NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) and in conformity with rules applicable to quarterly financial information. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2022 and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are unaudited. All adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise noted, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for these interim periods have been included.

Readers of this unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated quarterly financial information should refer to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto of Redbox Entertainment Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Redbox,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us”) for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and also available on our website (www.redbox.com). Certain footnote disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited financial statements or which are not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting have been condensed or omitted.

Refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of the Company’s accounting policies and estimates. Such Annual Report also contains a discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates.

Business Update, Going Concern and Strategic Alternatives

Historically, rentals have been correlated with the number and quality of new theatrical titles released in a quarter. During 2021 and for the first three months of 2022, Redbox’s business was negatively impacted by the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in fewer than expected theatrical releases. In addition, the significant increase in impacts from the Omicron variant caused further disruption to the business. As such, Redbox rentals have not recovered to the extent expected and, notwithstanding the year-over-year increase in new theatrical releases, were lower than pre-COVID-19 levels. As part of an effort to expand its business and transform into a multi-faceted entertainment company, during the fourth quarter of 2021 and into the first three months of 2022, Redbox increased its marketing and on-demand expenditures. Costs also increased as Redbox purchased more content, which were not offset by an increase in revenues.

Redbox has been exploring a number of potential strategic alternatives with respect to the Company’s corporate or capital structure and seeking financing to fund operations and one-time restructuring costs. In March 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors established a Strategic Review Committee to, among other things, consider and oversee strategic alternatives or transactions that may be available to the Company with respect to its corporate or capital structure. Redbox is also executing on a previously announced series of restructuring actions and initiatives to improve its efficiency and reduce its cost structure, including, but not limited to, (i) optimizing its kiosk network and (ii) executing a workforce reduction across its supply chain and corporate teams. However, the risks and uncertainties related to the ongoing adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operating results, together with the Company’s recurring operating losses, accumulated deficit and negative working capital, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, after consideration of the strategic initiatives outlined below, within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are issued.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company generated negative cash flows from operations of $14.8 million, had an accumulated deficit of $334.4 million and negative working capital of $79.8 million. The Company evaluated the impact of the additional financing and restructuring actions and initiatives further described below on its ability to continue as a going concern.

On March 29, 2022, the Company completed a reduction in force of 150 employees. One-time restructuring charges of $3.8 million were incurred, the substantial amount of which related to severance. The Company estimates that the workforce reduction will decrease its annual operating costs by approximately $13.1 million.

As a further condition of the Sixth Amendment, the Company issued to HPS Investment Partners, LLC (the administrative agent and collateral agent to the Credit Agreement) and certain affiliates (as defined in the Credit Agreement) warrants, with an exercise price of $0.0001 per share (the “HPS Warrants”), to purchase 11,416,700 shares of Class A common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) in the event certain milestones were not met under the Amended Credit Agreement. Upon signing of the Merger Agreement (as defined below), the HPS Warrants became void and all rights of the warrant holders thereunder to exercise the HPS Warrants ceased.

In connection with the Sixth Amendment, on April 15, 2022, the Company entered into a Voting and Support Agreement with AP VIII Aspen Holdings, L.P. (“Aspen”), Seaport Global SPAC, LLC and Redwood Holdco, LP (“Redwood”), (collectively the “Stockholders”), whereby the Stockholders agreed to vote their shares of the Company (i) in favor of any strategic transaction approved and recommended by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), or any committee to which the Board delegates authority, subject to certain terms and conditions (each, a “Transaction”), (ii) in opposition to any transaction involving the Company that has not been approved and recommend by the Board, and (iii) in favor of any directors that are proposed or nominated to the Board by the Company at any annual meeting of the Company.

The Company further agreed, pursuant to the Voting and Support Agreement, to (i) permanently reduce a portion of the Union Revolving Credit Facility in an amount equal to $10.6 million (and the Company made such reduction) and (ii) among other agreements, refrain from borrowing under the Union Revolving Credit Facility without the consent of Aspen and Redwood Holdco, LP (other than with respect to certain scheduled borrowings and borrowings to cover interest, fees and expenses).

In connection with the execution of the Sixth Amendment, the Company also implemented certain changes to the composition and size of its Board of Directors as further described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 19, 2022. The Strategic Review Committee of the Board was also dissolved in connection with these changes.

In connection with the Company’s entry into the Voting and Support Agreement, Redwood permanently waived the “Early Termination Payment” by the Company (or an affiliate) to Redwood that could have resulted from a provision in that certain Tax Receivable Agreement dated as of October 22, 2021 (“TRA”), which would have been triggered upon the change to the Board’s composition.

Additionally, under the Voting and Support Agreement, the Company and Redwood agreed, in connection with the consummation of a Transaction, to (a) terminate the TRA upon the consummation of a Transaction and (b) waive all claims under the TRA with such waiver being effective upon the consummation of such Transaction.

On May 10, 2022, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment (“CSSE”), pursuant to which, the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of CSSE (the “Merger Agreement”). As a result, additional borrowings under the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility became available upon the Company’s entry into the merger agreement with CSSE provided, that the Company, under the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility, restricts its borrowings to $45.0 million. See Note 17: Subsequent Events and the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 11, 2022 for additional information regarding the CSSE merger.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to implement one or more of the contemplated strategic alternatives, an event of default will occur under the Credit Agreement, and the Company could continue to experience adverse pressures on its relationships with counterparties who are critical to its business, its ability to access the capital markets, its ability to execute on its operational and strategic goals and its business, prospects, results of operations and liquidity generally. There can be no assurance as to when or whether the implementation of one or more of the Company’s strategic initiatives will be successful, or as to the effects the failure to take action may have on the Company’s business, its ability to achieve its operational and strategic goals or its ability to finance its

business or refinance its indebtedness. A failure to address these matters, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition, and its ability to service or refinance its corporate debt as it becomes due.

Note 3: Leases

The Company adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption and not restated comparative periods; rather the effect of the change is recorded at the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company will elect the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allows us to carryforward historical lease classification. In addition, we are electing the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases. Lastly, we elect the short-term lease recognition exemption for our leases. This means for short-term leases, we will not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU asset or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. In preparation for adoption of the standard, we have implemented internal controls to enable the preparation of financial information.

The Company recorded ROU assets of $9.1 million and lease liabilities for operating leases of $9.4 million as of January 1, 2022. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings and had no impact on cash flows.

The Company has operating leases primarily for office space, distribution centers, and other equipment. The Company also has finance leases for their fleet. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of up to approximately 4 years. Most leases are not cancelable prior to their expiration. The expected term of the lease used for computing the lease liability and right-of-use ("ROU") asset and determining the classification of the lease as operating or financing may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present, such as, whether a contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration

Operating Leases. Operating lease ROU assets, representing the Company's right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, are reflected in "Operating lease right-of-use assets" in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease liabilities, representing the present value of the Company's obligation to make payments over the lease term, are reflected in “Operating lease liabilities, current portion” and “Operating lease liabilities, non-current portion” in the Company's March 31, 2022 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company has entered into various short-term operating leases which have an initial term of 12 months or less. These short-term leases are not recorded on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Finance Leases. Finance lease ROU assets are included in "Property and equipment, net" and finance lease liabilities are included in the “Accrued and other current liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities” line items in the Company's March 31, 2022 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Finance lease ROU assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Table of Contents

Although separation of lease and non-lease components is required, certain practical expedients are available to entities. We will not elect to take advantage of the ability to combine lease and non-lease components. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately.

The present value of the lease payments is calculated using a rate implicit in the lease, when readily determinable. However, as most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments for the majority of its leases.

Variable lease payments that are based on an index or rate are included in the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities at lease inception. All other variable lease payments are expensed as incurred and are not included in the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities.

Note 4: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that could more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company completed a quantitative impairment analysis for goodwill related to its Legacy and Digital reporting units due to its financial performance. Based on this analysis, the Company concluded the fair value of its Legacy and Digital reporting units exceeded its carrying value and as such, no impairment charge was recorded.

As part of the Company’s impairment analysis, the determination of the fair value of the Company’s reporting units requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions including the business and financial performance of the Company’s reporting units, as well as how such performance may be impacted by COVID-19. These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to: the selection of appropriate peer group companies, control premiums appropriate for acquisitions in the industries in which the Company competes, discount rates, terminal growth rates, forecasts of revenue, operating income, depreciation, amortization and capital expenditures, including considering the impact of COVID-19. Certain events or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the underlying key assumptions and ultimately affect the estimated fair values of the Company’s reporting units include such items as: (i) a decrease in expected future new release movie titles resulting from the prolonged effects of the COVID-19 pandemic (ii) an increase in competition across streaming platforms resulting in fewer titles available at Redbox or fewer rental transactions and (iii) the inability to achieve cost savings or growth initiative targets within an expected timeframe.

Although the Company believes its estimates of fair value are reasonable, actual financial results could differ from those estimates due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making such estimates. Changes in assumptions concerning future financial results or other underlying assumptions, including the impact of COVID- 19, could have a significant impact on either the fair value of the reporting units, the amount of any goodwill impairment charges, or both. These estimates can be affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, the impact of COVID-19, its severity, duration and its impact on global economies, general economic conditions as well as the Company’s profitability. The Company will continue to monitor these potential impacts, including the impact of COVID-19 and economic, industry and market trends and the impact these may have on its Legacy and Digital reporting units.

The following table summarizes the changes in goodwill by reportable segment:


	Legacy		Digital
Dollars in thousands	Business		Business		Total
Balance as of December 31, 2021	$	144,014	$	3,509	$	147,523

There was no impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Certain events or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the underlying key assumptions and ultimately affect the estimated fair values of the Company’s reporting units include such items as: (i) a decrease in expected future new release movie titles resulting from the prolonged effects of the COVID-19 pandemic (ii) an increase in competition across streaming platforms resulting in fewer titles available at Redbox or fewer rental transactions and (iii) the inability to achieve cost savings or growth initiative targets within an expected timeframe.

On October 20, 2017, Redbox Automated Retail, LLC (“RAR”) entered into a credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”), which provided for:

●

a first lien term loan facility (the “Term Loan B”), in an aggregate principal amount of $425.0 million, with a five-year maturity; and

●

a first lien revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan B, the “Senior Facilities”), in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million, with a five-year maturity.

The Term Loan B was made available to RAR immediately upon closing and was used in part to retire all $280.0 million of the Company’s existing debt and to settle closing costs associated with the new Term Loan B totaling $19.5 million of which $4.6 million was paid to Apollo Global Securities, LLC, an affiliate of Apollo, for services provided in connection with the financing. The balance of the Term Loan B proceeds were used towards a dividend, occurring on the same day, with total dividends of $160.0 million to equity holders of RAR. Additionally, at the execution of the new Credit Agreement, RAR wrote-off unamortized deferred financing costs of $21.7 million related to the extinguishment of the entire debt under the prior credit agreement.

On September 7, 2018, RAR entered into an Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Amendment provided for, among other things, (i) an incremental Term B-1 Loan (“Term Loan B-1”) in an original aggregate principal amount of $85.8 million and (ii) the payment of one or more restricted payments to shareholders of RAR in an aggregate amount not to exceed $115.0 million. The proceeds received from the Amendment along with cash flow from the

Table of Contents

business were used towards a dividend distribution to equity holders of RAR totaling $115.0 million that was paid within five business days of September 7, 2018, and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Amendment totaling $3.7 million. The additional loan under Term Loan B-1 has terms identical to the original Term Loan B.

On September 30, 2020, RAR entered into the second amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) to, among other things, increase the total net leverage covenant during the remaining term of the Credit Agreement and revise the quarterly amortization payment schedule.

On December 28, 2020, RAR entered into a third amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”). The amendment deferred the December 2020 amortization payment to March 2021.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s Senior Facilities matured on October 20, 2022, and subsequent to the Amendment, Second Amendment and Third Amendment consisted of:

●

the Term Loan B, in an aggregate principal amount of $425.0 million;

●

the Term Loan B-1, in an aggregate principal amount of $85.8 million; and

●

the Revolving Credit Facility, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million.

As of March 31, 2022 there was no remaining borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility.

On January 29, 2021, RAR entered into an amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”). The Fourth Amendment provided for, among other things, (i) deferral of principal amortization payments until the maturity date (ii) extension of the maturity date to April 2023, (iii) at RAR’s election, subject to certain liquidity thresholds, payment PIK interest, and, (iv) removal of all financial covenant requirements.

In addition, under the Fourth Amendment, RAR incurred an incremental first lien term loan B-2 facility (“Term Loan B-2” and, together with Term Loan B and Term Loan B-1, the “Term Loan Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million which was provided by New Outerwall Inc. The loan was subsequently assigned to Aspen Parent, Inc., an affiliate of Apollo and therefore a related party of the Company. The proceeds from the loan were used for general corporate purposes.

Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, interest is payable on the Senior Facilities entirely in cash or, for a specified period, could be paid by increasing the principal amount of the Senior Facilities (PIK interest), or through a combination of cash and PIK interest, subject to certain liquidity thresholds. Borrowings under the Senior Facilities bear interest at a rate at RAR’s option, either (a) a London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) determined by reference to the costs of funds for Eurodollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing, adjusted for certain additional costs, subject to a 1.00% floor in the case of term loans or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (ii) the prime rate quoted by the Wall Street Journal (or another national publication selected by the administrative agent) and (iii) the one-month adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Senior Facilities is 7.25% with respect to Eurocurrency Borrowings (increasing to 8.25% if PIK interest is paid) and 6.25% with respect to ABR Borrowings (increasing to 7.25% if PIK interest is paid).

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Senior Facilities, RAR is required to pay a commitment fee at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum to the lenders in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. RAR is also required to pay customary agency fees.

In connection with the Business Combination, on May 16, 2021, RAR entered into another amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”). The Fifth Amendment, which became effective upon consummation of the Business Combination, provided consent to the planned Business Combination and among other things, extended the Senior Facilities maturity date to October 2023 and subordinated the Term Loan B-2 to the Term Loan B and the Term Loan B-1. In addition, among other things, concurrently with the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company repaid $50.0 million towards outstanding borrowings under the Senior Facilities including $15.0 million towards outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $35.0 million towards outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan B and the Term Loan B-1.

On October 11, 2021, RAR entered into a consent to the Fifth Amendment to make certain additional changes to the Credit Agreement, which became effective upon consummation of the Business Combination, including extending the maturity date of the Senior Facilities to April, 2024 and extending the PIK interest option until December 31, 2022 (subject to a minimum pro forma liquidity).

On April 15, 2022, RAR entered into a sixth amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”) (capitalized terms used herein are defined in the Credit Agreement as amended through the Sixth Amendment). Pursuant to the Sixth Amendment, an additional aggregate $50.0 million in financing under the Credit Agreement have been made available to the Company subject to certain conditions, the proceeds of which will be used to make payments in accordance with the Budget Plan and pay certain fees and expenses. From April 15, 2022 until the Signing Deadline Date, borrowings under the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility were limited to no more than $15.0 million in the aggregate. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, additional borrowings of $35.0 million became available on May 10, 2022, as a result of the Company entrance into a merger agreement with Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc. (“CSSE”), pursuant to which, the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of CSSE. See Note 17: Subsequent Events in Redbox’s Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the CSSE merger. Pursuant to the CSSE merger agreement, such merger shall be consummated not later than October 31, 2022.

Changes to the Credit Agreement effected by the Sixth Amendment included the following:

●

Call protection on the loans was modified so that at any time prior to maturity, a make-whole payment will be payable (i) on the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Loans if such loans are repaid or prepaid with a corresponding permanent commitment reduction and (ii) on the existing Term B Loans, Term B-1 Loans, and Revolving Facility Loans on the amount of such loan repaid or prepaid. The make-whole will not be payable if such loans are prepaid in full upon the consummation of the Company Sale on or prior to the Company Sale Outside Date.

●

Events of Default were added including:

o

Failure to meet Company Sale Milestones (including failure to consummate the Company Sale by October 31, 2022 (or such later date as agreed by the Administrative Agent)).

o

Failure to meet cost-cutting milestones, subject to a 5 day grace period.

o

Termination of an Acceptable Purchase Agreement other than in connection with the replacement thereof with certain replacement purchase agreements acceptable to the Administrative Agent, subject to a 5 day grace period.

o

Termination or cessation of validity of Voting and Support Agreement.

Union Revolving Credit Facility

On December 29, 2020, Redbox Entertainment, LLC entered into a four-year, $20.0 million revolving credit facility with Union Bank (the “Union Revolving Credit Facility”). The facility is used exclusively to pay for minimum guarantees, license fees and related distribution expenses for original content obtained under the Company’s Redbox Entertainment label. Borrowings outstanding under the Union Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $4.1 million and $4.6 million, respectively.

Borrowings under the Union Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at either the alternate base rate or LIBOR (based on an interest period selected by the Company of one month, three months or six months) in each case plus a margin. The alternate base rate loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the greatest of (i) the base rate in effect on such date, (ii) the federal funds effective rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1.0%, and (iii) daily one month LIBOR plus 1.0%. The revolving credit facility borrowings that are LIBOR loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the applicable LIBOR plus a margin of 0.50%. The borrowing interest rate for the Union Revolving Credit Facility was 4.25% as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

On April 15, 2022, the Company agreed, pursuant to the Voting and Support Agreement, to (i) permanently reduce a portion of the Union Revolving Credit Facility in an amount equal to $10.6 million (and the Company made such reduction) and (ii) among other agreements, refrain from borrowing under the Union Revolving Credit Facility without the consent of Aspen and Redwood Holdco, LP (other than with respect to certain scheduled borrowings and borrowings to cover interest, fees and expenses). Availability under the Union Revolving Credit Facility as of May 10, 2022 is $2.3 million.

Table of Contents

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Union Revolving Credit Facility, Redbox Entertainment, LLC is required to pay a commitment fee at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum to the lenders in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder.

Dividend Restrictions

The Credit Agreement contains certain customary affirmative covenants and negative covenants, including a limitation on the Company’s ability to pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of its capital stock or make other restricted payments. The covenant prohibiting dividends and other restricted payments has certain limited exceptions, including for customary overhead, legal, accounting and other professional fees and expenses; taxes; customary salary, bonus and other benefits; and up to $1.03 million for dividends that were accrued on equity interests that were unvested as of the payment of the Company’s last dividend in 2018 and have subsequently vested.

Interest Rates and Fees

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the borrowing interest rate for the Senior Facilities was 9.25%.

Amortization and Prepayments

Required minimum principal amortization payments under the Senior Facilities as of March 31, 2022, are as follows:


	Repayment
Dollars in thousands	Amount
2022	$	38,394
2023		—
2024		271,562
Total	$	309,956

In addition, the Senior Facilities require RAR to prepay outstanding term loan borrowings, subject to certain exceptions, with:

●

a certain percentage set forth in the Credit Agreement governing the Senior Facilities of RAR’s annual excess cash flow, as defined under the Senior Facilities;

●

a certain percentage of the net cash proceeds of certain non-ordinary course asset sales, other dispositions of property or certain casualty events, in each case subject to certain exceptions and reinvestment rights; and

●

the net cash proceeds of any issuance or incurrence of debt, other than proceeds from debt permitted under the Senior Facilities.

RAR may voluntarily repay outstanding loans that are funded solely by internally generated cash from business operations under the Senior Facilities at any time, without prepayment premium or penalty, except customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBOR rate loans.

All obligations under the Senior Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by each of RAR’s existing and future direct and indirect material, wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, and the direct parent of RAR. The obligations are secured by a pledge of substantially all of RAR’s assets and those of each guarantor, including capital stock of the subsidiary guarantors and 65% of the capital stock of the first-tier foreign subsidiaries that are not subsidiary guarantors, in each case subject to certain exceptions, and its capital stock owned by RAR’s direct parent. Such security interests consist of a first-priority lien with respect to the collateral.

All obligations under the Union Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by all direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company’s Redbox Entertainment, LLC entity.

Table of Contents

Letters of Credit

As required under the Senior Facilities, the Company has a letter of credit arrangement to provide for the issuance of standby letters of credit. The arrangement supports the collateral requirements for insurance claims and is good for one year to be renewed annually if necessary. The letter of credit is cash-collateralized at 105% in the amount of $3.1 million and $3.4 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

In October 2021, the Company entered into a letter of credit arrangement of $0.8 million that serves as a security deposit for leased warehouse space and is pledged by an equal amount of cash pledged as collateral.

The Company’s letter of credit arrangements are classified as restricted cash and reflect balances of $3.9 million and $4.2 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Note 7: Interest Rate Derivatives

The Company entered into an interest rate swap on October 22, 2018 to manage its exposure to changes in the interest rates related to its term loan (“Term B Facility”) following the Amendment discussed in Note 5: Debt. The swap is not designated as a hedging instrument and is reported at fair value with changes in fair value reported directly in earnings. The Company’s hedge consists of interest rate swaps, which was used to mitigate interest rate risk.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company entered into a three-year fixed-for-floating interest rate swap agreement with Nomura Global Financial Products, Inc. for a fixed notional amount of $200.0 million to swap the variable rate portion of interest payments tied to the one-month LIBOR under its term loans for fixed interest payments. The swap effectively locked in an average of a three-year forward curve for the one-month LIBOR at a fixed rate of 3.0335%, resulting in a total interest rate on the $200.0 million notional of 10.2835%. The interest rate swap agreement expired on October 31, 2021. See Note 6: Debt for additional disclosures about the Company’s Term B Facility.

The following table discloses the effect of the Company’s derivative instrument on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

Adjusted EBITDA is the profitability metric reported to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for purposes of making decisions about allocation of resources to each segment and assessing performance of each segment. The Company believes this measure is most useful in assessing the underlying performance of its business. Adjusted EBITDA is before integration related costs, efficiency initiatives, and other items. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the effects of financings, income tax and the non-cash accounting effects of depreciation and intangible asset amortization.

As segment assets are not reported to or used by the CODM to measure business performance or allocate resources, total segment assets and capital expenditures are not presented below.

Summarized financial information by segment is as follows:


	March 31,

(a)	Business optimization costs include employee retention costs, IT costs as well as consulting costs for certain projects.

(b)

Includes costs related to project costs and initiatives, as well as bank, legal and other fees in connection with the Company’s debt financing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred $3.7 million in one-time legal and advisory expenses as the Company explores strategic alternatives.

(c)	Includes costs to support the Company’s On Demand and AVOD offerings, along with costs related to the Company’s service and media network businesses.

(d)

Restructuring related costs include such items as employee severance charges and costs incurred related to removing kiosks. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred severance and related costs of $3.8 million in connection with a reduction in force, which are reflected in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Note 9: Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders adjusted for the assumed exchange of all potentially dilutive securities by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive elements. Basic and diluted loss per share is computed using the two-class method.

The Company analyzed the calculation of earnings per share for comparative periods presented and determined that it resulted in values that would not be meaningful to the users of the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, earnings per share information has not been presented for periods prior to the Business Combination.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A common stock:


Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts	Three Months Ended March 31,
Basic and Diluted EPS	2022		2021

Numerator:
Net loss	$	(40,874)	$	(27,195)
Less: net loss attributable to non-controlling interests		(39,430)		N/A
Net loss attributable to Redbox Entertainment Inc. — Basic and Diluted	$	(1,444)		N/A

Weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding — Basic and Diluted		12,618,516		N/A

Earnings per share of Class A common stock outstanding — Basic and Diluted	$	(0.11)		N/A

Shares of the Company’s Class B common stock do not share in the earnings or losses, are not entitled to receive dividends, or to receive any portion of assets upon liquidation of the Company, and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.

As the Company was in a loss position for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has determined all potentially dilutive shares would be anti-dilutive in these periods and therefore are excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding. This results in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding to be the same for basic and diluted EPS.

The following outstanding potentially dilutive shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their effect would have been anti-dilutive:

Note 10: Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At March 31, 2022, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding

Table of Contents

Class A Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of Class A, $0.0001 par value common stock. Holders of the Company’s Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At March 31, 2022, there were 12,618,516 shares issued and outstanding.

Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Class B, $0.0001 par value common stock. Holders of the Company’s Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. From time to time, holders of Class B common stock may exchange Class B common stock on a one-for-one basis with Redwood Intermediate common units held by such holders for Class A common stock. At March 31, 2022, there were 32,770,000 Class B common stock issued and outstanding.

Non-controlling Interest — Non-controlling interest represents the equity interest in Redwood Intermediate LLC held by holders other than the Company. On October 22, 2021, upon the close of the Business Combination, Redwood Holdco, LP’s equity ownership percentage in Redwood Intermediate LLC was approximately 72.2%. The Company has consolidated the financial position and results of operations of Redwood Intermediate LLC and reflected the proportionate interest held by Redwood Holdco, LP as non-controlling interest in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2022, Redwood Holdco, LP’s equity ownership percentage in Redwood Intermediate LLC was approximately 72.2%.

Note 11: Warrant Liability

At March 31, 2022, there were 10,781,250 Public Warrants and 6,062,500 Private Placement Warrants outstanding. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a holder of Public Warrants may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Class A common stock. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder. The Public Warrants expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company may redeem the Public Warrants under the following conditions:

●

In whole and not in part;

●

At a price of $0.01 per warrant;

●

Upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and

●

if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company gives proper notice of such redemption and provided certain other conditions are met.

The redemption criteria discussed above prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Company’s Class A common stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company recorded warrant liabilities of $4.1 million and $17.8 million, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized a gain of $13.8 million on the change in fair value of the warrant liabilities in Interest and other income (expense), net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 12: Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the buyer and the seller at the measurement date. In determining fair value,

Table of Contents

the valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and cost approach shall be used to measure fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs, which represent the assumptions used by the buyer and seller in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are further defined as observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are those that buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that the buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2 — Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means.

Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The fair value of the Company’s certain assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheet. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, due to related parties are estimated to approximate the carrying values as of March 31, 2022 due to the short maturities of such instruments.

The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.


		March 31,		December 31,
Dollars in thousands	Level	2022		2021
Liabilities:
Warrant Liability – Public Warrants	1	$	2,480	$	11,213
Warrant Liability – Private Placement Warrants	3		1,576		6,608
Total Warrant Liability		$	4,056	$	17,821

The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and are presented within Warrant liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The warrant liabilities were measured at fair value at the closing of the Business Combination and are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within Interest and other income (expense), net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Measurement

The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The measurement of the Public Warrants as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market and the subsequent measurement of the Private Placement Warrants as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are classified Level 3 due to the use of unobservable inputs.



Input	March 31, 2022			December 31, 2021
Risk-free interest rate		2.40	%		1.20	%
Expected term (years)		4.60			4.80
Expected volatility		55.0	%		31.4	%
Stock price	$	2.36		$	7.41

As of March 31, 2022, the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were determined to be $0.23 and $0.26 per warrant, respectively, for aggregate values of approximately $2.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2021, the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were determined to be $1.04 and $1.09 per warrant, respectively, for aggregate values of approximately $11.2 million and $6.6 million, respectively.

The following table presents the changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2022:


			Private		Warrant
Dollars in thousands	Public		Placement		Liabilities
Valuation as of December 31, 2021	$	11,213	$	6,608	$	17,821

Fair value as of March 31, 2022	$	2,480	$	1,576	$	4,056

Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the Private Placement Warrant liability for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

Note 13: Commitments and Contingencies

The Company leases office facilities and certain equipment necessary to maintain its information technology infrastructure. Rent expense, net of sublease income, under its operating lease agreements was $1.0 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company also leases automobiles under finance leases expiring at various dates through September, 2025. Management assesses these leases as they come due as to whether it should purchase, enter into new finance leases, or enter into operating leases.

Legal Matters

The Company is involved from time to time in legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of its business. The Company does not believe that any liability that may result from these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 14: Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was (0.1)% and 25.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Due to the full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets, the tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2022 does not reflect any material tax expense.

Overview

Redbox is an established brand and leading provider in the home entertainment market in the United States. The Company is focused on providing its customers with the best value in entertainment and the most choice in how they consume it, through physical media and/or digital services. Redbox is undergoing a significant business expansion and digital transformation. The Company has transitioned from a pure-play DVD rental company to a multi- faceted entertainment company that provides tremendous value and choice by offering DVD rentals as well as multiple digital products across a variety of content windows including transactional (TVOD), ad-supported (AVOD/FLTV) and being a distributor of feature films with a growing library of original content. Redbox currently conducts its business through two operating segments: (1) Legacy Business and (2) Digital Business.

For its Legacy Business, the Company operates a nationwide network of approximately 38,000 self-service kiosks where consumers can rent or purchase new-release DVDs and Blu-ray Discs^TM (“movies”). The Company also generates service revenue by providing installation, merchandising and break-fix services to other kiosk businesses. Finally, the Company acquires, and distributes movies exclusively through its film distribution label, Redbox Entertainment, LLC, acquiring rights to talent-led films that are distributed across Redbox platforms as well as through third party digital services. For its Digital Business, the Company provides both transactional and ad-supported digital streaming services, which include 1) Redbox On Demand, a transactional service providing digital rental or purchase of new release and catalog movies and TV content, 2) Redbox Free On Demand (AVOD), an ad- supported service providing free movies and TV shows on demand, and 3) Redbox Free Live TV (FLTV), a free, ad-supported television service giving access to over 145 linear channels. The Company also sells third-party display advertising via its mobile app, website, and e-mails, as well as display and digital video advertising at the kiosk.

Due to risks and uncertainties related to the ongoing adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operating results, together with the Company’s recurring operating losses, accumulated deficit and negative working capital, there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. See “Business Update, Going Concern and Strategic Alternatives.”

Redbox Legacy Business

Redbox’s mission has always been to make it ridiculously cheap and easy for customers to get the home entertainment they want. Redbox provides exceptional customer value with new release movie disc rentals priced at approximately $2.00 a night, about one-third of the cost of a digital rental, which are typically $5.99 or more on digital retail platforms. Customers have the flexibility to rent a movie from one location and return their rental to any kiosk. Kiosks are located primarily in retail centers that experience heavy foot traffic, including grocery stores, mass retailers, drug stores, dollar retailers, and convenience stores. With approximately 32,000 locations and more than 150 retail partners, consumers have convenient access to kiosks as part of their routine shopping experiences. Revenue is generated primarily through the fees charged to rent or purchase a movie at the kiosk. In turn, Redbox pays retailers a percentage of the revenue generated at the Redbox kiosks installed at their locations. The Company obtains content through revenue sharing agreements and license agreements with major studios as well as through direct purchases from independent distributors and other suppliers.

Redbox has built a unique asset in its loyalty and rewards program, Redbox Perks, which currently boasts approximately 40 million members. Customers earn points for their rentals or purchases and can use those points for free rentals in the future. This tiered loyalty program gives the Company the ability to reward its most loyal and valuable customers while providing a currency for incenting increased transaction frequency and other behaviors, such as downloading the Redbox app or trying new products and services. Redbox Perks is a vehicle to provide greater value to customers and is central to its marketing and customer strategy. The

program is a differentiator in the market and competitive advantage for Redbox. Redbox’s customers are value-conscious, love movies and entertainment, and tend to be late-adopters of new technology. Given the scale of the existing customer base, the Company has built a sizable marketing program that includes approximately 45 million e-mail subscribers, approximately 5 million SMS subscribers, approximately 45 million mobile app downloads, and nearly 400 million weekly impressions at retail.

To drive further engagement with our customers, Redbox established Redbox Entertainment, LLC as a movie distribution label. Through this label, the Company acquires North American rights and distributes feature films through Redbox kiosks, Redbox On Demand, third party digital transactional platforms and other streaming services. Redbox Entertainment acquires rights to finished films and also commits to slate financing deals for films to be produced, giving the Company input on creative direction. The Company generates gross profit from these films through promotional initiatives on its own platform and by selling downstream window rights to subscription streaming services. Moreover, because the Company acquires long term exclusive rights to these films, Redbox is building a content library which can be used on its Free On Demand (AVOD) and Free Live TV (FLTV) services or further licensed to other streaming platforms in future windows.

In addition, Redbox Entertainment benefits from the Company’s robust rental data that has been accumulated over the years, giving the Company proprietary insights into what titles and talent will perform well on its platforms. The Company has released a number of films since 2019 under the Redbox Entertainment label. The Company has already announced a slate deal with Basil Iwanyk, the producer of the blockbuster John Wick franchise, committing to 12 action/thriller films over the next several years.

Finally, Redbox has a service business, which employs a team of best-in-class field workers nationwide to manage kiosk installation, merchandising and break-fix services. In addition to maintaining Redbox’s kiosk network, the Company’s service team also supports other kiosk businesses. The Company has service agreements with multiple companies that have national and regional kiosk networks and since June of 2020, Redbox has been the primary vendor for Amazon to service their expanding Amazon Hub Locker locations. The service business helps mitigate the costs of the field operations for the Legacy DVD business while generating incremental margin dollars.

Redbox Digital Business

Redbox is rapidly expanding its digital product offering, leveraging its customer and marketing scale to transform the brand. The Company is building a digital ecosystem that consumers can use as a one stop shop for their entertainment needs by engaging with a variety of digital video services within the Redbox app in an integrated, easy-to use format. This simplifies the customer experience, drives multi-product adoption, and minimizes customer churn. These services span multiple business models including transactional, ad-supported, and anticipated in the future, subscription. The Company’s digital products are available to stream across web browsers, mobile devices, and almost every major consumer device, including Roku, Apple TV, Samsung, LG, AndroidTV, VIZIO, Xbox and PlayStation.

In December 2017, the Company launched Redbox On Demand, a digital transactional video-on-demand service (TVOD), allowing customers to rent or buy new release and catalog digital movies and television episodes, with new release prices typically ranging from $5.99 to $24.99 and catalog movies from $1.99 to $3.99, not including any discounts. Since 2020, customers have also been able to digitally rent movies that are still in theaters, which is known as Premium Video-On-Demand (PVOD). Customers pay a transactional fee to rent or buy content while earning Redbox Perks loyalty points every time they transact. Redbox On Demand has seen rapid growth and adoption with nearly 4 million customers since launch. That growth has been fueled primarily though leveraging the Company’s own marketing channels including e-mail and SMS and offering rewards points and other promotional activity to drive digital customer acquisition.

In February 2020, the Company launched Redbox Free Live TV (FLTV), an ad-supported digital linear television service, as a complement to the existing transactional On Demand service. With over 145 linear channels and growing, including five Redbox branded and programmed channels, Free Live TV gives customers the opportunity to channel surf and find content that interests them. A variety of these Redbox- branded channels, are currently syndicated to the Roku Channel, LG Channels and Vizio Watchfree services, which drives greater viewership and revenue. The Company has plans to continue syndicating Redbox programmed channels to additional 3^rd party services.

Redbox launched an ad-supported Free On Demand (AVOD) service in December 2020. AVOD gives consumers complete control over when and what they watch, and combined with Redbox’s growing AVOD library, which has more than 10,000 movies and TV episodes, consumers have a broad amount of content to choose from. The ad-supported services (FLTV and AVOD) have seen strong growth in engagement as new channels and titles are added and awareness of the offering grows.

Finally, Redbox operates a media advertising business which monetizes more than 100 million monthly display and digital video ad-impressions across its mobile app, web, e-mail and kiosk network. The Company drives advertising revenue through a mix of programmatic advertising and direct sales. Direct ad sales for the media above as well as video advertising for Free On Demand and FLTV are driven by both internal sales team and strategic sales partnerships with Screenvision and the Palomino Media Group.

Growth Strategy

Redbox’s transformation into a multi-faceted entertainment company creates multiple areas for future growth. The Company’s expansion into AVOD and our intended eventual expansion into SVOD channels allows Redbox to participate in a very large and rapidly growing market. The Company believes it can create long-term value through its focus on:

Growing multi-product customers. Redbox intends to grow multi-product customers through increasing customer acquisition marketing and spend across streaming device partners, marketing at the kiosk, and other external paid media. To date, the Company has relied primarily on e-mail and SMS channels to drive customer acquisition. Thus, over time, with increased spend and attention via these additional channels, and with more content and services offered, the Company expects to drive greater customer growth. Redbox intends to also drive greater multi-product customer adoption through improved CRM, greater personalization and targeted use of promotions to create more personalized customer funnels to encourage users to trial and adopt other digital services within the Redbox app.

Accelerating AVOD adoption. Redbox projects growth for the Company’s ad-supported service through measured investment to expand the Free Live TV and Free On Demand content offerings. Through increased content volume and improved content quality, the Company expects to drive higher engagement and more hours watched per customer. Further, this improved content is expected to drive an increase in customers, accelerating the business while maintaining a reasonable customer acquisition cost.

Ramping Content Acquisition. Redbox Entertainment drives additional revenue in two ways. First, it provides more content for Redbox kiosks, On Demand and the ad-supported offerings; secondly, it generates revenue from distribution and licensing to other streaming platforms. The Company expects to ramp the number of Redbox Entertainment branded releases to 36 a year over time. The number of releases will naturally ramp as committed titles complete production and are delivered and the pipeline continues to grow.

Launching SVOD channels platform. As part of its long-term growth strategy, the Company’s intended launch of Redbox’s SVOD channels service will become another meaningful revenue stream. Redbox would act as the merchant of record, collecting 100% of the subscription revenue before paying the SVOD channel owner’s revenue share. By providing access to multiple SVOD channel options, customers could easily subscribe to one or more SVOD services all within the Redbox app, and Redbox could merchandise the third party SVOD content and service via the approximately 45 million Redbox app downloads on mobile devices, streaming media players, game consoles, and connected televisions.

Impact of COVID-19 and Emerging Industry Trends

In March 2020, the World Health Organization recognized the novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, as a pandemic. Public and private sector policies and initiatives to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 varied significantly across the United States. Throughout 2021, a significant percentage of the U.S. population was subject to meaningful restrictions on activities, which included limitations on the operation of non-essential businesses including retail operations, requirements that individuals remain in or close to their homes, school closures, theater closures, limitations on large gatherings, travel restrictions and other policies to promote or enforce physical distancing. These restrictions not only impacted how the Company’s customers used its products and services but also affected content production, release and distribution. As a result of these restrictions, many consumers subscribed to additional streaming services to satisfy their content needs as the number of new release movies, released theatrically and through home entertainment, decreased by more than 50% in both 2020 and 2021 compared with 2019, which had 140 theatrical titles. During 2020 and 2021, the Company experienced a decline in physical movie rentals, due in part to a significant decline in new movie releases and theater closures along with governmental and retail store restrictions. The Company’s On Demand transactional offering is also dependent on new releases, albeit at a lesser level than the physical business as the On Demand platform has a larger catalog offering. Beginning in the second half of 2020, the growth potential of Redbox On Demand was negatively impacted by fewer new releases and changes in release strategy by studios throughout the pandemic.

Starting late in 2021 and into the first quarter of 2022, the U.S. population experienced a wave of illness brought on by a variant of COVID-19, widely referred to as the Omicron variant. During the peak holiday rental season as content started to release at Redbox, the variant began to spread amongst the population, again impacting customer rental behavior. The disruptions from

Omicron, including additional delays of productions and movie releases by studios, further drove periods of no new releases and resulted in studios exploring and pursuing alternative release strategies for their films, including straight to streaming services, day-and-date releases, and PVOD releases.

As a result of temporary theater closures during the COVID-19 pandemic, studios and content producers either delayed the release of movies into future periods or experimented with alternative release strategies which altered the typical release strategy for new movies. One alternative release method, was to sell movies directly to subscription services for exclusive release on their respective platforms. As a result, these titles were not available through a traditional transactional On Demand window, thus leading to fewer new release titles available to the Company. However, as studios continue to evolve their window release strategies, more and more studios are retaining their home entertainment distribution rights despite the initial sale of a title to a streaming service. This allows Redbox to make the movie available for rental through the kiosk and possibly On Demand at a later date. The Company expects studios to sell titles directly to streaming services from time to time, but it may be less likely going forward with the reopening of theatrical exhibitors and the opportunity to achieve higher returns for both studios and artists. The Company is further mitigating the impact of titles sold exclusively to subscription services by building out a library of content via its Redbox Entertainment label. Redbox Entertainment titles are available physically and digitally on Redbox platforms and are monetized across other platforms.

The second alternative release strategy that emerged, known as a day-and-date release, is a simultaneous release on a studio’s own digital platform as well as a theatrical release to provide optionality to those customers who are not ready to return to the theater. This shared window strategy can negatively impact the physical rental performance of a title as most of these titles release at a later date at the kiosk and transactionally on Redbox On Demand in a subsequent window. Studios who have previously released titles on streaming services on the same date as in theatres in 2021 have announced plans to return to theatrical windows of 45 to 90 days, before these titles go to home entertainment; however, studios continue to experiment with timing of releases on their owned and operated platforms which may continue to negatively impact Redbox’s ability to monetize future titles.

The third alternative release is known as premium video on demand or “PVOD” which creates an early transactional window for an at-home digital theatrical release at a higher price point, typically $19.99. The PVOD releases provided consumers a way to watch new releases at home while theaters remain shuttered. Redbox On Demand participates in and benefits from PVOD releases as it provides an early window option to Redbox customers at higher price points.

The Company expects studios to return to a more normal release slate as COVID-19 restrictions continue to ease due to the relationship with theatrical exhibitors and the draw of higher margin potential. Nevertheless, a number of titles continue to shift back further in 2022 and into 2023. In the first quarter of 2022, Redbox experienced intermittent periods of no new releases causing inconsistency in titles available at Redbox kiosks and on the Redbox On Demand platform, impacting rental performance. The Company expects new release content to build back up throughout 2022 as the pandemic subsides. This expectation is based on known titles delayed from 2020 and 2021, which are planned for release in 2022 and 2023.

The Company will continue to build out its digital offerings on both linear and on demand ad-supported to provide more options for customers to consume content at varying price points including free with ads. The Company believes that the complement of digital services creates greater utility to its customers and makes the offering more competitive relative to more focused streamers, while also reducing the reliance on content in a single content window.

Business Update, Going Concern and Strategic Alternatives

series of restructuring actions and initiatives to improve its efficiency and reduce its cost structure, including, but not limited to, (i) optimizing its kiosk network and (ii) executing a workforce reduction across its supply chain and corporate teams. However, the risks and uncertainties related to the ongoing adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operating results, together with the Company’s recurring operating losses, accumulated deficit and negative working capital, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

On April 15, 2022 certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into the Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement No. 6, amending its Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”), pursuant to which the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement) will make available to certain subsidiaries of the Company Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Commitments (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in an aggregate amount equal to $50.0 million subject to certain conditions, the proceeds of which will be used to make payments in accordance with the Budget Plan (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and pay certain fees and expenses. From April 15, 2022 until the Signing Deadline Date, borrowings under the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility (as defined in the Credit Agreement) were limited to no more than $15.0 million in the aggregate. During April 2022, the Company borrowed the available $15.0 million under its Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility. Pursuant to the Sixth Amendment, additional borrowings of $35.0 million under its Sixth Amendment Incremental Facility would become available if, by no later than May 10, 2022 (the “Signing Deadline Date”), the Company entered into a valid and binding definitive purchase agreement for the sale of all or substantially all of the assets, or all of the equity interests of the Company (the “Company Sale”), and which purchase agreement either (i) provided for the payment in full (principal and interest) of the Senior Facilities other than the Term B-2 Loans or (ii) otherwise was in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company Sale shall be consummated no later than October 31, 2022. The details of the Sixth Amendment are discussed in further detail in Note 6: Debt in Redbox’s Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

As a further condition to the Sixth Amendment, the Company issued to HPS Investment Partners, LLC (administrative agent and collateral agent to the Credit Agreement) and certain affiliates (as defined in the Credit Agreement) warrants with an exercise price of $0.0001 per share (the “HPS Warrants”) to purchase 11,416,700 shares of Class A common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) in the event certain milestones were not met under the Amended Credit Agreement. Upon signing of the CSSE merger agreement, the HPS Warrants became void and all rights of the warrant holders thereunder to exercise the HPS Warrants ceased. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
