What Happened

- These are contingent earnout shares issued under the Merger Agreement with Bowlero Corp. They vest only if the closing per-share price of LUCK Class A common stock is ≥ $17.50 for any 10 trading days within a consecutive 20-trading-day window. If conditions are not met within five years after closing, the rights to the Earnout Shares are forfeited.
Key Details

- Shares granted: 1,196 Earnout Shares; Price: N/A (no cash purchase).
- Vesting condition: closing price ≥ $17.50 for any 10 trading days within any consecutive 20-trading-day period; subject to adjustments per the Merger Agreement; forfeited if not vested by 5-year anniversary.

Context
- These are contingent (derivative) earnout rights tied to the merger milestone, not immediate stock purchases or sales — they only convert to actual Class A shares if the price/vesting condition is met.
- This filing reflects institutional/transactional arrangements tied to a merger agreement rather than routine insider buying or selling; it does not necessarily signal near-term buying or selling intent by the reporting parties.
