Amendment Description	The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment") to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2022 (the "Form 10-Q"), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 14, 2022, is solely to correct a numeric typographical error in the table entitled "Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information" as it pertains to the Merger with Redbox Entertainment Inc. in Note 4 to the financial statements contained therein. Specifically, the line item "Net Loss" in the table contained in the previously filed 10-Q read "$(15,492,821)" for the Three months ended September 30, 2022. The correct number is "$(57,047,000)." This typographical error does not affect any other financial or other information in the 10-Q. This Amendment makes no other changes to the Form 10-Q as filed with the SEC on November 14, 2022 and no attempt has been made in this Amendment to modify or update the other disclosures presented in the Form 10-Q. This Amendment does not reflect subsequent events occurring after the original filing of the Form 10-Q (i.e., those events occurring after November 14, 2022) or modify or update in any way those disclosures that may be affected by subsequent events. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-Q as filed with the SEC on November 14, 2022.
