Includes 103,333,333 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) of Rumble Inc. issuable pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, dated December 20, 2024 (the “Transaction Agreement”), by and between Rumble Inc. and Tether Investments, S.A. de C.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Tether Holdings, S.A. de C.V. |
In October 2021, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (CFTC) instituted and settled regulatory proceedings against Tether Holdings, S.A. de C.V. (then Tether Holdings Limited),
Tether Limited, Tether Operations Limited, and Tether International Limited (collectively, “Tether”) by way of an order accepting
Tether’s payment of a civil monetary penalty of $41 million without admitting or denying any of the CFTC’s findings or conclusions.
The order settled CFTC allegations that, from June 2016 to February 2019, Tether made untrue or misleading statements and omissions of
material fact or omitted to state material facts necessary to make statements made not true or misleading in connection with, among other
things, whether USDT was fully backed by U.S. Dollars held in bank accounts in Tether’s name.
In February 2021, the Office of the Attorney General
of the State of New York (NYAG) entered into an agreement with Tether and several Bitfinex (a group of companies with which Tether is
affiliated) companies to settle a 2019 proceeding brought by NYAG seeking an injunction related to, among other things, the transfer of
certain funds by and among Bitfinex and Tether. Without admitting or denying NYAG’s findings, Bitfinex and Tether agreed to settle
the NYAG proceeding by paying $18.5 million in penalties to the State of New York. The agreement further required Bitfinex and Tether
to discontinue any trading activity with New York persons or entities and to submit to mandatory reporting on certain business functions.
