As
described below, on December 21, 2022, the stockholders of Group Nine Acquisition Corp. (“GNAC” or the “Company”)
approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to provide, among other things, that if
the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination (as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation) by December 21, 2022, the Company shall (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly
as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem (the “Redemption”)
100% of the Company’s public shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing
(A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Company’s trust account, including interest not previously released to the Company
to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then issued and outstanding
public shares of the Company, which Redemption will completely extinguish rights of the Company’s public stockholders (including
the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible
following such Redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance
with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under the Delaware General Corporation
Law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. On December 21, 2022, the Company requested that
Nasdaq file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Form 25 Notification of Removal from Listing and/or
Registration (“Form 25”) to delist and deregister the Company’s shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per
share (“Class A Common Stock”), redeemable warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Redeemable Warrants”)
and units, each unit consisting of one share of Class A Common Stock and one-third of one Redeemable Warrant (the units, together with
the Class A Common Stock and the Redeemable Warrants, the “Securities”) under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As a result, the Securities will no longer be listed on Nasdaq. Nasdaq filed
a Form 25 with the SEC on December 21, 2022, upon which the delisting of the Company’s Securities became effective. The Company
intends to file a Form 15 Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration with the SEC, requesting that the Company’s reporting
obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be terminated with respect to the Securities

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
At
a special meeting of stockholders of Group Nine Acquisition Corp. held on December 21, 2022 (the “Special Meeting”), the
following proposals were considered and acted upon by the stockholders of the Company: (1) a proposal to amend the Company’s Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) to (A) amend the date by which the Company must either (i) consummate
a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more
businesses, which we refer to as our initial Business Combination, or (ii) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding
up if it fails to complete such initial Business Combination, and redeem all of the shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001
per share, of the Company (“Class A Common Stock”), included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial
public offering that was consummated on January 20, 2021, from January 20, 2023 to December 21, 2022 and (B) allow the Company to redeem
shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with the amendment to the Charter to the extent that such redemption would result in the
Company having net tangible assets of less than $5,000,001 (collectively, the “Amendment”, and such proposal, the “Amendment
Proposal”); and (2) a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting from time to time to solicit additional proxies
in favor of the Amendment Proposal or if otherwise determined by the chairperson of the Special Meeting to be necessary or appropriate
(the “Adjournment Proposal”). The number of votes cast for or against, as well as the number of abstentions as to each proposal,
are set forth below.

their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.11 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount
