On February 4, 2025, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 24, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Registrant, Bending Spoons US Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Bending Spoons”), Bending Spoons S.p.A., an Italian societá per azioni (solely for the purposes of Section 6.11, Section 6.13 and Section 9.15 of the Merger Agreement), and Blossom Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bending Spoons (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into the Registrant (the “Merger”), with the Registrant surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bending Spoons.
