Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Asset Acquisition Agreement

In connection with the roll out of the Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (the "Company" or "TMTG") content delivery network ("CDN") technology, on July 3, 2024, the Company, WorldConnect Technologies, L.L.C. ("WCT"), WorldConnect IPTV Solutions, LLC ("Solutions") and JedTec, L.L.C. ("JedTec") entered into an asset acquisition agreement (the "Asset Acquisition Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire substantially all of the assets of WCT or its affiliate, which mainly included certain agreements, including an option agreement (the "Option Agreement"), dated February 5, 2024, by and between WCT, Perception Group, Inc., Perception TVCDN Ltd., and FORA, FOrum RAčunalništva, d.o.o., as amended and restated (each of the parties thereto other than WCT, collectively, "Perception"), as well as ancillary agreements related to the source code purchase (the "Source Code Purchase Agreement") and support and maintenance (the "Support and Maintenance Agreement", together with the Source Code Purchase Agreement, the "CDN Agreements"). The transaction is expected to close on the date the Company has implemented the Perception Software and Network (as defined below) with all back-end API services having become generally available on iOS, Google/Android, and web media services and with streaming enabled from at least one data-center, which closing is expected to occur as soon as July 2024 (the "Closing Date"), subject to customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that the Company will complete the transaction as described.

Pursuant to the Option Agreement on the Closing Date, WCT will enter and assign to the Company the CDN Agreements, which are expected to be used for the roll out of the CDN technology for the Truth platform (the updated version of the Company's Truth Social web and mobile application with streaming enabled using intellectual property obtained from Perception, the "Perception Software and Network"). In addition, Perception and its affiliates agreed not to use or permit other parties to use the Source Code (as defined below) for a period of five (5) years after the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement for any purpose that competes, in the United States, with the Truth platform or commercialization of such Source Code in the United States. In addition, the Option Agreement grants the (i) option to purchase Perception, subject to a future negotiation of the price and terms of such acquisition and (ii) right of first refusal to purchase Perception in the event of a bona fide written offer from an unaffiliated third party to purchase more than 50% of the assets of Perception. The Company does not have any current intention to exercise those rights.

Pursuant to the Asset Acquisition Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to Solutions and JedTec as consideration up to 5,100,000 shares (the "Shares") of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), 2,600,000 shares of which will be issued on the Closing Date and 2,500,000 shares of which will be issuable upon the satisfaction of certain Milestones (as defined in the Asset Acquisition Agreement). In addition, with respect to all of the Shares, for a period of 12 months after the Closing Date, neither JedTec, Solutions nor their respective affiliates will be permitted to collectively sell an amount of the Shares during any consecutive two trading week period (the "Two Week Sale Period") exceeding the "Set Percentage." For the purposes of this restriction, the "Set Percentage" means a percentage of the average daily trading volume of the Common Stock during the immediately preceding two consecutive trading weeks as reported on primary exchange on which the Common Stock is traded (i.e., currently the NASDAQ) (the "Prior Two Week ADTV"). Unsold amounts from a Two week Sale Period do not carry over to a subsequent Two Week Sale Period. The "Set Percentage" is 3% for the first six months after the Closing Date and 5% from six to 12 months after the Closing Date. For example, if during the first six months after the Closing date, a Prior Two Week ADTV is 5,000,000 shares, restricted holders cannot sell more than 150,000 shares during the following Two Week Sale Period. Under the same fact pattern during six to 12 months after the Closing Date, restricted holders could not sell more than 250,000 shares during such Two Week Sale Period.

The foregoing descriptions of the Asset Acquisition Agreement and the Option Agreement and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Asset Acquisition Agreement and the Option Agreement, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report and are incorporated by reference herein.

Standby Equity Purchase Agreement

On July 3, 2024, the Company entered into the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement ("SEPA" or "Agreement") with YA II PN, LTD., a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership ("Yorkville"). Pursuant to the SEPA, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Yorkville up to $2,500,000,000 of its Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA. Sales of shares to Yorkville under the SEPA, and the timing of any such sales, are at the Company's option, and the Company is under no obligation to sell any securities to Yorkville under the SEPA. In accordance with the Company's obligations under the SEPA, the Company is required to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") the resale by Yorkville of 37,644,380 shares of Common Stock that the Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to issue and sell to Yorkville, under the SEPA.

The Company does not have the right to commence any sales of shares to Yorkville under the SEPA until the date on which all of the conditions to Yorkville's purchase obligation set forth in the SEPA have been satisfied, including that the registration statement covering such sales be declared effective by the SEC and the final form of prospectus is filed with the SEC. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions to Yorkville's purchase obligation set forth in the SEPA, the Company will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at its discretion until the first day of the month following the 36-month period after the date of the SEPA, to direct Yorkville to purchase a specified amount of shares (each such sale, an "Advance") by delivering written notice to Yorkville (each, an "Advance Notice").

The per share subscription price Yorkville will pay for the shares will be 97.25% of the Market Price during a one- or three-day pricing period elected by the Company. The "Market Price" is defined in the SEPA as the lowest daily VWAP (as defined below) during the one trading day, in the case of a one-day pricing period, or of the three consecutive trading days, in the case of a three-day pricing period, commencing on the trading day on which the Company delivers an Advance Notice to Yorkville. "VWAP" means, for any trading day, the daily volume weighted average price of the Company's Common Stock for such date on NASDAQ as reported by Bloomberg L.P. during regular trading hours. There is no upper limit on the subscription price per share that Yorkville could be obligated to pay for the shares.

The Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of shares to Yorkville. Actual sales of shares to Yorkville under the SEPA will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, which may include, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the Company's Common Stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for its business and operations.

Yorkville will not be obligated to subscribe to any shares under the SEPA which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by Yorkville and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in the beneficial ownership by Yorkville and its affiliates to exceed 4.99% of the outstanding voting power or number of the Company's Common Stock (the "Beneficial Ownership Limitation").

The net proceeds under the SEPA to the Company will depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells shares to Yorkville. The Company expects that any proceeds received by it from such sales to Yorkville will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

As consideration for Yorkville's commitment to purchase shares at the Company's direction upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the SEPA, the Company agreed to pay YA Global II SPV, LLC, a subsidiary of Yorkville, (i) a structuring fee in the amount of $25,000 and (ii) a commitment fee in the form of 200,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Commitment Shares"). EF Hutton LLC ("EF Hutton") acted as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by the SEPA, for which the Company will issue to EF Hutton 125,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Placement Agent Shares"). The Commitment Shares and the Placement Agent Shares are expected to be issued concurrently or within one business day of the filing of the registration statement covering the resale of the shares under the SEPA.

The SEPA contains customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in such agreements were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

The Company shall not effect any sales under the SEPA and Yorkville shall not have any obligation to purchase shares under the SEPA to the extent that after giving effect to such purchase and sale the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued under the SEPA together with any shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any other transactions that may be considered part of the same series of transactions, where the average price of such sales would be less than $31.73 and the number of shares issued would exceed the number of shares representing 19.99% of the outstanding voting common stock as of June 25, 2024 (the "Exchange Cap"). Thus, the Company may not have access to the right to sell the full $2,500,000,000 shares to Yorkville.

As of June 25, 2024, there were 189,941,870 shares of Common Stock outstanding, and therefore the Exchange Cap would be 37,969,380 shares of Common Stock. In connection with the SEPA, the Company expects to register 37,969,380 shares of Common Stock, which represents the number of shares of Common Stock representing the Exchange Cap as of June 25, 2024, which amount shall include the (i) 200,000 Commitment Shares and (ii) 125,000 Placement Agent Shares.

Thus the Company expects to register the maximum amount that it could register without obtaining approval of stockholders in accordance with Nasdaq's "minimum price rule." However, if the Company desires to issue more than 37,969,380 shares at an average price per share that does not equal or exceed $31.73 (which represents the lower of (i) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) immediately preceding the date of the SEPA; or (ii) the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price for the five trading days immediately precedent the date of the SEPA), it would be required to obtain stockholder approval under the Nasdaq listing rules.

If and when the Company elects to issue and sell shares to Yorkville, the Company may need to register for resale under the Securities Act additional shares in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to the $2,500,000,000 available to the Company under the SEPA. If the Company elects to issue and sell more than the 37,644,380 shares to Yorkville, such additional issuance of shares could cause additional dilution to existing shareholders. The number of shares ultimately offered for resale by Yorkville is dependent upon the number of shares the Company may elect to sell to Yorkville under the SEPA.

The Company does not know what the subscription price for the shares will be and therefore cannot be certain as to the number of shares it might issue to Yorkville under the SEPA.

There are substantial risks to stockholders as a result of the sale and issuance of shares to Yorkville under the SEPA. These risks include the potential for substantial dilution and significant declines in the share price of the Company's securities. See "Effect of Sales of Shares under the SEPA on Stockholders" below.

Advances of Shares Under the SEPA

Advances

The Company has the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at its discretion, until the first day of the month following the 36-month period after the date of the SEPA, and up to an aggregate subscription amount of $2,500,000,000, to direct Yorkville to Advance a specified maximum amount of shares by delivering an Advance Notice on any trading day (each, an "Advance Notice Date").

Conditions to Each Advance

Yorkville's obligation to accept Advance Notices that are timely delivered by the Company under the SEPA and to purchase shares in Advances under the SEPA, is subject to the satisfaction, at the applicable Advance Notice Date, of certain conditions, including:

the accuracy in all material respects of the representations and warranties of the Company included in the SEPA;
the registration statement that includes this prospectus (and any one or more additional registration statements filed with the SEC that include shares that may be issued and sold by the Company to Yorkville under the SEPA) having been declared effective under the Securities Act by the SEC, and the Company shall have filed with the SEC in a timely manner all reports, notices and other documents required under the Exchange Act and applicable SEC regulations during the twelve-month period immediately preceding the applicable Condition Satisfaction Date;
the Company having performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by the SEPA to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Company;
the Company shall have obtained all permits and qualifications required by any applicable state for the offer and issuance of all the Shares issuable pursuant to such Advance Notice or shall have the availability of exemptions therefrom. The issuance of such Shares shall be legally permitted by all laws and regulations to which the Company is subject;
no condition, occurrence, state of facts or event constituting a Material Outside Event (as such term is defined in the SEPA) shall have occurred and be continuing;
no statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered, promulgated or endorsed by any court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction that prohibits or directly, materially and adversely affects any of the transactions contemplated by the SEPA;
the shares are quoted for trading on the Nasdaq (or the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE American, the Nasdaq Global Market, or the Nasdaq Capital Market) and all the shares issuable pursuant to such Advance Notice will be approved for trading on the Principal Market. The issuance of shares with respect to the applicable Advance Notice will not violate the shareholder approval requirements of the exchange. The Company shall not have received any written notice that is then still pending threatening the continued quotation of the shares on the stock exchange;
there shall be a sufficient number of authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved shares of Common Stock for the issuance of all of the shares issuable pursuant to such Advance Notice; and
except with respect to the first Advance Notice, the Company shall have delivered all shares relating to all prior Advances, and at least 5 trading days shall have elapsed from the immediately preceding Advance Date.

Termination of the SEPA

Unless earlier terminated as provided in the SEPA, the SEPA will terminate automatically on the earliest to occur of:

the first day of the month next following the 36-month anniversary of the date of the SEPA; and
the date on which Yorkville shall have purchased shares under the SEPA for an aggregate gross purchase price equal to $2,500,000,000;

The Company also has the right to terminate the SEPA at any time, at no cost or penalty, upon five (5) trading days' prior written notice to Yorkville, provided that there are no outstanding Advance Notices under which the Company is to issue shares.

The Company and Yorkville may also agree to terminate the SEPA by mutual written consent. Neither the Company nor Yorkville may assign or transfer their respective rights and obligations under the SEPA, and no provision of the SEPA may be modified or waived by the Company or Yorkville other than by an instrument in writing signed by both parties.

No Short-Selling by Yorkville

Yorkville has agreed that it and its affiliates will not engage in any short sales during the term of the SEPA and will not enter into any transaction that establishes a net short position with respect to the Shares. The SEPA stipulates that Yorkville may sell our Shares to be issued pursuant to an Advance Notice, following receipt of the Advance Notice, but prior to receiving such shares and may sell other shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the SEPA that Yorkville has continuously held from a prior date of acquisition.

Effect of Sales of Shares under the SEPA on Stockholders

All shares that may be issued or sold by the Company to Yorkville under the SEPA, when registered under the Securities Act for resale by Yorkville pursuant to an effective registration statement are expected to be freely tradable. Such shares may be issued and sold by the Company to Yorkville from time to time at its discretion over the term of the SEPA. The resale by Yorkville of a significant amount of shares registered for resale at any given time, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the market price of the Company's Common Stock to decline and to be highly volatile. Sales of shares, if any, to Yorkville under the SEPA will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by the Company. The Company may ultimately decide to sell to Yorkville all, some or none of the shares that may be available to sell to Yorkville pursuant to the SEPA.

If and when the Company elects to sell Shares to Yorkville pursuant to the SEPA, Yorkville may resell all, some or none of such shares in its discretion and at different prices subject to the terms of the SEPA. As a result, investors who purchase shares from Yorkville at different times will likely pay different prices for those shares, and so may experience different levels of dilution and in some cases substantial dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase from Yorkville as a result of future sales made by the Company to Yorkville at prices lower than the prices such investors paid for their shares. In addition, if the Company sells a substantial number of shares to Yorkville under the SEPA, or if investors expect that the Company will do so, the actual sales of shares or the mere existence of the SEPA arrangement with Yorkville may make it more difficult for the Company to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a desirable time and price.

Because the purchase price per share to be paid by Yorkville for the shares that the Company may elect to sell to Yorkville under the SEPA, if any, will fluctuate based on the market prices of the Company's Common Stock during the applicable Pricing Period (as defined in the SEPA), as of the date of this report, the Company cannot reliably predict the number of shares that the Company will sell to Yorkville under the SEPA, the actual purchase price per share to be paid by Yorkville for those shares, or the actual gross proceeds to be raised by the Company from those sales, if any.

The issuance, if any, of shares to Yorkville pursuant to the SEPA will not affect the rights or privileges of our existing stockholders, except that the economic and voting interests of each of our existing stockholders would be diluted. Although the number of shares that existing stockholders own would not decrease as a result of sales, if any, under the SEPA, the shares owned by our existing stockholders would represent a smaller percentage of the Company's total outstanding Common Stock after any such issuance.

The foregoing description of the SEPA is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the SEPA, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the issuance of the common stock is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.

The Shares to WCT will be issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The recipients of the Shares are "accredited investors" as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act. The Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and thus such shares may not be offered or sold in the United States in the absence of an effective registration statement or exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

The offer and sale of shares of common stock pursuant to the SEPA is and will be made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of any offer to buy the shares of common stock, nor shall there be an offer, solicitation or sale of the shares of common stock in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state.

This Current Report on Form 8-K, including this Item 3.02, shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On July 3, 2024, the Company issued a press release (the "Press Release") in connection with the entry into the Asset Acquisition Agreement and the SEPA. The foregoing description of the Press Release is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Press Release, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

WCT Source Code Purchase Agreement

Concurrently with the closing of the Asset Acquisition Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to the willingness of the Company to enter into it, WCT agreed to exercise the option to enter into and assign to the Company the Source Code Purchase Agreement and the Support and Maintenance Agreement on the Closing Date.

Under the Source Code Purchase Agreement, Perception will sell a copy of the source code of the software related to the CDN technology ("Source Code") and grant the WCT (which grant was assigned under the Asset Acquisition Agreement to the Company) an irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual right and license to forever retain, copy, reproduce, use, modify, enhance, create modifications and derivative works of, display, distribute, perform, compile, execute, sublicense, and otherwise exploit the Source Code and all resulting compiled software for commercial exploitation. The purchase price of $17,500,000 will be payable by the Company in four installments to be completed by the third anniversary of the execution date of the Source Code Purchase Agreement. Further to supplement the Source Code Purchase Agreement, WCT will enter into a Support and Maintenance Agreement, under which Perception is to assist the Company in commercializing the Source Code to develop, launch, and grow the platform. The acquisition of the Source Code is effective as of the Closing Date. Pursuant to the Asset Acquisition Agreement, the Company assumes WCT's rights and obligations under the Source Code Purchase Agreement and the Support and Maintenance Agreement.

In connection with the Source Code Agreement, the Company will enter into a source code escrow agreement related to the sale of the Source Code. Pursuant to such agreement, Perception will deposit a copy of the Source Code into an escrow account. Subject to certain terms and conditions, the escrow agent will hold the Source Code until Perception receives the full purchase price of $17,500,000 for the Source Code. Upon full payment, the Source Code and any modifications will be released to the Company.

WCT Registration Rights Agreement

The Company will enter into a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") with Solutions and JedTec on the Closing Date, pursuant to which the Company will file a registration statement with the SEC to register for resale the Shares as soon as practicable upon the Closing Date and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and remain effective until all the Shares covered by such registration statement have been sold.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is not complete and are qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.4 to this Current Report and is incorporated by reference herein.

Emerging Growth Company Status Update

The Company expects to lose its emerging growth company and smaller reporting company status at the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, when the Company expects to qualify as a large accelerated filer based on the worldwide market value of its Common Stock held by non-affiliates as at June 30, 2024.

Risk Factor Update

The Company is also supplementing the risk factors previously disclosed in the Risk Factors section of its registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-278678), initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2024, as amended, to update and replace in their entirety the following risk factors under "Risks Related to TMTG's Business" and "Risks Related to Ownership of TMTG Securities", as applicable:

If TMTG encounters issues with the rollout and implementation of its streaming content plans, TMTG may delay or decide not to fully implement the service, which may affect TMTG's growth strategy and operations.

TMTG plans to roll out its streaming content in three phases: Phase 1: Introduce Truth Social's content delivery network ("CDN") for streaming live TV to the Truth Social app for Android, iOS, and Web. Phase 2: Release stand-alone Truth Social over-the-top streaming apps for phones, tablets, and other devices. Phase 3: Release Truth Social streaming apps for home TV. As part of the roll out of its own CDN, TMTG entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement and the related ancillary maintenance and support agreements with WCT and its affiliates, pursuant to which upon the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement WCT will assign TMTG an irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual right and license to forever retain, copy, reproduce, use, modify, enhance, create modifications and derivative works of, display, distribute, perform, compile, execute, sublicense, and otherwise exploit the Source Code and all resulting compiled software for commercial exploitation. In addition, Perception and its affiliates agreed not to use or permit other parties to use the source code for a period of five (5) years after the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement for any purpose that competes, in the United States, with the Truth platform or commercialization of such source code in the United States.

TMTG expects to distribute a beta version of Phase 1 in the third quarter of 2024 and fully launch Phase 1 by the end of 2024. Beta versions of Phases 2 and 3 are expected to follow shortly after the launch of the beta version of Phase 1. TMTG anticipates starting to generate revenue from this technology during 2025, contingent upon the successful implementation of all three phases.

The foregoing timeline and revenue generation expectations are preliminary and depend on several factors, including TMTG's ability to economically launch its CDN technology. This may depend on TMTG's ability to develop, integrate and effectively capitalize on the benefits such technology, successfully complete beta testing, and list the relevant apps on leading app stores. Any delays or challenges in these areas could materially affect the timeline and/or implementation of the CDN technology. If TMTG is unable to address these challenges effectively, it could result in significant delays, increased costs, and the inability to meet revenue timeline expectations. Any of these risks may lead to TMTG deciding to cease the implementation of the rollout of TMTG's streaming content and CDN technology altogether, which would have a material adverse effect on TMTG's growth strategy and may result in a material adverse effect on the results and operations of TMTG.

TMTG plans to continue making acquisitions that could require significant management attention, disrupt its business, new capital, result in dilution to its stockholders, and adversely affect its financial results.

As part of its business strategy, TMTG intends to continue making acquisitions to add specialized employees, complementary companies, products, or technologies. As such, TMTG is, and will continue from time to time, evaluating certain acquisitions of business and technologies as part of its long-term strategy. However, prior to the Asset Purchase Agreement and the related ancillary maintenance and support agreements, TMTG had not previously completed any such strategic acquisitions. As a result, its ability to successfully acquire and integrate the WCT assets or larger or more significant companies, products, or technologies is unproven. As such, TMTG may struggle to leverage resources effectively to capitalize on the benefits of the WCT acquisition and execute its business plan. Furthermore, in the future, TMTG may not be able to find other suitable acquisition candidates and complete acquisitions on favorable terms, if at all. TMTG's future acquisitions may not achieve its goals, and any future acquisitions that TMTG completes could be viewed negatively by users, developers, advertisers, or investors.

If TMTG fails to successfully integrate any acquisitions, or the technologies associated with any of its acquisitions, into Truth Social, or any future product offerings, the revenue and operating results of TMTG could be adversely affected. Any integration process may require significant time and resources, and TMTG may not beable to manage the process successfully. TMTG may not successfully evaluate or utilize the acquired technology or personnel, or accurately forecast the financial impact of an acquisition transaction, including accounting charges. TMTG may have to pay cash, incur debt, or continue to issue equity securities to pay for any such acquisition, any of which could adversely affect TMTG's financial results. The sale of equity or issuance of debt to finance any such acquisitions would continue to dilute existing TMTG's stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could also include covenants or other restrictions that would impede TMTG's ability to manage TMTG's operations.

Warrants may continue to be exercised for TMTG common stock, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders.

DWAC issued 14,375,000 Public Warrants as part of its IPO and, on the IPO closing date, DWAC issued 566,742 Placement Warrants to ARC. In addition, DWAC issued 6,549,509 Post-IPO Warrants. The TMTG common stock issuable upon the exercise of our Warrants will result in dilution to the then existing TMTG stockholders and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of TMTG common stock and Public Warrants.

The Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the securities issued in DWAC's IPO except that, so long as they are held by ARC or its permitted transferees, (i) they will not be redeemable by us, (ii) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis, and (iii) they are subject to registration rights.

Future sales, or the perception of future sales, by TMTG or its stockholders in the public market could cause the market price for TMTG's common stock to decline.

The sale of shares of TMTG common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of shares of TMTG common stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for TMTG to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that it deems appropriate.

In connection with the Merger, certain existing Private TMTG stockholders, who owned 59.7% shares of TMTG common stock following the Closing agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to dispose of or hedge any of their shares of TMTG common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of TMTG common stock during the period from the date of the Closing continuing through the earliest of: (i) the six-month anniversary of the Closing, (ii) the date on which the Closing price of TMTG common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing, and (iii) such date on which TMTG completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of TMTG's stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of TMTG common stock for cash, securities or other property.

In addition, the shares of TMTG common stock reserved for future issuance under the 2024 Plan will become eligible for sale in the public market once those shares are issued, subject to any applicable vesting requirements, lockup agreements and other restrictions imposed by law. A total number of shares representing 7.5% of the fully diluted, and as converted, outstanding shares of TMTG common stock immediately following the Closing of the Merger, taking into account the Earnout Shares, have been reserved for future issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan. TMTG is expected to file one or more registration statements on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register shares of TMTG common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of TMTG common stock issued pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan. Any such Form S-8 registration statements will automatically become effective upon filing. Accordingly, shares registered under such registration statements will be available for sale in the open market.

Moreover, we have an effective registration statement for the resale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock that significantly exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock constituting our public float. Accordingly, the filing of additional registration statements, including the registration statement for the shares to be issued to Yorkville pursuant to the SEPA, and the sale of all such shares by the selling securityholders, or the perception that further registration statements covering new shares or that sales of any such shares could occur, could depress the market price of our Common Stock.

In the future, TMTG may continue to issue securities in connection with investments or acquisitions, including the acquisitions or licensing of certain technologies that TMTG is actively exploring for its platform. The amount of shares of TMTG common stock issued in connection with an investment or acquisition could constitute a material portion of the then-outstanding shares of TMTG common stock. Any issuance of additional securities in connection with investments or acquisitions may result in additional dilution to TMTG stockholders and increase the volatility of the trading price of our Common Stock.

The sale and issuance of shares to Yorkville will cause dilution to our existing shareholders, and the sale of shares acquired by Yorkville, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our Common Stock to fall.

The purchase price for the shares that we may sell to Yorkville under the SEPA will fluctuate based on the price of our Common Stock. Depending on a number of factors, including market liquidity, sales of such shares may cause the trading price of our Common Stock to fall. If and when we do sell shares to Yorkville, Yorkville may resell all, some, or none of those shares at its discretion, subject to the terms of the SEPA. Therefore, sales to Yorkville by us could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our Common Stock. Additionally, the sale of a substantial number of shares to Yorkville, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a desirable time and price. The resale of shares by Yorkville in the public market or otherwise, including sales pursuant to this prospectus, or the perception that such sales could occur, could also harm the prevailing market price of our Common Stock.

Following any such issuances and following the expiration of lock-ups of certain other restricted shareholders and as restrictions on resale end and registration statements are available for use, the market price of our Common Stock could decline if the holders of restricted or locked up shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. As such, sales of a substantial number of our Common Stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our Common Stock. The sale of all shares of Common Stock by selling securityholders, or the perception that these sales could occur, could depress the market price of our Common Stock. While selling securityholders may, on average, experience a positive rate of return based on the current market price, public stockholders may not experience a similar rate of return on the common stock they purchased if there is such a decline in price and due to differences in the purchase prices and the current market price. The sale of the shares of common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus, or the perception that these sales could occur, could result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our Common Stock. See "Risk Factors - The market prices of TMTG's Common Stock and Public Warrants have been and may continue to be extremely volatile, which could cause purchasers of TMTG's securities to incur substantial losses."

Litigation and Legal Proceeding Update

The Company is also supplementing the summary of litigation previously disclosed in the Our Business section of its registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-278678), initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2024, as amended, to update and replace in their entirety the "Litigation" section:

Section 16 Claim

On October 20, 2023, Robert Lowinger (the "Plaintiff") filed a complaint against Rocket One Capital, LLC ("Rocket One"), Michael Shvartsman, Bruce Garelick, and Digital World in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The case is Lowinger v. Rocket One Capital, LLC, et al., No. 1:23-CV-9243 (S.D.N.Y. Oct. 20, 2023). According to the complaint, Digital World was named as a party in the lawsuit because the Plaintiff is seeking relief for the benefit of Digital World. In the complaint, the Plaintiff contends that, in 2021, Mr. Garelick and Rocket One were directors of Digital World and that they purchased securities of Digital World. The Plaintiff further alleges that within a six-month period from the date of their purchases, both Mr. Garelick and Rocket One sold securities in Digital World and realized profits from those sales. Additionally, the Plaintiff alleges that Mr. Shvartsman had a financial interest in the profits resulting from Rocket One's purchases and sales of Digital World's securities. According to the Plaintiff, under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. §78p(b)), Rocket One, Mr. Shvartsman, and Mr. Garelick are each required to disgorge certain trading profits to Digital World.

On March 1, 2024, Digital World filed a motion to dismiss the claims against Digital World.

On June 5, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York granted a motion by Defendants Michael Shvartsman and Bruce Garelick to transfer the action to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. In transferring the action, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York held that pending motions to dismiss, including the motion filed by DWAC, will be decided by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida (C.A. No. 24-CV-22429).

Litigation with United Atlantic Ventures ("UAV") in Delaware

On July 30, 2021, an attorney for the Trump Organization, on behalf of President Trump, declared void ab initio a services agreement that had granted Private TMTG, among other things, extensive intellectual property and digital media rights related to President Trump for purposes of commercializing the various Private TMTG initiatives (the "Services Agreement"). Neither Private TMTG nor Digital World was a party to such agreement.

On each of January 18, 2024 and February 9, 2024, Digital World received letters from counsel to UAV, a party to the Services Agreement. The letters contained certain assertions and enclosed a copy of the Services Agreement that had been declared void two and a half years earlier. Specifically, counsel for UAV claims that the Services Agreement grants UAV rights to (1) appoint two directors to TMTG and its successors (i.e., TMTG after the Business Combination), (2) approve or disapprove of the creation of additional TMTG shares or share classes and anti-dilution protection for future issuances and (3) a $1.0 million expense reimbursement claim. In addition, UAV asserts that the Services Agreement is not void ab initio and claims that certain events following the July 30, 2021 notification support its assertion that such Services Agreement was not void.

On February 6, 2024, a representative of UAV sent a text message to a representative of a noteholder of TMTG suggesting that UAV might seek to enjoin the Business Combination. On February 9, 2024, Private TMTG received from counsel to UAV a letter similar to those letters received by Digital World, which also threatened Private TMTG with legal action regarding UAV's alleged rights in Private TMTG, including, if necessary, an action to enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.

On February 28, 2024, UAV filed a verified complaint against Private TMTG in the Chancery Court seeking declaratory and injunctive relief relating to the authorization, issuance, and ownership of stock in Private TMTG and filed a motion for expedited proceedings (C.A. No. 2024-0184-MTZ). On March 4, 2024, UAV filed an amended complaint, converting their action from a direct action to a purported derivative action, and adding members of the Private TMTG board as defendants.

On March 9, 2024, the Chancery Court held a hearing to decide UAV's motion to expedite proceedings. During the oral argument, Private TMTG agreed that any additional shares of Private TMTG issued prior to or upon the consummation of the Business Combination would be placed in escrow pending a resolution of the dispute between the parties. The Chancery Court entered an order consistent with the foregoing on March 15, 2024, and scheduled a status conference for April 1, 2024.

On April 2, 2024, UAV filed a motion for leave to file a second amended complaint together with a motion for preliminary injunction and a motion for contempt and anti-suit injunction related to Private TMTG's filing of a separate litigation against UAV and others in Florida state court. Private TMTG maintains that the contempt claims are meritless. On April 9, 2024, the Chancery Court granted the motion for leave to file a second amended complaint on April 9, 2024 and re-assigned the case to a new judge.

On April 11, 2024, UAV filed its second amended complaint, naming the prior Defendants together with five new defendants--TMTG and the current directors on the TMTG Board who were not on Private TMTG's board of directors.

On April 22, 2024, all of the Defendants moved to vacate the Chancery Court's prior order expediting the matter. Additionally, all of the Defendants moved to dismiss the second amended complaint. Following briefing and oral argument on the motion to vacate, on April 30, 2024, the Chancery Court vacated the prior provisions of the March 15 order expediting the matter.

On May 6, 2024, UAV filed its Renewed Motion for Contempt of the March 15, 2024 Order against Private TMTG seeking, among other things, to enjoin Private TMTG and related parties from prosecuting certain claims in Florida state court. On May 8, 2024, the Chancery Court stayed discovery and granted a protective order with respect to all discovery served on Defendants and all other persons from whom discovery was being sought. On May 23, 2024, the Chancery Court set a hearing on the contempt motion for July 12, 2024. On June 5, 2024, UAV filed for leave to again amend its complaint.

The proposed Third Amended Complaint seeks to dismiss as defendants three current TMTG directors (W. Kyle Green, Linda McMahon, and Robert Lighthizer) and add four former DWAC directors (Frank J. Andrews, Patrick F. Orlando, Edward J. Preble, and Jeffrey A. Smith). As of July 1, 2024, UAV had not filed the Third Amended Complaint.

This matter remains pending.

Litigation with ARC in Delaware

On February 29, 2024, ARC filed a lawsuit in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (C.A. No. 2024-0186-LWW) against DWAC and its directors, alleging an impending violation of the Digital World Charter for failure to commit to issue the number of conversion shares to ARC that ARC claims it is owed upon the consummation of the Business Combination. The complaint claimed a new conversion ratio of 1.78:1 and sought specific performance and damages for the alleged breach of the Digital World Charter, a declaratory judgment that the certain derivative securities of Digital World should be included in the calculation of the conversion ratio, a finding that the directors of Digital World breached their fiduciary duties, and a preliminary injunction to enjoin the Business Combination until Digital World "corrected" the conversion ratio.

We do not believe ARC's 1.78:1 conversion ratio and related claims are supported by the terms of the Digital World Charter. As a result, we have vigorously defended Digital World's calculation of the conversion ratio and related rights. In addition to its complaint, ARC also filed a motion with the Chancery Court requesting that the case schedule be expedited to enable the Chancery Court to conduct an injunction hearing prior to the March 22, 2024 shareholder vote. On March 5, 2024, the court denied ARC's motion, stating that it would not conduct a merits or injunction hearing before March 22, 2024. Consequently, the Chancery Court also denied ARC's request to postpone the vote until after a merits hearing.

The Chancery Court ruled that Digital World's proposal to deposit disputed shares into an escrow account at the close of the Business Combination was adequate to prevent potential irreparable harm related to ARC's share conversion. The court also found that Digital World's public disclosures about ARC's claims and possible conversion scenarios at the close of the Business Combination further mitigated the risk of irreparable harm due to insufficient disclosure for the March 22, 2024 vote.

On March 22, 2024, the Chancery Court entered a Scheduling Order setting the case for a single-day trial on June 26, 2024. The trial was subsequently rescheduled to July 29, 2024.

On May 23, 2024, ARC filed a motion for leave to amend its complaint. ARC requested leave to add new factual allegations and legal theories, in addition to a cause of action for breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. On June 5, 2024, the Court denied leave to add a cause of action for breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, but granted leave in part to add new legal theories to existing claims and adjust its claimed conversion ratio from 1.78:1 to 1.81:1

In relation to the Delaware Lawsuit, Digital World notified its shareholders on March 14, 2024, of its intention to apply a conversion ratio to all Digital World Class B common stock shares to ensure that ARC and the Non-ARC Class B Shareholders receive an equal number of common stock shares in the Company per share of Digital World Class B common stock. Accordingly, on March 21, 2024, Digital World entered into the Disputed Shares Escrow Agreements with the Escrow Agent, pursuant to which TMTG deposited into escrow the number of shares of TMTG Common Stock representing the difference between the actual conversion ratio, determined by Digital World's board of directors upon closing of the Business Combination (which was determined to be 1.348:1), and a conversion ratio of 2.00. Any release of shares is subject to the terms and conditions of the Disputed Shares Escrow Agreements.

The ultimate resolution as to whether none, a portion or all of the disputed conversion shares will be issued is not determinable at this time. As a general matter, the pursuit of the claims may be costly and time consuming and could have a material adverse effect on TMTG's reputation and its existing stockholders and may result in counterclaims.

Lawsuit With Patrick Orlando in Delaware

On March 15, 2024, Plaintiff Patrick Orlando brought a lawsuit against Digital World in the Chancery Court seeking advancement of legal fees associated with Mr. Orlando's involvement in civil litigation against Digital World in Florida and certain other matters (the "Advancement Lawsuit") (C.A. No. 2024-0264-LWW). Mr. Orlando's allegations relate to certain provisions in the Digital World Charter, Digital World's bylaws, and an indemnity agreement allegedly entered into between Mr. Orlando and Digital World. Mr. Orlando alleges that those certain provisions require Digital World to pay the legal fees Mr. Orlando incurred and will incur in connection with legal proceedings in which he is involved by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of Digital World. Mr. Orlando seeks a court order that (i) declares that he is entitled to legal fees for certain proceedings described in the complaint, (ii) requires Digital World to pay for legal fees incurred and future legal fees to be incurred for those proceedings, (iii) requires Digital World to pay the fees incurred to bring the Advancement Lawsuit, and (iv) requires Digital World to pay pre- and post-judgment interest on the amounts owed to Mr. Orlando.

On April 3, 2024, the Chancery Court entered a Stipulation and Advancement Order ("Stipulation") stating that Mr. Orlando is entitled to advancement of attorneys' fees and costs incurred with legal proceedings described in the Stipulation, subject to Digital World's right to challenge the reasonableness of those attorneys' fees and costs. The Stipulation further states that Mr. Orlando is entitled to fees incurred in connection with enforcement of advancement rights and sets forth procedures that will govern future requests for advancement of attorneys' fees and costs. As of June 30, 2024, TMTG had paid or agreed to pay more than $500,000 to Mr. Orlando's attorneys pursuant to such Stipulation.

On April 23, 2024, Mr. Orlando filed a motion for leave to supplement the Advancement Lawsuit to add a claim for advancement of legal fees and expenses Mr. Orlando has incurred and will incur in connection with his defense of an action for declaratory judgment brought by members of ARC regarding Mr. Orlando's removal as the managing member of ARC. Mr. Orlando also seeks reimbursement for the legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with his supplement to the Advancement Lawsuit, and he seeks pre-judgment and post-judgment interest on the amounts he claims are owed to him. On May 31, 2024, the Chancery Court granted, in part, Mr. Orlando's motion for leave to supplement the Advancement Lawsuit. The Chancery Court has scheduled a merits hearing for September 23, 2024.

Lawsuit Against UAV, Litinsky, Moss, and Orlando in Florida

On March 24, 2024, Private TMTG filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of the Twelfth Judicial Circuit for Sarasota County, Florida (Docket No. 2024-CA-001545-NC) against UAV, Andrew Litinsky, Wesley Moss, and Patrick Orlando. In view of UAV's repeated demands concerning its alleged stock ownership and director appointment rights, the complaint alleges claims for a declaratory judgment against UAV determining that the Services Agreement is unenforceable against Private TMTG. The complaint also asserts a claim for unjust enrichment against UAV based on its failure to competently provide services to the company. Finally, the complaint asserts claims for damages for (a) breach of the fiduciary duty of loyalty against Mr. Litinsky and Mr. Moss based on their dealings with Mr. Orlando, (b) aiding and abetting and conspiracy to breach fiduciary duty against Mr. Orlando based on the same events, and (c) breach of the fiduciary duty of care against Mr. Litinsky and Mr. Moss for their gross negligence in managing the company.

On April 25, 2024, Private TMTG filed a motion to consolidate this lawsuit with the Lawsuit Against ARC and Patrick Orlando in Sarasota County, Florida described above for purposes of discovery and pretrial proceedings. That motion is currently pending before the court.

On June 27, 2024, the court granted Mr. Moss, Mr. Litinsky, and UAV's motion to stay proceedings pending resolution of the Delaware litigation involving UAV. The court also denied Private TMTG's motion for an anti-suit injunction.

Lawsuit By Orlando and Benessere in Miami, Florida

On April 2, 2024, Patrick Orlando and Benessere Investment Group, LLC filed suit against TMTG in the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial District in Miami-Dade County Florida (Docket No. 2024-005894-CA-01). Orlando and Benessere seek a declaratory judgment that TMTG is restricted from disclosing material exchanged with Orlando and Benessere pursuant to a joint defense agreement previously entered into by the Parties in addition to a request for damages for any breach of the joint defense agreement. Also on April 2, 2024, Orlando and Benessere filed a motion for preliminary injunction for enforcement of the joint defense agreement. As of May 2, 2024, the motion for preliminary injunction had not been set for hearing.

Litigation with ARC Noteholders in Miami, Florida

On May 8, 2024, a group of ARC noteholders (Edwin B. Tucker et al.) filed suit against ARC and DWAC n/k/a TMTG in the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial District in Miami-Dade County, Florida (Docket No. 2024-008668-CA-01). The noteholders seek specific performance and compensatory damages from both defendants or, in the alternative, damages for breach of contract from ARC, in connection with shares of TMTG to which the ARC noteholders assert they are entitled. TMTG was served in this action on June 11, 2024.

Lawsuit filed in Small Claims Court - Pinellas County, Florida

On April 29, 2024, a small claims action was filed in Pinellas County by Keith Rossignol and Richard Epp, appearing pro se, against "Digital World Acquisition, Inc.", demanding the return of one hundred shares in DWAC to each Plaintiff (i.e., 200 shares total) or, alternatively, an $8,000 Judgment, plus court costs, if DWAC "fails [sic] to reinstate the 200 shares promptly." A hearing was held on May 29, 2024. The court granted our motion to dismiss the action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, improper venue, failure to state a claim, failure to include an indispensable party, and failure to sue the right defendant and gave the plaintiffs 20 days to amend. On June 17, 2024, Rossignol filed an amended statement of claim.

Litigation with Michael Melkersen in Miami, Florida

On June 20, 2024, Michael Melkersen ("Melkersen") filed suit against defendants including TMTG in the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial District in Miami-Dade County, Florida (Docket No. 2024-011456-CA-01). The lawsuit primarily pertains to a dispute between Melkersen and ARC over the rightful ownership of certain shares, but includes claims against TMTG for breach of contract, replevin, and unjust enrichment.

Litigation with Odyssey Transfer & Trust Company in Delaware

On June 20, 2024, TMTG's transfer agent, Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company ("Odyssey") filed an interpleader action in the U.S. District Court of the District of Delaware (C.A. No. 24-CV-00729). The complaint pertains to the ongoing dispute regarding share ownership between Melkersen and ARC and includes TMTG as a nominal defendant. Odyssey is seeking an order from the Court discharging Odyssey of further liability and requiring ARC and TMTG to resolve their competing claims as to 716,140 Class A shares of TMTG and 25,000 TMTG warrants. Also on June 20, 2024, Odyssey filed a motion to enjoin Defendants from making any claim against Odyssey arising out of the interpleader action and a motion for expedited proceedings regarding the motion to enjoin Defendants. On June 27, 2024, the Court granted Odyssey's motion for expedited proceedings and set a deadline of July 3, 2024, for any opposition to the motion to enjoin.

This matter remains pending.

Purchaser represents and warrants to the Sellers that the Sellers shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information received from Purchaser or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents, and the Sellers shall no longer be subject to any confidentiality or similar obligations under any current agreement, whether written or oral, with Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

37

Unless required by law (in which case each of Purchaser and the Sellers shall consult, to the fullest extent permitted by law, with the other party prior to any such disclosure as to the form and content of such disclosure) or applicable rules of any stock exchange or quotation system on which Purchaser or its Affiliates lists or trades securities, no press releases, announcements to employees of, or any other Persons having business dealings with, the Company or other releases of information related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby will be issued or released without the consent of Purchaser. The Sellers and Purchaser agree to keep the terms of this Agreement confidential, except to the extent required by applicable law, applicable rules of any stock exchange or quotation system on which Purchaser or its Affiliates lists or trades securities, or for financial reporting purposes, and except that the parties may disclose such terms to their respective employees, accountants, advisors and other representatives as necessary in connection with the ordinary conduct of their respective businesses (so long as such Persons agree to or are bound by contract to keep the terms of this Agreement confidential).

6.3 Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall be solely responsible for and shall bear all of its own costs and expenses incident to its obligations under and in respect of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to, any such costs and expenses incurred by any party hereto in connection with the negotiation, preparation and performance of and compliance with the terms of this Agreement (including the fees and expenses of legal counsel, accountants, investment bankers or other representatives and consultants).

6.4 Tax Matters.

(a) Company Taxes. The Sellers shall jointly and severally indemnify Purchaser and hold it harmless from and against any and all Company Taxes. The Sellers shall reimburse Purchaser for any Company Taxes within five (5) Business Days following written request for reimbursement from Purchaser; provided that in no event shall any such payment be required more than five (5) Business Days before the relevant Taxes are due.

(b) Tax Returns. Purchaser and the Sellers shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Purchased Assets or the Company's business. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party's request and expense) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return, audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder. Purchaser and the Sellers agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Purchased Assets or the Company's business relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Purchaser, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority.

38

(c) Straddle Period. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end as of) the Closing Date (a "Straddle Period"), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts, payroll or sales of the Company for the tax period prior to the Closing or imposed on a transactional basis shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the end of the Closing Date, and the amount of other Taxes of the Company for such Straddle Period which relate to the tax period prior to the Closing shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for such entire Straddle Period, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period ending as of the end of the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

(d) Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration, stamp and other Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest thereon) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (together, "Transfer Taxes") shall be paid by the Company when due, and the Company shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes.

(e) Intended Tax Treatment. The Parties to this Agreement intend that the transaction contemplated hereby shall be treated as qualifying as an assets-for-stock exchange "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Code, and each of Purchaser, the Company and the Members shall be treated as a "party to the reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code, and that this Agreement qualify as and this Agreement is intended to be, and is adopted as, a "plan of reorganization" for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code and comply with Revenue Procedure 84-42 of the Internal Revenue Service (such tax treatment, the "Intended Tax Treatment").

6.5 Payment of Excluded Liabilities. After the Closing, the Company agrees to pay in full and discharge all of the Excluded Liabilities (a) in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and in any event, in accordance with their stated terms, if applicable, and (b) in a manner that is not detrimental to any relationships of Purchaser or the Company's business with lessors, employees, contractors, customers, suppliers or others.

6.6 Managed Sales.

(a) For the duration of two (2) trading weeks, being two (2) weeks during which Purchaser Common Stock is actively traded on the NASDAQ or New York Stock Exchange (each, the "Primary Exchange") (any such trading week, a "Trading Week"), the Members shall not, and shall cause any transferee(s) to which any Member transfers shares of Purchaser Common Stock (together with the Members, the "Holders") to not, collectively sell in the aggregate, within any two (2) consecutive Trading Weeks, a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock that exceeds the Set Percentage (as defined below) of the average daily trading volume ("ADTV") from the immediately prior two (2) Trading Weeks. The ADTV shall be calculated based on data reported by the Primary Exchange.

(b) "Set Percentage" means 3% for the first six (6) months after Closing and 5% for the period beginning six (6) months after Closing and ending twelve (12) months after Closing. For example, during the first six months, if the ADTV of Purchaser Common Stock during two (2) consecutive Trading Weeks was 5,000,000 shares, the Holders could collectively sell up to 150,000 shares in the aggregate during the subsequent two-week period. Assuming a month consists of four (4) weeks and assuming the ADTV remained at 5,000,000, the total number of shares the Holders could collectively sell per month could not exceed 300,000 in the aggregate. Similarly, if after the first six (6) months the ADTV of Purchaser's common stock for two (2) consecutive Trading Weeks were 7,000,000 shares, the Holders could collectively sell up to 350,000 shares in the aggregate during the subsequent two-week period with no carryover of unsold amounts.

39

(c) The Members shall appoint a representative (the "Shares Agent Representative") who shall notify Purchaser about the allocation of the amounts available to the Holders under the periodic Set Percentage. After such notification, Purchaser shall inform the Shares Agent Representative if the amount is available for allocation and the remaining amount for the rest of the applicable Trading Weeks. The Members shall enter into an agreement with the Shares Agent Representative (the "Managed Sales Agreement"), which agreement shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and will require each Holder to provide notice to and seek approval from the Shares Agent Representative in the event of any sale by any of the Holders of Purchaser Common Stock.

(d) The rights and obligations set forth in this Section 6.6 will terminate on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date.

(b) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders, representatives, advisors and agents (collectively, the "Seller Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from any of the following (provided that this Section 7.2(b) shall not limit the Purchaser Indemnified Parties' rights or recoveries pursuant to Section 7.2(b)):

(i) any actual or alleged inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in Article 5 of this Agreement or in any schedule, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto; and

(ii) any actual or alleged breach of or default in connection with the failure to perform any of the covenants or agreements made by Purchaser in this Agreement or any schedule, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto.

41

(c) For purposes of this Article 7 (including for purposes of determining whether a representation or warranty is inaccurate or has been breached and the amount of Losses subject to indemnification), the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall be deemed not to be qualified by, and shall be interpreted without giving effect to, any limitations or qualifications as to "materiality" (including the words "material" or "Material Adverse Effect" and other terms of similar import or effect).

7.3 Limitations. The party(ies) making a claim for indemnification under this Article 7 are referred to as the "Indemnified Parties", and the party(ies) against whom such claim is asserted under this Article 7 are referred to as the "Indemnifying Parties." The indemnification provided for in Section 7.2(a) and Section 7.2(b) shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary:

(i) the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Parties to the Indemnified Parties under Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 7.2(b)(i), as the case may be, shall be equal to ten percent (10%) of the value of the Aggregate Initial Consideration (with such value to be determined by reference to the closing price per share of Purchaser Common Stock on the Primary Exchange on the Closing Date), plus the value of any Deferred Consideration that has been delivered by Purchaser as of the date on which Losses are finally determined to be payable, (with such value to be determined by reference to the closing price per share of Purchaser Common Stock on the Primary Exchange on the Closing Date) (the "General Representations Cap"); provided, however, that the limitation set forth in this Section 7.3(a)(i) shall not be applicable to claims for Fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach or misconduct, or claims arising from inaccuracies in or breaches of the Fundamental Representations;

(ii) the maximum liability of the Seller Indemnifying Parties to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties (A) under Section 7.2(a)(i) with respect to the Fundamental Representations, and (B) under Sections 7.2(a)(ii) through 7.2(a)(vi) (in each case, when such Losses are aggregated with all other Losses recovered by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties hereunder) shall not exceed the value of the Aggregate Initial Consideration (with such value to be determined by reference to the closing price per share of Purchaser Common Stock on the Primary Exchange on the Closing Date), plus the value of any Deferred Consideration that has been delivered by Purchaser as of the date on which Losses are finally determined to be payable, (with such value to be determined by reference to the closing price per share of Purchaser Common Stock on the Primary Exchange on the Closing Date) (the "Purchase Price Cap"); provided, however, that the limitation set forth in this Section 7.3(a)(i) shall not be applicable to claims for Fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach or misconduct; and

(iii) except with respect to claims for Fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach or misconduct, the aggregate amount required to be paid by Purchaser to the Seller Indemnified Parties under Section 7.2(a)(ii) shall not exceed the Purchase Price Cap.

42

(iv) the Seller Indemnifying Parties shall not be liable to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under Section 7.2(a)(i) until the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties with respect to all claims of Purchaser Indemnified Parties made under Section 7.2(a)(i) exceeds an accumulated total of $750,000 (the "Threshold Amount"); in which case Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall have the right to recover all such Losses in excess of the Threshold Amount, subject to the other limitations herein.

(b) Following the Closing, this Article 7 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for recovery for Losses from the Indemnifying Parties by the Indemnified Parties for all matters indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Section 7.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Section 7.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall limit or be construed to limit the rights of any Indemnified Party to make or with respect to, or otherwise waive or release, (i) any claims for specific performance or other equitable remedies, (ii) any claims relating to any other agreements contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, any actual or alleged inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any agreement, certificate or instrument delivered to Purchaser by the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, or (iii) any claims relating to Fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach or misconduct.

7.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Notice of Claim. As used herein, (i) the term "Claim" means a claim for indemnification by any Indemnified Party for Losses pursuant to this Article 7, and (ii) the term "Third-Party Claim" means the assertion, whether orally or in writing, against any Indemnified Party of a claim or Proceeding brought by a third party against such Indemnified Party that is based on, arises out of or related to any matter that is or may be indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Section 7.2. Purchaser may assert a Claim, whether for its own Losses or for Losses incurred by any other Purchaser Indemnified Party by giving the Sellers written notice thereof, and the Sellers may assert a Claim for Losses incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party by giving Purchaser written notice thereof (any such notice of any such Claim, whether given by a Purchaser Indemnified Party or the Sellers, a "Notice of Claim"). Each Notice of Claim given pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall contain a description, in reasonable detail, to the extent known to the Indemnified Parties, of the facts, circumstances or events giving rise to such Claim, together with (to the extent in the Indemnified Parties' possession and permitted by applicable law) copies of any formal written demand or complaint from any third party claimant and an estimate of the amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Losses that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. No failure or delay on the part of the Indemnified Parties in giving the Indemnifying Parties a Notice of Claim shall relieve, waive or otherwise release the Indemnifying Parties from any of their obligations under this Article 7 unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Parties are adversely and materially prejudiced thereby in terms of the amount of Losses for which the Indemnifying Parties are obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Parties, and then, only to the extent of such prejudice.

43

(b) Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of Losses which do not result from a Third-Party Claim (a "Direct Claim") shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party a Notice of Claim with respect thereto. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such Notice of Claim to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such thirty (30)-day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim, and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party's investigation by giving such information and assistance (including the right to examine any documents or records exclusively related to such Direct Claim) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30)-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Third-Party Claims. Any Third-Party Claim shall be subject to the following procedures:

(i) Except with respect to any Special Claim (as defined below), Purchaser or the Sellers, as applicable, shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim at their sole cost and expense with reputable legal counsel of their choosing by delivering written notice of such election to the Indemnified Parties within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice of Claim with respect to such Third-Party Claim (unless the claim or Proceeding requires a response before the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period, in which case the Indemnifying Parties shall have until the date that is fifteen (15) days before the required response date) by acknowledging (in writing) responsibility for the entire amount of the Third-Party Claim (without the benefit of the General Representations Cap, Purchase Price Cap or any other limitation under this Article 7; provided, that:

(A) The Indemnifying Parties shall keep the Indemnified Parties informed of all material developments relating to such Third-Party Claim;

(B) The Indemnifying Parties shall provide the Indemnified Parties with copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to such Third-Party Claim;

(C) The Indemnified Parties may retain separate counsel and participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim or settlement negotiations with respect to such Third-Party Claim at their own cost and expense, provided that if the Indemnified Parties reasonably determine, based on the advice of counsel to the Indemnified Parties, that the Indemnified Parties have separate defenses from the Indemnifying Parties or that there is a conflict of interest between any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Parties shall be permitted to retain separate counsel of their own choosing at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties;

(D) So long as the Indemnifying Parties continue to defend the Third-Party Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to settle or compromise such Third-Party Claim without the written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of Purchaser (with respect to any Third-Party Claim for which Purchaser is the Indemnifying Party) or the Sellers (with respect to any Third-Party Claim for which the Seller Indemnifying Parties are the Indemnifying Parties); and

44

(E) The Indemnifying Parties shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise of such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Parties (in the Indemnified Parties' sole discretion), unless (1) such judgment, settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release from all liability with respect to the claim in favor of the Indemnified Parties, (2) the sole relief provided in connection with such judgment, settlement or compromise is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Parties, (3) such judgment, settlement or compromise does not include or require a finding or admission of any wrongdoing, and (4) such judgment, settlement or compromise does not impose any restriction on the Indemnified Parties or any injunctive or equitable relief against any Indemnified Party.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Third-Party Claim for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are the Indemnified Parties, the Sellers shall not be entitled to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim (unless Purchaser agrees otherwise in writing) in the event (any of the following, a "Special Claim"): (A) the Third-Party Claim involves any possibility of criminal liability or any action by any Governmental Authority; (B) the Third-Party Claim involves a customer, client or supplier of Purchaser; (C) the Third-Party Claim seeks injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable relief; (D) the Third-Party Claim involves any Proceeding with respect to Taxes; (E) Losses sought under such Third-Party Claim (together with Losses sought under any other Claims then pending or in dispute) could reasonably be expected to result in Losses to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in excess of the amount that the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are entitled to recover from the Seller Indemnifying Parties (taking into account any limitations on the Seller Indemnifying Parties' indemnification obligations under this Agreement) for such Losses pursuant to this Agreement; or (F) outside legal counsel to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties reasonably determines that the legal counsel chosen by the Seller Indemnifying Parties has a conflict of interest in representing the interests of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties.

(iii) In the event that the Indemnifying Parties do not assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 7.4(c)(i) or are not entitled to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim because it is a Special Claim described in Section 7.4(c)(ii), then the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to contest, consent to entry of any judgment, settle or compromise through counsel of their own choosing, the Third-Party Claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties.

(iv) The Indemnifying Parties and the Indemnified Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including by (A) furnishing copies of documents, records or other information reasonably requested by the other party, and (B) providing reasonable access to employees whose assistance, testimony or presence is reasonably necessary to assist in the evaluation and defense of such Third-Party Claim (provided that any such access shall not unreasonably interfere with the business activities of either party).

45

7.5 Losses.

(a) Any Losses due to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 7 shall be paid as follows (in each case, subject to the terms and limitations set forth herein):

(i) with respect to any Losses for which a Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under Section 7.2(a)(i) (in each case, other than with respect to any Fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach or misconduct, or inaccuracy in or breach of any Fundamental Representations), any and all payments in respect of such Losses shall not exceed the General Representations Cap and shall be paid by the applicable Seller Indemnifying Parties;

(ii) with respect to any Losses for which a Seller Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under Section 7.2(b)(i) (in each case, other than with respect to any Fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach or misconduct), any and all payments in respect of such Losses shall not exceed the General Representations Cap and shall be paid by Purchaser; and

(iii) with respect to any Losses for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under Section 7.2(a)(ii) through 7.2(a)(vi) or Section 7.2(b)(ii), any and all payments in respect of such Losses shall be paid by the applicable Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties.

(b) Payment of Losses.

(i) Any Losses owed or payable by the Seller Indemnifying Parties to a Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be paid and discharged by the forfeiture of an amount of Purchaser Common Stock equal in value to the amount of Losses owed within five (5) business days after such amounts are finally determined to be due and payable to a Purchaser Indemnified Party. If the amount of Losses payable to a Purchaser Indemnified Party exceeds the value of the Purchaser Common Stock held by the Members, such Losses shall be further paid in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Purchaser within five (5) business days after such amounts are finally determined to be due and payable to a Purchaser Indemnified Party. Purchaser is hereby authorized and directed to take such actions in order to implement any such forfeiture and/or relinquishment as and when payable hereunder. Any Indemnified Party shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to effect the foregoing.

(ii) Any Losses owed or payable by Purchaser to a Seller Indemnified Party shall be paid and discharged, at Purchaser's sole discretion, by either (A) the delivery of Purchaser Common Stock equal in value to the amount of Losses owed to Purchaser's transfer agent (for the benefit of the Seller Indemnified Party and issued in such Seller Indemnified Party's name in book-entry form) within five (5) business days after such amounts are finally determined to be due and payable to the Seller Indemnified Party or (B) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Seller Indemnified Party within five (5) business days after such amounts are finally determined to be due and payable to the Seller Indemnified Party. Any Indemnified Party shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to effect the foregoing.

46

(iii) Where any amount has been determined to be payable to an Indemnified Party in respect of a claim, the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock to be delivered or subject to forfeiture shall equal the quotient of the aggregate value of the claim divided by the value per share (determined based on the 30-day volume-weighted average price of Purchaser Common Stock during the thirty (30) days prior to the date Losses are finally determined to be due and payable).

(iv) The amount of any Losses payable to an Indemnified Party shall be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Party in connection with a Claim or Third-Party Claim.

(c) Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, by reduction of the Deferred Consideration, shall be treated by Purchaser, the Sellers and their respective Affiliates, to the maximum extent permitted by law, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes.

7.6 No Circular Recovery. The Sellers hereby waive, and acknowledge and agree that Sellers shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or advancement of expenses or other right or remedy against Purchaser or any other Purchaser Indemnified Party in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which such Person may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument delivered to Purchaser in connection herewith or therewith.

1

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree that the Prior Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety as set forth herein, and the Parties further agree as follows:


1. Grant of Source Code and Support and Maintenance Options; Manner of Exercise.

(a) Source Code Option and Purchase Agreement. Perception hereby grants to Grantee the irrevocable right and option to enter into a Purchase Agreement with Perception and thereby to obtain, on the terms set forth in the Purchase Agreement (i) a copy of the Source Code for the Software, and (ii) an irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual right and license to forever retain, copy, reproduce, modify, use, create Modifications and derivative works of, display, distribute, perform, compile, execute, sublicense, and otherwise exploit the Source Code and all resulting compiled software for commercial exploitation and commercialize the Source Code, subject to the terms and limitations stipulated in a Purchase Agreement (the "Source Code Option"). Such terms and limitations shall include: (x) the establishment of a special-purpose entity ("SPE") as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grantee and whose sole business activity shall be to hold the Source Code and the license in relation to the Source Code; (y) except as contemplated and permitted by this Agreement, a prohibition on Grantee's sub-license of the use of the Source Code without Perception's prior written consent; and (z) commercial reasonably terms governing the future sale or transfer of the SPE or sale or sublicensing of the intellectual property, including Perception's interest in a share of the profits derived therefrom. "Modification" means any modifications, changes, revisions, enhancements, corrections of defects, fixes, workarounds, improvements, upgrades, new releases, or changes in functionality to the Source Code made after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, whether or not issued in a formal update, upgrade, or release.

The Purchase Agreement shall provide for payments (collectively, the "Purchase Price") from Grantee to Perception as follows:

i.
Due on the Activation Date (as that term is defined below): $7,000,000.00
ii.
Due on the one (1) year anniversary of the Activation Date: $5,000,000.00
iii.
Due on the two (2) year anniversary of the Activation Date: $5,000,000.00
iv.
Due on the three (3) year anniversary of the Activation Date: $500,000.00

The Purchase Agreement shall further provide that permanent ownership of a then-current copy of the Source Code for the Software, pursuant to the terms and limitations of the Purchase Agreement, shall be assigned to Grantee following the receipt by Perception of the full Purchase Price.

2

The Purchase Agreement shall provide that, should the Parties for any reasons not execute the Support and Maintenance Agreement, Grantee shall retain a perpetual option to purchase any future version of the Source Code at a price to be defined in the Purchase Agreement.

The Source Code Option has a term commencing on the Effective Date of this Agreement and ending on July 31, 2024.

(b) Support and Maintenance Option. Perception hereby grants to Grantee the irrevocable right and option to enter into a Support and Maintenance Agreement with Perception and thereby to obtain, on the terms set forth in such Support and Maintenance Agreement, services from Perception ("Services") that will assist Grantee in commercializing the Source Code to develop, launch, and grow the Platform (the "Support and Maintenance Option" and, together with the Source Code Option, the "Options").

Such Services shall include, without limitation:

[***].

The Support and Maintenance Agreement shall provide that Grantee [***].

The Support and Maintenance Agreement shall further provide for [***] payments from Grantee to Perception in an amount equal to [***] which shall be set forth in the Support and Maintenance Agreement based on commercial terms already provided by Perception.

The initial term of the Support and Maintenance Agreement shall be [***], provided, however, that the Support and Maintenance Agreement shall be terminable following the uncured material breach by either Party, including if Perception loses the services of certain key personnel, to be specified in such Support and Maintenance Agreement, such that Perception is no longer able to satisfy its obligations thereunder.

In order to protect the legitimate business interests of Perception, the Support and Maintenance Agreement shall further require Grantee to covenant with Perception that, for the duration of the initial term of such Support and Maintenance Agreement, Grantee and its Affiliates agree not to, without Perception's written consent, directly or indirectly solicit, or attempt to solicit, or engage or otherwise facilitate the employment or engagement of any Restricted Person.

The Support and Maintenance Option has a term commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending on July 31, 2024. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Support and Maintenance Option may only be exercised if the Source Code Option is exercised.

3

(c) Timing and Manner of Exercise. Grantee may exercise the Options by providing to Perception a timely notice of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a "Notice of Exercise"). To be timely, a Notice of Exercise must be delivered to Perception no later than July 31, 2024. In order to facilitate prompt execution of the Option(s), the Parties agree to negotiate and draft execution versions of the Purchase Agreement and Support and Maintenance Agreement as soon as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Perception and Grantee (on the basis of their full and complete discretion) have not mutually agreed on the provisions of execution versions of both the Purchase Agreement and Support and Maintenance Agreement within such thirty-day period, and confirmed such agreement in writing, the Options shall expire on the last day of such period (unless extended by mutual written agreement of the Parties). Subject to the previous sentence, immediately following Perception's receipt of a timely Notice of Exercise, the Parties shall execute a Purchase Agreement and, as applicable, a Support and Maintenance Agreement. Prior to executing the Source Code Option, Grantee may request, and Perception shall provide, to a commercially reasonable extent and subject to appropriate confidentiality protections, access by Grantee to the Source Code solely for the purpose of confirming the accuracy and completeness of the Specifications. On the date on which the closing of the transactions contemplated by that certain Asset Purchase Agreement between TMTG, Grantee, WorldConnect IPTV Solutions, LLC, and JedTec, L.L.C, dated as of the date hereof, take place, and TMTG acquires substantially all of the assets of Grantee, including Grantee's rights and obligations under this Agreement. (such date, the "Activation Date"), Perception shall deposit a current version of the Source Code for the Software, and Grantee shall deposit $7,000,000, with an escrow agent reasonably agreed by the Parties (the "Escrow Agent") pursuant to an escrow agreement executed by each of the Parties and the Escrow Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to each of the Parties (the "Escrow Agreement"). None of the Parties shall unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the Escrow Agreement, which shall provide for release of the $7,000,000 to Perception within three (3) Business Days following the Activation Date and for the release of the Source Code to Grantee within three (3) Business Days following the Grantee's payment in full of the Purchase Price. Prior to the release of the Source Code, Perception will provide an updated version of the Source Code to the Escrow Agent. The Purchase Agreement shall address Grantee's access to the Source Code, if any, during the period in which the Source Code is in escrow pursuant to the foregoing.


2. Asset Purchase Option.

(a) Perception hereby grants to Grantee an irrevocable right and option to purchase the assets of Perception ("Asset Purchase Option") exercisable at any time prior to the second anniversary of the Activation Date (the "Option Term") at a price determined by an equitable valuation of Perception which is acceptable to the Parties.

(b) If Grantee elects to exercise the Asset Purchase Option, Grantee shall give Perception a written notice (a "Valuation Notice") during the Option Term, identifying a proposed purchase price for Perception's assets (the "Grantee-Proposed Asset Purchase Price") and Perception shall then provide to Grantee, within [***] as of receipt of the Valuation Notice, a written notice identifying Perception's proposed purchase price for Perception's assets (the "Perception-Proposed Asset Purchase Price").

(c) Upon receipt of Valuation Notice, Perception shall have [***] to accept or reject the Grantee-Proposed Asset Purchase Price, or, in its discretion, ask Grantee to identify a valuation expert it proposes to conduct the valuation. Perception and Grantee may decide to prolong the initial [***] for a further [***] to conduct negotiations in relation to the Grantee-Proposed Asset Purchase Price, following which Grantee shall have the possibility to increase the Grantee-Proposed Asset Purchase Price and Perception shall then have [***] days to accept or reject the amended Grantee-Proposed Asset Purchase Price.

4

(d) If Parties do not reach an agreement in relation to the Purchase Price, Perception may ask Grantee to identify a valuation expert it proposes to conduct the valuation. If the Grantee's proposed valuation expert is acceptable to Perception, the Parties shall jointly retain that expert to perform the valuation. If the Grantee's proposed valuation expert is not acceptable to Perception, Perception shall propose a different valuation expert. If Perception's proposed valuation expert is acceptable to Grantee, the Parties shall jointly retain that expert to perform the valuation. If the Parties do not agree on a mutually acceptable valuation expert within [***] following the date of a Valuation Notice, then either Party may require that an independent valuation expert (i.e., an expert having had no prior material business relationship with either Party for the prior [***]) ("Independent Expert") be appointed to serve as the valuation expert by the New York City Office of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the then-existing Expedited Procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA. The Independent Expert shall have past experience in producing market comparison valuations of assets directly comparable to assets to Perception.

(e) Once a valuation expert has been selected, the Parties shall provide to the valuation expert all information reasonably requested by the valuation expert and shall instruct the valuation expert to deliver to the Parties its written conclusion of value of Perception's assets on a cash-free, debt-free basis within [***] of its appointment.

(f) The valuation of Perception's assets by the valuation expert shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties and shall establish the purchase price for Perception's assets ("the Valuation Expert Asset Purchase Price"), except in the situation where Party's respective proposed purchase prices deviate by more than [***] from that Party's proposed purchase price. In that case such Party may withdraw from the Asset Purchase Option.

(g) If Grantee desires to exercise the Asset Purchase Option at the Grantee-Proposed Asset Purchase Price as accepted by Perception, or the Valuation Expert Asset Purchase Price as determined by the valuation expert, Grantee shall give Perception written notice ("Purchase Notice") within [***] following Grantee's receipt of Perception's written acceptance of the Grantee-Proposed Asset Purchase Price or the valuation expert's written conclusion of value. The Purchase Notice shall specify a date for the closing of the sale and purchase of Perception's assets, which date shall be not more than [***] following the date of the Exercise Notice.


3. Grant of Right of First Refusal.

(a) In the event that Perception receives a bona fide written offer from an unaffiliated third party (an "Offeror") for the purchase of all or substantially all of any of the Perception Entities' assets or majority (i.e. more than 50%) of any of the equity interests in the Perception Entities, which Perception desires to accept (an "Offer") then, Grantee shall have a right of first refusal to purchase, exercisable within [***] of its receipt of the Offer, all such assets or equity interests at the price and on the terms set forth in the Offer (the "ROFR"). The ROFR shall have a term commencing on the Activation Date and shall expire on the second anniversary of the Activation Date.

5

(b) Upon receipt of an Offer, prior to any transfer of the assets or equity interests to the Offeror, Perception shall give Grantee written notice (an "Offer Notice") containing each of the following:

(i) [***];

(ii) [***]; and

(iii) Perception's offer (a "Perception Offer") to sell the assets or equity interests in question to Grantee for a price and on the terms contained in the Offer (the "ROFR Purchase Price").

(c) A Perception Offer shall be and remain irrevocable for a period (the "Offer Period") [***] following the date the Perception Offer is given to Grantee. At any time during the Offer Period, Grantee may accept the Perception Offer by giving written notice to Perception of its acceptance (a "ROFR Acceptance Notice"). If Grantee accepts the Perception Offer, the ROFR Acceptance Notice shall fix a closing date for the purchase, which shall not be earlier than [***] after the expiration of the Offer Period.

(d) If Grantee rejects the Perception Offer or fails to accept the Perception Offer (within the time and in the manner specified in this Section), then Perception shall be free for a period (the "Free Transfer Period") [***] after the expiration of the Offer Period to transfer the assets or equity interests in question to the Offeror, for the same price and on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Offer. If Perception does not transfer the assets or equity interests in question to the Offeror within the Free Transfer Period, Perception's right to transfer such assets or equity interests to the Offeror pursuant to this Section shall cease and terminate and any new offer received by Perception shall be subject to the ROFR in accordance with the provisions of this Section.

(e) Any transfer by Perception of such assets or equity interests after the last day of the Free Transfer Period or without strict compliance with the terms, provisions, and conditions of this Section and the other terms, provisions, and conditions of this Agreement, shall be null and void and of no force or effect.


4. Purchase of Perception Assets or Equity Interests

(a) The sale and purchase of assets or equity interests pursuant to Section 2 above shall be on a cash-free, debt-free basis, free of any liens or encumbrances. The sale and purchase of assets or equity interests pursuant to Section 3 above shall be made at the price and on the terms set forth in the Offer.

(b) The agreement for the sale and purchase of Perception's assets will provide for the Parties to make typical representations, warranties and covenants to each other, including, without limitation, as to organization, qualification and good standing of the parties; equity and debt capitalization; due authorization; enforceability; obtaining third-party consents or approvals; ownership of intellectual property; absence of liens or encumbrances; absence of litigation; compliance with laws and regulations; absence of conflicts with other agreements to which Perception is a party; employee relations; payment of taxes; confidentiality; non-solicitation and non-competition; and indemnification for breach of representations and warranties.

6

(c) [***] of the applicable purchase price shall be held in escrow, at Grantee's costs, for one year following the date for the closing of the sale and purchase of Perception's assets to satisfy any indemnification obligations of Perception under the asset purchase agreement.

(d) Grantee shall pay the applicable purchase price in immediately available funds on the date for the closing of the sale and purchase of Perception's assets.


5. Non-Competition

In order to protect the legitimate business interests of Grantee, for a period of five (5) years from the Activation Date, Perception hereby covenants and agree not to use or permit others for any purpose that competes, in the United States, with the Platform or Grantee's commercialization of the Source Code as contemplated by this Agreement and further specified in the Purchase Agreement.

Notwithstanding the above, Perception shall for the territory of the United States retain the right to propose new business opportunities that involve the use of the infrastructure and software acquired under this Agreement for delivery in the US. In the event of such a proposal, the Grantee shall have the right to review and assess whether the proposed business opportunity directly competes with the interests of the Grantee.

In relation to the above, if the Grantee determines, in its sole discretion, that the proposed business opportunity is directly competitive, the Grantee may exercise a written veto right, preventing Perception from pursuing such opportunity independently. In the event of a veto, the Parties agree to further negotiate in good faith the terms, if any, under which the proposed business opportunity may be pursued to the mutual benefit of the Parties.

If the Grantee does not exercise its veto right within thirty (30) Business Days of receiving the proposal, Perception may proceed with the proposed business opportunity under an arrangement whereby Perception would receive 40% of the revenues and Grantee would receive 60% of the revenues in consideration of the use of the Source Code and server infrastructure.

The non-competition obligation under this Section 5 shall terminate if the Options expire unexecuted by Grantee or if the Support and Maintenance Agreement expires or is terminated in accordance with its terms.


6. Assignment.

Neither Party may sell, transfer or assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that Grantee shall have the right to assign its rights, options and obligations under this Agreement to WCTN, TMTG or any Affiliate of TMTG, WCTN, or the SPE (each, a "Permitted Assignee"), and that each Permitted Assignee shall have the right to assign its rights, options and obligations under the Agreement to any other Permitted Assignee, without the prior written consent of Perception. In the event of such sale, transfer or assignment, the Permitted Assignee shall be deemed the Grantee hereunder and shall assume all of the rights, options obligations of Grantee under this Agreement. Grantee may not sell, transfer, assign or sublicense the Source Code acquired by Grantee to any person or entity other than a Permitted Assignee without the prior written consent of Perception. Grantee may not sell, transfer, or assign an ownership interest in the SPE to any person or entity other than a Permitted Assignee without the prior written consent of Perception.

7

7. Confidentiality.

From time to time during the term of this Agreement, either Party (as the "Discloser") may disclose or make available to the other Party (as the "Recipient") information about its business affairs, products, services, confidential intellectual property, trade secrets, third-party confidential information and other sensitive or proprietary information, whether orally or in visual, written, electronic, or other form or media, and whether or not marked, designated, or otherwise identified as "confidential" (collectively, "Confidential Information").

(i)
Ownership Limitation; Commitment Amount. At the request of the Company, the Investor shall inform the Company of the number of shares the Investor beneficially owns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Investor shall not be obligated to purchase or acquire, and shall not purchase or acquire, any Common Shares under this Agreement which, when aggregated with all other Common Shares beneficially owned by the Investor and its Affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor and its Affiliates (on an aggregated basis) to exceed 4.99% of the then outstanding voting power or number of Common Shares (the "Ownership Limitation"). Upon the written request of the Investor, the Company shall promptly (but no later than the next business day on which the transfer agent for the Common Shares is open for business) confirm orally or in writing to the Investor the number of Common Shares then outstanding. In connection with each Advance Notice delivered by the Company, any portion of the Advance that would (i) cause the Investor to exceed the Ownership Limitation or (ii) cause the aggregate number of Shares issued and sold to the Investor hereunder to exceed the Commitment Amount shall automatically be withdrawn with no further action required by the Company, and such Advance Notice shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce the number of Advance Shares requested by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion; provided that in the event of any such automatic withdrawal and automatic modification, the Investor will promptly notify the Company of such event.
- 7 -

(ii)
Registration Limitation. In no event shall an Advance exceed the amount of Common Shares registered in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby under the Registration Statement then in effect (the "Registration Limitation"). In connection with each Advance Notice, any portion of an Advance that would exceed the Registration Limitation shall automatically be withdrawn with no further action required by the Company and such Advance Notice shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce the aggregate amount of the requested Advance by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion; provided that in the event of any such automatic withdrawal and automatic modification, the Investor will promptly notify the Company of such event.

(iii)
Compliance with Rules of Principal Market. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,the Company shall not effect any sales under this Agreement and the Investor shall not have the obligation to purchase Common Shares under this Agreement to the extent (but only to the extent) that after giving effect to such purchase and sale, the aggregate number of Common Shares issued under this Agreement would exceed the number of shares representing 19.99% of the aggregate amount of Common Shares issued and outstanding as of the date of this Agreement, i.e., 37,969,380, calculated in accordance with the rules of the Principal Market, which number shall be reduced, on a share-for-share basis, by the number of Common Shares issued or issuable pursuant to any transaction or series of transactions that may be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the applicable rules of the Principal Market (such maximum number of shares, the "Exchange Cap") provided that, the Exchange Cap will not apply if (a) the Company's stockholders have approved issuances in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with the rules of the Principal Market, or (b) the Average Price of all applicable sales of Common Shares hereunder (including any sales covered by an Advance Notice that has been delivered prior to the determination of whether this clause (b) applies) equals or exceed $31.73 per share (which represents the lower of (i) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) immediately preceding the Effective Date; or (ii) the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price for the five Trading Days immediately preceding the Effective Date). In connection with each Advance Notice, any portion of an Advance that would exceed the Exchange Cap shall automatically be withdrawn with no further action required by the Company and such Advance Notice shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce the aggregate amount of the requested Advance by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion in respect of each Advance Notice.

(e)
Minimum Acceptable Price.

(i)
With respect to each Advance Notice, the Company may notify the Investor of the MAP with respect to such Advance by indicating a MAP on such Advance Notice. If no MAP is specified in an Advance Notice, then no MAP shall be in effect in connection with such Advance. Each Trading Day during a Pricing Period for which (A) with respect to each Advance Notice with a MAP, the VWAP of the Common Shares is below the MAP in effect with respect to such Advance Notice, or (B) there is no VWAP (each such day, an "Excluded Day"), shall result in an automatic reduction to the number of Advance Shares set forth in such Advance Notice by one third (33%) (the resulting amount of each Advance being the "Adjusted Advance Amount"), and each Excluded Day shall be excluded from the Pricing Period for purposes of determining the Market Price.

(ii)
The total Advance Shares in respect of each Advance with any Excluded Day(s) (after reductions have been made to arrive at the Adjusted Advance Amount) shall be increased by such number of Common Shares (the "Additional Shares") equal to greater of (a) the number of Common Shares sold by the Investor on such Excluded Day(s), if any, or (b) such number of Common Shares elected to be subscribed for by the Investor, and the subscription price per share for each Additional Share shall be equal to the MAP in effect with respect to such Advance Notice multiplied by 97.25%, provided that this increase shall not cause the total Advance Shares to exceed the amount set forth in the original Advance Notice or any limitations set forth in Section 2.01(c).

(f)
Unconditional Contract. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Company and the Investor acknowledge and agree that upon the Investor's receipt of a valid Advance Notice from the Company the parties shall be deemed to have entered into an unconditional contract binding on both parties for the purchase and sale of Advance Shares pursuant to such Advance Notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (i) subject to Applicable Laws and (ii) subject to Section 3.08, the Investor may sell Common Shares during the Pricing Period.
Section 2.02 Closings. The closing of each Advance and each sale and purchase of Advance Shares (each, a "Closing") shall take place as soon as practicable on or after each Advance Date in accordance with the procedures set forth below. The parties acknowledge that the Purchase Price is not known at the time the Advance Notice is delivered (at which time the Investor is irrevocably bound) but shall be determined on each Closing based on the daily prices of the Common Shares that are the inputs to the determination of the Purchase Price as set forth further below. In connection with each Closing, the Company and the Investor shall fulfill each of its obligations as set forth below:

(a)
On each Advance Date, the Investor shall deliver to the Company a written document, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (each a "Settlement Document"), setting forth the final number of Shares to be purchased by the Investor (taking into account any adjustments pursuant to Section 2.01), the Market Price, the Purchase Price, the aggregate proceeds to be paid by the Investor to the Company, and a report by Bloomberg, L.P. indicating the VWAP for each of the Trading Days during the Pricing Period (or, if not reported on Bloomberg, L.P., another reporting service reasonably agreed to by the parties), in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(c)
On or prior to the Advance Date, each of the Company and the Investor shall deliver to the other all documents, instruments and writings expressly required to be delivered by either of them pursuant to this Agreement in order to implement and effect the transactions contemplated herein.

(d)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if on any day during the Pricing Period (i) the Company notifies Investor that a Material Outside Event has occurred, or (ii) the Company notifies the Investor of a Black Out Period, the parties agree that the pending Advance shall end and the final number of Advance Shares to be purchased by the Investor at the Closing for such Advance shall be equal to the number of Common Shares sold by the Investor during the applicable Pricing Period prior to the notification from the Company of a Material Outside Event or Black Out Period.

(e)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the Investor purchase (or be deemed to have purchased), pursuant to any Advance Notice, a number of shares of Common Stock constituting the applicable Advance Shares that exceeds the Advance Share Estimate issued in connection with such Advance Notice; however, the Investor will promptly instruct the transfer agent to return to the Company any Shares issued pursuant to the Advance Share Estimate that exceeds the number of Shares constituting the applicable Advance Share Amount the Investor actually purchases in connection with such Advance Notice (such amount, the "Excess Shares"). Alternatively, if the Transfer Agent does not return the Excess Shares to the Company in accordance with the Investor's instructions, or if otherwise instructed in writing by the Company, Investor may retain such Excess Shares (provided Investor will not be deemed to have purchased such Excess Shares), and such Excess Shares will be deemed pre-delivered Shares that will reduce the number of Shares required to be delivered by the Company in accordance with this section on the next Advance Notice Date in connection with the next Advance Notice; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right, upon delivery of written notice to the Investor at any time, to request that the Investor return all or a portion of such Excess Shares to the Company.
Section 2.03 Hardship. In the event the Investor sells Common Shares after receipt of an Advance Notice and the Company fails to perform its obligations as mandated in Section 2.02, the Company agrees that in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and obligations set forth in Article V hereto and in addition to any other remedy to which the Investor is entitled at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance, it will hold the Investor harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Company and acknowledges that irreparable damage may occur in the event of any such default. It is accordingly agreed that the Investor shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent such breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce (subject to Applicable Laws and the rules of the Principal Market), without the posting of a bond or other security, the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
- 10 -
Section 2.04 Completion of Resale Pursuant to the Registration Statement. After the Investor has purchased the full Commitment Amount and has completed the subsequent resale of the full Commitment Amount pursuant to the Registration Statement, Investor will notify the Company in writing (which may be by e-mail) that all subsequent resales are completed and the Company will be under no further obligation to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the actual and reasonable third party fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee which relates to such action or claim.

No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The indemnification required by this Article V shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received and payment therefor is due.
Section 5.04 Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Article V are not exclusive and shall not limit any right or remedy which may be available to any indemnified person at law or equity. The obligations of the parties to indemnify or make contribution under this Article V shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.
Section 5.05 Limitation of liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party shall be entitled to recover from the other party for punitive, indirect, incidental or consequential damages.

2.1 Demand Registration.

Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.1.4 and Section 2.4 hereof, at any time and from time to time on or after the date the Company closed the Transaction, each Holder (the "Demanding Holders") may make a written demand for Registration of all or part of their Registrable Securities, which written demand shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such Registration and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof (such written demand, a "Demand Registration"). The Company shall, within five (5) days of the Company's receipt of the Demand Registration, notify, in writing, all other Holders of Registrable Securities of such demand, and each Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration (each such Holder that includes all or a portion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in such Registration, a "Requesting Holder") shall so notify the Company, in writing, within ten (10) days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. Upon receipt by the Company of any such written notification from a Requesting Holder(s) to the Company, such Requesting Holder(s) shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration and the Company shall, subject to Section 3.4 hereof, effect within fifteen (15) days immediately after the Company's receipt of the Demand Registration, the Registration of all Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders pursuant to such Demand Registration. Under no circumstances shall the Company be obligated to effect more than an aggregate of three (3) Registrations pursuant to a Demand Registration under this subsection 2.1.1 with respect to any or all Registrable Securities; provided, however, that a Registration shall not be counted for such purposes unless a Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration statement that may be available at such time ("Form S-1") has become effective and all of the Registrable Securities requested by the Requesting Holders to be registered on behalf of the Requesting Holders in such Form S-1 Registration have been sold, in accordance with Section 3.1 of this Agreement.
2.1.2 Effective Registration. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 2.1.1 above or any other part of this Agreement, a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration shall not count as a Registration unless and until (i) the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration has been declared effective by the Commission and (ii) the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, further, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, an offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration is subsequently interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission, federal or state court or any other governmental agency, the Registration Statement with respect to such Registration shall be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (a) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (b) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Demand Registration thereafter affirmatively elect to continue with such Registration and accordingly notify the Company in writing, but in no event later than five (5) days, of such election; and provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated or required to file another Registration Statement until the Registration Statement that has been previously filed with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration becomes effective or is subsequently terminated.

2.1.3 Demand Registration Withdrawal. A majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating a Demand Registration or a majority-in-interest of the Requesting Holders (if any), pursuant to a Registration under subsection 2.1.1 shall have the right to withdraw from a Registration pursuant to such Demand Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to the Registration of their Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration.

2.2 Piggyback Registration.

2.2.1 Piggyback Rights. If, at any time on or after the date the Company consummates the Transaction, the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, for its own account or for the account of stockholders of the Company (or by the Company and by the stockholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof), other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company's existing stockholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement, which notice shall (a) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (b) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice (such Registration, a "Piggyback Registration"). The Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this subsection 2.2.1 to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.2.1 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company.
2.2.2 Reduction of Piggyback Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration that is to be a Piggyback Registration, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of the shares of Common Stock that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (ii) the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 hereof, and (iii) the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

(a) If the Registration is undertaken for the Company's account, the Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first, the Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 hereof, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Piggyback Registration and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested be included in such Piggyback Registration, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;
(b) If the Registration is pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first, the Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Piggyback Registration and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested be included in such Piggyback Registration, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the Common Stock or other equity securities for the account of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.2.3 Piggyback Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement.

2.2.4 Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.1 hereof.

2.3 Registrations on Form S-3. Any Holder of Registrable Securities may at any time, and from time to time, request in writing that the Company, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), register the resale of any or all of their Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or any similar short form registration statement that may be available at such time ("Form S-3"); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect such request through an Underwritten Offering. Within five (5) days of the Company's receipt of a written request from a Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities for a Registration on Form S-3, the Company shall promptly give written notice of the proposed Registration on Form S-3 to all other Holders of Registrable Securities, and each Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in such Registration on Form S-3 shall so notify the Company, in writing, within ten (10) days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. As soon as practicable thereafter, but not more than twelve (12) days after the Company's initial receipt of such written request for a Registration on Form S-3, the Company shall register all or such portion of such Holder's Registrable Securities as are specified in such written request, together with all or such portion of Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in the written notification given by such Holder or Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such Registration pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof if (i) a Form S-3 is not available for such offering; or (ii) the Holders of Registrable Securities, together with the Holders of any other equity securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such Registration, propose to sell the Registrable Securities and such other equity securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public of less than $10,000,000.
2.4 Restrictions on Registration Rights. If (i) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company's good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date of, a Company initiated Registration and provided that the Company has delivered written notice to the Holders prior to receipt of a Demand Registration pursuant to subsection 2.1.1 and it continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Registration Statement to become effective, or (ii) in the good faith judgment of the Board such Registration would be seriously detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement at such time, then in each case the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company for such Registration Statement to be filed in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement. In such event, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than thirty (30) days; provided, however, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any 12-month period.

ARTICLE III

COMPANY PROCEDURES

3.1 General Procedures. If at any time the Company is required to effect the Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, the Company shall use its best efforts to effect such Registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended plan of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:

3.1.1 prepare and file with the Commission as soon as practicable a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold;

3.1.2 prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement, and such supplements to the Prospectus, as may be requested by any Holder or any Underwriter of Registrable Securities or as may be required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company or by the Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder to keep the Registration Statement effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement are sold in accordance with the intended plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;
3.1.3 prior to filing a Registration Statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the Underwriters, if any, and each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration, and each such Holder's legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus), and such other documents as the Underwriters and each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration or the legal counsel for any such Holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holders;

3.1.4 prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as any Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise so subject;

3.1.5 cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

3.1.6 provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities no later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;

3.1.7 advise each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued;

3.1.8 notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof; and

3.1.9 otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection with such Registration.
3.2 Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company; provided however, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Company and each Holder shall be responsible for the expenses of their advisors, including their legal counsel. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters' commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

3.3 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until he, she or it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until he, she or it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are not yet audited or otherwise unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company's control, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than thirty (30) days, determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4.

3.4 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of the Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

4.1 Indemnification.

4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys' fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.

4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.
4.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person's right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company's or such Holder's indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party's and indemnified party's relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

TMTG Secures Perpetual Licensing for New Technology in Truth Social TV Streaming
and Signs Long-Term Equity Deal

SARASOTA, Fla., July 3, 2024 - Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (Nasdaq: DJT) ("TMTG" or the "Company"), operator of the social media platform Truth Social, yet another of President Donald J. Trump's iconic American brands, announced today that it signed an agreement to acquire assets intended to power TMTG's planned content distribution network for streaming of linear TV-initially via the Truth Social platform and later through stand-alone apps. Additionally, the Company finalized a long-term equity financing arrangement to fund TMTG's expansion over the next three years.

To advance TV streaming, and contingent on the satisfaction of closing conditions, TMTG expects to receive from Perception Group, Inc. and its affiliates ("Perception") worldwide non-exclusive perpetual licensing rights for the new CDN technology that TMTG plans to use for its content distribution network. Additionally, Perception will face certain restrictions for five years on operating in the U.S. market in areas that may compete with TMTG. The agreement also includes a contingent opportunity for TMTG to purchase Perception outright in the future.

"We are committed to creating value for our stockholders by following our stated growth strategy of pursuing strategic opportunities, expanding Truth Social's user base, and increasing product offerings and services," said TMTG CEO Devin Nunes. "We are rapidly pushing forward with our plans to launch a high-quality streaming service that we believe cannot be cancelled by Big Tech. We believe this agreement will enable us to build a superior tech stack to support a cutting-edge streaming service. It's a major step in fulfilling our mission to strengthen free expression and end Big Tech's stranglehold on digital communication."

TMTG's streaming service is designed to host news shows and networks, religious channels, and additional family-friendly content that has been cancelled or is at risk of cancellation. The technology acquisition announced today will be financed at closing through TMTG's issuance of up to 5,100,000 shares of its common stock, which shares shall be subject to certain trading restrictions, and $17.5 million that are expected to be paid over a period of three years.

Furthermore, in furtherance of TMTG's growth strategy, the Company has secured an important financing option by entering into a standby equity purchase agreement ("SEPA") with YA II PN, Ltd., an investment fund managed by Yorkville Advisors ("Yorkville"). Subject to certain customary conditions, the agreement grants TMTG the option, at its sole discretion, to issue up to $2.5 billion in shares of common stock to Yorkville over three years. The per share subscription price Yorkville will pay for the shares will be a 2.75% discount to the Market Price (as that term is defined in the SEPA) during a one- or three-day pricing period elected by the Company. TMTG intends to use the SEPA strategically to raise and deploy capital, using as little or as much of the SEPA amount as circumstances warrant, when market conditions and business opportunities justify doing so.
"TMTG has over $350 million in the bank and the iconic Trump brand," said Nunes. "Now, we've secured a great deal to guarantee access to additional capital, if necessary, to pursue big strategic opportunities as we look to build out our portfolio by acquiring assets and technologies in the Patriot economy."

The securities described herein have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. A registration statement relating to securities to be issued under the SEPA has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.

About TMTG

The mission of TMTG is to end Big Tech's assault on free speech by opening up the Internet and giving people their voices back. TMTG operates Truth Social, a social media platform established as a safe harbor for free expression amid increasingly harsh censorship by Big Tech corporations.
