Termination of BCA

On August 15, 2022, BLTS received a letter from Manscaped purporting to terminate the BCA. On August 18, 2022, the parties to the BCA entered into a Mutual Termination and Release Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the parties agreed to mutually terminate the BCA, effective immediately.

Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, BLTS and Manscaped have also agreed, on behalf of themselves and their respective related parties, to a release of claims relating to the Contemplated Business Combination. Manscaped has also agreed to pay BLTS the sum of $1.0 million, with $350,000 due on the date of the Termination Agreement (“Termination Date”), $216,666.66 due on each of the first and second anniversaries of the Termination Date, and $216,666.68 due on the third anniversary of the Termination Date.

The foregoing descriptions of the Termination Agreement, the BCA, the SSA, the ESA and the AAA do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the terms and conditions of the full text of the Termination Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, the full text of the BCA, which was previously filed as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2 to BLTS’ and ParentCo’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Business Combination S-4”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 22, 2022, the full text of the SSA, which was previously filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to the Business Combination S-4, the full text of the ESA, which was previously filed as Exhibit 10.3 to BLTS’ Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Signing 8-K”) filed with the SEC on November 23, 2021, and the full text of the AAA, which was previously filed as Exhibit 10.5 to the Signing 8-K, each of which is incorporated by reference herein.
