Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Merger Agreement

On June 1, 2021, Skillz Inc. (“Skillz” or the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with Aarki, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Aarki”) and certain other parties named thereto whereby Skillz will acquire all the equity interests of Aarki (the “Acquisition”). Skillz intends to consummate the Acquisition for approximately $150 million, comprised of approximately $90 million in cash and approximately 4.0 million shares of Skillz Class A common stock, subject to certain adjustments and as calculated pursuant to the Agreement. Closing of the Acquisition is expected to occur during early third quarter of 2021, upon satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions.

The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of Skillz and Aarki. Additionally, the Agreement provides for customary pre-closing covenants of Aarki, including covenants relating to conducting its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and refraining from taking certain actions without Skillz’s consent, including restrictions on any other alternative transactions.

Consummation of the Acquisition is subject to various customary conditions, including, among others, (i) approval of the Agreement by the requisite vote of Aarki’s stockholders,(ii) expiration of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and (iii) the absence of any order or law issued by certain courts of competent jurisdiction or other governmental entity, in each case prohibiting consummation of the Acquisition, and no action or proceeding by a governmental entity before any court or certain other governmental entities of competent jurisdiction seeking to prohibit consummation of the Acquisition. The Acquisition is not conditioned on Skillz’s receipt of financing.

The Agreement contains customary termination rights, including the right of either party to terminate the Agreement if the Acquisition is not consummated on or before October 1, 2021, subject to certain extension rights to December 1, 2021.

Skillz also has agreed, contingent upon the closing of the Acquisition, to file a resale shelf registration statement on Form S-1 (or if then ineligible to use such form, then any other available form of registration statement) to register for resale under the Securities Act, the shares of Skillz Class A common stock issued to Aarki stockholders in connection with the Acquisition.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated by reference herein. The Agreement has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Skillz, Aarki, or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The representations, warranties, and covenants contained in the Agreement were made only for purposes of the Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties thereto or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of representations and warranties may change after the date of the Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Skillz’s public disclosures.







Non-Competition Agreement

Concurrently with entering into the Agreement, Skillz entered into a non-competition and non-solicitation agreement with Aarki’s chief executive officer Levon Budagyan, in his capacity as a key equity holder of Aarki, pursuant to which Mr. Budagyan agreed to customary non-competition and non-solicitation provisions applicable for a term of two years.

The foregoing description of the non-competition and non-solicitation agreement with certain stockholders of Aarki does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of non-competition and non-solicitation agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference. The issuance of Skillz Class A common stock in connection with the Acquisition is expected to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, based upon appropriate representations and certifications that Skillz has received or expects to obtain from Aarki and each Aarki stockholder receiving Skillz Class A common stock. The issuance of any additional shares of Skillz Class A common stock in connection with the payment of any contingent merger consideration described above is also expected to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Skillz has agreed to file a resale shelf registration statement on Form S-1 (or if then ineligible to use such form, then any other available form of registration statement) to register for resale under the Securities Act the shares of Skillz Class A common stock issued to Aarki equity holders in connection with the Acquisition.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On June 2, 2021, Skillz issued a press release announcing the execution of the Agreement, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

The information contained in Item 7.01 of this Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed to be “filed” with the SEC for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this Form 8-K and its exhibits may be characterized as forward-looking under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Important risk factors related to the transaction could cause actual future results and other future events to differ materially from those currently estimated by management, including, but not limited to: the risk that the proposed transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect Skillz’s business and the price of the Class A common stock of Skillz; the failure to satisfy any of the conditions to the consummation of the proposed transaction; the timing to consummate the proposed transaction; the risk that a regulatory approval that may be required for the proposed transaction is delayed, is not obtained or is obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Agreement; the effect of the announcement or pendency of the proposed transaction on Skillz’s business relationships, operating results and business generally; the risk that the proposed transaction may disrupt current plans and operations and the potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the proposed transaction; the ability to achieve the synergies and value creation contemplated; Skillz’s ability to promptly and effectively integrate Aarki’s businesses; the risk that revenues following the transaction may be lower than expected; the risk that operating costs, customer loss, and business disruption (including, without limitation, difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees, customers, and suppliers) may be greater than expected; the assumption of unexpected risks and liabilities; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted related to the Agreement or the proposed transaction; the diversion of and attention of management of Skillz on transaction-related issues; and the other factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in Skillz’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as amended, and subsequent filings with the SEC, which are available at http://www.sec.gov. Skillz assumes no obligation to update the information in the communication, except as otherwise required by law. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward looking statements.

No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”), certified by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, setting forth (i) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time on the Closing Date and (ii) the Company’s good faith estimate of (A) Closing Working Capital (such estimate, “Estimated Closing Working Capital”), (B) Closing Indebtedness (such estimate, “Estimated Closing Indebtedness”), (C) Closing Cash (such estimate, “Estimated Closing Cash”) and (D) Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses (such estimate, “Estimated Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses”). The Company shall deliver supporting calculations and documentation of such calculations, in detail reasonably acceptable to Parent, concurrently with the delivery of such Estimated Closing Statement. The Company shall consult with Parent and its accountants with respect to the preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement and consider in good faith the comments of Parent on the Estimated Closing Statement (if applicable), and the Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the Specified Accounting Principles and the sample calculation attached hereto as Schedule 1.01(a).
(b)    Post-Closing Adjustment.
(i)    As promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Parent shall cause to be prepared in accordance with the Specified Accounting Principles and the sample calculation attached as Schedule 1.01(a) and delivered to the Securityholder Representative a statement (the “Parent Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail Parent’s proposed good faith calculation of the Adjustment Amount (including proposed good faith and reasonably detailed calculations of Closing Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash and Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses) (the “Parent Closing Date Calculations”), together with reasonably detailed supporting documentation for such calculations; provided, that in the event Parent does not deliver the Parent Closing Statement in accordance with the foregoing sentence, the Adjustment Amount shall be deemed to equal zero and shall be deemed final and binding on Parent, the Securityholder Representative and the Securityholders as the Adjustment Amount for all purposes of this Agreement.
(ii)    During the thirty (30) day period commencing upon receipt by the Securityholder Representative of the Parent Closing Statement (the “Review Period”), Parent shall provide the Securityholder Representative and any accountants or advisors retained by the Securityholder Representative with reasonable access to the books and records of the Company for the purposes of (A) enabling the Securityholder Representative and its accountants and advisors to calculate, and to review the Parent Closing Statement, including the Parent Closing Date Calculations and Parent’s calculation of, the Adjustment Amount as reflected in the Parent Closing Statement and (B) identifying any dispute related to the calculation of the Adjustment Amount set forth in the Parent Closing Statement.
(iii)    If the Securityholder Representative disputes the Parent Closing Statement, the Parent Closing Date Calculations or the Adjustment Amount set forth in the Parent Closing Statement, then the Securityholder Representative shall deliver a written notice (an “Adjustment
27

|US-DOCS\123754940.16||


Dispute Notice”) to Parent prior to the expiration of the Review Period. The Adjustment Dispute Notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for the dispute and the Securityholder Representative’s proposed determination of the Adjustment Amount (including, as applicable, proposed calculations of Closing Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash and Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses).
(iv)    If the Securityholder Representative does not deliver an Adjustment Dispute Notice to Parent prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the Adjustment Amount set forth in the Parent Closing Statement shall be deemed final and binding on Parent, the Securityholder Representative and the Securityholders as the Adjustment Amount for all purposes of this Agreement.

In the event Parent and the Securityholder Representative so resolve any such differences, the Adjustment Amount set forth in the Parent Closing Statement, as adjusted by the Agreed Modifications shall be final and binding as the Adjustment Amount for all purposes of this Agreement. If the Securityholder Representative and Parent are unable to reach agreement on the calculation of the Adjustment Amount within the twenty (20) day period following the delivery of the Adjustment Dispute Notice to Parent, then either the Securityholder Representative or Parent may submit the objections to an independent nationally recognized “Big 4” accounting firm (such firm, or any successor thereto, being referred to herein as the “Designated Accounting Firm”) after such twentieth (20th) day. In resolving any disputed item, the Designated Accounting Firm (x) shall determine the Closing Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash and Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses in accordance with the respective definitions thereof and the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, (y) shall limit its review to matters still in dispute as specifically set forth in the Adjustment Dispute Notice (and only to the extent such matters are still in dispute) and (z) shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator. The Designated Accounting Firm shall be directed by Parent and the Securityholder Representative to resolve the unresolved objections as promptly as reasonably practicable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and, in any event, within thirty (30) days of such referral, and, upon reaching such determination, to deliver a copy of its calculations (the “Expert Calculations”) to the Securityholder Representative and Parent. In connection with the resolution of any such dispute by the Designated Accounting Firm, each of Parent, the Securityholder Representative and their respective advisors and accountants shall have a reasonable opportunity to meet with the Designated Accounting Firm to provide their respective views as to any disputed issues with respect to the calculation of the Adjustment Amount. The determination of the Adjustment Amount made by the Designated Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on Parent, the Securityholder Representative and the Securityholders for all purposes of this Agreement, absent manifest error. The Expert Calculations (A) shall reflect in detail the differences, if any, between the calculation of the Adjustment Amount reflected in the Adjustment Dispute Notice and the calculation of the Adjustment Amount set forth in the Parent Closing Statement and (B) with respect to any specific discrepancy or disagreement, shall be no greater than the higher amount calculated by Parent or the Securityholder Representative, as the case may be, and no lower than the lower amount calculated by Parent or the Securityholder
28

|US-DOCS\123754940.16||


Representative as the case may be. The fees and expenses of the Designated Accounting Firm shall be borne by Parent, on the one hand, and the Securityholder Representative, on behalf of the Securityholders, on the other hand, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Designated Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Designated Accounting Firm at the time the determination is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted to the Designated Accounting Firm.
(vi)    If the Adjustment Amount, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.07(b), is a negative number, then Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing it to distribute the amount of such Adjustment Amount as instructed by Parent rom the Escrow Fund. In the event there is an insufficient amount in the Escrow Fund to satisfy the Adjustment Amount, Parent shall be entitled to recover directly from the Joined Securityholder Indemnitors (in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares) any unsatisfied portion of the Adjustment Amount.
(vii)    If the Adjustment Amount, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.07(b), is a positive number, then Parent shall promptly pay or cause to be paid the Adjustment Amount in a combination of cash and Parent Stock (solely in the case of payments made to holders of shares of Company Capital Stock who were Accredited Investors in accordance with Section 2.04(a)(i)) to the Securityholders (in proportion to their respective pro rata allocation of the Aggregate Merger Consideration Value and with the allocation of the Adjustment Amount to Parent Stock and cash, as applicable, in the same proportion as the Parent Stock and cash paid to each holder of Company Capital Stock at Closing in accordance with Section 2.04(a)(i)).
(viii)    To the extent permitted under applicable Tax law, any amount paid to Company Stockholders pursuant to this Section 2.07(b) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Aggregate Merger Consideration Value for all Tax purposes.
Section 2.08    Payment of Aggregate Consideration.
(a)    Exchange Agent. Parent and the Company shall appoint Acquiom Financial LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, in its capacity as payments administrator (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging the Aggregate Stockholder Consideration, provided, that for the issuance of shares of Parent Stock, Parent may use Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company for such purposes.
(b)    Exchange Procedures.
(i)    At the Effective Time, holders of certificates (whether physical or electronic) representing shares of Company Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company, and the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of such capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of Company Capital Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid physical certificate previously representing any of such shares of Company Capital Stock (a “Physical Company Stock Certificate”) is presented to the Surviving Company, Surviving Corporation or Parent in accordance with this Section 2.08, such Company Stock Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in this Section 2.08.
29

|US-DOCS\123754940.16||


(ii)    As soon as commercially practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each Company Stockholder a letter of transmittal in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Letter of Transmittal”, which shall include a customary affidavit of loss) at the address set forth opposite such Company Stockholder’s name in the Consideration Spreadsheet with instructions for use in surrendering Physical Company Stock Certificates for cancellation and acknowledging that electronically held certificates representing such Company Stockholder’s shares of Company Capital Stock (an “Electronic Company Stock Certificate”) will be cancelled in connection with the Closing, in each case, in exchange for the consideration payable in accordance with Section 2.04. After receipt by a Company Stockholder of (i) the Letter of Transmittal, (ii) the Joinder Agreement and (iii) in the case of any Company Stockholder receiving shares of Parent Stock in connection with the Merger, (A) the Investor Questionnaire and (B) the Selling Holder Questionnaire ((i)-(iii), together with any other required deliveries to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the instructions in the Letter of Transmittal, the “Exchange Documents”), such Company Stockholder will be required to surrender Physical Company Stock Certificate(s), acknowledge cancellation of Electronic Company Stock Certificate(s) and deliver to the Exchange Agent (as specified in the Letter of Transmittal) properly completed and validly executed Exchange Documents in order to receive such Company Stockholder’s applicable portion of the Aggregate Stockholder Consideration in accordance with Section 2.04. For the avoidance of doubt, unless required by Parent, a Company Stockholder need not to surrender the Physical Company Stock Certificate(s) to the Exchange Agent in order to receive the applicable consideration payable in accordance with Section 2.04 to which the holder is entitled, and upon valid completion and submission of a Letter of Transmittal (including via online submission), the underlying certificates covered by such Letter of Transmittal shall be deemed automatically surrendered.
(iii)    No later than five (5) full Business Days after surrender of all Physical Company Stock Certificates for cancellation and acknowledgement of cancellation of all Electronic Company Stock Certificates held by a Company Stockholder to the Exchange Agent, together with properly completed and validly executed Exchange Documents, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay to the holders of such Company Stock Certificate the shares of Parent Stock (which will be in book entry form) and any cash payments, as applicable, such Company Stockholder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.04. If any Physical Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance of any consideration hereunder, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Physical Company Stock Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit and indemnification agreement (and any bond which may be required by the Exchange Agent) as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Company with respect to such Physical Company Stock Certificate as a condition to payment.
(c)    Closing Payments.
(i)    As promptly as practicable after the Closing (but in any event on the Closing Date), Parent shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Exchange Agent the aggregate cash consideration payable to the Company Stockholders in connection with the Closing pursuant to Section 2.04 by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in the Consideration Spreadsheet for such purpose.
30

|US-DOCS\123754940.16||

(vi)    As promptly as practicable after the Closing (but in any event on the Closing Date), Parent shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Surviving Company the aggregate cash consideration payable to the Company Optionholders and the holders of Company Warrants in connection with the Closing pursuant to Section 2.06 by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in the Consideration Spreadsheet for such purpose.
(d)    Cap on Shares. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in no event shall the total number of shares of Parent Stock issuable hereunder as part of the Aggregate Stockholder Consideration and the Assumed Options exceed 19.9% of the total shares of common stock of Parent outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (not including any shares that are owned by Parent and without assuming the conversion or exercise of any options, warrants or other convertible securities) (the “Issued Share Threshold”). In the event that the terms of this Agreement would require Parent to issue shares of Parent Stock in an amount that would exceed the Issued Share Threshold (which would require Parent to obtain stockholder approval pursuant to Section 312.03(c) of the NYSE Manual), Parent shall have the right in its sole discretion to substitute cash for shares of Parent Stock (based on the Parent Stock Price).
Section 2.09    Escrow. Notwithstanding Section 2.04(a), the Escrow Amount shall be withheld by Parent from the consideration otherwise payable to such Company Stockholders.

To the extent that such amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom or to which such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

Prior to the Closing, if a 280G Vote is required, the Company shall deliver to Parent evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent, (i) that a 280G Vote was solicited in conformance with Section 280G of the Code, and the requisite stockholders approval was obtained with respect to any payments and/or benefits that were subject to the Company stockholders vote (the “Section 280G Approval”) or (ii) that the Section 280G Approval was not obtained and as a consequence, pursuant to the waivers described in clause (a) of the preceding sentence, such “parachute payments” shall not be made or provided.

(e)    any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement; provided, that any failure to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 8.02(b) shall not be deemed to be a breach of a covenant under this Section 5.06(e) unless such failure to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 8.02(b) is due to the Company’s Willful Breach; and
(f)    any event, condition, fact or circumstance that would make the timely satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article 8 impossible or reasonably unlikely.

The Parent Stock issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act (by reason of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act) and therefore may not be re-offered or resold other than in conformity with the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such other applicable rules and regulations or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. The Parent Stock to be issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) and may not be offered, sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise transferred unless (A) a registration statement with respect thereto is effective under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or (B) an exemption from such registration exists and either Parent receives an opinion of counsel to the holder of such securities, which counsel and opinion are reasonably satisfactory to Parent, that such securities may
71

|US-DOCS\123754940.16||


be offered, sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in the manner contemplated without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws (it being agreed, for the avoidance of doubt, that no such opinion shall be required following and during the effectiveness of the Registration Statement). The Parent Stock issued hereunder shall, if certificated, bear an appropriate legend (or if held in book entry form, will be noted) with respect to such restrictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Parent shall have the right to substitute cash for shares of Parent Stock (based on the Parent Stock Price) in the event Parent determines in its sole discretion that is has not received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that a Company Stockholder is (or remains) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.
(b)    Within 45 days following Closing, Parent shall file with the SEC, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective as soon as reasonable practicable after filing, a shelf registration statement on Form S-1 (including any amendments or supplements, the “Registration Statement”) and the prospectus (including any amendments or supplements, the “Prospectus”) forming part of the Registration Statement in compliance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act covering the resale on a continuous basis of the Registrable Securities held by all holders that have adequately and timely provided Parent with a duly completed and executed Selling Holder Questionnaire.
(c)    Parent shall promptly notify the Securityholder Representative of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective until such time that all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement cease to constitute Registrable Securities hereunder (the “Effectiveness Period”), provided, however, that in no event shall the Effectiveness Period last longer than two (2) years from the date of the original effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
(d)    As a condition to its obligations under this Section 6.03, Parent may require each Holder of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to (i) furnish Parent with such information regarding such Person that is necessary to satisfy the disclosure requirements relating to the registration and the distribution of such securities under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder as Parent may from time to time reasonably request in writing and (ii) promptly notify Parent in writing of any changes in the information set forth in the Registration Statement after it is prepared regarding the Holder of Registrable Securities. None of the information supplied (or to be supplied) by or on behalf of any of the Holders of Registrable Securities for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement or Prospectus will, at the time the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act (or with respect to any post-effective amendments or supplements thereto, at the time such post-effective amendments or supplements become effective under the Securities Act), contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. For the purposes of this Section 6.03, a “Holder of Registrable Securities” refers solely to a holder of Registrable Securities as of or following the Closing Date. For the purposes of this Section 6.03, a “Holder of Registrable Securities” refers solely to a holder of Registrable Securities as of or following the Closing Date.
(e)    Parent may, by two (2) days prior written notice to all the Holders of Registrable Securities (each, a “Blackout Notice”), (i) delay the filing of any Registration Statement or a request for acceleration of the effective date, or (ii) suspend any Registration Statement after effectiveness and require that the Holders of Registrable Securities immediately cease sales of shares pursuant to any Registration Statement in the event that (A) Parent is engaged in any activity or transaction or
72

|US-DOCS\123754940.16||


preparations or negotiations for any activity or transaction that Parent desires to keep confidential for business reasons, if Parent determines in good faith that the public disclosure requirements imposed on Parent under the Securities Act in connection with such Registration Statement would require at that time disclosure of such activity, transaction, preparations or negotiations and such disclosure could result in imminent and material harm to Parent or (B) any other event occurs that makes any statement of a material fact made in such Registration Statement, including any document incorporated by reference therein, untrue or that requires the making of any additions or changes in such Registration Statement in order to make the statements therein not misleading, provided, that Parent may not postpone the filing of, or suspend trading under, the Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 6.03(e) for more than sixty (60) days in the aggregate (it being understood and agreed that, during any such postponement or suspension, Parent shall (x) use good faith efforts to limit and minimize the duration of any such postponement or suspension period, (y) use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement or any Prospectus as may be reasonably necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement, and (z) not register any securities for sale by Parent (other than in connection with a Registration Statement on Form S-8) or for resale by any other Securityholders. If Parent suspends any Registration Statement and requires the Holders of Registrable Securities to cease sales of shares pursuant to this Section 6.03(e), Parent shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the termination of the circumstance which entitled Parent to do so, take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to file or reinstate the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and give written notice to all Holders of Registrable Securities authorizing them to resume sales pursuant to such Registration Statement. If as a result thereof the Prospectus included in any Registration Statement has been amended to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, Parent shall enclose such revised Prospectus with the notice to Holders of Registrable Securities given pursuant to this Section 6.03(e), and the Holders of Registrable Securities shall make no offers or sales of shares pursuant to such Registration Statement other than by means of such revised Prospectus. Parent need not specify the nature of the event giving rise to any delay or suspension in any notice to Holders of Registrable Securities and such Holders of Registrable Securities agree to treat and keep the existence of such delay or suspension, as the case may be, confidential.
(f)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Parent shall not be required to take any action under this Section 6.03 unless and until Parent shall have received any financial statements (including financial statements required to be filed with the Registration Statement) and any other financial information of the Company required for inclusion in any Registration Statement or Prospectus to be filed with the SEC by Parent under this Section 6.03, in each case as reasonably determined by Parent. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any required financial statements as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing.
(g)    Parent shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with compliance with its obligations under this Section 6.03, including all fees and expenses in connection with the filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement, the registering of the Registrable Securities, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or “blue sky” laws, transfer agent fees, the maintenance of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and the listing of the Parent Stock on the NYSE, including all registration, filing, qualification, printing, accounting and other fees and expenses, except that Parent shall not be responsible for the fees of the representatives of and counsel to, the Securityholders, including those with respect to any review and preparation of any Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement (all of which shall be included as Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses to the extent not directly paid by the applicable Securityholder).

Parent shall cause the Surviving Company, Surviving Corporation and each of their respective Subsidiaries for a period of not less than six years from the Effective Time (i) to maintain provisions in its Governing Documents concerning the indemnification and exoneration (including provisions relating to expense advancement) of the Company D&O Indemnified Parties that are no less favorable to those Persons than the provisions of the Governing Documents for each Acquired Company, as applicable, in each case, as of the date of this Agreement, and (ii) not to amend, repeal or otherwise modify such provisions in any respect that would adversely affect the rights of those Persons thereunder, in each case, except as required by Applicable Law.

(a)    The Company shall prepare and timely file, or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns in respect of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that are required to be filed on or before the Closing Date, and shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries due on or before the Closing Date. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared by treating items on such Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, with respect to such items, except as required by Applicable Law. At least ten (10) days prior to filing any such Tax Return, the Company shall submit a copy of such Tax Return to Parent for Parent’s review and comment, and the Company shall incorporate any reasonable comments in good faith.
(b)    Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns for the Acquired Companies for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are filed or required to be filed after the Closing Date and for all Straddle Periods.

At least fifteen (15) days prior to filing any such Tax Return, Parent shall submit a copy of such Tax Return to the Securityholder Representative for review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and Parent shall incorporate any reasonable comments of the Securityholder Representative in good faith.

|US-DOCS\123754940.16||


Article 10 but without limiting any of Parent’s rights under Article 10, to the extent not already taken into account in Indebtedness, Parent may recover from the Escrow Fund an amount equal to such Taxes of the Acquired Companies for such periods.
Section 7.02    Straddle Periods. Pursuant to Article 10 but without limiting any of Parent’s rights under Article 10, to the extent not already taken into account in Indebtedness, Parent may recover from the Escrow Fund an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes which relates to the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 7.02 and Section 10.02(a)(v), the portion of any Tax that relates to the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall (a) in the case of real property, personal property and similar ad valorem Taxes be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period and (b) in the case of any other Tax, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Straddle Period ended as of the end of the day on the Closing Date. Tax Liabilities determined under Sections 951 and 951A of the Code shall be determined by assuming that the taxable period of each Acquired Company ended as of the end of the day on the Closing Date (such that all Tax Liabilities determined under Sections 951 and 951A of the Code that are attributable to economic activity occurring on or before the Closing Date will be allocable to a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date).
Section 7.03    Cooperation on Tax Matters. Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Agreement and any Tax Contest. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information in the possession of the other Party which may be reasonably relevant to any such Tax Contest and making appropriate persons available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. To the extent in the possession of the applicable Party, Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Acquired Companies relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority.
Section 7.04    Contest Provisions. If, subsequent to the Closing, Parent or an Acquired Company receives notice of a Tax Contest with respect to any Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, then within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice, Parent shall notify the Securityholder Representative by writing of such notice; provided, however, that any failure on the part of Parent or the applicable Acquired Company to so notify the Securityholder Representative shall not limit any of the obligations of the Indemnitors under Article 10 (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Tax Contest). Parent shall have the right to control any such Tax Contest relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, including the defense and settlement thereof; provided that the Securityholder Representative shall be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in any such Tax Contest, Parent shall keep the Securityholder Representative reasonably informed of all material developments on a timely basis (including providing copies of all material correspondence and other documents relevant to such Tax Contest) and Parent shall not resolve such Tax Contest without the Securityholder Representative’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. In the case of any conflict between this Section 7.04 and Section 10.07, this Section 7.04 shall control. “Tax Contest” means any audit, other administrative proceeding or inquiry or judicial proceeding involving Taxes.

Section 7.07    Certain Reorganization Matters. The Parties each acknowledge and agree that for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Mergers, taken together, are intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and that this Agreement (including any amendments thereto) is intended to constitute, and is hereby adopted by the Parties as, a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g), and for purposes of Sections 354 and 368 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Each Party shall not (and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries not to) take any action which action is not contemplated by this Agreement and could reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Mergers from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
Section 7.08    Company Transaction Expenses. For all purposes of this Agreement, the Company Transaction Expenses shall be treated as deductible in a Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent such Company Transaction Expenses are at least “more likely than not” deductible in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and are permitted under applicable Law; provided, that the safe harbor election set forth in IRS Revenue Procedure 2011-29 shall be applied to determine the amount of any such deductions to be taken into account that are attributable to the payment of any success-based fees.
Section 7.09    Transfer Tax. All transfer, stamp, documentary, sales, use, registration, value-added and other similar Taxes (including all applicable real estate transfer Taxes) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (“Transfer Taxes”) and any out-of-pocket expenses with respect to preparing and filing any necessary Tax Returns will be borne 50% by Parent, on the one hand, and 50% by the Securityholders, on the other hand. Parent will prepare and file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable Law, the Securityholders will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

Any cash Tax refunds that are received by Parent or an Acquired Company, and any amounts credited against Tax to which Parent or an Acquired Company become entitled in lieu of a cash Tax refund, that relate to Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date shall be for the account of the Securityholders, and Parent shall pay over to the Securityholders any such refund or the amount of any such credit (net of all Taxes and reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Parent and its Affiliates in connection with obtaining or the receipt of such refund) within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such refund or claiming of such credit; provided, however, that the Securityholders shall not be entitled to any such refunds or credits to the extent (a) taken into account in Aggregate Merger Consideration Value or (b) attributable to the carryback or other application of a net operating loss or other Tax attribute generated in a Tax period or portion thereof beginning after the Closing Date.
Section 7.11    Post-Closing Actions. After the Closing Date, except as allowed under Section 7.01(b), none of Parent or any Acquired Company may file or amend any Tax Return, or make or change

(a)    Subject to Section 10.03(c), the Securityholder Indemnitors shall not be required to make any indemnification payment pursuant to Section 10.02(a)(i) for any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement or the Company Closing Certificate until such time as the total amount of all Damages (including the Damages arising from such inaccuracy or breach and all other Damages arising from any other inaccuracies in or breaches of any representations or warranties) that have been directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Indemnitees, or to which any one or more of the Indemnitees has or have otherwise become subject, exceeds an amount equal to $750,000 in the aggregate (the “Deductible”) (it being understood that if the total amount of such Damages exceeds the Deductible, then the Parent Indemnitees shall be entitled to be indemnified against and compensated and reimbursed for such Damages in excess of the Deductible).
(b)    The maximum Liability of the Securityholder Indemnitors under Section 10.02(a)(i) shall be equal to the Escrow Amount. The Parent Indemnitees shall recover all Damages under this Article 10
85

|US-DOCS\123754940.16||


first from the Escrow Fund before such Parent Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover any Damages directly from any Securityholder Indemnitor.
(c)    Subject to any other limitations applicable under this Article 10, the limitations set forth in Section 10.03(a) and Section 10.03(b) shall not apply to any claim for indemnification made pursuant to Section 10.02(a)(i) to the extent such claim arises from or is a result of or directly or indirectly connected with, any breach of a Company Fundamental Representation, a Company Special Representation or any Fraud by the Company with respect to any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement (including the Company Closing Certificate).
(d)    Section 10.03(c) notwithstanding, the maximum Liability of the Securityholder Indemnitors under Section 10.02(a)(i) to the extent such claim arises from or is a result of or directly or indirectly connected with, any breach of a Company Special Representation, shall be equal to forty-five million dollars ($45,000,000) (the “SR Cap”).
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to claims for indemnification for which the maximum Liability of the Indemnitors is not equal to the Escrow Amount or the SR Cap, in no event shall any Securityholder Indemnitor be liable to the Parent Indemnitees for Damages under this Article 10 in excess of the amount of the Aggregate Merger Consideration Value actually received by such Securityholder Indemnitor; provided, however, that the limitations set forth in this Section 10.03(e) shall not apply with respect to a Securityholder Indemnitor in the event such Securityholder Indemnitor commits Fraud, in which event such Securityholder Indemnitor shall be liable to the Parent Indemnitees for the full amount of Damages resulting from, arising out of or related to such Securityholder Indemnitor’s own Fraud (but, for the avoidance of doubt, no Securityholder Indemnitor shall be liable for any Fraud of any other Securityholder Indemnitor); provided, further, however, except with respect to Fraud as described in the immediately preceding provision, a Securityholder Indemnitor shall not be liable for any Damages in excess of its, his or her Pro Rata Share of such Damages.
(f)    For all purposes under this Article 10, shares of Parent Stock received pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be valued at the Parent Stock Price. The Parties hereto acknowledge that the Parent Stock Price only reflects an agreed-upon amount as to the value of Parent Stock solely for purposes of satisfying any Damages under this Article 10 and is not intended to be, nor is it, deemed to constitute the fair market value of Parent Sock at any given time.
(g)    For purposes of this Article 10, when determining whether a breach, inaccuracy or failure has occurred and the amount of Damages incurred by an Indemnitee, each representation or warranty in this Agreement shall be interpreted without reference or giving effect to any materiality qualification or limitation set forth in such representation and warranty, including, as applicable, the terms “material,” “materiality,” “in all material respects,” “Company Material Adverse Effect” and “Parent Material Adverse Effect.”
(h)    Payments due under this Article 10 shall be limited to the amount of any Damages (including any additional Taxes imposed on or incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the related indemnification payments) that remain after deducting therefrom the amount of any insurance proceeds, and any indemnity, contribution, or other similar payment that is actually received by the Indemnitee in respect of any such claim (net of any deductible or any other expense or Taxes incurred by the Indemnitee in obtaining or receiving such recovery); provided, that the Indemnitee shall be under no obligation hereunder to seek any such payments. In addition, payments due under this Article 10 shall be reduced by
86

|US-DOCS\123754940.16||


the amount of any actual reduction in Taxes paid by Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or their Affiliates as a result of any Tax benefit obtained as a result of incurring the applicable Damages to the extent such Tax benefit is actually realized in the taxable year that such Damages were incurred or the subsequent tax year (determined on a with and without basis and treating any such benefit as the last item of deduction for the applicable taxable year).
(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Securityholders shall not be liable for (i) any Taxes of the Company incurred on the Closing Date after the Closing resulting from actions by Parent that are outside the ordinary course of business of the Company consistent with past practices, other than actions contemplated pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) any Taxes that have been taken into account in determining the Aggregate Merger Consideration Value, (iii) any Taxes with respect to a taxable period (or portion thereof) that begins after the Closing Date incurred as a result of a reduction in the amount, value or condition of, or any limitations on, any Tax asset or attribute of the Company (e.g., net operating loss, net operating carryforward, Tax basis or Tax credits), or (iv) any Taxes resulting from an election made under Section 338 of the Code or under any comparable provisions of any other state, local or foreign laws with respect to the Mergers.
(j)    No Indemnitee shall be entitled to double recovery for any indemnifiable Damages even though such Damages may have resulted from the breach of more than one of the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants in this Agreement.
(k)    The Parties agree that the indemnification provisions contained in this Article 10 are the sole and exclusive remedy following the Closing as to all claims and Damages any Indemnitee may incur arising from or relating to this Agreement; and each of the Parties, on behalf of itself and its equity owners, trustees, directors, managers, officers, employees, and Affiliates, agrees not to bring any actions or proceedings, at law, equity or otherwise, against any other Party or its equity owners, directors, managers, officers, employees, and Affiliates, in respect of any claims or Damages arising from or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions (it being understood that nothing in this Section 10.03(g) or elsewhere in this Agreement shall (i) affect the Parties’ rights to specific performance in accordance with Section 11.03 with respect to the covenants referred to in this Agreement or to be performed after the Closing, (ii) apply to claims in respect of matters to be resolved pursuant to Section 2.07, (iii) limit claims for Fraud against the Person who committed such Fraud or (iv) affect any rights arising out of claims a party to an Ancillary Agreement may have under such Ancillary Agreement, including the Letters of Transmittal and other Exchange Documents delivered pursuant to Section 2.08(b)(ii) or (v) apply to Section 11.01, which shall be enforceable by the Securityholder Representative in its entirety against the Securityholders).
Section 10.04    Claims and Procedures.
(a)    Any Parent Indemnitee or Securityholder Indemnitee making claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 10, shall promptly notify the Securityholder Representative, in the case of a claim by a Parent Indemnitee, or the Parent, in the case of a claim by a Securityholder Indemnitee, in writing of such claim (a “Claim Certificate”):
(i)    stating that such Indemnitee has a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 10;
(ii)    to the extent reasonably practicable, containing a good faith non-binding, preliminary estimate of the amount to which such Indemnitee claims to be entitled to receive, which shall be the
87

|US-DOCS\123754940.16||


amount of Damages such Indemnitee claims to have so incurred or suffered or could reasonably be expected to incur or suffer; and
(iii)    specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by Parent) the material facts known to such Indemnitee giving rise to such claim.
    No delay in providing such Claim Certificate shall affect an Indemnitee’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnitors are actually and materially prejudiced thereby.
(b)    If the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, in good faith objects to any claim made by the applicable Indemnitee(s) in any Claim Certificate, then the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, shall deliver a written notice (a “Claim Dispute Notice”) to the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, during the 30-day period commencing upon receipt by the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, of the Claim Certificate. The Claim Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the principal basis for the dispute of any claim made by the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, in the Claim Certificate. If the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, does not deliver a Claim Dispute Notice to the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, prior to the expiration of such 30-day period, then (i) each claim for indemnification set forth in such Claim Certificate shall be deemed to have been conclusively determined in the applicable Indemnitees’ favor for purposes of this Article 10 on the terms set forth in the Claim Certificate, (ii) in the case of a claim by a Parent Indemnitee, if any amount remains in the Escrow Fund, then Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing it to distribute an amount sufficient to satisfy any Damages to which a Parent Indemnitee entitled pursuant to Article 10 as instructed by Parent and the Securityholder Representative from the Escrow Fund, (iii) in the case of a claim by a Parent Indemnitee, in the event the Escrow Amount is insufficient to satisfy such Damages, then Parent may recover any unsatisfied Damages directly against the Securityholder Indemnitors in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (iv) in the case of a claim by a Securityholder Indemnitee, then the Securityholder Indemnitee(s) may recover the Damages against Parent in accordance with this Agreement.
(c)    If the applicable Party delivers a Claim Dispute Notice, then Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such objections raised in the applicable Claim Dispute Notice. If Parent and the Securityholder Representative agree to a resolution of such objection, then a memorandum setting forth the matters conclusively determined by Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall be prepared and signed by both Parties. In the case of a claim by a Parent Indemnitee, if any amount remains in the Escrow Fund, then Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing it to distribute an amount in accordance with the terms of such memorandum as instructed by Parent and the Security Representative from the Escrow Fund. In the case of a claim by a Parent Indemnitee, in the event the Escrow Fund is insufficient to satisfy such Damages, then Parent may recover any unsatisfied Damages directly against the Securityholder Indemnitors in accordance with the terms of such memorandum. In the case of a claim by a Securityholder Indemnity, then the Securityholder Indemnitee(s) may recover the Damages against Parent in accordance with the terms of such memorandum.
(d)    If no such resolution can be reached during the 45-day period following the applicable Party’s receipt of a given Claim Dispute Notice, then upon the expiration of such 45-day period, either Parent or the Securityholder Representative may bring suit to resolve the objection in accordance with
88

|US-DOCS\123754940.16||


this Agreement. Judgment upon any award rendered by the trial court may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
Section 10.05    Release Procedures. Promptly after the General Expiration Date, Parent will notify the Securityholder Representative in writing of the amount, if any, that Parent determines in good faith to be necessary to satisfy all claims for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement that have been asserted, but not resolved on or prior to 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the General Expiration Date (each such claim a “Continuing Claim” and such amount, the “Retained Escrow Amount”). Within fifteen (15) Business Days following the General Expiration Date, Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing it to distribute any amounts remaining in the Escrow as of the General Expiration Date (as reduced from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) minus (ii) the Retained Escrow Amount, with each Securityholder to receive a portion thereof equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the amount to be so released by (B) such Securityholder’s Pro Rata Escrow Share. In the event that there exist Continuing Claims as of the General Expiration Date, as soon as all such Continuing Claims have been resolved, then Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing it to distribute the retained amount, if any, that was retained for purposes of satisfying such claims that was not needed to satisfy such claims. With respect to any amount to be released from the Escrow Fund, if any former holder of Company Capital Stock is required to, but has not executed and delivered properly completed Exchange Documents prior to the release of the Escrow Fund, then any amount that would otherwise be released to such Indemnitor shall be held by Parent, without interest, until such holder satisfies all of such Indemnitor executes and delivers properly completed Exchange Documents.
Section 10.06    No Contribution. No Indemnitor shall have, or be entitled to exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against the Surviving Company or Surviving Corporation in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other Liability to which he, she or it may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement.
Section 10.07    Defense of Third-Party Claims. Except as otherwise provided in Article 7, in the event of the assertion of any claim or the commencement by any Person of any Proceeding against an Indemnitee with respect to which any of the Indemnitors may become obligated to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate or reimburse any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article 10 (each, a “Claim”), the Securityholder Representative, in the case of the Securityholder Indemnitees, or Parent, in the case of the Parent Indemnitees, as applicable, will, promptly after receipt of notice of any such Claim, notify the Securityholder Representative or the Parent, as applicable (the “Responsible Party”), of the commencement thereof; provided, however, that any failure on the part of the applicable Party to so notify the other Party shall not limit any of the obligations of the applicable Indemnitors under this Article 10 (except to the extent such failure actually and materially prejudices the defense of such Proceeding). Other than with respect to Claims brought by a Governmental Authority or Claims seeking equitable relief, the Responsible Party shall have the right, at its election, to proceed with, and to control, the defense of such Claim on its own; provided, however, that the Securityholder Representative or the Parent, as applicable, and its counsel (at the Indemnitors’ sole expense) may participate in (but not control the conduct of) the defense of such Claim in a manner that would not result in the loss of any attorney-client privilege, attorney work product privilege or any other legal privilege. If the applicable Responsible Party so proceeds with the defense of any such Claim, the Securityholder Representative or the Parent, as applicable, shall, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each Indemnitor to, make available to the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, any documents and materials in
89

|US-DOCS\123754940.16||


such Person’s possession or control that may be necessary to the defense of such Claim. Except with the prior written consent of the Securityholder Representative, in the case of a Claim for which indemnification is sought from the Securityholder Indemnitors, or Parent, in the case of a Claim for which indemnification is sought from the Parent, as applicable (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), any amount paid in the settlement or resolution of any such Claim shall not be determinative of the existence of or amount of indemnifiable Damages hereunder relating to such matter.
Section 10.08    Exercise of Remedies by Parent Indemnitees Other Than Parent. No Parent Indemnitee (other than Parent or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall be permitted to assert any indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement unless Parent (or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall have consented to the assertion of such indemnification claim or the exercise of such other remedy.
ARTICLE 11.
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 11.01    Securityholder Representative.
(a)    By virtue of the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Mergers and the other Transactions by the Requisite Stockholder Approval, and by receiving the benefits thereof, including any consideration payable hereunder, each of the Securityholders shall have irrevocably constituted and appointed Shareholder Representative Services LLC, upon the Effective Time (and by its execution of this Agreement as Securityholder Representative, Shareholder Representative Services LLC hereby accepts its appointment) as the true, exclusive and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Securityholder Representative”), of the Securityholders receiving consideration hereunder to act in the name, place and stead of the Securityholders for all purposes in connection with the Transactions, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto, and to act on behalf of the Securityholders in any Proceeding involving this Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto, to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents as the Securityholder Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the Transactions, including the power:
(i)    to act for the Securityholders with regard to matters pertaining to indemnification referred to in this Agreement, including the power to compromise any indemnity claim on behalf of the Company Stockholders and to transact matters of litigation or other Proceedings;
(ii)    to execute and deliver all amendments, waivers, ancillary agreements, stock powers, certificates and documents after the Closing that the Securityholder Representative deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the consummation of the Transactions;
(iii)    to execute and deliver all amendments and waivers to this Agreement that the Securityholder Representative deems necessary or appropriate after the Closing;
(iv)    to receive the Securityholder Expense Fund for the payment of expenses of the Securityholders and apply such funds in payment for such expenses;
(v)    to engage attorneys, accountants and other agents on behalf of the Securityholders in connection with this Agreement and pay any fees related thereto out of the Securityholder Expense Fund;
90

|US-DOCS\123754940.16||


(vi)    to do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of the Securityholders that the Securityholder Representative deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement as fully and completely as the Securityholders could do if personally present; and
(vii)    to receive service of process in connection with any claims under this Agreement. and to receive and forward notices and other communications pursuant to this Agreement
(b)    The Securityholder Representative may resign at any time. The Securityholder Representative may be removed or replaced only upon delivery of written notice to the Surviving Company or Surviving Corporation by the Company Stockholders holding at least a majority of outstanding shares of Company Preferred Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. Parent, the Surviving Company, the Surviving Corporation and any other Person may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any action of the Securityholder Representative in all matters referred to herein. The Securityholder Representative shall act for the Securityholders on all of the matters set forth in this Agreement in the manner the Securityholder Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Securityholders and consistent with the obligations under this Agreement.
(c)    The Securityholder Representative will incur no liability in connection with its services pursuant to this Agreement and any related agreements except to the extent resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Securityholder Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Securityholders shall indemnify the Securityholder Representative against any reasonable, documented, and out-of-pocket losses, liabilities and expenses (“Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and any related agreements, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Securityholder Representative, the Securityholder Representative will reimburse the Securityholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. Representative Losses may be recovered by the Securityholder Representative from (i) the funds in the Securityholder Expense Fund and (ii) any other funds that become payable to the Securityholders under this Agreement at such time as such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Securityholders; provided, that while the Securityholder Representative may be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Securityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred. In no event will the Securityholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Securityholders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Securityholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Securityholder Representative hereunder. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Securityholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement.
(d)    The Securityholder Representative shall use the Securityholder Expense Fund to pay any expenses incurred by the Securityholder Representative in fulfilling its obligations hereunder and the agreements ancillary hereto and shall distribute any remaining balance of the Securityholder Expense Fund to the Exchange Agent for further distribution to the Securityholders upon completion by the Securityholder Representative of its duties hereunder. Any such distributions from the Securityholder Expense Fund shall be paid to the Indemnitors that are Accredited Investors, with equal priority and pro rata based on each such Securityholder’s Pro Rata Escrow Share of the Securityholder Expense Fund.
91

|US-DOCS\123754940.16||


The Securityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Securityholder Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Securityholder Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Securityholder Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Securityholder Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Shareholder Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. For tax purposes, the Securityholder Expense Fund will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Securityholders at the time of Closing.

|US-DOCS\123754940.16||


(a)    The Parties intend that all confidential communications involving attorney-client confidences at or prior to the Closing between any Acquired Company or any Securityholders, on the one hand, and Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP (“A&P”) or Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP (“Orrick”, and each, “Retained Counsel”), on the other hand, relating solely to the negotiation of the Transactions and that are attorney-client privileged (collectively, but subject to the last sentence of this Section 11.11(a), the “Protected Communications”), shall remain privileged after the Closing and the privilege and the expectation of client confidentiality applicable thereto shall be deemed to belong solely to such Securityholders and not the Company or any other Acquired Company and shall not be transferred to or claimed by or used by Parent, the Surviving Company or the Surviving Corporation or their Affiliates (collectively, the “Acquiring Parties Group”). As such, none of the Acquiring Parties Group shall have the right to access any or all of the Retained Counsel files that constitute Protected Communications, whether or not the Closing occurs. Further, all associated rights to assert, waive and otherwise administer the attorney-client privilege and right of confidentiality of any Securityholder with respect to the Protected Communications (the “Associated Rights”), shall, from and after the Closing, rest exclusively with the Securityholders and the Securityholder Representative (in its capacity as such).
(b)    Parent, Merger Sub, and Merger Sub II acknowledge, on their own behalf and on behalf of the other members of the Acquiring Parties Group from and after the Closing, that: (i) A&P has acted as counsel for the Company, the other Acquired Companies and the Securityholders, and Orrick has acted as counsel to certain Securityholder(s), in each case at and prior to the Closing; and (ii) the Securityholder Representative and the Securityholders expect that, in the event of any post-Closing disputes under this Agreement related to the Transactions (the “Limited Waived Matters”), A&P or Orrick may represent, either individually or jointly, one or more of them. Accordingly, Parent, Merger Sub, and Merger Sub II, on their own behalf and on behalf of the other members of the Acquiring Parties Group from and after the Closing, hereby (x) consent to A&P and/or Orrick’s representation of the Securityholder Representative and the Securityholders in the Limited Waived Matters, including, without limitation, any Limited Waiver Matter in which the interests of the Acquiring Parties Group (or any member thereof), on the one hand, and the Securityholders (or any member thereof), on the other hand, are or may be adverse, whether or not such Limited Waived Matter is one in which either Retained Counsel may have previously advised any member of the Securityholders and (y) waive any right they or any of them may have to discover or obtain information or documentation relating to either Retained Counsel’s representation of the Securityholders in connection with the Limited Waived Matters; provided, however, that this clause (y) shall not apply to A&P or Orrick (as the case may be) if and to the extent (1) such applicable Retainer Counsel is then representing any member of the Acquiring Parties Group and (2) such representation of such member of the Acquiring Parties Group would require such applicable Retained Counsel to either refrain from representing the Securityholders or obtain the informed consent of the Securityholders and the applicable member of the Acquiring Parties Group under Applicable Law or applicable ethical standards governing attorney conduct.

Exhibit 99.1
NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT
This Restrictive Covenant Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of _________, 2021, by and between Skillz Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), on the one hand, and ___________ (“Seller”), a resident of the State of [California], on the other hand.
WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution hereof, Parent, Aarki, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Spades Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), Spades Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub II” and together with Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”) and Shareholder Representative Services, LLC, as the Securityholder Representative, are entering into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (as may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) and immediately following, the merger of the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II continuing as the surviving entity;
WHEREAS, as an employee and equityholder of the Company, Seller will receive consideration in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and has obtained valuable knowledge and confidential information concerning the business and operations of the Company; and
WHEREAS, in connection with the Merger and as an essential inducement to Parent’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated thereby in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, and to preserve the value of the business of the Company being acquired by Parent pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the parties hereto desire to enter into this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby covenant and agree as follows:

1.Consideration. The execution and delivery by Parent of the Merger Agreement and in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby in accordance with the terms and conditions therein, including the consideration ultimately received by Seller in connection with the Merger, constitutes adequate consideration for the agreements and covenants of Seller contained herein.

2.Non-Competition. During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Term”), other than in connection with employment of Seller with Parent or any of its Affiliates, Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, whether or not for compensation, engage in the Business (as defined below) or have any interest in any Person or business (whether as an employee, security holder, proprietor, officer, director, agent, trustee, consultant, partner, member, adviser or in a similar capacity) which engages in the Business, in the entire world (the “Business Area”); provided, that, during the Term and thereafter, Seller may (i) own shares of any company whose securities are publicly traded, so long as the securities so owned do not constitute more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding securities of such company, and (ii) make passive investments through investment, venture or private equity funds of which Seller does not
|



account for more than five percent (5%) of committed capital; provided, further, that Seller may be employed or provide services to a Person or business that is engaged in the Business if Seller’s services to such Person or business do not relate in any material respect to the engagement in or operation in the Business. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Business” means the development, marketing, operation or provision of any mobile advertising technology (“Ad Tech”) marketing platform, including artificial intelligence-enabled mobile Ad Tech marketing platforms, as presently conducted by the Company (or currently planned by the Company to be conducted in the future).

3.Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the Term, other than in connection with employment of Seller with Parent, the Company or any of their affiliates, Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit for hire or hire or attempt to solicit for hire or hire any person who was an employee of the Company during the 6-month period prior to the date of the Merger Agreement (each a “Covered Employee”) to terminate his or her employment or engagement or to terminate or knowingly breach his or her employment or engagement terms or agreement with Parent or the Company (or, subject to Section 9(a), their permitted successors or assigns); provided, that (x) an advertisement or other general solicitation for employment, in each case not specifically targeted at employees of Parent or the Company, and (y) solicitations of any Covered Employee no longer employed by Parent or the Company or any of its other subsidiaries (or, subject to Section 9(a), their permitted successors or assigns) if such Covered Employee’s employment therewith was terminated by the Company without cause or ended six (6) months or more prior to such solicitation, shall not constitute an impermissible solicitation or inducement hereunder.

4.Non-Solicitation of Customers and Suppliers. During the Term, other than in connection with employment of Seller with the Buyer, the Company or any of their affiliates, Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit, knowingly (i) interfere with, or (ii) induce, or attempt to induce, any present customer, subscriber or supplier of the Company as of the date of the Merger Agreement (a) to cease doing business in whole or in part, intentionally alter in any material respect, terminate or knowingly breach his, her or its relationship or agreement with Parent or the Company (or its successors) or (b) for the purpose of engaging in the Business.

5.Injunctive Relief. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that (a) the parties hereto will be entitled to seek an injunction, specific performance or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 9(e) without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement and (b) the right of injunctive relief is an integral part of this Agreement and without that right, neither Parent nor Seller would have entered into this Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party pursuing an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 5 will not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order.

6.Separate Covenants. The parties hereto agree that (i) the covenants of Seller set forth in this Agreement constitute a material inducement for Parent to execute, deliver and consummate the
|



Merger Agreement, (ii) such covenants are an integral and essential element of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and are necessary to protect and preserve the Company’s, and Parent’s and its subsidiaries’, legitimate business interests, (iii) but for such covenants, Parent would not have entered into the Merger Agreement and (iv) irreparable harm would result to Parent and its subsidiaries as a result of a violation or breach (or potential violation or breach) by Seller of this Agreement. Seller acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in this Agreement are reasonable for the purpose of preserving for Parent and its subsidiaries’ benefit the proprietary rights, going business value and goodwill of the business of the Company. However, should a determination nonetheless be made by a court of competent jurisdiction at a later date that the character, duration or geographic scope of this Agreement is unreasonable in light of the circumstances as they then exist, then it is the intention and the agreement of the parties hereto that this Agreement shall be construed by the court in such a manner as to impose only those restrictions on the conduct of Seller which are reasonable in light of the circumstances as they then exist and as are necessary to assure Parent of the intended benefit of this Agreement. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce all of the separate covenants deemed included herein because, taken together, they are more extensive than necessary to assure Parent of the intended benefit of this Agreement, it is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that those of such covenants which, if eliminated, would permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced in such proceeding shall, for the purpose of such proceeding, be deemed eliminated from the provisions hereof.

7.Confidentiality. During the Term, Seller shall (a) hold in confidence all, and shall not to disclose to any unauthorized Person any Confidential Information, including all such information and documents of the Company that Parent is acquiring pursuant to the Merger Agreement and (b) shall not use the Confidential Information for its benefit or the benefit of any other Person (other than the Company or Parent). For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential Information" means any and all Company and Company subsidiary proprietary information, technical data, inventions or discoveries (whether patentable or not), know-how and trade secrets, business practices, methods, techniques, or processes that: (x) derive independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and (y) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to: (i) methods for developing and commercializing cellular-based solutions; (ii) processes, methods, techniques, applications and procedures, including without limitation all formulae, algorithms and models, used by the Company in creating or deriving products and services; (iii) product formulations, strategies and plans for future business, new business, product or other development, new and innovative product ideas, potential acquisitions or divestitures, and marketing plans and strategies; (iv) information with respect to costs, commissions, fees, profits, sales, markets, sales methods and financial information; (v) the identity of the Company’s customers, specific customer needs and requirements and leads and referrals to respective customers; (vi) the identity of other employees and independent contractors, their respective salaries or fees, bonuses, benefits, relative qualifications and abilities (“Personnel Information”), and (vi) manuals or any other documents embodying the Company’s practices and policies that include trade secrets or any other information identified as Confidential Information in this Section 7; provided, that Confidential Information does not include information that (x) enters the public domain or is otherwise generally known in the industry in which the Company operates, other than through Seller’s breach of Seller’s obligations under any agreement
|



with the Company or Parent, including this Agreement, (y) is independently developed by Seller without the use of Confidential Information of the Company, or (z) becomes known to Seller, or his Affiliates, employees or representatives, on a non-confidential basis from a third party that, to Seller's knowledge, is not otherwise bound by a confidentiality agreement with Parent or any of its subsidiaries, or the Company, or any of their respective representatives, under circumstances not involving any breach of any contractual, legal, fiduciary or confidentiality obligation. Seller acknowledges and agrees that Confidential Information can be in any form: oral, written or machine readable, including electronic files. Seller shall promptly notify Parent if Seller discloses Confidential Information in contravention of this Agreement, which notice shall provide reasonable detail as to the circumstances of such disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may disclose, and shall not be held liable under this Agreement or any applicable Law for making any disclosure of, any Confidential Information (a) to a government official or an attorney for purposes of reporting a suspected violation of Law or regulation, or in a court filing under seal, (b) in the event that Seller is requested or required by judicial or governmental action to disclose any Confidential Information, provided that Seller first gives (to the extent lawful) Parent reasonable prior written notice (email being sufficient) of such request or requirement and reasonably cooperates with Parent (at Parent's sole cost and expense) in seeking a protective order or confidential treatment for any such disclosure if requested to do the same, (c) in or in connection with any dispute under this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby or to assert any right of such Person hereunder or thereunder, (d) with the consent of Parent. In addition, nothing contained in this Agreement prohibits or prevents Seller from filing a charge with or participating, testifying or assisting in any investigation, hearing, whistleblowing proceeding or other proceeding before any federal, state or local government agency (e.g., EEOC, NLRB, SEC, etc.). Under the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Seller shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret Law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: is made (a) (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of Law; (b) to Seller’s attorney in relation to a lawsuit for retaliation against Seller for reporting a suspected violation of Law; or (c) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.
8.Representations and Warranties. Seller represents and warrants to Parent as follows:
(a)Seller has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement;
(b)this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Seller and constitutes a valid, legal and binding agreement of Seller, subject to (i) laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors, and (ii) rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies;
(c)no notices to, filings with or authorizations, consents or approvals of any Governmental Authority are necessary for the execution, delivery or performance by Seller of this Agreement; and
(d)none of the execution, delivery and performance by Seller of this Agreement will (i) constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any
|



right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any material contract to which Seller is a party or (ii) violate any Applicable Law applicable to Seller.

9.Miscellaneous.

(a)Benefit and Assignment.

Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Person not a party to this Agreement.

(b)Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the rights of the parties hereto under the Merger Agreement and in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby), and the terms and conditions of employment entered into between Seller (in his capacity as an employee of Parent) and Parent, on the date hereof, embody the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersede all prior agreements and the understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter, provided, that no provisions relating to intellectual property and proprietary assignment in any prior agreement shall be superseded (and that Seller shall continue to be subject to such provisions contained therein). In the event of an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises with respect to this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the execution version of this Agreement will control, and prior drafts of this Agreement and the documents referenced herein will not be considered or analyzed for any purpose (including in support of parol evidence proffered by any Person in connection with this Agreement), will be deemed not to provide any evidence as to the meaning of the provisions hereof or the intent of the parties with respect hereto and will be deemed joint work product of the parties.

(l)Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Aarki’s Reach of More Than 465 Million Monthly Users Will Extend Skillz’s Player Acquisition Capabilities
