3.       Representations and Warranties of Investor. Each Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company, severally and not jointly, that:

 

(a)       Authorization. The Investor has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement. This Agreement to which the Investor is a party, when executed and delivered by the Investor, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with their terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

 

(b)       Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with the Investor in reliance upon the Investor’s representation to the Company, which by the Investor’s execution of this Agreement, the Investor hereby confirms, that the Note and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion thereof (collectively, the “Securities”) to be acquired by the Investor will be acquired for investment for the Investor’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, the Investor further represents that the Investor does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to any of the Securities. The Investor has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities.

The Investor has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management, financial affairs and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities with the Company’s management and has had an opportunity to review the Company’s facilities.

(d)       Restricted Securities. The Investor understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the accuracy of the Investor’s representations as expressed herein. The Investor understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Investor must hold the Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the SEC and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Investor further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, in the case of a public resale and depending upon whether the Investor is an “affiliate” of the Company, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Securities, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Investor’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

 

- 12 -

 

 

(e)        No Public Market. The Investor understands that no public market now exists for the Securities, and that, other than as set forth in the Company’s filings with the SEC, the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Securities.

 

(f)        Legends. The Investor understands that the Securities and any securities issued in respect of or exchange for the Securities, may be notated with the following legend until the Securities or such securities, as applicable, (i) have been registered for issuance to, or resale by, the Investor (ii) have been or are being sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (as set forth in customary paperwork to such effect delivered to the Company) or (iii) may be sold by the Investor without limitation pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (as set forth in customary non-affiliate paperwork to such effect delivered to the Company) (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”):

 

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.”

 

The Company shall cause the foregoing legend to promptly be removed from the Securities or other securities if any of the Unrestricted Conditions is satisfied in respect thereof.

 

(h)       Accredited Investor. The Investor is an institutional accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), (7), or (8) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

(i)         Foreign Investors. If the Investor is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), the Investor hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Securities.

The Investor is not controlled by a “foreign person,” as defined in the DPA. The Investor does not permit any foreign person affiliated with the Investor, whether affiliated as a limited partner or otherwise, to obtain through the Investor any of the following with respect to the Company: (1) access to any “material nonpublic technical information” (as defined in the DPA) in the possession of the Company; (2) membership or observer rights on the Board of Directors or equivalent governing body of the Company or the right to nominate an individual to a position on the Board of Directors or equivalent governing body of the Company; (3) any involvement, other than through the voting of shares, in the substantive decision-making of the Company regarding (x) the use, development, acquisition, or release of any “critical technology” (as defined in the DPA), (y) the use, development, acquisition, safekeeping, or release of “sensitive personal data” (as defined in the DPA) of U.S. citizens maintained or collected by the Company, or (z) the management, operation, manufacture, or supply of “covered investment critical infrastructure” (as defined in the DPA); or (4) “control” of the Company (as defined in the DPA).

Litigation

 

1.        Utah Division of Consumer Protection Investigation:

 

On January 5, 2024, the Company received notice that the Utah Division of Consumer Protection was investigating a complaint regarding the Company’s “Pay It Forward” program. The complaint alleged that the Pay It Forward program may violate the Charitable Solicitations Act and that the Company has made misleading statements in soliciting contributions to the program and has not used the contributions to purchase movie tickets. The Company met with the investigator in early February 2024. The investigator served follow-up requests for documents on February 12, 2024, including a request for a full financial accounting of the program. The Company responded to these requests in March and April 2024. The investigation remains pending.

KELY JOHANA SUAREZ MOYA and LUZ MIRIAM MOYA SOLANO, Plaintiffs, v. TIMOTHY BALLARD; OPERATION UNDERGROUND RAILROAD, INC.; ANGEL STUDIOS, INC.; SOUND OF FREEDOM MOVIE, LLC; ALEJANDRO MONTEVERDE; HARMON BROTHERS MARKETING LLC; JANET RUSSON; ROD BARR; THE SPEAR FUND; Case No. 240901556, Utah Third District Court. Plaintiff Kely Johana Suarez Moya filed suit in February 2024 alleging that she was falsely depicted as a sex trafficker in the movie Sound of Freedom. Plaintiff and her mother assert claims against the filmmakers and the Company, the film distributor, for defamation, injurious falsehood, intentional interference with economic relations, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress, false light invasion of privacy, and misappropriation of name and likeness.

3.        Lazarus Arbitration:

 

ALAN M. LAZARUS v. ANGEL STUDIOS, INC., American Arbitration Association, Case No. 01-24-0004-5546. Claimant Alan M. Lazarus, a subscriber to the Angel Guild, filed an arbitration demand with AAA on May 3, 2024. The arbitration demand asserts that the Company violated the federal Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA) when it shared Mr. Lazarus’ personally identifiable information (PII) to the Company’s third-party data processing partners (Braze, Segment.io, and Bugsnag) without his consent. Mr. Lazarus seeks statutory damages in the amount of $2,500 per violation, plus fees and costs. The Company responded to the arbitration demand on June 12, 2024. The parties engaged in settlement discussions on June 17, 2024. Mr. Lazarus’s counsel seeks information regarding the number of subscribers to the Company’s app and has threatened to file additional arbitration demands for such subscribers. The parties have since settled the litigation for an immaterial amount.
