principal repayments from the proceeds of this offering.

DILUTION

A purchaser of our securities in this offering will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the price per share of our Class A common stock in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our Class A common stock after this offering. As of December 31, 2021, our historical net tangible book value was $133.3 million, or $2.01 per share of Class A common stock, based on 66,492,846 shares of Class A common stock outstanding.

After giving effect to our sale in this offering of shares of our Class A common stock at a price of $                 per share, and after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2021 would have been $                 million, or $         per share of our Class A common stock. This amount results in an immediate change in pro forma net tangible book value, as adjusted, of $         per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $                 per share to the new investors purchasing securities in this offering. The dilution information discussed below is illustrative only and will change based on the actual price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing. The following table illustrates this dilution:

Price per share			$
Net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2021 (in thousands)	$	133,337
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to new investors in this offering	$
Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after the offering			$
Dilution per share to investors in this offering			$

The number of shares of our Class A common stock to be outstanding after this offering is based on 66,492,846 shares of our Class A common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2021, and excludes (in each case as of December 31, 2021):

• 448,279 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon an exchange of outstanding Class B common units in Purple LLC (together with an equal number of shares of Class B common stock, the “Paired Securities”) held by certain stockholders as of December 31, 2021;

• 1,551,622 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2021 with a weighted average exercise price of $8.65 per share, as of December 31, 2021;

• 927,875 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants, as of December 31, 2021; and

• an aggregate of 2,133,952 additional shares of Class A common stock available for future issuance under our equity incentive plans.

To the extent that outstanding options or warrants are exercised, you will experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations, even if we believe that we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. In the event that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity, our stockholders will be further diluted.

S-17

CERTAIN MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to a Non-U.S. Holder (as defined below) with respect to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of shares of our Class A common stock. The following discussion is based upon current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), U.S. judicial decisions, administrative pronouncements and Treasury regulations, all as in effect and applicable as of the date hereof. All of these authorities are subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect, and may result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. This discussion does not discuss the potential effects, whether adverse or beneficial, of any proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied on a retroactive or prospective basis. We have not requested, and will not request, a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) with respect to any of the U.S. federal income tax consequences described below, and as a result there can be no assurance that the IRS will not disagree with or challenge any of the conclusions we have reached and describe herein.

For purposes of this discussion, the term “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of shares of our Class A common stock that is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as an individual, corporation, estate or trust, other than:

• an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

• a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

• an estate, the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

• a trust if: (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust; or (ii) it has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a domestic trust.

If a partnership (or an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds shares of our Class A common stock, the tax treatment of a person treated as a partner of such partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partnerships holding shares of our Class A common stock and persons that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, are treated as partners in such partnerships are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them.

This discussion only addresses Non-U.S. Holders that hold such shares of Class A common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to a Non-U.S. Holder in light of such Non-U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances or that may be applicable to Non-U.S. Holders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law (including, for example, financial institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, dealers in securities, traders in securities that elect mark-to-market treatment, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations and governmental organizations, tax-qualified retirement plans, persons that own, have owned, or will own, actually or constructively, more than 10% (by voting power or value) of our Class A common stock, Non-U.S. Holders who acquire our Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for their services, Non-U.S. Holders liable for the alternative minimum tax, controlled foreign corporations and shareholders thereof, passive foreign investment companies and shareholders thereof, corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, U.S. expatriates and former citizens or former long-term residents of the United States, persons subject to special tax accounting rules, partnership or

S-18

other pass-through entities (and investors therein), persons deemed to sell our Class A common stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code, Non-U.S. Holders that hold our Class A common stock as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale, conversion, or other integrated transaction, and Non-U.S. Holders which are corporations organized outside the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia that are nonetheless treated as U.S. persons for U.S. federal income tax purposes). In addition, this discussion does not address U.S. federal tax laws other than those pertaining to U.S. federal income tax (such as U.S. federal estate or gift tax, U.S. alternative minimum tax or the federal net investment income tax), nor does it address any aspects of U.S. state, local or non-U.S. taxes. Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of these taxes. Except to the extent specifically discussed below, this summary does not discuss tax reporting requirements.

Prospective purchasers are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the particular consequences to them under U.S. federal, state and local, and applicable non-U.S. tax laws of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our Class A common stock.

Distributions

Although we do not anticipate that any cash dividends with respect to our Class A common stock will be paid in the foreseeable future, distributions of cash or property that we pay in respect of our Class A common stock will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. If a distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be treated as a tax-free return of the Non-U.S. Holder’s investment, up to such Non-U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares of our Class A common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as capital gain, subject to the tax treatment described below under the heading “Gain on Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition.” Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate, or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and such holder’s country of residence. If we are unable to determine, at the time of payment of a distribution, whether the distribution will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we may nonetheless choose to withhold any U.S. federal income tax on the distribution as permitted by Treasury Regulations, in which case a Non-U.S. Holder would be entitled to a refund from the IRS for the withholding tax on the portion (if any) of the distribution that exceeded our current and accumulated earnings and profits.

Distributions that are treated as effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by a Non-U.S. Holder within the United States are generally not subject to the 30% withholding tax if the Non-U.S. Holder provides a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI stating that the distributions are not subject to withholding because they are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States. If a Non-U.S. Holder is engaged in a trade or business in the United States and the distribution is effectively connected with the conduct of that trade or business (or, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States), the distribution will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the regular U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to U.S. persons (subject to any modification provided under an applicable income tax treaty). Any U.S. effectively connected income received by a Non-U.S. Holder that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes may also, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty).

A Non-U.S. Holder who claims the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and such holder’s country of residence generally will be required to provide a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, and satisfy applicable certification and other requirements. A Non-U.S. Holder that is eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax under an income tax treaty generally may obtain a refund or credit of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under a relevant income tax treaty.

S-19

Gain on Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition

Subject to the discussions below in “Information Reporting and Backup Withholding” and “FATCA”, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on gain recognized on a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our Class A common stock unless:

• the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (or, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States);

• the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the disposition, and certain other requirements are met; or

• the rules of the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 (“FIRPTA”) apply to treat the gain as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business.

A Non-U.S. Holder which has a gain that is described in the first bullet point immediately above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the gain derived from the sale or other disposition pursuant to regular U.S. federal income tax rates generally in the same manner as if such Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. person. In addition, a corporate Non-U.S. Holder described in the first bullet point immediately above may be subject to the branch profits tax equal to 30% of its effectively connected earnings and profits (or at such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty), as adjusted for certain items.

A Non-U.S. Holder who meets the requirements described in the second bullet point immediately above will be subject to a flat 30% tax (or a lower tax rate specified by an applicable tax treaty) on the gain derived from the sale or other disposition, which gain may be offset by certain U.S. source capital losses (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States), provided the Non-U.S. Holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.

With respect to the third bullet point above, pursuant to FIRPTA, in general and except as described below, a Non-U.S. Holder is subject to U.S. federal income tax in the same manner as income effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of trade or business (as discussed above) on any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of a “U.S. real property interest” (“USRPI”). For purposes of these rules, a USRPI generally includes stock in a U.S. corporation (like Class A common stock) if the U.S. corporation’s interests in U.S. real property constitute (or did constitute during the relevant period) 50% or more, by value, of the sum of the U.S. corporation’s (i) assets used in a trade or business, (ii) U.S. real property interests, and (iii) interests in real property outside of the United States. A U.S. corporation whose interests in U.S. real property constitute 50% or more, by value, of the sum of such assets is referred to as a U.S. real property holding corporation (“USRPHC”). The Company believes that it is not currently, and it does not anticipate becoming in the future, a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Even if the Company is or were to become a USRPHC, gain arising from the sale or other taxable disposition by a Non-U.S. Holder of Class A common stock will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax if the Class A common stock is “regularly traded,” as defined by applicable Treasury Regulations, on an established securities market, and such Non-U.S. Holder owned, actually and constructively, five percent (5%) or less of the Class A common stock throughout the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the sale or other taxable disposition and the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Information returns are required to be filed with the IRS in connection with any distributions on our Class A common stock paid to the Non-U.S. Holder, regardless of whether such distributions constitute dividends or whether any tax was actually withheld. Copies of these information returns may also be made available under the provisions of a specific treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which a Non-U.S. Holder resides. Under certain circumstances, the Code imposes a backup withholding obligation on

S-20

certain reportable payments. Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder will generally be exempt from backup withholding if such Non-U.S. Holder provides a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E (or, in each case, a successor form) or otherwise establishes an exemption and we do not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such Non-U.S. Holder is a U.S. person or that the conditions of such other exemption are not, in fact, satisfied.

The payment of the proceeds from the disposition of our Class A common stock to or through the U.S. office of any broker (U.S. or non-U.S.) will be subject to information reporting and possible backup withholding unless a Non-U.S. Holder certifies as to its non-U.S. status under penalties of perjury or otherwise establishes an exemption and the broker does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a U.S. person or that the conditions of any other exemption are not, in fact, satisfied. The payment of proceeds from the disposition of our Class A common stock to or through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding unless the non-U.S. broker has certain types of relationships with the United States (a “U.S. related financial intermediary”). In the case of the payment of proceeds from the disposition of our Class A common stock to or through a non-U.S. office of a broker that is either a U.S. person or a U.S. related financial intermediary, the Treasury Regulations require information reporting (but not backup withholding) on the payment unless the broker has documentary evidence in its files that the owner is not a U.S. person and the broker has no knowledge to the contrary.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a Non-U.S. Holder will be refunded or credited against its U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors on the application of information reporting and backup withholding in light of their particular circumstances.

FATCA

Pursuant to Section 1471 through 1474 of the Code, commonly referred to as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), foreign financial institutions (which include most foreign hedge funds, private equity funds, mutual funds, securitization vehicles and any other investment vehicles) and certain other foreign entities that do not otherwise qualify for an exemption must comply with information reporting rules with respect to their U.S. account holders and investors or be subject to a withholding tax on U.S. source payments made to them (whether received as a beneficial owner or as an intermediary for another party).

More specifically, a foreign financial institution or other foreign entity that does not comply with the FATCA reporting requirements or otherwise qualify for an exemption will generally be subject to a 30% withholding tax with respect to any “withholdable payments.” For this purpose, withholdable payments generally include U.S.-source payments otherwise subject to nonresident withholding tax (e.g., U.S.-source dividends). While withholding under FATCA would have also applied to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of shares of our Class A common stock, proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds. The preamble to these proposed regulations indicates that taxpayers may rely on them pending their finalization. The FATCA withholding tax will apply to all withholdable payments without regard to whether the beneficial owner of the payment would otherwise be entitled to an exemption from imposition of withholding tax pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty with the United States or U.S. domestic law. We will not pay additional amounts to holders of our Class A common stock in respect of amounts withheld. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules.

FATCA currently applies to dividends made in respect of our Class A common stock. To avoid withholding on dividends, Non-U.S. Holders may be required to provide us (or our withholding agents) with applicable tax forms or other information. Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of the FATCA provisions to them based on their particular circumstances.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITIES WE ARE OFFERING

In this offering, we are offering shares of our Class A common stock at the price of $                 per share of Class A common stock. The material terms and provisions of our Class A common stock are described under the captions “Description of Capital Stock” and “Common Stock,” each beginning on page 10 of the accompanying prospectus.

S-22

UNDERWRITING

BofA Securities, Inc. is acting as the underwriter of the offering. We have entered into an underwriting agreement dated                 , 2022 with the underwriter. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to sell to the underwriter named below and the underwriter named below has agreed to purchase, at a price of $             per share, the following number of shares of our Class A common stock:

Underwriter	Number of Shares
BofA Securities, Inc.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the underwriting agreement, the underwriter has agreed to purchase all of the shares sold under the underwriting agreement if any of these shares are purchased.

The underwriter has agreed to purchase the shares of Class A common stock from us at a price of $             per share, which will result in net proceeds to us, after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us, of approximately $             assuming no exercise of the option to purchase additional shares granted to the underwriter, and $             assuming full exercise of the option to purchase additional shares.

The underwriter may offer the shares of Class A common stock from time to time to purchasers directly or through agents, or through brokers in brokerage transactions on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, or to dealers in negotiated transactions or in a combination of such methods of sale, or otherwise, at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices. The difference between the price at which the underwriter purchases the Class A common stock and the price at which the underwriter resells such Class A common stock may be deemed underwriting compensation. In addition, in accordance with their contractual preemptive rights, Coliseum Capital Partners, L.P. and Blackwell Partners LLC – Series A, who, together with their affiliates hold 34.99% of our Class A common stock, have indicated an interest to purchase up to 29.81% of the shares of our Class A common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement.

The expenses of the offering are estimated at $                . We have also agreed to reimburse the underwriter for certain of its expenses in an amount up to $35,000.

We have granted an option to the underwriter, exercisable for 30 days after the date of this prospectus supplement, to purchase up to                additional shares at a price of $             per share. If the underwriter exercises its option, it will be obligated, subject to conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, to purchase the number of additional shares for which it has exercised the option. The difference between the price at which the underwriter purchases the Class A common stock and the price at which the underwriter resells such Class A common stock may be deemed underwriting compensation.

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the underwriter may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

The underwriter is offering the shares, subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by it, subject to approval of legal matters by its counsel, including the validity of the shares, and other conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, such as the receipt by the underwriter of officer’s certificates and legal opinions. The underwriter reserves the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.

No Sales of Similar Securities

We and our directors and executive officers have agreed not to sell or transfer any Class A common stock or securities convertible into, exchangeable for, exercisable for, or repayable with Class A common stock,

S-23

for 60 days after the date of this prospectus supplement without first obtaining the written consent of BofA Securities, Inc. Specifically, we and these other persons have agreed, with certain limited exceptions, not to directly or indirectly:

• offer, pledge, sell or contract to sell any Class A common stock,

• sell any option or contract to purchase any Class A common stock,

• purchase any option or contract to sell any Class A common stock,

• grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of any Class A common stock,

• lend or otherwise dispose of or transfer any Class A common stock,

• request or demand that we file a registration statement related to the Class A common stock, or

• enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic consequence of ownership of any Class A common stock whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of shares or other securities, in cash or otherwise.

This lock-up provision applies to Class A common stock and to securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or repayable with Class A common stock. It also applies to Class A common stock owned now or acquired later by the person executing the agreement or for which the person executing the agreement later acquires the power of disposition.

Nasdaq Global Select Market Listing

The shares are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “PRPL.”

Price Stabilization, Short Positions

Until the distribution of the shares is completed, SEC rules may limit the underwriter from bidding for and purchasing our Class A common stock. However, the underwriter may engage in transactions that stabilize the price of the Class A common stock, such as bids or purchases to peg, fix or maintain that price.

In connection with the offering, the underwriter may purchase and sell our Class A common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, purchases on the open market to cover positions created by short sales and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriter of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in the offering. “Covered” short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares described above. The underwriter may close out any covered short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered short position, the underwriter will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which it may purchase shares through the option granted to it. “Naked” short sales are sales in excess of such option. The underwriter must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of our Class A common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of shares of Class A common stock made by the underwriter in the open market prior to the completion of the offering.

Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriter’s purchases to cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our Class A common stock or preventing or

S-24

retarding a decline in the market price of our Class A common stock. As a result, the price of our Class A common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. The underwriter may conduct these transactions on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

Neither we nor the underwriter make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our Class A common stock. In addition, neither we nor the underwriter make any representation that the underwriter will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

Passive Market Making

In connection with this offering, the underwriter may engage in passive market making transactions in the Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of Class A common stock and extending through the completion of distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded. Passive market making may cause the price of our Class A common stock to be higher than the price that otherwise would exist in the open market in the absence of those transactions. The underwriter and dealers are not required to engage in passive market making and may end passive market making activities at any time.

Electronic Distribution

In connection with the offering, the underwriter or securities dealers may distribute prospectuses by electronic means, such as e-mail.

Other Relationships

The underwriter and its affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us or our affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.

In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriter and its affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. The underwriter and its affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

We, the underwriter and its affiliates will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representations, acknowledgements and agreements.

For the purposes of this provision, the expression an “offer to the public” in relation to any shares of Class A common stock in any Relevant State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and any shares of Class A common stock to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for any shares of Class A common stock, and the expression “Prospectus Regulation” means Regulation (EU) 2017/1129.

The above selling restriction is in addition to any other selling restrictions set out below.

In connection with the offering, the underwriter is not acting for anyone other than the issuer and will not be responsible to anyone other than the issuer for providing the protections afforded to their clients nor for providing advice in relation to the offering.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary description about us and our business highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus or incorporated in this prospectus by reference. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before buying securities in this offering. You should carefully read this entire prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, including each of the documents incorporated herein or therein by reference, before making an investment decision. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Purple,” “Purple Inc.,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Purple Innovation, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and, where appropriate, its subsidiary Purple Innovation, LLC (“Purple LLC”).

Overview

Our mission is to help people feel and live better through innovative comfort solutions.

We are a digitally-native vertical brand founded on comfort product innovation with premium offerings. We design and manufacture a variety of innovative, branded and premium comfort products, including mattresses, pillows, cushions, bases, sheets, and other products. Our products are the result of over 30 years of innovation and investment in proprietary and patented comfort technologies and the development of our own manufacturing processes. Our proprietary gel technology, Hyper-Elastic Polymer, underpins many of our comfort products and provides a range of benefits that differentiate our offerings from other competitors’ products. We market and sell our products through direct-to-consumer e-commerce and Purple retail showrooms and retail brick-and-mortar wholesale partners.

Recent Developments in our Business

Production and Demand Developments

During the second quarter of 2021, following an accident that resulted in the death of an employee and subsequent safety improvements involving the Mattress Max machines, we encountered isolated production challenges caused by unanticipated mechanical and maintenance issues when bringing the machines back online. As a result, we experienced significantly reduced production levels causing shipment backlogs that unfavorably affected both second and third quarter net revenues. We exited the month of July with production from our existing machines back at planned levels and emerged from our backlog position at the end of August. With our production back at planned levels, we were able to increase our finished goods inventory to adequate stock levels that enabled us to resume timely shipments to our customers during the latter part of the third quarter.

Even though we were able to return to planned production capacity in the third quarter, our results of operations did not return to expected levels, which we believe was primarily due to slower than expected acceleration back to prior trending demand levels. We also believe that the production challenges experienced in the second and third quarters adversely affected the confidence of consumers and our wholesale partners in our ability to timely deliver our products, which resulted in reduced orders and increased cancellations from e-commerce, wholesale and Purple retail showroom customers. Further, in an effort to manage costs as we worked to resolve the production issues described above, we initiated a reduction in marketing spend late in the second quarter that carried through most of the third quarter, which further negatively affected demand for our products, particularly in our e-commerce sales channel. In addition to adversely impacting immediate demand, these issues also interrupted our momentum in growth for future periods. Although we did generate net revenue growth of 7.2% in the fourth quarter compared to the prior year fourth quarter, we experienced an operating loss in the quarter due to lower gross margins, higher marketing costs and an increase in general and administrative expenses. While our production and marketing efforts returned to planned levels in the fourth quarter, post-pandemic demand is shifting away from e-commerce and back towards retail brick-and-mortar. We believe this shift will continue through 2022.

2

In addition to a slower recovery to expected demand levels following our return to full production capacity and shift in demand from e-commerce to physical stores, our business has also been adversely impacted by increases in raw material, labor and freight costs. While we are still able to obtain necessary materials when needed, the costs of such materials have increased significantly, consistent with general macroeconomic trends. In addition, as experienced in other industries, in order to remain competitive in hiring the labor necessary to maintain our production, we have had to increase wages and other compensation. These increases in materials and labor costs have resulted in higher cost of goods sold and lower margins.

We believe that raw material, labor and freight costs will continue to remain at elevated levels or increase further in the foreseeable future. In order to offset the impact of these costs on our gross margins, we took a number of pricing actions in the fourth quarter and early 2022. In February 2022, we completed a restructuring of our workforce that was necessitated by a realignment of our cost structure. As a result of the realignment and restructuring, we reduced employee headcount by approximately 15%. In addition, we have initiated a number of other projects to improve efficiencies and reduce costs. Following several years of hyper growth and increased investments to support current and future expansion, we are now focusing on right-sizing our operations, improving our execution and refining our strategies to drive profitable growth in the current market environment.

We are also closely monitoring the impacts of COVID-19 and general economic conditions on global supply chain, manufacturing, and logistics operations. As inflationary pressures increase, we anticipate that our production and operating costs will similarly increase. In addition, COVID-19 and other events, including port closures or labor shortages, have resulted in the continuation or worsening of manufacturing and shipping costs, delays and constraints. While most of our domestic suppliers have been able to continue operations and provide necessary materials when needed, we have experienced some constraints from certain suppliers, with respect to both the availability and cost of materials. We have also experienced some delays in shipments from our suppliers. Any significant delay or interruption in our supply chain could impair our ability to meet the demands of our customers and could negatively impact our business.

Mattress Firm Relationship

On November 8, 2021, Purple LLC and Mattress Firm agreed to terminate the September 2018 retailer agreement and replace it with a new agreement that has terms consistent with the Company’s standard retailer agreement. This new agreement provides opportunity for continued partnership and growth with Mattress Firm while also eliminating the prior exclusivity arrangements. With the constraints on entering markets in which Mattress Firm conducts business no longer in place, this creates opportunities to partner with new specialty retailers that were previously not available to us.

Revolving Line of Credit and Amendment

In September 2020, Purple LLC entered into a financing arrangement with KeyBank National Association and a group of financial institutions (the “2020 Credit Agreement”) that provided for a $45.0 million term loan and a $55.0 million revolving line of credit. In November 2021, the Company executed a $55.0 million draw on its revolving line of credit, which represented the full amount available under the line. The outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit was classified as long-term debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021.

Our operating and financial results for the year ended December 31, 2021 did not satisfy our financial and performance covenants required pursuant to the 2020 Credit Agreement. In order to avoid a breach of such covenants and related default, on February 28, 2022, prior to the covenant compliance certification date under the 2020 Credit Agreement, we entered into the first amendment of the 2020 Credit Agreement. The amendment contains a covenant waiver period such that the net leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio will not be

3

tested for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021 through the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022. Other changes in the amendment include modification of leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage definitions and thresholds, the addition of minimum liquidity requirements with mandatory prepayments of the revolving loan if cash exceeds $25.0 million, new weekly and monthly reporting requirements, limits on the amount of capital expenditures, the addition of a lease incurrence test for opening additional showrooms, and additional negative covenants during a covenant amendment period that will extend into 2023 until certain conditions are met. In addition, the interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the 2020 Credit Agreement changed from LIBOR with a floor of 0.5% plus an applicable margin (historically at 3.0%) to an initial rate of SOFR with a floor of 0.5% plus 4.75%, for a total rate of 5.25% as long as the applicable liquidity threshold is met. If it is not met, then the interest rate goes to SOFR with a floor of 0.5% plus 9.00%. Once the consolidated leverage ratio is below 3.00 to 1.00, the interest rate will be based on SOFR with a floor of 0.5% plus a 3.00% to 3.75% depending on the consolidated leverage ratio. Pursuant to the amendment, we paid fees and expenses of $0.9 million and prepaid all principal payments due in 2022 of $2.5 million.

Outlook for Growth

To support our plans for future growth, we are initially focusing on the following immediate opportunities:

• Right-size labor force and effectively manage labor

• Manage capacity utilization to promote efficient use of production facilities as we grow into production footprint

• Develop and execute on strategies to meaningfully expand our wholesale presence

• Build premium brand position to deliver 20% market share of the premium mattress category, from current approximately 11% market share

• Manage input costs, operating efficiencies, and pricing to offset gross margin erosion, with a goal to return gross margins to approximately the levels achieved in 2020 by the end of 2022

• Strengthen research and development disciplines and go-to-market processes in order to expand our current categories and position our business to eventually expand to adjacent categories

There is no guarantee that we will be able to effectively execute on these opportunities, which are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including the risks described under “Part I—Item 1A—Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and elsewhere herein. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those described above. In addition, we may, in the future, adapt these focuses in response to changes in the market or our business.

Purple Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on May 19, 2015 as a special purpose acquisition company under the name of GPAC.

The Securities We May Offer

We may offer up to $100,000,000 of Class A common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt securities, subscription rights and units in one or more offerings and in any combination. This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer. A prospectus supplement, which we will provide each time we offer securities, will describe the specific amounts, prices and terms of these securities.

Common Stock

Holders of our Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting rights. Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of our Class A common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available if our board of directors, in its discretion, determines to issue dividends and then only at the times and in the amounts that our board of directors may determine. If we become subject to a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders would be distributable ratably among the holders of our Class A common stock and any participating preferred stock outstanding at that time, subject to prior satisfaction of all outstanding debt and liabilities and the preferential rights of and the payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding shares of preferred stock.

Preferred Stock

Our board of directors has the authority, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to issue preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations or restrictions, in each case without further vote or action by our stockholders.

Each series of preferred stock will be more fully described in the particular prospectus supplement that will accompany this prospectus, including redemption provisions, rights in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, voting rights and rights to convert into Class A common stock.

Warrants

We may issue warrants for the purchase of Class A common stock, preferred stock or debt securities. We may issue warrants independently or together with other securities.

Debt Securities

We may offer secured or unsecured obligations in the form of one or more series of senior or subordinated debt. The senior debt securities and the subordinated debt securities are together referred to in this prospectus as the “debt securities.” The subordinated debt securities generally will be entitled to payment only after payment of our senior debt. Senior debt generally includes all debt for money borrowed by us, except debt that is stated in the instrument governing the terms of that debt to be not senior to, or to have the same rank in right of payment as, or to be expressly junior to, the subordinated debt securities. We may issue debt securities that are convertible into shares of our Class A common stock.

The senior and subordinated debt securities will be issued under separate indentures between us and a trustee. We have summarized the general features of the debt securities to be governed by the indentures. These indentures have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We encourage you to read these indentures. Instructions on how you can get copies of these documents are provided in the section titled “Where You Can Find More Information.”

5

Subscription Rights

We may issue subscription rights to purchase our Class A common stock, preferred stock or debt securities. These subscription rights may be offered independently or together with any other security offered hereby and may or may not be transferable by the stockholder receiving the subscription rights in such offering.

Units

We may issue units comprised of one or more of the other classes of securities issued by us as described in this prospectus in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit.

6

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. The prospectus supplement applicable to each offering of our securities will contain a discussion of the risks applicable to an investment in our securities. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the specific factors discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement, together with all of the other information contained or incorporated by reference in the prospectus supplement or appearing or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. You should also consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed under “Part I—Item 1A—Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, which is incorporated herein by reference, and as may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future and any prospectus supplement related to a particular offering. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations. The occurrence of any of these known or unknown risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, each prospectus supplement and the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus and each prospectus supplement contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Statements in this prospectus that are not descriptions of historical facts are forward-looking statements that are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could negatively affect our business, operating results, financial condition and stock price.

These forward-looking statements relate to expectations for future financial performance, business strategies or expectations for Purple. Specifically, forward-looking statements may include statements relating to the future financial performance of the Company, changes in the markets in which Purple competes, expansion plans and opportunities, expansion of the direct to consumer market, our expectation of opening additional Purple retail showrooms, increases in capital, advertising and operational expenses, and other statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target” or similar expressions.

The forward-looking statements in this prospectus are made only as of the date hereof and are only predictions. It is routine for our internal projections and expectations to change throughout the year, and any forward-looking statements based upon these projections or expectations may change prior to the end of the next quarter or year. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. Future developments affecting us may not be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) and other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions are described under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. These risks and others described under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” may not be exhaustive.

We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. You should, however, review the factors and risks we describe in the reports we will file from time to time with the SEC after the date of this prospectus. See the section titled “Where You Can Find More Information.”

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. These statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this prospectus, and while we believe such information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, such information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and you are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will use the net proceeds from the sale of securities offered by this prospectus for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures, other corporate expenses and acquisitions of complementary products, technologies or businesses. We do not have agreements or commitments for any specific acquisitions at this time. The timing and amount of our actual expenditures will be based on many factors, including cash flows from operations and the anticipated growth of our business. As a result, unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, our management will have broad discretion to allocate the net proceeds of the offerings. Pending their ultimate use, we intend to invest the net proceeds in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments.

Class A Common Stock

Voting Rights

Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Unless specified in our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or as required by applicable provisions of the DGCL or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon is required to approve any such matter voted on by our stockholders. Directors are elected by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of our common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at an annual meeting of stockholders. If an incumbent director does not receive the required majority, the director shall tender his or her resignation promptly following certification of the election results. Within 90 days after the date of the certification of the election results, the board of directors will determine, based upon the recommendation of the Nomination & Governance Committee, whether to accept or reject the resignation or whether other action should be taken, and the board of directors will publicly disclose its decision and rationale. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors.

Dividends

Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to receive ratable dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor.

10

Liquidation

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the stockholders of our Class A common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the Class A common stock.

Preemptive or Other Rights

On February 1, 2018 the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the “Coliseum Subscription Agreement”) with Coliseum Capital Partners, L.P. (“CCP”) and Blackwell Partners LLC – Series A (“Blackwell”), pursuant to which CCP agreed to purchase from the Company 2,900,000 shares of Class A common stock of the Company at a purchase price of $10.00 per share and Blackwell agreed to purchase from the Company 1,100,000 shares of Class A common stock of the Company at a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Coliseum Private Placement”). The shares of the Company’s Class A common stock issued in the Coliseum Private Placement were not registered under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. In connection with the Coliseum Private Placement, Global Partner Sponsor I LLC (the “Sponsor”) assigned (i) an aggregate of 1,293,750 additional shares of Class A common stock (the “Coliseum Founder Shares”) to CCP and Blackwell and (ii) an aggregate of 3,282,500 warrants to purchase 1,641,250 shares of Class A common stock (the “Coliseum Warrants”) to CCP, Blackwell, and Coliseum Co-Invest Debt Fund, L.P. (“CDF” and together with CCP and Blackwell the “Coliseum Investors”)

In connection with the Coliseum Private Placement, we granted to the Coliseum Investors preemptive rights for the future sale of Company securities. So long as the Coliseum Investors hold at least 50% of the shares of Class A common stock acquired in the Coliseum Private Placement, the Coliseum Investors are entitled to purchase up to their pro rata share of all equity securities issued by the Company, subject to certain exceptions.

In addition, the Coliseum Subscription Agreement provides the Coliseum Investors (and any other funds or accounts managed by Coliseum Capital Management, LLC) with a right of first refusal to provide all, but not less than all, of any of the following financings by the Company or any of its subsidiaries: (i) preferred equity financing with a preference to or over any of the terms of the Company’s Class A common stock and (ii) any debt financing with a principal amount outstanding (together with all other debt provided by lender or group of lenders) greater than or equal to $10 million, other than (x) the replacement or refinancing of existing indebtedness or (y) an asset based loan on customary terms with an all in interest rate of not greater than 5% per year, by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

The foregoing summary of the Coliseum Subscription Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Coliseum Subscription Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.16 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Other than as described above in this section, our stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are also no redemption rights or sinking fund provisions applicable to our Class A common stock.

Registration Rights

Coliseum Registration Rights Agreement

On February 2, 2018, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Coliseum Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Coliseum Investors, providing for the registration under the Securities Act of (i) the shares issued in the Coliseum Private Placement, (ii) the Coliseum Warrants and the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Coliseum Warrants and (iii) the Coliseum Founder Shares, subject to customary terms and conditions.

11

The Coliseum Investors will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that we register such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In May 2021, one of these three demand registration rights was exercised, leaving rights to make written demands for two more registrations. In addition, these holders have “piggy-back” registration rights to include such securities in other registration statements filed by us and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. We will pay the costs and expenses of filing any such registration statements. Under the terms of the Coliseum Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay any underwriting discounts or selling commissions, placement agent or brokers fees, or similar discounts, commissions, or fees payable incurred in connection with the sale of such registrable securities.

Incremental Loan Warrants Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with Purple LLC’s entry into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement on February 26, 2019 with certain of the Coliseum Investors (the “Coliseum Lenders”), the Company issued to the Coliseum Lenders warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Incremental Loan Warrants”). The Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Incremental Loan Warrants Registration Rights Agreement”) providing for the registration under the Securities Act of the Incremental Loan Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock underlying the Incremental Loan Warrants, subject to customary terms and conditions. The Incremental Loan Warrants Registration Rights Agreement entitles the warrantholders to demand registration of these securities and also to piggyback on the registration of Company securities by the Company and other existing Company security holders. Under the terms of the Incremental Loan Warrants Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay any underwriting discounts or selling commissions, placement agent or brokers fees, or similar discounts, commissions, or fees payable incurred in connection with the sale of such registrable securities.

Class B Common Stock

The Class B common stock may only be issued to and held by InnoHold, LLC (“Innohold”) and its permitted transferees (collectively, the “Permitted Holders”).

Voting Rights

Holders of Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Unless specified in our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or as required by applicable provisions of the DGCL or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon is required to approve any such matter voted on by our stockholders. Directors are elected by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of our common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at an annual meeting of stockholders. If an incumbent director does not receive the required majority, the director shall tender his or her resignation promptly following certification of the election results. Within 90 days after the date of the certification of the election results, the board of directors will determine, based upon the recommendation of the Nomination & Governance Committee, whether to accept or reject the resignation or whether other action should be taken, and the board of directors will publicly disclose its decision and rationale. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors.

Dividends and Liquidation

The Class B common stock is not entitled to receive dividends, if declared by the board, or to receive any portion of any such assets in respect of their shares upon liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up of the Company.

12

Other Restrictions and Rights

There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to our Class B common stock.

At any time Purple LLC issues a Class B Common Unit (“Class B Unit”) to a Permitted Holder, the Company will issue a share of Class B common stock to such Permitted Holder. Upon an exchange of a Class B Unit pursuant to the Exchange Agreement dated February 2, 2018 with Purple LLC, InnoHold and the Class B Unit holders who became a party thereto (the “Exchange Agreement”) for a share of Class A common stock (an “Exchange”), the corresponding share of Class B common stock will be automatically cancelled for no consideration. Shares of Class B common stock may only be transferred to a person other than the Company or Purple LLC if the transferee is a Permitted Holder and an equal number of Class B Units are simultaneously transferred to such transferee.

Exchange Rights

An Exchange of Class B common stock and Class B Units (together with an equal number of shares of Class B common stock, the “Paired Securities”) must be made under the terms of the Exchange Agreement. The Exchange Agreement provides for an initial exchange ratio of (i) one share of Class B common stock plus (ii) one Class B Unit for one share of Class A common stock, in each case subject to certain adjustments.

Under the Exchange Agreement, holders of Paired Securities may elect to exchange all or any portion of their Paired Securities for shares of Class A common stock by delivering a notice to the Company setting forth the number of Paired Securities to be exchanged. Each share of Class B common stock and each Class B Unit so exchanged will be cancelled upon the issuance of the underlying Class A common stock.

In certain cases, adjustments to the exchange ratio will occur in case of a split, reclassification, recapitalization, subdivision or similar transaction of or relating to the Class B Units or the shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock or a transaction in which the Class A common stock is exchanged or exchanged into other securities or property. The exchange ratio will also adjust in certain circumstances when the Company acquires Class B Units other than through an exchange into shares of Class A common stock.

The right of a holder of Paired Securities to exchange may be limited by the Company if it reasonably determines in good faith that such restrictions are required by applicable law (including securities laws), such exchange would not be permitted under other agreements of such holder with the Company or its subsidiaries, including the operating agreement of Purple LLC, or if such exchange would cause Purple LLC to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” under applicable tax laws.

The Company and each holder of Paired Securities shall pay its own expense regarding the Exchange except that the Company shall be responsible for transfer taxes, stamp taxes and similar duties.

The foregoing summary of the Exchange Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Exchange Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.6 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Preferred Stock

Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, our preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The directors are expressly authorized, without stockholder approval other than as may be required by Nasdaq Global Market rules, to provide for the issuance of shares of the preferred stock in one or more series and to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series and to fix the voting rights, designations and other special rights or restrictions. The issuance of such shares of preferred stock could dilute the interest of, or impair the voting power of, our common stockholders. The issuance of such preferred stock could also be used as a method of discouraging, delaying, or preventing a change of control.

13

Warrants to Purchase Class A Common Stock

As of March 15, 2022, we had outstanding warrants to purchase Class A common stock as follows:

	Total Outstanding and Exercisable	Underlying Shares of Common Stock	Exercise Price per Share			Expiration Date
Sponsor Warrants issued in February 2018 initial public offering	1,855,751	927,875		$	11.50	February 2, 2023

There were 15,525,000 warrants (the “Public Warrants”) issued in the initial public offering of Global Partner Acquisition Corp. (the predecessor to the Company) and 12,815,000 warrants (the “Sponsor Warrants”) issued in a private placement simultaneously with such initial public offering. The Public Warrants were redeemed by the Company in accordance with their terms in November 2020. The terms of the Sponsor Warrants are described below.

Sponsor Warrants

Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one-half of one share of our Class A common stock at a price of $5.75 per half share ($11.50 per full share), subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time after March 4, 2018. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrantholder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of the Class A common stock. For example, if a warrantholder holds one warrant to purchase one half of a share of Class A common stock, such warrant will not be exercisable. If a warrantholder holds two warrants, such warrants will be exercisable for one share of the Class A common stock. Warrants must be exercised for a whole share. The warrants will expire February 2, 2023, at 5:00 p.m., New York time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

We will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of Class A common stock underlying such unit.

Registration Rights. We agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days, after the closing of our initial business combination, we would use our best efforts to file with the SEC the registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. That registration statement was filed within fifteen (15) business days of the Business Combination. We will use our best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if our Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement or register or qualify the shares under blue sky laws.

14

A holder of a warrant may notify us in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% (as specified by the holder) of the shares of Class A common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

Adjustment for Stock Splits and Other. If the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Class A common stock, or by a split-up of shares of Class A common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of Class A common stock. A rights offering to holders of Class A common stock entitling holders to purchase shares of Class A common stock at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a stock dividend of a number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Class A common stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A common stock) multiplied by (ii) one (1) minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of Class A common stock paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A common stock, in determining the price payable for Class A common stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of Class A common stock as reported during the ten trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of Class A common stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

In addition, if we, at any time while the warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of Class A common stock on account of such shares of Class A common stock (or other shares of our capital stock into which the warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above or (b) certain ordinary cash dividends, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Class A common stock in respect of such event.

If the number of outstanding shares of our Class A common stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Class A common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Class A common stock.

Whenever the number of shares of Class A common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Class A common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Class A common stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such shares of Class A common stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which we are the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which we are dissolved, the holders of the warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the warrants and in lieu of the shares of

15

our Class A common stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their warrants immediately prior to such event. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of Class A common stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of common stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within thirty days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the warrant agreement based on the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the warrant agreement) of the warrant.

Amendments. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants.

Exercise. The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrantholders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Class A common stock or any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of Class A common stock. After the issuance of shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

Pursuant to the warrant agreement between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (or its successor), for so long as the Sponsor or a permitted transferee of the Sponsor holds Sponsor Warrants, such holder may exercise the Sponsor Warrants on a cashless basis. If holders of the Sponsor Warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below), by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” means the average reported last sale price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. As of February 28, 2022, approximately 1.9 million Sponsor Warrants remained outstanding, which are exercisable for an aggregate of less than one million shares of Class A common stock. If the Sponsor Warrants are transferred other than to a permitted transferee, such warrants will no longer be exercisable on a cashless basis and we may call the warrants for redemption:

• in whole and not in part;

• at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

• upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrantholder; and

• if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $24.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before we send the notice of redemption to the warrantholders.

If and when such warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

16

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of our Class A common stock to be issued to the warrantholder.

The foregoing summary of the Sponsor Warrants does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the warrant agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 4.4 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Equity Awards

As of December 31, 2021, 2.1 million shares of Class A common stock remained available for issuance under our 2017 Equity Incentive Plan and stock-based compensation associated with equity awards issued under the plan during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 totaled $3.4 million.

Exclusive Jurisdiction

Unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for:

• any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of us;

• any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders;

• any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; or

• any action asserting a claim against us governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that, in connection with any action, a court could find the choice of forum provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in such action.

Certain Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL regulating corporate takeovers. This statute prevents certain Delaware corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a “merger” with:

• a stockholder who owns 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock (otherwise known as an “interested stockholder”);

• an affiliate of an interested stockholder; or

• an associate of an interested stockholder, for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder.

A “merger” includes a merger or sale of more than 10% of our assets. However, the above provisions of Section 203 do not apply if:

• our board of directors approves the transaction that made the stockholder an “interested stockholder,” prior to the date of the transaction;

• after the completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, that stockholder owned at least 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, other than statutorily excluded shares of common stock; or

17

• on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the merger is approved by our board of directors and authorized at a meeting of its stockholders, and not by written consent, by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations. Our Bylaws provide advance notice procedures for stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders and specify certain requirements regarding the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions might preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders if the proper procedures are not followed.

Additional Authorized Shares of Capital Stock. The additional shares of authorized common stock and preferred stock available for issuance under our Certificate of Incorporation could be issued at such times, under such circumstances and with such terms and conditions as to impede a change in control.

Issuance of Undesignated Preferred Stock. Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue shares of undesignated preferred stock with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by our board of directors. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock would enable our board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or other means.

Limitations on Stockholder Ability to Act by Written Consent or Call Special Meetings. The Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the right of stockholders to act by written consent without a meeting. Further, the Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by the Chairman of the board of directors, the Chief Executive Officer, or the board of directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the board of directors.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

Our transfer agent and registrar is Philadelphia Stock Transfer, Inc.. The transfer agent and registrar’s address is 2320 Haverford Rd., Suite 230, Ardmore, Pennsylvania 19003. Their telephone number is (484) 416-3124.

Market Listing

Our Class A common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “PRPL.”

These descriptions do not restate those warrants in their entirety and may not contain all the information that you may find useful. We urge you to read the applicable warrants because they, and not the summaries, define your rights as holders of the warrants.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

This section describes the general terms and provisions of the debt securities that we may offer using this prospectus and the related indenture. This section is only a summary and does not purport to be complete. You must look to the relevant form of debt security and the related indenture for a full understanding of all terms of any series of debt securities. The form of debt security and the related indenture have been or will be filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. See “Where You Can Find More Information” for information on how to obtain copies.

We may issue debt securities from time to time, in one or more series, as either senior or subordinated debt or as senior or subordinated convertible debt. The senior debt securities will rank equally with any other unsecured and unsubordinated debt. The subordinated debt securities will be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner described in the instrument governing the debt, to all of our senior indebtedness. Convertible debt securities will be convertible into shares of our Class A common stock or preferred stock. Conversion may be mandatory or at the holder’s option and would be at prescribed conversion rates. While the terms we have summarized herein will apply generally to any debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any debt securities that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any debt securities offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below. Unless otherwise mentioned or unless the context requires otherwise, whenever we refer to the indenture, we also are referring to any supplemental indentures thereto that specify the terms of a particular series of debt securities.

We will issue the debt securities under an indenture that we will enter into with the trustee named in the indenture. The indentures will be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or the Trust Indenture Act. We have filed the forms of indentures as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and supplemental indentures and forms of debt securities containing the terms of the debt securities being offered will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part or will be incorporated by reference from reports that we file with the SEC.

The following summary of material provisions of the debt securities and the indentures is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the indenture applicable to a particular series of debt securities. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements and any related free writing prospectuses related to the debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus, as well as the complete indenture that contains the terms of the debt securities.

General

The indentures do not limit the amount of debt securities that we may issue. They provide that we may issue debt securities up to the principal amount that we may authorize and may be in any currency or currency unit that we may designate. Except for the limitations on consolidation, merger and sale of all or substantially all of our assets contained in the indentures, the terms of the indentures do not contain any covenants or other provisions designed to give holders of any debt securities protection against changes in our operations, financial condition or transactions involving us.

We may issue the debt securities issued under the indentures as “discount securities,” which means they may be sold at a discount below their stated principal amount. These debt securities, as well as other debt securities that are not issued at a discount, may be issued with “original issue discount,” or OID, for U.S. federal income tax purposes because of interest payment and other characteristics or terms of the debt securities. Material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to debt securities issued with OID will be described in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement.

• the subordination terms of the debt securities of the series, if any.

Conversion or Exchange Rights

We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms on which a series of debt securities may be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of our Class A common stock or our other securities. We will include provisions as to settlement upon conversion or exchange and whether conversion or exchange is mandatory, at the option of the holder or at our option. We may include provisions pursuant to which the number of shares of our Class A common stock or our other securities that the holders of the series of debt securities receive would be subject to adjustment.

Consolidation, Merger or Sale

Unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular series of debt securities, the indenture will not contain any covenant that restricts our ability to merge or consolidate, or sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of our assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety. However, any successor to or acquirer of such assets (other than a subsidiary of ours) must assume all of our obligations under the indenture or the debt securities, as appropriate.

23

Events of Default under the Indentures

Unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular series of debt securities, the following are events of default under the indentures with respect to any series of debt securities that we may issue:

• if we fail to pay any installment of interest on any series of debt securities, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default continues for a period of 90 days; provided, however, that a valid extension of an interest payment period by us in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental thereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for this purpose;

• if we fail to pay the principal of, or premium, if any, on any series of debt securities as and when the same shall become due and payable whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise, or in any payment required by any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to such series; provided, however, that a valid extension of the maturity of such debt securities in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental thereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of principal or premium, if any;

• if we fail to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in the debt securities or the indenture, other than a covenant specifically relating to another series of debt securities, and our failure continues for 90 days after we receive written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied and stating that such is a notice of default thereunder, from the trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the applicable series; and

• if specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur.

If an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series occurs and is continuing, other than an event of default specified in the last bullet point above, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series, by notice to us in writing, and to the trustee if notice is given by such holders, may declare the unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, on such series of debt securities due and payable immediately. If an event of default specified in the last bullet point above occurs with respect to us, the principal amount of and accrued interest, if any, on each issue of debt securities then outstanding shall be due and payable without any notice or other action on the part of the trustee or any holder.

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of an affected series may waive any default or event of default with respect to the series and its consequences, except defaults or events of default regarding payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, such debt securities, unless we have cured the default or event of default in accordance with the indentures. Any waiver shall cure the default or event of default.

Subject to the terms of the indentures, if an event of default under an indenture shall occur and be continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under such indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the applicable series of debt securities, unless such holders have offered the trustee reasonable indemnity. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee, with respect to the debt securities of that series, provided that:

• the direction so given by the holder is not in conflict with any law or the applicable indenture; and

• subject to its duties under the Trust Indenture Act, the trustee need not take any action that might involve it in personal liability or might be unduly prejudicial to the holders not involved in the proceeding.

24

A holder of the debt securities of any series will have the right to institute a proceeding under the indenture or to appoint a receiver or trustee, or to seek other remedies only if:

• the holder has given written notice to the trustee of a continuing event of default with respect to that series;

• the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request;

• such holders have offered to the trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred by the trustee in compliance with the request; and

• the trustee does not institute the proceeding, and does not receive from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series other conflicting directions within 90 days after the notice, request and offer.

These limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of debt securities if we default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the debt securities.

We will periodically file statements with the trustee regarding our compliance with specified covenants in the indentures.

Modification of Indenture; Waiver

Unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular series of debt securities, we and the trustee may change an indenture without the consent of any holders with respect to specific matters:

• to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the indenture or in the debt securities of any series;

• to comply with the provisions described above under “Description of Debt Securities-Consolidation, Merger or Sale;

• to provide for uncertificated debt securities in addition to or in place of certificated debt securities;

• to add to our covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions such new covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the benefit of the holders of all or any series of debt securities, to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and the continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an event of default or to surrender any right or power conferred upon us in the indenture;

• to add to, delete from or revise the conditions, limitations, and restrictions on the authorized amount, terms, or purposes of issue, authentication and delivery of debt securities, as set forth in the indenture;

• to make any change that does not adversely affect the interests of any holder of debt securities of any series in any material respect;

• to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of the debt securities of any series as provided above under “Description of Debt Securities-General” to establish the form of any certifications required to be furnished pursuant to the terms of the indenture or any series of debt securities, or to add to the rights of the holders of any series of debt securities;

• to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under any indenture by a successor trustee; or

• to comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection with the qualification of any indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

25

In addition, under the indentures, the rights of holders of a series of debt securities may be changed by us and the trustee with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series that is affected. However, unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular series of debt securities, we and the trustee may make the following changes only with the consent of each holder of any outstanding debt securities affected:

• extending the fixed maturity of any debt securities of any series;

• reducing the principal amount, reducing the rate of or extending the time of payment of interest, or reducing any premium payable upon the redemption of any series of any debt securities; or

• reducing the percentage of debt securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver.

Discharge

The indentures provide that we can elect to be discharged from our obligations with respect to one or more series of debt securities, except for specified obligations, including obligations to:

• register the transfer or exchange of debt securities of the series;

• replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of the series;

• maintain paying agencies;

• hold monies for payment in trust;

• recover excess money held by the trustee;

• compensate and indemnify the trustee; and

• appoint any successor trustee.

In order to exercise our rights to be discharged, we must deposit with the trustee money or government obligations sufficient to pay all the principal of, any premium, if any, and interest on, the debt securities of the series on the dates payments are due.

Form, Exchange and Transfer

We will issue the debt securities of each series only in fully registered form without coupons and, unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The indentures provide that we may issue debt securities of a series in temporary or permanent global form and as book-entry securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, or another depositary named by us and identified in the applicable prospectus supplement with respect to that series. To the extent the debt securities of a series are issued in global form and as book-entry, a description of terms relating to any book-entry securities will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. To the extent the debt securities of a series are issued in global form and as book-entry, a description of terms relating to any book-entry securities will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

At the option of the holder, subject to the terms of the applicable indenture and the limitations applicable to global securities described in the applicable prospectus supplement, the holder of the debt securities of any series can exchange the debt securities for other debt securities of the same series, in any authorized denomination and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

Subject to the terms of the applicable indenture and the limitations applicable to global securities set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the debt securities may present the debt securities for

26

exchange or for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or with the form of transfer endorsed thereon duly executed if so required by us or the security registrar, at the office of the security registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by us for this purpose. Unless otherwise provided in the debt securities that the holder presents for transfer or exchange, we will impose no service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but we may require payment of any taxes or other governmental charges.

We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement the security registrar, and any transfer agent in addition to the security registrar, that we initially designate for any debt securities. We may at any time designate additional transfer agents or rescind the designation of any transfer agent or approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts, except that we will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of each series.

If we elect to redeem the debt securities of any series, we will not be required to:

• issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any debt securities of that series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of any debt securities that may be selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing; or

• register the transfer of or exchange of any debt securities so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any debt securities we are redeeming in part.

Information Concerning the Trustee

The trustee, other than during the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under an indenture, undertakes to perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in the applicable indenture. Upon an event of default under an indenture, the trustee must use the same degree of care as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Subject to this provision, the trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of the powers given it by the indenture at the request of any holder of debt securities unless it is offered reasonable security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that it might incur.

Payment and Paying Agents

Unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make payment of the interest on any debt securities on any interest payment date to the person in whose name the debt securities, or one or more predecessor securities, are registered at the close of business on the regular record date for the interest.

We will pay principal of and any premium and interest on the debt securities of a particular series at the office of the paying agents designated by us, except that unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make interest payments by check that we will mail to the holder or by wire transfer to certain holders. Unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will designate the corporate trust office of the trustee as our sole paying agent for payments with respect to debt securities of each series. We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement any other paying agents that we initially designate for the debt securities of a particular series. We will maintain a paying agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of a particular series.

All money we pay to a paying agent or the trustee for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any debt securities that remains unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable will be repaid to us, and the holder of the debt security thereafter may look only to us for payment thereof.

Governing Law

The indentures and the debt securities, and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to the indenture or the debt securities, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act is applicable.

27

DESCRIPTION OF SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS

We may issue subscription rights to purchase our Class A common stock, preferred stock or debt securities. These subscription rights may be offered independently or together with any other security offered hereby and may or may not be transferable by the stockholder receiving the subscription rights in such offering. In connection with any offering of subscription rights, we may enter into a standby arrangement with one or more underwriters or other purchasers pursuant to which the underwriters or other purchasers may be required to purchase any securities remaining unsubscribed for after such offering.

The prospectus supplement relating to any subscription rights we offer, if any, will, to the extent applicable, include specific terms relating to the offering, including some or all of the following:

• the price, if any, for the subscription rights;

• the exercise price payable for our Class A common stock, preferred stock or debt securities upon the exercise of the subscription rights;

• the number of subscription rights to be issued to each stockholder;

• the number and terms of our Class A common stock, preferred stock or debt securities which may be purchased per each subscription right;

• the extent to which the subscription rights are transferable;

• any other terms of the subscription rights, including the terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of the subscription rights;

• the date on which the right to exercise the subscription rights shall commence, and the date on which the subscription rights shall expire;

• the extent to which the subscription rights may include an over-subscription privilege with respect to unsubscribed securities or an over-allotment privilege to the extent the securities are fully subscribed; and

• if applicable, the material terms of any standby underwriting or purchase arrangement which may be entered into by the Company in connection with the offering of subscription rights.

The descriptions of the subscription rights in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement are summaries of the material provisions of the applicable subscription right agreements. These descriptions do not restate those subscription right agreements in their entirety and may not contain all the information that you may find useful. We urge you to read the applicable subscription right agreements because they, and not the summaries, define your rights as holders of the subscription rights. For more information, please review the forms of the relevant subscription right agreements, which will be filed with the SEC promptly after the offering of subscription rights and will be available as described in the section titled “Where You Can Find More Information.”

28

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

We may issue units comprised of one or more of the other classes of securities described in this prospectus in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The units may be issued under unit agreements to be entered into between us and a unit agent, as detailed in the prospectus supplement relating to the units being offered. The prospectus supplement will describe:

• the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances the securities comprising the units may be held or transferred separately;

• a description of the terms of any unit agreement governing the units;

• a description of the provisions for the payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units;

• a discussion of material federal income tax considerations, if applicable; and

• whether the units if issued as a separate security will be issued in fully registered or global form.

The descriptions of the units in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement are summaries of the material provisions of the applicable unit agreements. These descriptions do not restate those unit agreements in their entirety and may not contain all the information that you may find useful. We urge you to read the applicable unit agreements because they, and not the summaries, define your rights as holders of the units. For more information, please review the forms of the relevant unit agreements, which will be filed with the SEC promptly after the offering of units and will be available as described in the section titled “Where You Can Find More Information.”

29

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell the securities offered through this prospectus (1) to or through underwriters or dealers, (2) directly to purchasers, including our affiliates, (3) through agents, including ordinary brokerage transactions, block trades, placements, “at the market” transactions, put or call transactions or in any other way not involving market makers or established trading markets, (4) through a combination of any of these methods or (5) through any other methods described in a prospectus supplement. The securities may be distributed at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, market prices prevailing at the time of sale, prices related to the prevailing market prices, or negotiated prices. Any prospectus supplement will include, to the extent applicable, the following information:

• the terms of the offering;

• the names of any underwriters or agents;

• the name or names of any managing underwriter or underwriters;

• the purchase price of the securities;

• the net proceeds from the sale of the securities;

• any delayed delivery arrangements;

• any underwriting discounts, commissions and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation;

• any initial public offering price;

• any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and

• any commissions paid to agents.

We may engage in “at the market” offerings in an existing trading market in accordance with Rule 415(a)(4). Any “at the market” offering will be through an underwriter or underwriters acting as principal or agent for us.

Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. The applicable prospectus supplement may provide that the original issue date for your securities may be more than two scheduled business days after the trade date for your securities. Accordingly, in such a case, if you wish to trade securities on any date prior to the second business day before the original issue date for your securities, you will be required, by virtue of the fact that your securities initially are expected to settle in more than two scheduled business days after the trade date for your securities, to make alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

We may issue to the holders of our Class A common stock, on a pro rata basis for no consideration, subscription rights to purchase shares of our Class A common stock or preferred stock. These subscription rights may or may not be transferable by stockholders. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of any offering of our common or preferred stock through the issuance of subscription rights, including the terms of the subscription rights offering, the terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of the subscription rights and, if applicable, the material terms of any standby underwriting or purchase arrangement entered into by us in connection with the offering of common or preferred stock through the issuance of subscription rights.

Sale through Underwriters or Dealers

If underwriters are used in the sale, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account, including through underwriting, purchase, security lending or repurchase agreements with us. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions.

30

Underwriters may sell the securities in order to facilitate transactions in any of our other securities (described in this prospectus or otherwise), including other public or private transactions and short sales. Underwriters may offer securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers. The prospectus supplement will include the names of the principal underwriters, the respective amount of securities underwritten, the nature of the obligation of the underwriters to take the securities and the nature of any material relationship between an underwriter and us.

Some or all of the securities that we offer through this prospectus may be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriters to whom we sell securities for public offering and sale may make a market in those securities, but they will not be obligated to do so and they may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. Accordingly, we cannot assure you of the liquidity of, or continued trading markets for, any securities offered pursuant to this prospectus.

If dealers are used in the sale of securities offered through this prospectus, we will sell the securities to them as principals. They may then resell those securities to the public at varying prices determined by the dealers at the time of resale. The prospectus supplement will include the names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction.

Direct Sales and Sales through Agents

We may sell the securities offered through this prospectus directly. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved.

Securities may also be sold through agents designated from time to time. Any required prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities and will describe any commissions payable to the agent by us. Unless otherwise indicated in such prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment.

We may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any sale of those securities. The terms of any such sales will be described in any required prospectus supplement.

Delayed Delivery Contracts

If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase securities at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.

Market Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions

Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, each series of offered securities by us will be a new issue and will have no established trading market. We may elect to list any series of offered securities on an exchange. Any underwriters that we use in the sale of such offered securities may make a market in such securities, but may discontinue such market making at any time without notice. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that the securities will have a liquid trading market.

31

Any underwriter may engage in overallotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Overallotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which creates a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time. These transactions may be effected on any exchange or over-the-counter market or otherwise.

Any agents and underwriters who are qualified market makers on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC may engage in passive market making transactions in the securities on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering, before the commencement of offers or sales of the securities. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, however, the passive market maker’s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

Derivative Transactions and Hedging

We, the underwriters or other agents may engage in derivative transactions involving the securities. These derivatives may consist of short sale transactions and other hedging activities. The underwriters or agents may acquire a long or short position in the securities, hold or resell securities acquired and purchase options or futures on the securities and other derivative instruments with returns linked to or related to changes in the price of the securities. In order to facilitate these derivative transactions, we may enter into security lending or repurchase agreements with the underwriters or agents. The underwriters or agents may effect the derivative transactions through sales of the securities to the public, including short sales, or by lending the securities in order to facilitate short sale transactions by others. The underwriters or agents may also use the securities purchased or borrowed from us or others (or, in the case of derivatives, securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives) to directly or indirectly settle sales of the securities or close out any related open borrowings of the securities.

Electronic Auctions

We may also make sales through the Internet or through other electronic means. Since we may from time to time elect to offer securities directly to the public, with or without the involvement of agents, underwriters or dealers, utilizing the Internet or other forms of electronic bidding or ordering systems for the pricing and allocation of such securities, you should pay particular attention to the description of that system we will provide in a prospectus supplement.

Such electronic system may allow bidders to directly participate, through electronic access to an auction site, by submitting conditional offers to buy that are subject to acceptance by us, and which may directly affect the price or other terms and conditions at which such securities are sold. These bidding or ordering systems may present to each bidder, on a so-called “real-time” basis, relevant information to assist in making a bid, such as the clearing spread at which the offering would be sold, based on the bids submitted, and whether a bidder’s individual bids would be accepted, prorated or rejected. For example, in the case of a debt security, the clearing spread could be indicated as a number of “basis points” above an index treasury note. Of course, many pricing methods can and may also be used.

32

Upon completion of such an electronic auction process, securities will be allocated based on prices bid, terms of bid or other factors. The final offering price at which securities would be sold and the allocation of securities among bidders would be based in whole or in part on the results of the Internet or other electronic bidding process or auction.

General Information

Agents, underwriters and dealers may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Agents, underwriters and dealers may engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of their businesses.
