NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) and in conformity with rules applicable to quarterly financial information. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2022 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are unaudited. All adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise noted, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for these interim periods have been included.

Readers of this unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated quarterly financial information should refer to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto of Redbox Entertainment Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Redbox,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us”) for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and also available on our website (www.redbox.com). Certain footnote disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited financial statements or which are not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting have been condensed or omitted.

Refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of the Company’s accounting policies and estimates. Such Annual Report also contains a discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates.

Business Update, Going Concern and Strategic Alternatives

Historically, rentals have been correlated with the number and quality of new theatrical titles released in a quarter. During 2021 and for the first six months of 2022, Redbox’s business was negatively impacted by the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in fewer than expected theatrical releases. In addition, impacts from the Omicron variant has caused further disruption to the business. As such, Redbox rentals have not recovered to the extent expected and, notwithstanding the year-over-year increase in new theatrical releases, were lower than pre-COVID-19 levels. As part of an effort to expand its business and transform into a multi-faceted entertainment company, during the fourth quarter of 2021 and into the first six months of 2022, Redbox increased its marketing and on-demand expenditures. Costs also increased as Redbox purchased more content, which were not offset by an increase in revenues.

Redbox has been exploring a number of potential strategic alternatives with respect to the Company’s corporate or capital structure and seeking financing to fund operations and one-time restructuring costs. In March 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors established a Strategic Review Committee to, among other things, consider and oversee strategic alternatives or transactions that may be available to the Company with respect to its corporate or capital structure. Redbox is also executing on a previously announced series of restructuring actions and initiatives to improve its efficiency and reduce its cost structure, including, but not limited to, (i) optimizing its kiosk network and (ii) executing a workforce reduction across its supply chain and corporate teams. However, the risks and uncertainties related to the ongoing adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operating results, together with the Company’s recurring operating losses, accumulated deficit and negative working capital, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, after consideration of the strategic initiatives outlined below, within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are issued.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company generated negative cash flows from operations of $49.4 million, had an accumulated deficit of $356.9 million and negative working capital of $77.2 million. The Company evaluated the impact of the additional financing and restructuring actions and initiatives further described below on its ability to continue as a going concern.

On March 29, 2022, the Company completed a reduction in force of approximately 150 employees. One-time restructuring charges of $3.8 million were incurred, the substantial amount of which related to severance. The Company estimates that the workforce reduction will decrease its annual operating costs by approximately $13.1 million.

As a further condition of the Sixth Amendment, the Company issued to HPS Investment Partners, LLC (the administrative agent and collateral agent to the Credit Agreement) and certain affiliates (as defined in the Credit Agreement) warrants, with an exercise price of $0.0001 per share (the “HPS Warrants”), to purchase 11,416,700 shares of Class A common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) in the event certain milestones were not met under the Amended Credit Agreement. Upon signing of the Merger Agreement (as defined below), the HPS Warrants became void and all rights of the warrant holders thereunder to exercise the HPS Warrants ceased.

In connection with the Sixth Amendment, on April 15, 2022, the Company entered into a Voting and Support Agreement with AP VIII Aspen Holdings, L.P. (“Aspen”), Seaport Global SPAC, LLC and Redwood Holdco, LP (“Redwood”), (collectively the “Stockholders”), whereby the Stockholders agreed to vote their shares of the Company (i) in favor of any strategic transaction approved and recommended by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), or any committee to which the Board delegates authority, subject to certain terms and conditions (each, a “Transaction”), (ii) in opposition to any transaction involving the Company that has not been approved and recommend by the Board, and (iii) in favor of any directors that are proposed or nominated to the Board by the Company at any annual meeting of the Company.

The Company further agreed, pursuant to the Voting and Support Agreement, to (i) permanently reduce a portion of the Union Revolving Credit Facility in an amount equal to $10.6 million (and the Company made such reduction) and (ii) among other agreements, refrain from borrowing under the Union Revolving Credit Facility without the consent of Aspen and Redwood Holdco, LP (other than with respect to certain scheduled borrowings and borrowings to cover interest, fees and expenses).

In connection with the execution of the Sixth Amendment, the Company also implemented certain changes to the composition and size of its Board of Directors as further described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 19, 2022. The Strategic Review Committee of the Board was also dissolved in connection with these changes.

In connection with the Company’s entry into the Voting and Support Agreement, Redwood permanently waived the “Early Termination Payment” by the Company (or an affiliate) to Redwood that could have resulted from a provision in that certain Tax Receivable Agreement dated as of October 22, 2021 (“TRA”), which would have been triggered upon the change to the Board’s composition.

Additionally, under the Voting and Support Agreement, the Company and Redwood agreed, in connection with the consummation of a Transaction, to (a) terminate the TRA upon the consummation of a Transaction and (b) waive all claims under the TRA with such waiver being effective upon the consummation of such Transaction.

On May 10, 2022, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc. (“CSSE”), and the other parties thereto (the “Merger Agreement”). As a result, additional borrowings under the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility became available upon the Company’s entry into the merger agreement with CSSE provided, that the Company, under the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility, restricts its borrowings to $45.0 million.

At a special meeting of stockholders on August 9, 2022 (the “Special Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders approved the merger proposal with CSSE. The merger closed on August 11, 2022. As a result, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of CSSE. Effective on the closing date, the Company’s Common Stock and warrants ceased to be traded on the NASDAQ and the warrants have been assumed by CSSE and amended and began trading on NASDAQ. For additional information regarding the CSSE merger, refer to Note 17: Subsequent Events.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 3: Leases

The Company adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption and without restating comparative periods; rather the effect of the change is recorded at the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allows us to carryforward historical lease classification. In addition, we are electing the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases. Lastly, we elect the short-term lease recognition exemption for our leases. This means for short-term leases, we will not recognize Right of Use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU asset or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. In preparation for adoption of the standard, we have implemented internal controls to enable the preparation of financial information.

The Company has operating leases primarily for office space, distribution centers, and other equipment. The Company also has finance leases for their fleet. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of up to approximately 4 years. Most leases are not cancelable prior to their expiration. The expected term of the lease used for computing the lease liability and ROU asset and determining the classification of the lease as operating or financing may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present, such as, whether a contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration

Operating Leases. Operating lease ROU assets, representing the Company's right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, are reflected in "Operating lease right-of-use assets" in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease liabilities, representing the present value of the Company's obligation to make payments over the lease term, are reflected in “Operating lease liabilities, current portion” and “Operating lease liabilities, non-current portion” in the Company's June 30, 2022 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company has entered into various short-term operating leases which have an initial term of 12 months or less. These short-term leases are not recorded on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Finance Leases. Finance lease ROU assets are included in "Property and equipment, net" and finance lease liabilities are included in the “Accrued and other current liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities” line items in the Company's June 30, 2022 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Finance lease ROU assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Although separation of lease and non-lease components is required, certain practical expedients are available to entities. We will not elect to take advantage of the ability to combine lease and non-lease components. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately.

Table of Contents

The present value of the lease payments is calculated using a rate implicit in the lease, when readily determinable. However, as most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments for the majority of its leases.

Variable lease payments that are based on an index or rate are included in the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities at lease inception. All other variable lease payments are expensed as incurred and are not included in the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities.

The components of lease cost were as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,

Note 4: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that could more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company completed a quantitative impairment analysis for goodwill related to its Legacy and Digital reporting units due to its financial performance. Based on this analysis, the Company concluded the fair value of its Legacy and Digital reporting units exceeded its carrying value and as such, 0 impairment charge was recorded.

As part of the Company’s impairment analysis, the determination of the fair value of the Company’s reporting units requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions including the business and financial performance of the Company’s reporting units, as well as how such performance may be impacted by COVID-19. These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to: the selection of appropriate peer group companies, control premiums appropriate for acquisitions in the industries in which the Company competes, discount rates, terminal growth rates, forecasts of revenue, operating income, depreciation, amortization and capital expenditures, including considering the impact of COVID-19. Certain events or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the underlying key assumptions and ultimately affect the estimated fair values of the Company’s reporting units include such items as: (i) a decrease in expected future new release movie titles resulting from the prolonged effects of the COVID-19 pandemic (ii) an increase in competition across streaming platforms resulting in fewer titles available at Redbox or fewer rental transactions and (iii) the inability to achieve cost savings or growth initiative targets within an expected timeframe.

Although the Company believes its estimates of fair value are reasonable, actual financial results could differ from those estimates due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making such estimates. Changes in assumptions concerning future financial results or other underlying assumptions, including the impact of COVID- 19, could have a significant impact on either the fair value of the reporting units, the amount of any goodwill impairment charges, or both. These estimates can be affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, the impact of COVID-19, its severity, duration and its impact on global economies, general economic conditions as well as the Company’s profitability. The Company will continue to monitor these potential impacts, including the impact of COVID-19 and economic, industry and market trends and the impact these may have on its Legacy and Digital reporting units.

The following table summarizes the changes in goodwill by reportable segment:


	Legacy		Digital

On October 20, 2017, Redbox Automated Retail, LLC (“RAR”) entered into a credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”), which provided for:

●

a first lien term loan facility (the “Term Loan B”), in an aggregate principal amount of $425.0 million, with a five-year maturity; and

●

a first lien revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan B, the “Senior Facilities”), in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million, with a five-year maturity.

The Term Loan B was made available to RAR immediately upon closing and was used in part to retire all $280.0 million of the Company’s existing debt and to settle closing costs associated with the new Term Loan B totaling $19.5 million of which $4.6 million was paid to Apollo Global Securities, LLC, an affiliate of Apollo, for services provided in connection with the financing. The balance of the Term Loan B proceeds were used towards a dividend, occurring on the same day, with total dividends of $160.0 million to equity holders of RAR. Additionally, at the execution of the new Credit Agreement, RAR wrote-off unamortized deferred financing costs of $21.7 million related to the extinguishment of the entire debt under the prior credit agreement.

On September 7, 2018, RAR entered into an Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Amendment provided for, among other things, (i) an incremental Term B-1 Loan (“Term Loan B-1”) in an original aggregate principal amount of $85.8 million and (ii) the payment of one or more restricted payments to shareholders of RAR in an aggregate amount not to exceed $115.0 million. The proceeds received from the Amendment along with cash flow from the business were used towards a dividend distribution to equity holders of RAR totaling $115.0 million that was paid within five business days of September 7, 2018, and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Amendment totaling $3.7 million. The additional loan under Term Loan B-1 has terms identical to the original Term Loan B.

On September 30, 2020, RAR entered into the second amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) to, among other things, increase the total net leverage covenant during the remaining term of the Credit Agreement and revise the quarterly amortization payment schedule.

Table of Contents

On December 28, 2020, RAR entered into a third amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”). The amendment deferred the December 2020 amortization payment to March 2021.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s Senior Facilities matured on October 20, 2022, and subsequent to the Amendment, Second Amendment and Third Amendment consisted of:

●

the Term Loan B, in an aggregate principal amount of $425.0 million;

●

the Term Loan B-1, in an aggregate principal amount of $85.8 million; and

●

the Revolving Credit Facility, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million.

As of June 30, 2022 there was $21.0 million in remaining borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility.

On January 29, 2021, RAR entered into an amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”). The Fourth Amendment provided for, among other things, (i) deferral of principal amortization payments until the maturity date (ii) extension of the maturity date to April 2023, (iii) at RAR’s election, subject to certain liquidity thresholds, payment PIK interest, and, (iv) removal of all financial covenant requirements.

In addition, under the Fourth Amendment, RAR incurred an incremental first lien term loan B-2 facility (“Term Loan B-2” and, together with Term Loan B and Term Loan B-1, the “Term Loan Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million which was provided by New Outerwall Inc. The loan was subsequently assigned to Aspen Parent, Inc., an affiliate of Apollo and therefore a related party of the Company. The proceeds from the loan were used for general corporate purposes.

Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, interest is payable on the Senior Facilities entirely in cash or, for a specified period, could be paid by increasing the principal amount of the Senior Facilities (PIK interest), or through a combination of cash and PIK interest, subject to certain liquidity thresholds. Borrowings under the Senior Facilities bear interest at a rate at RAR’s option, either (a) a London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) determined by reference to the costs of funds for Eurodollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing, adjusted for certain additional costs, subject to a 1.00% floor in the case of term loans or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (ii) the prime rate quoted by the Wall Street Journal (or another national publication selected by the administrative agent) and (iii) the one-month adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Senior Facilities is 7.25% with respect to Eurocurrency Borrowings (increasing to 8.25% if PIK interest is paid) and 6.25% with respect to ABR Borrowings (increasing to 7.25% if PIK interest is paid).

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Senior Facilities, RAR is required to pay a commitment fee at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum to the lenders in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. RAR is also required to pay customary agency fees.

In connection with the Business Combination, on May 16, 2021, RAR entered into another amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”). The Fifth Amendment, which became effective upon consummation of the Business Combination, provided consent to the planned Business Combination and among other things, extended the Senior Facilities maturity date to October 2023 and subordinated the Term Loan B-2 to the Term Loan B and the Term Loan B-1. In addition, among other things, concurrently with the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company repaid $50.0 million towards outstanding borrowings under the Senior Facilities including $15.0 million towards outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $35.0 million towards outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan B and the Term Loan B-1.

On October 11, 2021, RAR entered into a consent to the Fifth Amendment to make certain additional changes to the Credit Agreement, which became effective upon consummation of the Business Combination, including extending the maturity date of the Senior Facilities to April, 2024 and extending the PIK interest option until December 31, 2022 (subject to a minimum pro forma liquidity).

On April 15, 2022, RAR entered into a sixth amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”) (capitalized terms used herein are defined in the Credit Agreement as amended through the Sixth Amendment). Pursuant to the Sixth Amendment, an additional aggregate $50.0 million (subsequently restricted to $45.0 million) in financing under the Credit Agreement have been made available to the Company subject to certain conditions, the proceeds of which will be used to make payments in accordance with the Budget Plan

Table of Contents

and pay certain fees and expenses. From April 15, 2022 until the Signing Deadline Date, borrowings under the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility were limited to no more than $15.0 million in the aggregate. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, additional borrowings of $35.0 million became available on May 10, 2022, as a result of the Company’s entry into a merger agreement with Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc. (“CSSE”). The merger closed on August 11, 2022, and, as a result, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of CSSE. See Note 17: Subsequent Events in Redbox’s Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the CSSE merger.

Changes to the Credit Agreement effected by the Sixth Amendment included the following:

●

Call protection on the loans was modified so that at any time prior to maturity, a make-whole payment will be payable (i) on the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Loans if such loans are repaid or prepaid with a corresponding permanent commitment reduction and (ii) on the existing Term B Loans, Term B-1 Loans, and Revolving Facility Loans on the amount of such loan repaid or prepaid. The make-whole will not be payable if such loans are prepaid in full upon the consummation of the Company Sale on or prior to the Company Sale Outside Date.

●

Events of Default were added including:

Failure to meet Company Sale Milestones (including failure to consummate the Company Sale by October 31, 2022 (or such later date as agreed by the Administrative Agent)).

Failure to meet cost-cutting milestones, subject to a 5 day grace period.

Termination of an Acceptable Purchase Agreement other than in connection with the replacement thereof with certain replacement purchase agreements acceptable to the Administrative Agent, subject to a 5 day grace period.

Termination or cessation of validity of Voting and Support Agreement.

Union Revolving Credit Facility

On December 29, 2020, Redbox Entertainment, LLC entered into a four-year, $20.0 million revolving credit facility with Union Bank (the “Union Revolving Credit Facility”). The facility is used exclusively to pay for minimum guarantees, license fees and related distribution expenses for original content obtained under the Company’s Redbox Entertainment label. Borrowings outstanding under the Union Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $6.6 million and $4.6 million, respectively.

Borrowings under the Union Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at either the alternate base rate or LIBOR (based on an interest period selected by the Company of one month, three months or six months) in each case plus a margin. The alternate base rate loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the greatest of (i) the base rate in effect on such date, (ii) the federal funds effective rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1.0%, and (iii) daily one month LIBOR plus 1.0%. The revolving credit facility borrowings that are LIBOR loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the applicable LIBOR plus a margin of 0.50%. The borrowing interest rate for the Union Revolving Credit Facility was 4.4% as of June 30, 2022 and 4.25% as of December 31, 2021, respectively.

On April 15, 2022, the Company agreed, pursuant to the Voting and Support Agreement, to (i) permanently reduce a portion of the Union Revolving Credit Facility in an amount equal to $10.6 million (and the Company made such reduction) and (ii) among other agreements, refrain from borrowing under the Union Revolving Credit Facility without the consent of Aspen and Redwood Holdco, LP (other than with respect to certain scheduled borrowings and borrowings to cover interest, fees and expenses). Availability under the Union Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2022 is $2.8 million.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Union Revolving Credit Facility, Redbox Entertainment, LLC is required to pay a commitment fee at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum to the lenders in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder.

Dividend Restrictions

The Credit Agreement contains certain customary affirmative covenants and negative covenants, including a limitation on the Company’s ability to pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of its capital stock or make other restricted payments. The covenant prohibiting dividends and other restricted payments has certain limited exceptions, including for customary overhead, legal,

Table of Contents

accounting and other professional fees and expenses; taxes; customary salary, bonus and other benefits; and up to $1.03 million for dividends that were accrued on equity interests that were unvested as of the payment of the Company’s last dividend in 2018 and have subsequently vested.

Interest Rates and Fees

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the borrowing interest rate for the Senior Facilities was 9.80% and 9.25%, respectively.

Amortization and Prepayments

Required minimum principal amortization payments under the term loan of the Senior Facilities as of June 30, 2022, are as follows:


	Repayment
Dollars in thousands	Amount
2022	$	45,884
2023		—
2024		271,562
Total	$	317,446

In addition, the Senior Facilities require RAR to prepay outstanding term loan borrowings, subject to certain exceptions, with:

●

a certain percentage set forth in the Credit Agreement governing the Senior Facilities of RAR’s annual excess cash flow, as defined under the Senior Facilities;

●

a certain percentage of the net cash proceeds of certain non-ordinary course asset sales, other dispositions of property or certain casualty events, in each case subject to certain exceptions and reinvestment rights; and

●

the net cash proceeds of any issuance or incurrence of debt, other than proceeds from debt permitted under the Senior Facilities.

RAR may voluntarily repay outstanding loans that are funded solely by internally generated cash from business operations under the Senior Facilities at any time, without prepayment premium or penalty, except customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBOR rate loans.

All obligations under the Senior Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by each of RAR’s existing and future direct and indirect material, wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, and the direct parent of RAR. The obligations are secured by a pledge of substantially all of RAR’s assets and those of each guarantor, including capital stock of the subsidiary guarantors and 65% of the capital stock of the first-tier foreign subsidiaries that are not subsidiary guarantors, in each case subject to certain exceptions, and its capital stock owned by RAR’s direct parent. Such security interests consist of a first-priority lien with respect to the collateral.

All obligations under the Union Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by all direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company’s Redbox Entertainment, LLC entity.

Letters of Credit

As required under the Senior Facilities, the Company has a letter of credit arrangement to provide for the issuance of standby letters of credit. The arrangement supports the collateral requirements for insurance claims and is good for one year to be renewed annually if necessary. The letter of credit is cash-collateralized at 105% in the amount of $3.1 million and $3.4 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

In October 2021, the Company entered into a letter of credit arrangement of $0.8 million that serves as a security deposit for leased warehouse space and is pledged by an equal amount of cash pledged as collateral.

Table of Contents

The Company’s letter of credit arrangements are classified as restricted cash and reflect balances of $3.9 million and $4.2 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Note 7: Interest Rate Derivatives

The Company entered into an interest rate swap on October 22, 2018 to manage its exposure to changes in the interest rates related to its term loan (“Term B Facility”) following the Amendment discussed in Note 6: Debt. The swap is not designated as a hedging instrument and is reported at fair value with changes in fair value reported directly in earnings. The Company’s hedge consists of interest rate swaps, which was used to mitigate interest rate risk.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company entered into a three-year fixed-for-floating interest rate swap agreement with Nomura Global Financial Products, Inc. for a fixed notional amount of $200.0 million to swap the variable rate portion of interest payments tied to the one-month LIBOR under its term loans for fixed interest payments. The swap effectively locked in an average of a three-year forward curve for the one-month LIBOR at a fixed rate of 3.0335%, resulting in a total interest rate on the $200.0 million notional of 10.2835%. The interest rate swap agreement expired on October 31, 2021. See Note 6: Debt for additional disclosures about the Company’s Term B Facility.

The following table discloses the effect of the Company’s derivative instrument on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Note 8: Segment Information and Geographic Data

The Company currently conducts its business through 2 operating segments: (1) Legacy Business and (2) Digital Business. For all periods presented, the Company did not operate outside the United States and Puerto Rico (collectively the United States). As such, all of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the United States.

The Company’s Legacy Business operates a network of approximately 36,000 self-service kiosks where consumers can rent or purchase new-release DVDs and Blu-ray Discs^TM (“movies”). The Company’s Legacy Business also produces, acquires, and distributes movies exclusively through its Redbox Entertainment label and generates service revenue by providing installation, merchandising and break-fix services to other kiosks businesses. Our Legacy Business also includes corporate general and administrative expenses, which include technology and public company costs, along with corporate overhead expenses related to our Digital Business.

The Company’s Digital Business provides both transactional and ad-supported digital streaming services, which include 1) Redbox On Demand, a transactional service which provides digital rental or purchase of new release and catalog movies and TV content, 2) Redbox Free On Demand, an ad-supported service providing free movies and TV shows on demand, and 3) Redbox Free Live TV, a free, ad-supported television service giving access to more than 145 linear channels. Furthermore, the Company monetizes digital advertising space in Redbox emails and apps amongst other platforms, which is referred to as Media Network. The Digital Business includes expenses directly attributable to this business.

Adjusted EBITDA is the profitability metric reported to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for purposes of making decisions about allocation of resources to each segment and assessing performance of each segment. The Company believes this measure is most useful in assessing the underlying performance of its business. Adjusted EBITDA is before integration related costs, efficiency initiatives, and other items. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the effects of financings, income tax and the non-cash accounting effects of depreciation and intangible asset amortization.

As segment assets are not reported to or used by the CODM to measure business performance or allocate resources, total segment assets and capital expenditures are not presented below.

Includes costs related to project costs and initiatives, as well as bank, legal and other fees in connection with the Company’s debt financing activities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred $7.7 million and $11.0 million, respectively, in one-time legal and advisory expenses as the Company explores strategic alternatives.

(c)	Includes costs to support the Company’s On Demand and AVOD offerings, along with costs related to the Company’s service and media network businesses.

(d)

Restructuring related costs include such items as employee severance charges. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred severance and related costs of $3.8 million in connection with a reduction in force, which are reflected in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Note 9: Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders adjusted for the assumed exchange of all potentially dilutive securities by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive elements. Basic and diluted loss per share is computed using the two-class method.

The Company analyzed the calculation of earnings per share for comparative periods presented and determined that it resulted in values that would not be meaningful to the users of the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, earnings per share information has not been presented for periods prior to the Business Combination.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A common stock:

Shares of the Company’s Class B common stock do not share in the earnings or losses, are not entitled to receive dividends, or to receive any portion of assets upon liquidation of the Company, and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.

As the Company was in a loss position for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company has determined all potentially dilutive shares would be anti-dilutive in these periods and therefore are excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding. This results in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding to be the same for basic and diluted EPS.

The following outstanding potentially dilutive shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their effect would have been anti-dilutive:

Note 11: Warrant Liability

At June 30, 2022, there were 10,779,430 Public Warrants and 5,062,500 Private Placement Warrants outstanding. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase 1 whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a holder of Public Warrants may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Class A common stock. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder. The Public Warrants expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company may redeem the Public Warrants under the following conditions:

●

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 warrant holder; and

●

if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company gives proper notice of such redemption and provided certain other conditions are met.

The redemption criteria discussed above prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Company’s Class A common stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

During the second quarter of 2022, there were 1,001,803 warrants that were exercised, which resulted in cash proceeds of $11.5 million.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company recorded warrant liabilities of $8.4 million and $17.8 million, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized a loss of $6.0 million and a gain of $7.8 million, respectively, on the change in fair value of the warrant liabilities in Interest and other income (expense), net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 12: Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the buyer and the seller at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and cost approach shall be used to measure fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs, which represent the assumptions used by the buyer and seller in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are further defined as observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are those that buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that the buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Table of Contents

The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2 — Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means.

Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The fair value of the Company’s certain assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheet. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, due to related parties are estimated to approximate the carrying values as of June 30, 2022 due to the short maturities of such instruments.

The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

Dollars in thousands	Level	2022		2021
Liabilities:
Warrant Liability – Public Warrants	1	$	5,713	$	11,213
Warrant Liability – Private Placement Warrants	3		2,734		6,608
Total Warrant Liability		$	8,447	$	17,821

The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and are presented within Warrant liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The warrant liabilities were measured at fair value at the closing of the Business Combination and are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within Interest and other income (expense), net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Measurement

The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The measurement of the Public Warrants as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market and the subsequent measurement of the Private Placement Warrants as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are classified Level 3 due to the use of unobservable inputs.



Input	June 30, 2022			December 31, 2021
Risk-free interest rate		3.00	%		1.20	%
Expected term (years)		4.30			4.80
Expected volatility		21.4	%		31.4	%
Stock price	$	7.40		$	7.41

As of June 30, 2022, the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were determined to be $0.53 and $0.54 per warrant, respectively, for aggregate values of approximately $5.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

As of December 31, 2021, the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were determined to be $1.04 and $1.09 per warrant, respectively, for aggregate values of approximately $11.2 million and $6.6 million, respectively.

Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the Private Placement Warrant liability for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

Note 17: Subsequent Events

We have evaluated subsequent events through August 12, 2022, the date on which the financial statements were issued, and based on our review did not identify any events that would have required recognition or disclosure in these condensed consolidated financial statements, except the following:

At a special meeting of stockholders on August 9, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved the merger proposal with CSSE. The merger closed on August 11, 2022. As a result, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of CSSE. At closing, each share of the Company’s Common Stock was cancelled and each shareholder received 0.087 of a share (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Class A common stock, par value of $0.001 per share, of CSSE (the “CSSE Class A Common Stock”), each share of the Company’s Class B common stock was automatically cancelled for no additional consideration and each Opco LLC Unit (other than each Opco LLC Unit owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company or CSSE) was converted into the right to receive a number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio. Effective on the closing date, the Company’s Common Stock and warrants ceased to be traded on the NASDAQ.

Warrant Assumption and Amendment

In connection with the consummation of the merger, on August 11, 2022, the Company entered into a warrant assumption and amendment agreement (the “Warrant Assumption and Amendment Agreement”) with CSSE and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“CST”). Pursuant to the Warrant Assumption and Amendment Agreement, CSSE assumed all of the Company’s rights, interests and obligations under that certain warrant agreement dated November 27, 2020 by and between Redbox and CST, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”) governing the Company’s outstanding warrants to purchase the Company’s Common Stock (the “Redbox Warrants”). Prior to the merger, each Redbox Warrant entitled the registered holder to purchase 1 whole share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. At the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), as a result of the merger and adjustment caused thereby, 11.494 Redbox Warrants will be required to purchase one whole share of CSSE Class A Common Stock at a price of $132.18 per share, subject to adjustment. This was calculated by dividing the pre-merger $11.50 per-share exercise price of the Redbox Warrants by the 0.087 Exchange Ratio. Additionally, at the Effective Time, the Redemption Trigger Price (as such term is defined in the Warrant Agreement) will be $206.90 per share of CSSE Class A Common Stock. This was calculated by dividing the pre-merger $18.00 per-share Redemption Trigger Price of the Redbox Warrants by the 0.087 Exchange Ratio.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) and with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may materially differ from those discussed in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in “Risk Factors” under Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Overview

Redbox is an established brand and leading provider in the home entertainment market in the United States. The Company is focused on providing its customers with the best value in entertainment and the most choice in how they consume it, through physical media and/or digital services. Redbox is undergoing a significant business expansion and digital transformation. The Company has transitioned from a pure-play DVD rental company to a multi- faceted entertainment company that provides tremendous value and choice by offering DVD rentals as well as multiple digital products across a variety of content windows including transactional (TVOD), ad-supported (AVOD/FLTV) and being a distributor of feature films with a growing library of original content. Redbox currently conducts its business through two operating segments: (1) Legacy Business and (2) Digital Business.

For its Legacy Business, the Company operates a nationwide network of approximately 36,000 self-service kiosks where consumers can rent or purchase new-release DVDs and Blu-ray Discs^TM (“movies”). The Company also generates service revenue by providing installation, merchandising and break-fix services to other kiosk businesses. Finally, the Company acquires, and distributes movies exclusively through its film distribution label, Redbox Entertainment, LLC, acquiring rights to talent-led films that are distributed across Redbox platforms as well as through third party digital services. For its Digital Business, the Company provides both transactional and ad-supported digital streaming services, which include 1) Redbox On Demand, a transactional service providing digital rental or purchase of new release and catalog movies and TV content, 2) Redbox Free On Demand (AVOD), an ad- supported service providing free movies and TV shows on demand, and 3) Redbox Free Live TV (FLTV), a free, ad-supported television service giving access to over 145 linear channels. The Company also sells third-party display advertising on its mobile app, website, and e-mails, as well as display and digital video advertising at the kiosk.

Due to risks and uncertainties related to the ongoing adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operating results, together with the Company’s recurring operating losses, accumulated deficit and negative working capital, there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. See “Business Update, Going Concern and Strategic Alternatives.”

Redbox Legacy Business

Redbox’s mission has always been to make it ridiculously cheap and easy for customers to get the home entertainment they want. Redbox provides exceptional customer value with new release movie disc rentals priced at approximately $2.00 a night, about one-third of the cost of a digital rental, which are typically $5.99 or more on digital retail platforms. Customers have the flexibility to rent a movie from one location and return their rental to any kiosk. Kiosks are located primarily in retail centers that experience heavy foot traffic, including grocery stores, mass retailers, drug stores, dollar retailers, and convenience stores. With approximately 31,000 locations and more than 150 retail partners, consumers have convenient access to kiosks as part of their routine shopping experiences. Revenue is generated primarily through the fees charged to rent or purchase a movie at the kiosk. In turn, Redbox pays retailers a percentage of the revenue generated at the Redbox kiosks installed at their locations. The Company obtains content through revenue sharing agreements and license agreements with major studios as well as through direct purchases from independent distributors and other suppliers.

Redbox has built a unique asset in its loyalty and rewards program, Redbox Perks, which currently boasts approximately 41 million members. Customers earn points for their rentals or purchases and can use those points for free rentals in the future. This tiered loyalty program gives the Company the ability to reward its most loyal and valuable customers while providing a currency for incenting increased transaction frequency and other behaviors, such as downloading the Redbox app or trying new products and services. Redbox Perks is a vehicle to provide greater value to customers and is central to its marketing and customer strategy. The

Table of Contents

program is a differentiator in the market and competitive advantage for Redbox. Redbox’s customers are value-conscious, love movies and entertainment, and tend to be late-adopters of new technology. Given the scale of the existing customer base, the Company has built a sizable marketing program that includes approximately 45 million e-mail subscribers, approximately 5 million SMS subscribers, approximately 45 million mobile app downloads, and nearly 360 million weekly impressions at retail.

To drive further engagement with our customers, Redbox established Redbox Entertainment, LLC as a movie distribution label. Through this label, the Company acquires North American rights and distributes feature films through Redbox kiosks, Redbox On Demand, third party digital transactional platforms and other streaming services. Redbox Entertainment acquires rights to finished films and also commits to slate financing deals for films to be produced, giving the Company input on creative direction. The Company generates gross profit from these films through promotional initiatives on its own platform and by selling downstream window rights to subscription streaming services. Moreover, because the Company acquires long term exclusive rights to these films, Redbox is building a content library which can be used on its Free On Demand (AVOD) and Free Live TV (FLTV) services or further licensed to other streaming platforms in future windows.

In addition, Redbox Entertainment benefits from the Company’s robust rental data that has been accumulated over the years, giving the Company proprietary insights into what titles and talent will perform well on its platforms. The Company has released a number of films since 2019 under the Redbox Entertainment label.

Finally, Redbox has a service business, which employs a team of best-in-class field workers nationwide to manage kiosk installation, merchandising and break-fix services. In addition to maintaining Redbox’s kiosk network, the Company’s service team also supports other kiosk businesses. The Company has service agreements with multiple companies that have national and regional kiosk networks and since June of 2020, Redbox has been the primary vendor for Amazon to service their expanding U.S. Amazon Hub Locker locations. The service business helps mitigate the costs of the field operations for the Legacy DVD business while generating incremental margin dollars.

Redbox Digital Business

Redbox is rapidly expanding its digital product offering, leveraging its customer and marketing scale to transform the brand. The Company is building a digital ecosystem that consumers can use as a one stop shop for their entertainment needs by engaging with a variety of digital video services within the Redbox app in an integrated, easy-to use format. This simplifies the customer experience, drives multi-product adoption, and minimizes customer churn. These services span multiple business models including transactional, ad-supported, and anticipated in the future, subscription. The Company’s digital products are available to stream across web browsers, mobile devices, and almost every major consumer device, including Roku, Apple TV, Samsung, LG, AndroidTV, VIZIO, Xbox and PlayStation.

In December 2017, the Company launched Redbox On Demand, a digital transactional video-on-demand service (TVOD), allowing customers to rent or buy new release and catalog digital movies and television episodes, with new release prices typically ranging from $5.99 to $24.99 and catalog movies from $1.99 to $3.99, not including any discounts. Since 2020, customers have also been able to digitally rent movies that are still in theaters, which is known as Premium Video-On-Demand (PVOD). Customers pay a transactional fee to rent or buy content while earning Redbox Perks loyalty points every time they transact. Redbox On Demand has seen rapid growth and adoption with nearly 4 million customers since launch. That growth has been fueled primarily though leveraging the Company’s own marketing channels including e-mail and SMS and offering rewards points and other promotions to drive digital customer acquisition.

In February 2020, the Company launched Redbox Free Live TV (FLTV), an ad-supported digital linear television service, as a complement to the existing transactional On Demand service. With over 145 linear channels and growing, including five Redbox branded and programmed channels, Free Live TV gives customers the opportunity to channel surf and find content that interests them. A variety of these Redbox-branded channels, are currently syndicated to the Roku Channel, LG Channels and Vizio Watchfree services, which drives greater viewership and revenue. The Company has plans to continue syndicating Redbox programmed channels to additional 3^rd party services.

Redbox launched an ad-supported Free On Demand (AVOD) service in December 2020. AVOD gives consumers complete control over when and what they watch, and combined with Redbox’s growing AVOD library, which has more than 11,000 movies and TV episodes, consumers have a broad amount of content to choose from. The ad-supported services (FLTV and AVOD) have seen strong growth in engagement as new channels and titles are added and awareness of the offering grows.

Table of Contents

Finally, Redbox operates a media advertising business which monetizes more than 350 million monthly display and digital video ad-impressions across its mobile app, web, e-mail and kiosk network. The Company drives advertising revenue through a mix of programmatic advertising and direct sales. Direct ad sales for the media above as well as video advertising for Free On Demand and FLTV are driven by an internal sales team and strategic sales partnership with Lightbox OOH Video Network.

Growth Strategy

Redbox’s transformation into a multi-faceted entertainment company creates multiple areas for future growth. The Company’s expansion into AVOD and our intended eventual expansion into SVOD channels allows Redbox to participate in a very large and rapidly growing market. The Company believes it can create long-term value through its focus on:

Growing multi-product customers. Redbox intends to grow multi-product customers through increasing customer acquisition marketing and spend across streaming device partners, marketing at the kiosk, and other external paid media. To date, the Company has relied primarily on e-mail and SMS channels to drive customer acquisition. Thus, over time, with increased spend and attention via these additional channels, and with more content and services offered, the Company expects to drive greater customer growth. Redbox intends to also drive greater multi-product customer adoption through improved CRM, greater personalization and targeted use of promotions to create more personalized customer funnels to encourage users to trial and adopt other digital services within the Redbox app.

Accelerating AVOD adoption. Redbox projects growth for the Company’s ad-supported service through measured investment to expand the Free Live TV and Free On Demand content offerings. Through increased content volume and improved content quality, the Company expects to drive higher engagement and more hours watched per customer. Further, this improved content is expected to drive an increase in customers, accelerating the business while maintaining a reasonable customer acquisition cost.

Ramping Content Acquisition. Redbox Entertainment drives additional revenue in two ways. First, it provides more content for Redbox kiosks, On Demand and the ad-supported offerings; secondly, it generates revenue from distribution and licensing to other streaming platforms. The Company expects to ramp the number of Redbox Entertainment branded releases to 36 a year over time. The number of releases will naturally ramp as committed titles complete production and are delivered and the pipeline continues to grow.

Launching SVOD channels platform. As part of its long-term growth strategy, the Company’s intended launch of Redbox’s SVOD channels service will become another meaningful revenue stream. Redbox would act as the merchant of record, collecting 100% of the subscription revenue before paying the SVOD channel owner’s revenue share. By providing access to multiple SVOD channel options, customers could easily subscribe to one or more SVOD services all within the Redbox app, and Redbox could merchandise the third party SVOD content and service via the approximately 45 million Redbox app downloads on mobile devices, streaming media players, game consoles, and connected televisions.

Impact of COVID-19 and Emerging Industry Trends

In March 2020, the World Health Organization recognized the novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, as a pandemic. Public and private sector policies and initiatives to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 varied significantly across the United States. Throughout 2021, a significant percentage of the U.S. population was subject to meaningful restrictions on activities, which included limitations on the operation of non-essential businesses including retail operations, requirements that individuals remain in or close to their homes, school closures, theater closures, limitations on large gatherings, travel restrictions and other policies to promote or enforce physical distancing. These restrictions not only impacted how the Company’s customers used its products and services but also affected content production, release and distribution. As a result of these restrictions, many consumers subscribed to additional streaming services to satisfy their content needs as the number of new release movies, released theatrically and through home entertainment, decreased by more than 50% in both 2020 and 2021 compared with 2019, which had 140 theatrical titles. During 2020 and 2021, the Company experienced a decline in physical movie rentals, due in part to a significant decline in new movie releases and theater closures along with governmental and retail store restrictions. The Company’s On Demand transactional offering is also dependent on new releases, albeit at a lesser level than the physical business as the On Demand platform has a larger catalog offering. Beginning in the second half of 2020, the growth potential of Redbox On Demand was negatively impacted by fewer new releases and changes in release strategy by studios throughout the pandemic.

Starting late in 2021 and into the first six months of 2022, the U.S. population experienced a wave of illness brought on by a variant of COVID-19, widely referred to as the Omicron variant. During the peak holiday rental season as content started to release at Redbox, the variant began to spread amongst the population, again impacting customer rental behavior. The disruptions from

Omicron, including additional delays of productions and movie releases by studios, further drove periods of no new releases and resulted in studios exploring and pursuing alternative release strategies for their films, including straight to streaming services, day-and-date releases, and PVOD releases.

As a result of temporary theater closures during the COVID-19 pandemic, studios and content producers either delayed the release of movies into future periods or experimented with alternative release strategies which altered the typical release strategy for new movies. One alternative release method, was to sell movies directly to subscription services for exclusive release on their respective platforms. As a result, these titles were not available through a traditional transactional On Demand window, thus leading to fewer new release titles available to the Company. However, as studios continue to evolve their window release strategies, more and more studios are retaining their home entertainment distribution rights despite the initial sale of a title to a streaming service. This allows Redbox to make the movie available for rental through the kiosk and possibly On Demand at a later date. The Company expects studios to sell titles directly to streaming services from time to time, but it may be less likely going forward with the reopening of theatrical exhibitors and the opportunity to achieve higher returns for both studios and artists. The Company is further mitigating the impact of titles sold exclusively to subscription services by building out a library of content via its Redbox Entertainment label. Redbox Entertainment titles are available physically and digitally on Redbox platforms and are monetized across other platforms.

The second alternative release strategy that emerged, known as a day-and-date release, is a simultaneous release on a studio’s own digital platform as well as a theatrical release to provide optionality to those customers who are not ready to return to the theater. This shared window strategy can negatively impact the physical rental performance of a title as most of these titles release at a later date at the kiosk and transactionally on Redbox On Demand in a subsequent window. Studios who have previously released titles on streaming services on the same date as in theatres in 2021 have announced plans to return to theatrical windows of 45 to 90 days, before these titles go to home entertainment; however, studios continue to experiment with timing of releases on their owned and operated platforms which may continue to negatively impact Redbox’s ability to monetize future titles.

The third alternative release is known as premium video on demand or “PVOD” which creates an early transactional window for an at-home digital theatrical release at a higher price point, typically $19.99. The PVOD releases provided consumers a way to watch new releases at home while theaters remain shuttered. Redbox On Demand participates in and benefits from PVOD releases as it provides an early window option to Redbox customers at higher price points.

The Company expects studios to return to a more normal release slate as COVID-19 restrictions continue to ease due to the relationship with theatrical exhibitors and the draw of higher margin potential. Nevertheless, a number of titles continue to shift back further in 2022 and into 2023, primarily due to an increase in post-production delays. In the first six months of 2022, Redbox experienced intermittent periods of no new releases causing inconsistency in titles available at Redbox kiosks and on the Redbox On Demand platform, impacting rental performance. The Company expects new release content to build back up throughout 2022 as the pandemic subsides and studios are able to release theatrical titles on a more consistent basis. This expectation is based on known titles delayed from 2020 and 2021, which are planned for release in 2022 and 2023.

The Company will continue to build out its digital linear and on demand ad-supported offerings to provide more options for customers to consume content at varying price points including free with ads. The Company believes that the complement of digital services creates greater utility to its customers and makes the offering more competitive relative to more focused streamers, while also reducing the reliance on content in a single content window.

Business Update, Going Concern and Strategic Alternatives

Historically, rentals have been correlated with the number and quality of new theatrical titles released in a quarter. During 2021 and for the first six months of 2022, Redbox’s business was negatively impacted by the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in fewer than expected theatrical releases. In addition, the significant increase in impacts from the Omicron variant caused further disruption to the business. As such, Redbox rentals have not recovered to the extent expected and, notwithstanding the year-over-year increase in new theatrical releases, were lower than pre-COVID-19 levels. As part of an effort to expand its business and transform into a multi-faceted entertainment company, during the fourth quarter of 2021 and into the first six months of 2022, Redbox increased its marketing and on-demand expenditures. Costs also increased as Redbox purchased more content, which were not offset by an increase in revenues.

be available to the Company with respect to its corporate or capital structure. Redbox is also executing on a previously announced series of restructuring actions and initiatives to improve its efficiency and reduce its cost structure, including, but not limited to, (i) optimizing its kiosk network and (ii) executing a workforce reduction across its supply chain and corporate teams. However, the risks and uncertainties related to the ongoing adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operating results, together with the Company’s recurring operating losses, accumulated deficit and negative working capital, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

On April 15, 2022 certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into the Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement No. 6, amending its Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”), pursuant to which the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement) will make available to certain subsidiaries of the Company Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Commitments (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in an aggregate amount equal to $50.0 million (subsequently restricted to $45.0 million) subject to certain conditions, the proceeds of which will be used to make payments in accordance with the Budget Plan (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and pay certain fees and expenses. From April 15, 2022 until the Signing Deadline Date, borrowings under the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility (as defined in the Credit Agreement) were limited to no more than $15.0 million in the aggregate. During April 2022, the Company borrowed the available $15.0 million under its Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility. Pursuant to the Sixth Amendment, additional borrowings of $35.0 million under its Sixth Amendment Incremental Facility would become available if, by no later than May 10, 2022 (the “Signing Deadline Date”), the Company entered into a valid and binding definitive purchase agreement for the sale of all or substantially all of the assets, or all of the equity interests of the Company (the “Company Sale”), and which purchase agreement either (i) provided for the payment in full (principal and interest) of the Senior Facilities other than the Term B-2 Loans or (ii) otherwise was in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company Sale shall be consummated no later than October 31, 2022. The details of the Sixth Amendment are discussed in further detail in Note 6: Debt in Redbox’s Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

As a further condition to the Sixth Amendment, the Company issued to HPS Investment Partners, LLC (administrative agent and collateral agent to the Credit Agreement) and certain affiliates (as defined in the Credit Agreement) warrants with an exercise price of $0.0001 per share (the “HPS Warrants”) to purchase 11,416,700 shares of Class A common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) in the event certain milestones were not met under the Amended Credit Agreement. Upon signing of the CSSE merger agreement, the HPS Warrants became void and all rights of the warrant holders thereunder to exercise the HPS Warrants ceased. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company further agreed, pursuant to the Voting and Support Agreement, to (i) permanently reduce a portion of its revolving commitment under its Union Revolving Credit Facility in an amount equal to $10.6 million (and the Company made such reduction) and (ii) among other agreements, refrain from borrowing under the Union Revolving Credit Facility without the consent of Aspen and Redwood Holdco, LP (other than with respect to certain scheduled borrowings and borrowings to cover interest, fees and expenses).

In connection with the execution of the Sixth Amendment, the Company agreed to implement certain changes to the composition and size of its Board of Directors, as further described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 19, 2022. The Strategic Review Committee of the Board was also dissolved in connection with these changes.

On May 10, 2022, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc. (“CSSE”) and the other parties thereto. As a result, additional borrowings under the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility became available upon the Company’s entry into the merger agreement with CSSE provided, that the CSSE merger agreement contains an interim covenant that restricts outstanding borrowings by the Company under the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility to a maximum of $45.0 million.

Seasonality

Absent the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, 2021 and into 2022, the Company has generally experienced seasonality in its rentals and revenue. Historically, greater demand over the holiday season typically results in higher rentals November through January. April has usually been a low rental month due, in part, to retail release timing in connection with the Academy Awards that historically has provided stronger content and resulted in higher rentals in March. September and October have been low rental months due, in part, to the beginning of the school year and the introduction of the new fall television season. Significant recurring events, such as the Olympics, also have a negative impact on rentals as they compete with customer viewing interest for movie content and affect retail release timing, which aims to avoid such events. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have continued to disrupt the Company’s typical seasonal patterns into 2022.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

The Company generates revenue primarily through fees charged to rent or purchase a movie both physically and digitally. Revenue is presented net of promotional offerings provided to its consumers and any subsequent refunds. Revenue also consists of fees the Company earns in its service business for servicing and merchandising other kiosk businesses, digital advertising through its media network business, as well as licensing fees it generates from selling downstream rights to subscription streaming services through its Redbox Entertainment label.

Product Cost

Product Cost primarily represents the amortization of the Company’s physical content library and digital revenue sharing or licensing costs. Amortization of the content library is calculated using rental decay curves based on historical performance of movies over their useful lives. Given the steepness of the rental decay curve, amortization on most of the content library is recorded on an accelerated basis with substantially all of the amortization expense recognized within the first year after a title’s release.

The physical content library costs mainly include (1) the costs paid to studios and other vendors to acquire content including revenue share as applicable, (2) costs incurred to label, sort, and ship content to the Company’s kiosks for merchandising, (3) costs incurred to destroy content after use if required under contractual arrangements with studios and (4) indirect taxes, if applicable. For content the Company expects to sell, it determines an estimated salvage value. Content salvage values are estimated based on the historical sales activity. The cost of each title is capitalized and amortized to its estimated salvage value. The rental decay curves and salvage value of the Company’s content library are periodically reviewed and evaluated.

For movies acquired through the Company’s Redbox Entertainment label, costs include (1) the costs to acquire content, (2) manufacturing costs and (3) supply chain costs. These costs are capitalized as they are incurred and amortized in proportion to the current year’s revenue as a percentage of management’s estimate of total ultimate revenue, not to exceed the life of the acquired rights. Ultimate revenue estimates are periodically reviewed and adjustments, if any, will result in changes to amortization rates.

Table of Contents

The digital content costs mainly include (1) the costs paid to studios and other vendors to acquire or offer digital content, including revenue share or licensing fees, for our ad-supported offerings, and (2) the revenue share costs paid to studios for transactional titles.

Direct Operating

Direct Operating expense accounts primarily for (1) commissions the Company pays to its retailers, (2) credit card fees, (3) operations support to both merchandise and service its kiosks, and (4) consumer electronic device royalties, licensing and digital rights management fees and content delivery network fees for delivery of On Demand content.

Marketing

Marketing expenses represent the cost of online and offline marketing and public relations efforts in national and regional advertising. The Company’s marketing efforts consist of various media programs, such as e-mail, text, mobile applications, social media, the Company’s loyalty program and digital advertising. However, the Company also leverages the visibility provided by its expansive network of approximately 36,000 kiosks and partnership programs with retailers and consumer goods manufacturers to attract and retain new customers.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense represents compensation costs in connection with the Redbox Equity Plan and the Redwood Holdco Management Incentive Plan.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of executive management, business development, finance, management information systems, human resources, legal, facilities, risk management and administrative support for operations.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and other expenses consist of depreciation charges on the Company’s installed kiosks as well as on computer equipment, leasehold improvements, and capitalizable costs for automobile leases and internally developed software related primarily to its customer-facing products.

Amortization expenses are related to the amortization of intangible assets. For further information on amortization, see Note 4: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets in Redbox’s Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021

Net Revenue. Net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $66.0 million, a decrease of $3.4 million or 4.9%, compared to net revenues of $69.4 million for the same prior year period. Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $129.2 million, a decrease of $16.9 million or 11.6%, compared to net revenues of $146.1 million for the same prior year period. Beginning in March 2020, physical movie rentals were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 global pandemic due to a significant decline in new movie releases available to consumers resulting from broad-based movie theater closures and a material slowdown in new productions. The impacts of 2020 continued into 2021 and the first six months of 2022 as studios continued to either delay the release of new movies into future periods or experimented with alternative release strategies, including selling movies directly to streaming services, which resulted in fewer titles being released at the kiosk. The first six months of 2022 was further impacted by the Omicron variant, which continued to disrupt customer rental behavior.

Table of Contents

Physical units purchased in the quarter and six months were lower 14.3% and 22.7%, respectively, due to the quality of content released compared to the same prior year periods. Further, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company experienced persistent periods of time with no new releases driving inconsistency in customer rental patterns and continue to remain below 2019 (pre-COVID) levels. The Company expects studios to return to a more normal release slate with new release content building throughout 2022 as the pandemic subsides.

Partially offsetting the decline in revenue for the Legacy Business, the Company’s kiosk servicing business experienced solid growth during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company experienced modest growth in rental revenue per physical rental during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Further, the Company’s Digital Business experienced strong double-digit growth across all of the Company’s digital offerings during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Product Cost. Product Cost for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $28.8 million, an increase of $0.1 million or 0.3%, compared to $28.7 million for the same period in 2021 reflecting increased costs of digital content, partially offset by variable cost savings.

Product Cost for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $56.0 million, a decrease of $0.9 million or 1.5%, compared to $56.9 million for the same period in 2021 due to variable cost savings, partially offset by increased costs for digital content.

Gross Margin. Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $37.2 million, a decrease of $3.5 million or 8.5%, compared to gross margin of $40.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 due primarily to lower net revenue as discussed above.

Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $73.2 million, a decrease of $16.0 million or 18.0%, compared to gross margin of $89.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 due primarily to lower net revenue as discussed above.

Gross margin as a percentage of net revenue decreased to 56.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 58.7% for the same period in 2021, reflecting increased upfront costs for certain theatrical titles coupled with lower net revenue.

Gross margin as a percentage of net revenue decreased to 56.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 61.0% for the same period in 2021, reflecting increased upfront costs for certain theatrical titles coupled with lower net revenue.

Direct Operating Expenses. Direct Operating expenses were $31.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $0.1 million or 0.3%, compared to the same period in 2021 reflecting lower variable costs including retailer revenue share expenses, partially offset by increased costs in connection with the optimization of the Company’s kiosk network.

Direct Operating expenses were $61.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $3.1 million or 4.8%, compared to the same period in 2021 due to lower variable expenses including credit cards fees and retailer revenue share expenses, partially offset by costs incurred in connection with the optimization of the Company’s kiosk network.

Marketing Expenses. Marketing expenses decreased by 12.8% to $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2021.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense. Stock-based compensation expense was $2.0 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $3.8 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to the equity award granted in connection with the Redbox Equity Plan.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were $25.7 million, an increase of $9.2 million or 56.0%, compared to $16.5 million for the same period in 2021. The $9.2 million increase includes $10.7 million in legal and advisory expenses incurred as the Company explores strategic alternatives, as well as public company costs, which did not occur in the prior year period, partially offset by lower payroll and related costs.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $48.9 million, an increase of $19.1 million or 64.2%, compared to $29.8 million for the same period in 2021. The $19.1 million increase includes $14.0 million in legal and

advisory expenses incurred as the Company explores strategic alternatives, severance and related costs of $3.8 million, as well as public company costs, which did not occur in the prior year period.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased by 7.8% to $24.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $26.9 million for the same period in 2021 due to certain kiosks reaching the end of their depreciable useful lives along with reduced capital expenditure spend.

Depreciation and amortization decreased by 8.3% to $49.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $54.5 million for the same period in 2021 due to certain kiosks reaching the end of their depreciable useful lives along with reduced capital expenditure spend.

Operating Loss. Operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $49.8 million compared to an operating loss of $37.9 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease is primarily driven by the net revenue decrease as described above along with increased general and administrative and marketing expenses.

Operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $98.0 million compared to an operating loss of $67.1 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease is primarily driven by the net revenue decrease as described above along with increased general and administrative and marketing expenses.

Interest and other income (expense), net. Interest and other income (expense), net for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $15.1 million compared to $8.5 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in expense is due to a $6.0 million non-cash pretax loss from the change in fair value on the Company’s warrant liabilities along with increase debt fee amortization.

Interest and other income (expense), net for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $7.7 million compared to $15.8 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease in expense is due to a $7.8 million net non-cash pretax gain from the change in fair value of the Company’s warrant liabilities, partially offset by increased debt fee amortization.

Net Loss. Net loss was $65.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to a net loss of $34.8 million for the same period in 2021. The decline is due to the decrease in operating income as discussed above and a lower income tax benefit.

Net loss was $105.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to a net loss of $62.0 million for the same period in 2021. The decline is due to the decrease in operating income as discussed above and a lower income tax benefit, partially offset by a net $7.8 million pretax gain from the change in fair value on the Company’s warrant liabilities.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was ($11.5) million, a decrease of $7.6 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of ($3.8) million for the same period in 2021. The decline is due to decreases in net revenue in the Company’s Legacy Business along with increased general and administrative costs as a public company and from investments in our Digital Business.

Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was ($25.0) million, a decrease of $22.5 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of ($2.5) million for the same period in 2021. The decline is due to decreases in net revenue in the Company’s Legacy Business along with increased general and administrative and marketing costs as a public company and from investing in our Digital Business, partially offset by strong growth in the Company’s Digital Business along with a decrease in product and direct operating costs due to variable direct cost savings.

Net Revenue. Net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $53.8 million, a decrease of $8.3 million or 13.4%, compared to net revenue of $62.1 million for the same prior year period. Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $102.6 million, a decrease of $27.2 million or 21.0%, compared to net revenue of $129.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Physical movie rentals continue to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 global pandemic due to a material decline in new movie releases available to consumers compared to pre-COVID levels. Studios either delayed the release of new movies into future periods or experimented with alternative release strategies, including selling movies directly to streaming services, which resulted in fewer titles being released at the kiosk.

The total number of theatrical and Direct-to-Video (DTV) titles released during the three months ended June 30, 2022 was 43, a decrease of 11, compared with 54 released in the same prior year period. Of these totals, theatrical releases were 18 compared to 11 in the same prior year period. The total number of theatrical and Direct-to-Video (DTV) titles released during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was 99, a decrease of 14, compared with 113 released in the same prior year period. Of these totals, theatrical releases were 40 compared to 18 in the same prior year period. As the Company executes on its plan to optimize its kiosk network, physical rental revenues were also adversely impacted by the reduction in kiosks to 36,316 as of June 30, 2022 compared to 38,961 as of June 30, 2021, which contributed to a decline in physical rentals of 20.5%, during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and a decline of 29.4% during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Partially offsetting the decline in revenue for the Legacy Business, the Company’s kiosk servicing business experienced solid growth during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company experienced modest growth in rental revenue per physical rental during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Physical units purchased in the quarter and six months were lower 14.3% and 22.7%, respectively, due to the quality of content released compared to the same prior year periods. Further, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company experienced extended periods of time with no new releases driving inconsistency in customer rental patterns. The Company expects studios to return to a more normal release slate with new release content building throughout 2022 as the pandemic subsides.

As COVID-19 restrictions ease, the Company expects studios to continue to sell titles directly to streaming services from time to time, but may be less likely going forward with the reopening of theatrical exhibitors and the opportunity to achieve higher returns for both studios and artists. The Company expects new release content to build back throughout 2022 if the pandemic subsides; however, title release dates will continue to shift and change as the year progresses and the Company does not have control over title release timing. The Company is offsetting some of the impact from titles sold exclusively to subscription services by building out a library of content via its Redbox Entertainment label. Redbox Entertainment titles are available physically and digitally on Redbox platforms and will also be monetized across other platforms.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was ($11.4) million, a decrease of $6.8 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of ($4.6) million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily driven by the decrease in net revenue discussed above along with increased general and administrative expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was ($27.0) million, a decrease of $22.6 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of ($4.3) million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily driven by the decrease in net revenue discussed above along with increased general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a decrease in product costs and direct operating costs.

Net Revenue. Net revenue was $12.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $4.9 million or 67.9%, compared to $7.3 million for the same period in the prior year, reflecting strong double-digit growth across all of the Company’s digital offerings.

Net revenue was $26.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $10.3 million or 62.9%, compared to $16.4 million for the same period in the prior year, reflecting strong double-digit growth across all of the Company’s digital offerings.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was ($0.1) million, a decrease of $0.9 million, compared to $0.8 million for the same period during 2021 reflecting increased revenue, partially offset by increased costs in the Company’s media network business as well as increased marketing costs.

Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $2.0 million, an increase of $0.2 million, compared to $1.8 million for the same period during 2021 reflecting increased revenue, partially offset by increased media network and ad-supported product costs, as well as increased marketing costs.

The Digital Business includes expenses directly attributable to this business.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company defines EBITDA as net income before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA adjusts EBITDA by excluding the results of business optimization costs, one-time non-recurring costs, new business start-up costs, restructuring related costs and stock-based compensation expense. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA are presented in accordance with GAAP.

The Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for operational and financial decision-making and believes these measures are useful in eliminating certain items to focus on what it deems to be indicators of operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by many of the Company’s investors, securities analysts, and other interested parties in evaluating operational and financial performance as well as debt service capabilities. The Company believes that the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors by allowing an understanding of key measures that the Company uses internally for operational decision-making, budgeting, and assessing performance.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities, or other income or cash flow statement data. These measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Investors should review the Company’s financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.

Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by Redbox, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. It therefore may not be possible to compare the Company’s use of these non-GAAP financial measures with those used by other companies.

(a)	Business optimization costs include employee retention costs, IT costs as well as consulting costs for certain projects.

(b)

Includes costs related to project costs and initiatives, as well as bank, legal and other fees in connection with the Company’s debt financing activities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred $7.7 million and $11.0 million in one-time legal and advisory expenses as the Company explores strategic alternatives.

(c)	Includes costs to support the Company’s On Demand and AVOD offerings, along with costs related to the Company’s service and media network businesses.

(d)	Restructuring related costs include such items as employee severance charges.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are from cash on hand, cash flow generated from operations, and amounts available under its Revolving Credit Facility. Redbox has been exploring a number of potential strategic alternatives with respect to the Company’s corporate or capital structure and seeking financing to fund operations and one-time restructuring costs. The Company is executing on a series of previously announced restructuring actions and initiatives to improve its efficiency and reduce its cost structure, including, but not limited to, (i) optimizing its kiosk network and (ii) executing a workforce reduction across its supply chain and corporate teams. However, the risks and uncertainties related to the ongoing adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operating results, together with the Company’s recurring operating losses, accumulated deficit and negative working capital, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance as to when or whether the implementation of one or more of the Company’s strategic initiatives will be successful, or as to the effects the failure to take action may have on the Company’s business, its ability to achieve its operational and strategic goals or its ability to finance its business or refinance its indebtedness.

The Company has taken and continues to take actions to reduce expenses and manage working capital to preserve cash on-hand. These actions include, but are not limited to:

●

managing labor hours spent on field and servicing operations based upon inventory levels and demand;

●

extending payment terms with vendors;

●

delaying hiring for non-critical roles;

●

delaying timing on annual pay increases;

●

reducing long-term incentive compensation; and

●

limiting capital expenditures.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash decreased $5.0 million to $13.5 million from the December 31, 2021 balance of $18.5 million. As of June 30, 2022, amounts outstanding under the Company’s Term Loan Facility and revolving credit facilities were $317.4 million and $63.5 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2022 there was $21.0 million in remaining availability under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility. As described more fully below, on April 15, 2022, the Company entered into a Sixth Amendment to its Credit Agreement. For additional information see Note 6: Debt in Redbox’s Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Senior Facilities

Redbox Automated Retail, LLC (“RAR”) is party to a credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement was first entered into on October 20, 2017, and has subsequently been amended by an Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment”) dated September 7, 2018, a second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) dated September 30, 2020, a third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) dated December 28, 2020, a fourth amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) dated January 29, 2021, a fifth amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) dated May 16, 2021, and a consent to the Fifth Amendment dated October 11, 2021, and a sixth amendment (the “Sixth Amendment”), dated as of April 15, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, RAR’s Senior Facilities will mature on April 20, 2024, and subsequent to the Amendment, Second Amendment, Third Amendment, Fourth Amendment, Fifth Amendment, consent thereto and Sixth Amendment consisted of:

●

a first lien term loan B facility (the “Term Loan B”), in an original aggregate principal amount of $425.0 million;

●

a first lien term loan B-1 facility (the “Term Loan B-1”), in an original aggregate principal amount of $85.8 million;

●

a first lien term loan B-2 facility (the “Term Loan B-2”), in an original aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million;

●

a first lien revolving credit facility, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million (provided, that the commitments under such revolving facility were terminated in connection with the Sixth Amendment and such amounts, if repaid, may not be reborrowed); and

●

a first lien incremental revolving credit facility, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $50.0 million.

The Term Loan B was made available to RAR immediately upon closing of the Credit Agreement and was used in part to retire all $280.0 million of the Company’s existing debt and to settle closing costs associated with the new Term Loan B totaling $19.5 million of which $4.6 million was paid to Apollo Global Securities, LLC, an affiliate of Apollo, for services provided in connection with the financing. The balance of the Term Loan B proceeds were used towards a dividend, occurring on the same day, with total dividend of $160.0 million to equity holders of RAR. Additionally, at the execution of the new Credit Agreement, RAR wrote-off unamortized deferred financing costs of $21.7 million related to the extinguishment of the entire debt under the prior credit agreement.

On September 30, 2020, RAR entered into the second amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) to, among other things, to increase the total net leverage covenant during the remaining term of the Credit Agreement and revise the quarterly amortization payment schedule.

On December 28, 2020, RAR entered into a third amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”). The amendment deferred the December 2020 amortization payment to March 2021.

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2020, RAR’s Senior Facilities matured on October 20, 2022, and subsequent to the Amendment, Second Amendment and Third Amendment consisted of:

●

a first lien term loan B facility, in an original aggregate principal amount of $425.0 million;

●

a first lien term loan B-1 facility, in an original aggregate principal amount of $85.8 million; and

●

a first lien revolving credit facility, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million.

In addition, under the Fourth Amendment, RAR incurred an incremental first lien term loan B-2 facility (the “Term Loan B-2”) in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million which was provided by New Outerwall, Inc. The loan was subsequently assigned to Aspen Parent, Inc., an affiliate of Apollo and therefore a related party of the Company.

Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, interest is payable on the Senior Facilities entirely in cash or, for a specified period, could be paid by increasing the principal amount of the Senior Facilities (PIK Interest), or through a combination of cash and PIK interest, subject to certain liquidity thresholds. Borrowings under the Senior Facilities bear interest at a rate at RAR’s option, either (a) a London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) determined by reference to the costs of funds for Eurodollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing, adjusted for certain additional costs, subject to a 1.00% floor in the case of term loans or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (ii) the prime rate quoted by The Wall Street Journal (or another national publication selected by the administrative agent) and (iii) the one-month adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Senior Facilities is 7.25% with respect to Eurocurrency Borrowings (increasing to 8.25% if PIK Interest is paid) and 6.25% with respect to ABR Borrowings (increasing to 7.25% if PIK Interest is paid).

In connection with the Business Combination, on May 16, 2021, RAR entered into another amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”). The Fifth Amendment, which became effective upon consummation of the Business Combination, provided consent to the planned Business Combination and among other things, extended the Senior Facilities maturity date to October 2023 and subordinated the Term Loan B-2 to the Term Loan B and the Term Loan B-1. In addition, among other things, concurrently with the consummation of the Business Combination, (i) $15.0 million of cash proceeds from the Business Combination were used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and (ii) $35.0 million of cash proceeds from the Business Combination were used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan B and the Term Loan B-1.

On October 11, 2021, RAR entered into a consent to the Fifth Amendment to make certain additional changes to the Credit Agreement, which became effective upon consummation of the Business Combination, including extending the maturity date of the Senior Facilities to April 20, 2024 and extending the PIK interest option until December 31, 2022 (subject to a minimum pro forma liquidity).

On April 15, 2022, RAR entered into a sixth amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”) (capitalized terms used herein are defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). Pursuant to the Sixth Amendment, an additional $50.0 million in financing under the Credit Agreement will be made available to the Company subject to certain conditions, the proceeds of which will be used to make payments in accordance with the Budget Plan and pay certain fees and expenses. At entry into the Sixth Amendment, borrowings were limited to no more than $15.0 million in the aggregate. During April 2022, the Company borrowed the available $15.0 million under its Revolving Credit Facility. Pursuant to the Sixth Amendment, additional borrowings would become available if, by no later than May 10, 2022 (the “Signing Deadline Date”), the Company entered into a valid and binding definitive purchase agreement for the sale of all or substantially all of the assets, or all of the equity interests of the Company (the “Company Sale”), and which purchase agreement either (i) provided for the payment in full (principal and interest) of the Senior Facilities other than the Term B-2 Loans or (ii) otherwise was in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The details of the Sixth Amendment are discussed in Note 6: Debt in Redbox’s Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

On May 10, 2022, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc. (“CSSE”). As a result, additional borrowings under the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility became available upon the Company’s entry into the merger agreement with CSSE. The merger closed on August 11, 2022, and, as a result, the Company became a wholly

Table of Contents

owned subsidiary of CSSE. See Note 17: Subsequent Events in Redbox’s Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the CSSE merger.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the borrowing interest rate for the Senior Facilities was 9.80% and 9.25%, respectively.

Required minimum principal amortization payments under the Senior Facilities as of June 30, 2022, are as follows:


	Repayment
Dollars in thousands	Amount
2022	$	45,884
2023		—
2024		271,562
Total	$	317,446

In addition, the Senior Facilities require RAR to prepay outstanding term loan borrowings, subject to certain exceptions, with:

●

a certain percentage set forth in the Credit Agreement governing the Senior Facilities of RAR’s annual excess cash flow, as defined under the Senior Facilities;

●

the net cash proceeds of any issuance or incurrence of debt, other than proceeds from debt permitted under the Senior Facilities.

All obligations under the Senior Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by each of RAR’s existing and future direct and indirect material, wholly- owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, and the direct parent of RAR. The obligations are secured by a pledge of substantially all of RAR’s assets and those of each guarantor, including capital stock of the subsidiary guarantors and 65% of the capital stock of the first-tier foreign subsidiaries that are not subsidiary guarantors, in each case subject to certain exceptions, and its capital stock owned by RAR’s direct parent. Such security interests consist of a first-priority lien with respect to the collateral. For additional information regarding the Senior Facilities, see Note 6: Debt in Redbox’s Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Union Revolving Credit Facility

Borrowings under the Union Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at either the alternate base rate or LIBOR (based on an interest period selected by the Company of one month, three months or six months) in each case plus a margin. The alternate base rate loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the greatest of (i) the base rate in effect on such day, (ii) the federal funds effective rate in effect on such day plus 1⁄2 of 1.0%, and (iii) daily one month LIBOR plus 1.0%. The revolving credit facility borrowings that are LIBOR loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the applicable LIBOR plus a margin of 0.50%. The borrowing interest rate for the Union Revolving Credit Facility was 4.4% as of June 30, 2022 and 4.25% as of December 31, 2021, respectively.

On April 15, 2022, the Company agreed, pursuant to the Voting and Support Agreement (as more fully described in Note 1: Basis of Presentation in Redbox’s Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), to (i) permanently reduce a portion of its revolving commitment under its Union Revolving Credit Facility in an amount equal to $10.6 million (and the Company made such reduction) and (ii) among other agreements, refrain from borrowing under the Union Revolving Credit Facility without the consent of

Table of Contents

Aspen and Redwood Holdco, LP (other than with respect to certain scheduled borrowings and borrowings to cover interest, fees and expenses).

All obligations under the Union Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by all direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company’s Redbox Entertainment, LLC entity.

As of the period ended June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all applicable loan covenants.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $49.4 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $16.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The $33.3 million decrease in operating cash flows was primarily driven by the following:

●

$43.9 million decrease in net income;

●

$22.4 million increase in net cash inflows from changes in working capital primarily due to an increase in accrued liabilities; and

●

$11.8 million decrease in net non-cash income and expense included in net income primarily reflecting the non-cash pretax gain on the change in fair value on the warrant liabilities.

Investing Activities

Investing activities reflect a $5.8 million net use of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a $6.5 million net use of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease is due to less capital expenditures in 2022 compared to 2021, primarily on the Company’s kiosk infrastructure.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $50.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $24.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The $26.2 million increase reflects increased borrowings on the Company’s revolving facility along with $11.5 million in proceeds from the exercise of the Company’s warrants.

(3)

Asset retirement obligations represent estimated amounts the Company is obligated to pay to return the space a kiosk occupies to its original condition upon removal of a kiosk and are presented as occurring in 2025 and beyond as the timing of kiosk removals cannot be reasonably determined. The amount is included as a component of Other long term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(4)

Income tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions were excluded as the Company is not able to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the amount and period of related future payments. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $2.2 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than certain contractual arrangements listed above, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. For additional information see Note 13: Commitments and Contingencies in Redbox’s Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include amounts based on management’s prudent judgments and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Management believes that any reasonable deviation from those judgments and estimates would not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. To the extent that the estimates used differ from actual results, however, adjustments to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and corresponding Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets accounts would be necessary. These adjustments would be made in future periods. Some of the more significant estimates include goodwill, long-lived assets impairment, content library, and income taxes. For a further discussion of our significant accounting policies, refer to the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Guidance Adopted:

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842” or “ASC 842”) related to leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

The Company adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption and not restated comparative periods; rather the effect of the change is recorded at the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company will elect the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allows us to carryforward historical lease classification. In addition, we are electing the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases. Lastly, we elect the short-term lease recognition exemption for our leases. This means for short-term leases, we will not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU asset or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. In preparation for adoption of the standard, we have implemented internal controls to enable the preparation of financial information.

The Company recorded ROU assets of $9.1 million and lease liabilities for operating leases of $9.4 million as of January 1, 2022. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings and had no impact on cash flows. See Note 3: Leases in Redbox’s Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) to simplify the accounting for income taxes. This guidance removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The guidance also clarifies and simplifies other areas of ASC 740. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of its business. These risks primarily consist of fluctuations in interest rates.

The Company manages these risks primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and by using various derivative financial instruments such as interest rate hedges. The Company enters into derivative instruments with trusted and diverse counterparties to reduce credit risk. These derivative instruments are strictly used for risk management purposes and, accordingly, are not used for trading or speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risks

The Company is exposed to interest rate volatility with regard to its Senior Facilities. The Company manages this interest rate risk by periodically entering into interest rate derivative agreements to attempt to hedge the variability of future interest payments driven by fluctuations in interest rates.

The Company continually assesses interest rate sensitivity to estimate the impact of rising short-term interest rates on its variable rate debt. The Company’s interest rate risk management strategy is focused on limiting the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows to lower its overall borrowing cost. Historically, the Company has maintained the majority of its overall interest rate exposure on a fixed-rate basis. In order to achieve this, the Company has entered into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swap agreements when appropriate and will continue to do so as appropriate. See Note 7: Derivatives, in Redbox’s Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information about interest rate risks managed through derivative activities and notional amounts of underlying hedged items.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act requires that we conduct an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, and we have a disclosure policy in furtherance of the same. This evaluation is designed to ensure that all corporate disclosure is complete and accurate in all material respects. The evaluation is further designed to ensure that all information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is accumulated and communicated to

management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures and recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods and in the manner specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer supervise and participate in this evaluation, and they are assisted by other members of our Disclosure Committee.

We conducted the required evaluation, and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) were effective as of June 30, 2022 to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is party to a number of pending or threatened lawsuits arising out of, or incident to, the ordinary course of our business. See Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies of our Notes to unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report for information regarding legal proceedings, which is incorporated herein by reference in response to this item.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as noted below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

We may not achieve the intended benefits of the CSSE merger, or effectuate the other strategic alternatives we must implement in order to address our capital structure and financing needs.

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted our business in 2021, and continues to have ongoing adverse effects on our business and results of operations and capital structure. The Company is considering and announced a number of strategic alternatives or transactions to address the situation, including the recently completed merger with CSSE. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve the intended benefits of that transaction, or as to when or whether the Company will implement any action as a result of its other strategic initiatives or whether the implementation of one or more such actions will be successful. If the Company is unable to implement one or more of our other strategic alternatives, the Company could continue to experience adverse pressures on its relationships with counterparties, its ability to access the capital markets, its ability to execute on its operational and strategic goals and its business, prospects, results of operations and liquidity generally, and may be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On April 15, 2022, as a further condition of the Sixth Amendment, the Company issued to HPS Investment Partners, LLC (the administrative agent and collateral agent to the Credit Agreement) and certain affiliates (as defined in the Credit Agreement) the HPS Warrants to purchase 11,416,700 shares of Common Stock in the event certain milestones were not met under the Amended Credit Agreement. Upon signing of the Merger Agreement, the HPS Warrants became void and all rights of the warrant holders thereunder to exercise the HPS Warrants ceased. The issuance of the HPS Warrants was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The issuances of any shares of Common Stock in connection with the exercise of the HPS Warrants was also expected to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
