One of the conditions to the Merger under the Merger Agreement is the approval of the Company’s stockholders. On April 8, 2022, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Company filed a preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A with the SEC in order to solicit proxies in connection with an upcoming special meeting of the Company’s stockholders to approve the Merger Agreement.

Commencing on April 13, 2022, purported individual stockholders of the Company filed complaints in the United States District Courts for the Southern District of New York, the Eastern District of New York, and the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, in the matters captioned Ryan O’Dell v. Summer Infant, Inc., et. al., Case No. 1:22-cv-03050-VSB (S.D.N.Y., filed April 13, 2022), Jeffrey D. Justice II v. Summer Infant, Inc., et al, Case No. 1:22-cv-02260 (E.D.N.Y., filed April 20, 2022), and Matthew Hopkins v. Summer Infant, Inc., et al, Case No. 2:22-cv-01545-JDW (E.D. Pa., filed April 20, 2022). The complaints name as defendants the Company and the members of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).

The complaints generally allege that the preliminary proxy statement filed by the Company materially misrepresents or omits certain purportedly material information, including information relating to the financial projections of the Company, the valuation analyses performed by one of the financial advisors to the Company, and the terms of engagement of one of the financial advisors to the Company. Each of the complaints asserts violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaints seek, among other things, an injunction enjoining consummation of the proposed Merger, rescission of the Merger Agreement or the Merger, if the Merger is consummated, a declaratory judgment that the Company and the Board violated the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder, and awarding the costs of the actions, including plaintiff’s reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses.

Additional complaints or demands may be filed in connection with the proposed Merger. If additional similar complaints or demands are filed or made, absent new or different allegations that are material, the Company will not necessarily announce them.

While the Company believes that the claims asserted in these complaints are without merit and that no additional disclosure is required under applicable law, in order to avoid the risk of these complaints delaying or adversely affecting the Merger and to minimize the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation, and without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, the Company determined to voluntarily provide certain disclosures in its revised preliminary proxy statement filed with the SEC on May 6, 2022.

Additional Information about the Proposed Merger and Where to Find It

In connection with the proposed Merger, the Company has filed and will prepare and file relevant materials with the SEC, including a preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A that was filed with the SEC on April 8, 2022, a revised preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A that was filed with the SEC on May 6, 2022, and a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A and a proxy card to be filed and mailed to Company stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting relating to the proposed Merger. This communication is not intended to be, and is not, a substitute for the proxy statement or any other document that the Company has filed or may file with the SEC in connection with the proposed Merger. INVESTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CAREFULLY READ THE PROXY STATEMENT (INCLUDING ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS THERETO AND ANY DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE THEREIN) AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSED MERGER THAT THE COMPANY HAS FILED OR WILL FILE WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY AND THE PROPOSED MERGER. The preliminary proxy statement, the definitive proxy statement, and other relevant materials in connection with the transaction (when they become available), and any other documents filed or furnished by the Company with the SEC, may be obtained free of charge at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov). In addition, copies of the proxy statement and other relevant materials and documents filed by the Company with the SEC will also be available free of charge on the Investor Relations page of the Company’s website located at https://www.sumrbrands.com.

Participants in the Solicitation of Company Stockholders

The Company, Kids2, Inc. and their respective directors and executive officers, management and employees may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the Company’s stockholders in connection with the proposed Merger. Information about the Company’s directors and executive officers and their ownership of Company common stock is set forth in its definitive proxy statement for its 2021 annual meeting of shareholders filed with the SEC on April 16, 2021. To the extent that holdings of the Company’s securities have changed since the amounts reflected in the Company’s proxy statement, such changes have been or will be reflected on Statements of Change in Ownership on Form 4 filed with the SEC. Additional information regarding the participants in the solicitation and their interests in the proposed Merger are included in the proxy statement and other materials relating to the proposed Merger filed or to be filed with the SEC. These documents may be obtained free of charge at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov and on the Investor Relations page of the Company’s website located at https://www.sumrbrands.com.
