Risks Related

to Our Operations

We may experience significant fluctuations

in our operating results and growth rate, which could adversely affect our performance and financial results.

Our revenue growth may

not be sustainable, and our percentage growth rates may decrease.

Our revenue and operating profit growth depend on the continued

growth of demand for our products, and our business is affected by general political, economic and business conditions worldwide.

Our business, our employees and our partners may also be negatively affected by political or social unrest including potential

reputational damage, disruption of our physical facilities or those of our wholesale partners, and boycotts by employees or boycotts

against us, our suppliers, our wholesale partners and our advertising partners.

A softening of demand, whether caused by changes

in customer confidence or preferences or a weakening of the U.S.

or global economies, may result in decreased revenue or growth.

In addition, we rely

on estimates and forecasts of our expenses and revenues to provide guidance and inform our business strategies, and some of our

past estimates and forecasts have not been accurate.

The rapidly evolving nature of our business makes forecasting operating results

If we fail to accurately forecast our expenses and revenues, our business, prospects, financial condition and results

of operations may suffer, and the value of our business may decline.

If our estimates and forecasts prove incorrect, we may not

be able to adjust our operations quickly enough to respond to lower-than-expected sales or higher-than-expected expenses.

You should consider

our business in light of the risks and difficulties we may encounter, as described above and elsewhere in this “Risk Factors”

If we fail to address the risks and difficulties that we face, our business and operating results will be adversely affected.

We have a limited operating history

in an evolving industry and, as a result, our past results may not be indicative of future operating performance.

We are a rapidly growing

business with a limited operating history.

Our relatively limited operating history makes it difficult to assess our future performance.

We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly

developing and changing industries, including inconsistent financial results, challenges in forecasting accuracy, determining appropriate

investments of our limited resources, market acceptance of our products and services and future products and services, competition

from new and established companies, including those with greater financial and technical resources, enhancing our products and

services and developing new products and services.

For the year ended December 31,

2020, we had net income of $10.9 million and in 2019 we incurred a net loss of ($12.4) million.

In 2020, we generated $81.3

million of operating cash flow and ended the year with working capital of $96.9 million and an accumulated deficit of $4.6 million.

In 2019, we generated $22.9 million of operating cash flow and ended the year with working capital of $27.3 million and

an accumulated deficit of $8.3 million.

We need continued positive cash flow from operations and additional capital to execute

our business plan and growth initiatives.

If we are unable to satisfy our liquidity and capital resource requirements our business

could become adversely affected.

Lack of availability and quality

of raw materials could cause and has caused delays that could result in our inability to provide goods to our customers or could

increase our costs, either of which could decrease our earnings.

In manufacturing products,

we use various commodity components, such as polyurethane foam, oil, our spring units, ingredients for our Hyper-Elastic Polymer material,

our water-based adhesive and other raw materials.

Because we are dependent on outside suppliers for our raw materials, lack of

availability, and quality could have a negative effect on our cost of sales and our ability to meet our customers’ demands.

Competitive and marketing pressures may prevent us from passing along price increases to our customers, and the inability to meet

our customers’ demands could cause us to lose sales.

Some components, such

as foam and spring units, are widely used in our industry.

Shortages in such components, due to any reason including increase in

demand, weather events, supply chain difficulties within the supplier or otherwise, could adversely affect our production capacity

and financial results.

Related to Our Operations

We have in the past experienced and may in the future

experience significant fluctuations in our operating results and growth rate, which could make our future results of operations difficult

to predict or cause our results of operations to fall below analysts’ and investors’ expectations.

Our quarterly and annual results of operations

have fluctuated in the past and we expect our future results of operations to fluctuate due to a variety of factors, many of which are

beyond our control.

Fluctuations in our results of operations could cause our performance to fall below the expectations of analysts and

investors, and adversely affect the price of our common stock.

Because our business is changing and evolving rapidly, our historical results

of operations may not be necessarily indicative of our future results of operations.

Factors that may cause our results of operations

to fluctuate include, but are not limited to, the following:

● disruptions

or delays in our production and shipping of our products;

in our manufacturing equipment;

chain constraints, including the availability of raw materials in a timely manner;

of employee recruiting and retention;

in the pricing or availability of advertising;

in our capital expenditures;

related to acquisitions or businesses or technologies and development of new products;

introduction of new technologies or products by our competitors;

in demand for our products, whether caused by changes in customer confidence or preferences or a weakening of the U.S.

or global economies;

political, economic and business conditions worldwide, including political or social unrest;

of our physical facilities or those of our wholesale partners due to social unrest or other issues;

impact of natural disasters on our manufacturing facilities and supply chain.

In addition, we rely on estimates and

forecasts of our expenses and revenues to provide guidance and inform our business strategies, and some of our past estimates and forecasts

have not been accurate.

The evolving nature of our business makes forecasting operating results difficult.

If we fail to accurately forecast

our expenses and revenues, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations may suffer, and the value of our business

If our estimates and forecasts prove incorrect, we may not be able to adjust our operations quickly enough to respond to

lower-than-expected sales which, for example, could result in higher than anticipated inventory levels, or higher-than-expected expenses

which, for example, could be the result of building excess capacity.

Based upon the factors above and others

beyond our control, we have a limited ability to forecast our future revenue, costs and expenses.

If we fail to meet or exceed the operating

results expectations of analysts and investors or if analysts and investors have estimates and forecasts of our future performance that

are unrealistic or that we do not meet, the market price of our common stock could decline.

In addition, if one or more of the analysts

who cover us adversely change their recommendation regarding our stock, the market price of our common stock could decline.

companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities litigation.

We may be the

target of this type of litigation in the future, which could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention from

other business concerns.

You should consider our business in light of the risks and difficulties we may

encounter, as described above and elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section.

If we fail to address the risks and difficulties

that we face, our business and operating results will be adversely affected.

components, such as foam and spring units, are widely used in our industry.

Shortages in such components, due to any reason including

increase in demand, weather events, supply chain difficulties within the supplier or otherwise, could adversely affect our production

capacity and financial results.

If we were unable to obtain raw materials and components from suppliers, we would have to find replacement

Any new arrangements for raw materials and components might not be on favorable terms, if we are able to enter into

new arrangements at all.

If a supplier for a component failed to supply such component in required amounts this could significantly

interrupt production and increase costs.

The growth of our business places

significant strain on our resources and if we are unable to manage our growth, we may not have profitable operations or sufficient

capital resources.

We are rapidly and significantly

expanding our operations, including expanding our workforce, increasing our product offerings and scaling our infrastructure to

support expansion of our manufacturing capacity, our wholesale channel expansion and the opening of our Company showrooms.

planned growth includes increasing our manufacturing capacity, developing and introducing new products and developing new and broader

distribution channels, including wholesale and Company showrooms, and extending our global reach to other countries.

This expansion

increases the complexity of our business and places significant strain on our management, personnel, operations, systems, technical

performance, financial resources, and internal financial control and reporting functions.

Our continued success

depends, in part, upon our ability to manage and expand our operations and facilities and production capacity in the face of continued

The growth in our operations has placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on our management and operational

and financial infrastructure.

If we do not manage our growth effectively, the quality of our products and fulfillment capabilities

may suffer which could adversely affect our operating results.

Our revenue growth may not be sustainable, and our percentage growth

rates may decrease.

If we are unable to satisfy our liquidity and capital resource requirements, we may have to scale back, postpone

or discontinue our growth strategies, which could result in slower growth or no growth, and we may run the risk of losing key suppliers,

we may not be able to timely satisfy customer orders, and we may not be able to retain our employees.

In addition, we may be forced

to restructure our obligations to creditors or pursue work-out options.

Our growth depends in

part on our ability to manage the opening and operating of new production facilities and our Company showrooms which will require

our entering into leases and other obligations while the success of expanding operations geographically.

To be successful, we will

need to obtain or develop retail expertise and we will need to hire new employees in states that may have employment laws that

Any new arrangements for raw materials and components might not be on favorable terms, if we are able to enter into new arrangements

If a supplier for a component failed to supply such component in required amounts this could significantly interrupt production

and increase costs.

if we are able to obtain raw materials and other production inputs in a timely manner, supply chain constraints, inflation, and other

factors may increase the costs of shipping, raw materials, labor, and other production and operational resources.

We have experienced

and expect to continue to experience increases in the cost of core materials and labor needed to manufacture our products.

increases could adversely impact our production capacity and efficiency and reduce our gross margins and earnings.

ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including measures taken in response by governments and businesses worldwide to contain its spread, and general

economic conditions have adversely impacted and are expected to continue to adversely impact global supply chain, manufacturing, and

logistics operations.

Shipping and freight costs and delays have also been increasing as port closures, port congestion, and shipping

container and ship shortages have increased.

To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic and other events result in continuation or worsening

of manufacturing and shipping delays and constraints, our suppliers of raw materials and other components may have difficulty obtaining

and providing the materials we require to manufacture our products or may increase the costs of such materials, which could adversely

affect our earnings and our ability to acquire and maintain adequate inventory and meet demand for our products.

Any significant delay

or interruption in our supply chain, or our inability to obtain substitute components or materials from alternate sources at acceptable

prices in a timely manner, could impair our ability to meet the demand of our customers and could harm our business.

The COVID-19 pandemic

also disrupted our relationship with employees as a result of furloughs, government programs that resulted in employees not returning

to work, higher wages paid by competing employers incentivizing our employees to leave, and an increased general demand for labor.

previous growth of our business placed significant strain on our resources and if we are unable to manage future growth, we may not have

profitable operations or sufficient capital resources.

If we do not manage growth effectively, the quality of our products and fulfillment capabilities may suffer which could adversely affect

our operating results.

Our revenue growth may not be sustainable, and our percentage growth rates may decrease.

If we are unable to satisfy

our liquidity and capital resource requirements, we may have to scale back, postpone or discontinue our growth strategies, which could

result in slower growth, no growth, or shrinking, and we may run the risk of losing key suppliers, we may not be able to timely satisfy

customer orders, and we may not be able to retain our employees.

In addition, we may be forced to restructure our obligations to creditors

or pursue work-out options.

Our growth depends in part on our ability to manage the opening and operating of

new production facilities and Purple retail showrooms, which will require our entering into leases and other obligations.

To be successful,

we will need to continue developing retail expertise and we will need to hire new employees in states that may have employment laws that

could increase our expenses.

In general, operating new production facilities and opening our Company showrooms in new locations

exposes us to laws in other states, including California, that may not be as employer-friendly as those in which we currently operate,

and may expose us to new liabilities.

If we are not able to successfully manage the process of expanding operations geographically,

opening our Company showrooms and maintaining operations in an expanding number of facilities and Company showrooms, we may have

to close Company showrooms and incur sunk costs and continuing obligations that could put a strain upon our resources, damage our

brand and reputation and limit our growth.

To manage our growth

effectively, we will need to continue to implement operational, financial and management controls and reporting systems and procedures

and improve the systems and procedures that are currently in place.

There is no assurance that we will be able to fulfill our staffing

requirements for our business, successfully train and assimilate new employees, or expand our management base and enhance our operating

and financial systems.

Failure to achieve any of these goals will prevent us from managing our growth in an effective manner and

could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

In addition, a softening of

demand, whether caused by changes in customer preferences or a weakening of the U.S.

or global economies, may result in decreased

revenue or growth.

In general, operating new facilities and opening Purple retail showrooms in new locations exposes us to laws

Further, we may not be able to accurately forecast our growth rate.

We base our expense levels and investment

plans on sales estimates.

A significant portion of our expenses and investments is fixed, and we may not be able to adjust our

spending quickly enough if our sales are less than expected.

We have identified a

need for improved processes and procedures to avoid delays in the timely delivery of our mattress products and to improve the customer’s

Also, we have experienced rapid growth in our employee base, and the need to implement processes and procedures for

improving employee training and retention.

Competition for employees where our production facilities are located also has increased

the costs for employee retention.

We have implemented improved processes and procedures in an environment of continuous change,

but our use of resources may not be as effective as intended or we may need to apply more resources than expected to continue to

make changes to improve our employee retention and effectiveness and the quality of our products and services over time.

In connection with the

development and expansion of our business, we expect to incur significant capital and operational expenses.

We believe that we

can increase our sales and net income by implementing a growth strategy that focuses on (i) increasing our manufacturing capacity,

Disruption of operations in our manufacturing

costs of doing business or lead to delays in shipping our products and could materially adversely affect our operating results and our

ability to grow our business.

have three manufacturing plants, which are located in Alpine, Utah, Grantsville, Utah, and McDonough, Georgia.

In the future we may also

enter into leases for additional manufacturing plants.

The disruption of operations

of our manufacturing facilities for a significant period of time, or even permanently, or disruptions to the planned further build-out

of the Georgia facility such as due to a closure related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the loss or expiration of a lease or mechanical failures

in our manufacturing equipment, may increase our costs of doing business and lead to delays in manufacturing and shipping our products

to customers and could materially and adversely affect our operating results and our ability to grow our business.

In addition, the occurrence

of workplace injuries or other industrial accidents at one or more of our manufacturing plants has required, and may require in the future,

that we suspend production or modify our operations, which could lead to delays in manufacturing and shipping our products to customers.

Likewise, acts of workplace violence may require us to temporarily suspend production or modify our operations.

Such delays could adversely

affect our sales, customer satisfaction, profitability, cash flows, liquidity and financial condition.

Because two of our currently operating

manufacturing plants are located within the same geographic region, regional economic downturns, natural disasters, closures due to COVID-19,

the unavailability of utilities as a result of climate events or otherwise, or other issues could potentially disrupt a significant portion

of our manufacturing and other operating activities, which could adversely affect our business.

Our Utah facilities are near earthquake

fault lines and our Georgia facility is located in an area that may be subject to hurricanes;

such natural disasters in these areas could

disrupt manufacturing and other operating activities, which could adversely affect our business.

Any disruption of our operations,

and related impacts on our operating results, could also adversely affect the market price of our Class A Stock, which could result in

securities litigation.

Such litigation could result in substantial costs, divert resources and the attention of management from our core

business, and adversely affect our business.

Our manufacturing processes involve the

use of heavy machinery and equipment, which exposes us to potentially significant financial losses and reputational harm due to workplace

injuries or industrial accidents that may occur at our facilities.

manufacturing processes involve the use of heavy machinery and equipment and are subject to risks involving workplace injuries, mechanical

failures, and industrial accidents, including, among other things, personal injury or death resulting from such incidents at our manufacturing

A workplace accident, mechanical failure, industrial accident or any similar problem involving any one or more of our facilities

has required, and may require in the future, that we suspend production at one or more of our manufacturing plants, which could lead to

delays in manufacturing and shipping our products and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

The occurrence of such

incidents, or any perceived insufficiency in our response to any such deficiency or problem, could also adversely and materially affect

our reputation, and negatively impact the market price of our Class A Stock.

If we are unable to meet workplace safety standards or, if

our employees or customers perceive us having a poor safety record, it could materially impact our ability to attract and retain new employees

and our reputation with our customers could suffer, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

2021, we experienced an incident involving our manufacturing equipment that resulted in the death of one of our employees.

we shut down our manufacturing equipment while we evaluated the safety of our manufacturing equipment and identified and implemented safety

improvements.

In addition, once safety improvements were implemented and manufacturing resumed, we experienced unanticipated

mechanical and maintenance issues while ramping up to normal production.

These delays in production limited our ability to fill

customer orders, which has adversely affected our financial results and relationships with customers, including wholesale partners delaying

when they started ordering products again and not yet ordering to levels we have anticipated.

Other incidents could result in further

production delays, which could adversely affect our operating performance and reputation with our customers.

While we have lowered our

risk of future safety incidents by committing significant financial resources and time to implementing safety improvements, these safety

improvements may cause our production output to decrease and could materially adversely affect our operating results and our ability to

grow our business.

occurrence of such incidents has resulted in and could in the future result in investigations by or the imposition of fines from regulatory

authorities or require us to implement corrective actions to address the causes of such incidents, which could require the expenditure

of significant resources and may adversely affect our financial condition and operations.

Further, the occurrence of such incidents may

result in litigation, including personal injury or workers’ compensation claims, as well as securities litigation resulting from

any related impact on the market price of our Class A Stock, which could also adversely affect our financial condition and reputation.

While we maintain insurance coverage for certain types of losses, such insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover all losses that

may need additional capital to execute our business plan and fund operations and may not be able to obtain such capital on acceptable

terms or at all.

connection with the development and expansion of our business, we expect to incur significant capital and operational expenses.

(vi) engaging

global partners to improve distribution efficiencies and cost savings;

(vi) engaging global partners to improve distribution efficiencies

and (vii) product assortment and category expansion.

Our ability to obtain

other capital resources and sources of liquidity may not be sufficient to support future growth strategies.

If we are unable to

satisfy our liquidity and capital resource requirements, we may have to scale back, postpone or discontinue our growth strategies,

which could result in slower growth or no growth, and we may run the risk of losing key suppliers, we may not be able to timely

satisfy customer orders, and we may not be able to retain our employees.

In addition, we may be forced to restructure our obligations

to creditors, pursue work-out options or other protective measures.

While we have access

to a $55 million revolving credit facility under the 2020 Credit Agreement, our ability to access such funds is subject to certain

In order to avoid a breach of such covenants and related default, on February 28, 2022, prior to the covenant compliance certification

date under the 2020 Credit Agreement, we entered into the first amendment of the 2020 Credit Agreement.

The amendment contains a covenant

waiver period such that the net leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio will not be tested for the fiscal quarter ended December

31, 2021 through the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Other changes in the amendment include modification of leverage ratio and fixed

charge coverage definitions and thresholds, the addition of minimum liquidity requirements with mandatory prepayments of the revolving

loan if cash exceeds $25.0 million, new weekly and monthly reporting requirements, limits on the amount of capital expenditures, including

expenditures for acquisition of other businesses or technologies, the addition of a lease incurrence test for opening additional showrooms,

and additional negative covenants during a covenant amendment period that will extend into 2023 until certain conditions are met.

the interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the 2020 Credit Agreement changed from LIBOR to secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”).

To the extent that future or additional

waivers and amendments are necessary, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to obtain waivers or further amendments from the

lenders under the 2020 Credit Agreement if, in the future, we are unable to comply with the covenants and other terms of the 2020 Credit

Our failure to satisfy the required conditions under the amendment or maintain compliance with the financial and performance

covenants under the 2020 Credit Agreement could result in a default, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results

Even if we do identify opportunities to acquire businesses, we may not be able to consummate such

in our Credit Agreement on our ability to make acquisitions.

acquisitions involve numerous risks and uncertainties and may be of businesses in which we lack operational or market experience.

financing for any of these acquisitions could dilute the interests of our stockholders, result in an increase in our indebtedness or both.

Future acquisitions could entail numerous risks, including:

● difficulties in integrating

acquired operations or products;

● the difficulties of imposing

financial and operating controls on the acquired companies and their management and the potential costs of doing so;

● the potential loss of key employees,

customers, suppliers or distributors from acquired businesses and disruption to our direct selling channel;

● diversion of management’s

attention from our core business;

● the failure to achieve the strategic

objectives of these acquisitions;

● increased fixed costs;

● the failure of the acquired

businesses to achieve the results we have projected in either the near or long term;

● the assumption of unexpected

liabilities, including litigation risks;

● adverse effects on existing

business relationships with our suppliers, sales force or consumers;

● risks associated with entering

markets or industries in which we have limited or no prior experience, including limited expertise in running the business, developing

the technology, and selling and servicing the products.

federal government,

states and many local jurisdictions have issued at various times, and others in the future may issue, “shelter-in-place”

orders, quarantines, executive orders and similar government orders, restrictions, and recommendations for their residents to control

the spread of COVID-19.

Such orders, restrictions and recommendations, and the perception that additional orders, restrictions

or recommendations could occur, have resulted in widespread closures of businesses not deemed “essential,” work stoppages,

slowdowns and delays, work-from-home policies, travel restrictions and cancellation of events, as well as increased volatility

in stock prices, among other effects.

While certain jurisdictions may ease restrictions, we cannot be certain that other jurisdictions

will do so or that eased restrictions are permanent.

Furthermore, many jurisdictions have experienced a resurgence in COVID-19

cases, which has prompted governments to reinstate previously scaled back restrictions.

If other jurisdictions experience a resurgence

in COVID-19 cases, they may also prolong restrictions or adopt additional restrictions that could negatively affect our business,

including, but not limited to, requiring us to close our manufacturing facilities.

In addition, policies in the United States regarding

all forfeitures occurring from departing employees have inured to the benefit of only the owners of InnoHold, and not all of our

stockholders.

This means that the forfeited equity did not increase our currently approved equity incentive pool.

Because the forfeited

equity resulting from these departures prior to this distribution was held at InnoHold, that forfeited equity did not replenish

our equity incentive pool and could not be used for equity grants to those who have replaced and will replace these employees or

for other purposes essential to the business.

During 2019, to avoid future forfeitures from inuring only to the benefit of InnoHold’s

owners, InnoHold distributed to the incentive participants their pro rata share of InnoHold’s ownership of shares of Class B

common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Class B Stock”) in Purple Inc.

in Purple LLC, after which any forfeitures would inure to the benefit of all of our stockholders.

In addition, the calculations of the distributive share and related income tax withholdings with respect

to holders of InnoHold’s Class B Units, as well as the processes by which such distributions and withholdings are made,

are highly complex.

Disruption of operations in our manufacturing

facilities, including as a result of pandemics or natural disasters, could increase our costs of doing business or lead to delays

in shipping our products.

We have two manufacturing

plants, which are located in Alpine, Utah and Grantsville, Utah.

We began operations on March 3, 2021 at a third manufacturing

plant in McDonough, Georgia that manufactures and distributes products.

In the future we may also enter into leases for additional

manufacturing plants.

Although we can produce

some of our products at both Utah sites, we have consolidated production of certain products at each site.

Therefore, the disruption

of operations of our manufacturing facilities, particularly where manufacturing has been consolidated, for a significant period

of time, or even permanently, or disruptions to the scheduled build-out of the Georgia facility such as through a closure related

to the COVID-19 pandemic or the loss of the lease, may increase our costs of doing business and lead to delays in shipping our

products to customers.

Such delays could adversely affect our sales, customer satisfaction, profitability, cash flows, liquidity

and financial condition.

Because both of our currently operating manufacturing plants are located within the same geographic region,

regional economic downturns, natural disasters, closures due to COVID-19 or other issues could potentially disrupt all of our manufacturing

and other operating activities, which could adversely affect our business.

On March 18, 2020, Magna, Utah was the epicenter

of a 5.7 magnitude earthquake that was felt approximately 20 miles away at our Grantsville, Utah manufacturing plant but not felt

at our Alpine, Utah manufacturing plant.

Since that date, there have been approximately one-thousand aftershocks.

Though no damage

occurred at either manufacturing plant from the 5.7 earthquake or its aftershocks, continued or increased earthquake activity in

If our financial statements are not accurate, investors may not have a complete understanding of our

Likewise, if our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations

In either case, this could result

in a material adverse effect on our business.

Failure to timely file will cause us to be ineligible to utilize short form registration

statements on Form S-3, which may impair our ability to obtain capital in a timely fashion to execute our business strategies or issue

shares to effect an acquisition.

Ineffective internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial

information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

In addition, we may face potential for litigation

or other disputes which may include, among others, claims invoking the federal and state securities laws, contractual claims or other

Regulatory and Litigation Risks

We may not be eligible to participate

in some of the relief programs provided under the recently adopted Coronavirus Aid Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, the

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, or other government programs and even if we are eligible we may not realize any material

In the event we are able to participate in such programs, our

participation may impose additional restrictions on our business that could adversely affect our business and our ability to respond

to the changing economic environment.

In addition, previously adopted government programs designed to provide assistance to businesses

and consumers may not be sufficient and further assistance may not be provided and the U.S.

with the approval of our independent directors, Purple LLC entered into a License Transfer and IP Assignment Agreement with EdiZONE

with such assignment, we agreed to indemnify EdiZONE against claims by Intellibed against EdiZONE relating to EdiZONE’s breach

under the Intellibed License Agreement, if any, future claims arising out of the execution of the EdiZONE Agreement, or Purple

LLC’s ownership, enforcement or breach of the Intellibed License Agreement.

As a result of the EdiZONE Agreement, Intellibed

the right to continue to sell mattress, topper and pillow products using the same trademarks required by the license to be used

with such products and to benefit from all equity in those brands.

Under the Intellibed

License Agreement, Intellibed is licensed the right to use technology we do not use in our products or to make our products.

licensed technology allows Intellibed to make a certain type of hollow buckling cushioning structure from elastomeric material,

which Intellibed uses in its own mattress, topper and pillow products, but using only a specific type of elastomeric material and

manufacturing process that were developed by EdiZONE years earlier that has long been replaced by the Company with more advanced

gel materials and more efficient manufacturing processes that Intellibed has no right to use.

Whereas Intellibed’s rights

are limited to specific products and has exclusivity to this technology only for mattresses, the Company can use the licensed technologies,

should it want to, for any purpose except mattresses, and Intellibed cannot use any of the many other technologies owned by Purple

LLC including any of the advanced technologies being used for Purple products.

Nevertheless, because of the appearance of Intellibed’s

cushioning element, its products may be wrongfully perceived by consumers as being comparable to the Company’s mattress and

pillow products.

Likewise, because of the novelty of the Company’s technologies, consumers and investors also may conclude

incorrectly that Intellibed’s licensed elastomeric material and manufacturing process can produce a cushioning element with

the same qualities and at the same scale as the Company’s Hyper-Elastic Polymer material in the Purple Grid cushion used

in Purple products.

This confusion could lead consumers to purchase Intellibed’s products instead of the Company’s

The lack of a clear understanding of these differences could result in lower sales that would harm the Company.

Intellibed has been

growing its sales over the past years and now distributes a portion of its products through wholesale partners with retail locations

where our mattresses are sold.

This competitor may continue to increase its sales and expand into additional distribution channels

which could erode our sales in those retail locations and channels.

This competitor may decide to sell its business to other competitors,

which may have implications on the assignment and continuity of the Intellibed License Agreement, including the continuing receipt

by Purple LLC of royalties under the Intellibed License Agreement, or it may go out of business.

Even with the Company’s

receipt of royalties from Intellibed and entitlement to the value of the brand being built by Intellibed, pursuant to the Intellibed

License Agreement, the continuing growth of this single competitor could adversely affect our business during the time that the

license is effective, to the extent lost sales are not offset by royalties, and alternatively the cessation of the Intellibed License

Agreement may require the Company to incur the costs of making and selling GEL MATRIX branded products to preserve and monetize

the value of the equity in that brand.

Although the Company believes there is value in controlling this license covering limited

intellectual property owned, but not being used, by Purple LLC, that value may be offset by expenses related to Intellibed’s

conduct and events outside our control.

Purple LLC currently is involved in litigation with Intellibed involving rights of the

parties to the Intellibed License Agreement and what we believe to be unlawful conduct by Intellibed outside its licensed rights,

as explained more fully in the section on litigation.

See Note 13, "Commitments and

Contingencies," of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part II, ITEM 8 of this Report, "Financial

Statements and Supplementary Data," which is incorporated herein by reference.

Among EdiZONE’s

previously entered into licenses of comfort-related intellectual property, as described above, another license includes exclusivity

rights that may prohibit us from selling our existing mattresses or potentially new products in the European Union.

That risk may

be addressed by redesign of the configuration of the Hyper-Elastic Polymer material in that geographic region by either using existing

technologies already assigned by EdiZONE to Purple LLC or developing new technologies.

Alternatively, that risk may not exist at

all to the extent Purple LLC’s current mattress products are the subject of expired patent rights licensed by that licensee

under the Intellibed License Agreement, if any, future claims arising out of the execution of the EdiZONE Agreement, or Purple LLC’s

ownership, enforcement or breach of the Intellibed License Agreement.

As a result of the EdiZONE Agreement, Intellibed pays royalties

under the Intellibed License Agreement, and now owes its contractual obligations thereunder to Purple LLC.

take effective action against such violating or infringing parties, we may be unable to protect against this infringement or the

effects of such violations and our business could be harmed.

Purple LLC has obtained,

with the cooperation of EdiZONE and the Pearces, the right to enforce its intellectual property rights at Purple LLC’s option,

provided that Purple LLC will indemnify EdiZONE and fund the expense of such enforcement.

In addition, as the licensor under the

Intellibed License Agreement, the Company now has the ability to enforce its intellectual property rights directly against Intellibed.

In the event such enforcement is deemed necessary by Purple LLC, and in the case currently pending against Intellibed, Purple LLC

or discourage a third party from attempting to acquire control of us.

You may not have the opportunity to participate in these transactions.

These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for equity interests in the Company.

These provisions include:

no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;

the right of our Board to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of our Board or the resignation, death or removal of a director in certain circumstances, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our Board;

a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders;

a prohibition on stockholders calling a special meeting and the requirement that a meeting of stockholders may only be called by members of our Board, which may delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors;

the requirement that changes or amendments to certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws must be approved by holders of at least two-thirds of our common stock;

advance notice procedures that stockholders must comply with in order to nominate candidates to our Board or to propose matters to be acted upon at a meeting of stockholders, which may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us.

Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, our directors shall not

be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties.

Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation

also allows us to indemnify our directors and officers from and against any and all costs, charges and expenses resulting from

their acting in such capacities with us.

This means that if you were able to enforce an action against our directors or officers,

in all likelihood, we would be required to pay any expenses they incurred in defending the lawsuit and any judgment or settlement

they otherwise would be required to pay.

Accordingly, our indemnification obligations could divert needed financial resources and

may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and adversely affect the value of

our business.

judicial forum.

Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be

the sole and exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’

ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents.

It also provides

that, unless we consent to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole

and exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf;

a breach of duty or obligation owed by any current or former director, officer or employee of ours to us or to our stockholders,

including any claim alleging the aiding and abetting of such a breach;

any action asserting a claim against us or any current or

former director, officer or employee of ours arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or our certificate

of incorporation or bylaws;

any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

This choice of forum provision

may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our

directors, officers or employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers or employees.

Alternatively,

if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable

Ratio and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as those terms are defined in the Credit Agreement) thresholds at certain measurement dates.

Purple LLC is also restricted from paying dividends or making other distributions or payments on its capital stock, subject to

limited exceptions.

restrictions may prevent us from taking actions that we believe would be in the best interests of the business and may make it

difficult for us to successfully execute our business strategy or effectively compete with companies that are not similarly restricted.

If we determine that we need to take any action that is restricted under the 2020 Credit Agreement, we will need to first obtain

a waiver from the Institutional Lenders.

Obtaining such waivers, if needed, may impose additional costs on the Company or we may

be unable to obtain such waivers.

Our ability to comply with these restrictive covenants in future periods will largely depend

on our ability to successfully implement our overall business strategy.

The breach of any of these covenants or restrictions could

result in a default, which could result in the acceleration of our outstanding debt.

In the event of an acceleration of such debt,

we could be forced to apply all available cash flows to repay such debt, which could also force us into bankruptcy or liquidation.

Certain outstanding

As of March 8, 2021, approximately 1.9 million sponsor warrants remain outstanding, which

are exercisable for an aggregate of less than one million shares of Class A Stock.

The issuance of such shares of preferred

We may issue debt and equity securities

In the future, we may

by up to all of our assets, or by issuing additional debt or equity securities, which could include issuances of secured or unsecured

notes, preferred stock, hybrid securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities.

In the event of

our liquidation, our lenders and holders of our debt would receive distributions of our available assets before distributions to

holders of our Class A Stock, and holders of preferred securities would receive distributions of our available assets before

distributions to the holders of our Class A Stock.

Because our decision to incur debt and issue securities in future offerings

may be influenced by market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or

On February 28, 2022, prior

to the covenant compliance certification date under the 2020 Credit Agreement, we entered into the first amendment of the 2020 Credit

The amendment contains a covenant waiver period such that the net leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio will not be

tested for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021 through the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Other changes in the amendment include

modification of leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage definitions and thresholds, the addition of minimum liquidity requirements with

mandatory prepayments of the revolving loan if cash exceeds $25.0 million, new weekly and monthly reporting requirements, limits on the

amount of capital expenditures, including expenditures for acquisitions of other business or technologies, the addition of a lease incurrence

test for opening additional showrooms, and additional negative covenants during a covenant amendment period that will extend into 2023

until certain conditions are met.

The additional negative covenants during the covenant amendment period include additional restrictions

on certain consolidations, mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, statutory divisions, liens, indebtedness, investments, guaranty obligations,

and restricted payments

Our failure to satisfy the

required conditions under the amendment or maintain compliance with the financial and performance covenants under the 2020 Credit Agreement

could result in a default, including acceleration of our outstanding debt, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results

Risks Relating to our Structure

we may be entitled to tax benefits relating to additional tax depreciation or amortization deductions as a result of the tax basis step-up we

receive in connection with the exchanges of Class B Units and shares of Class B Stock into our Class A Stock and related

transactions, we will be required to pay InnoHold 80% of these tax benefits under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Owners of Class B

Units and shares of Class B Stock may, subject to certain conditions and transfer restrictions, exchange their Class B

Units and shares of Class B Stock (together with an equal number of Class B Units, the “Paired Securities”) for

shares of Class A Stock pursuant to an exchange agreement, dated February 2, 2018, with Purple LLC, InnoHold and the Class

B Unit holders who became a party thereto (the “Exchange Agreement”).

The deemed exchanges in the Business Combination

and any exchanges pursuant to the Exchange Agreement are expected to result in increases in our allocable share of the tax basis

of the tangible and intangible assets of Purple LLC.

These increases in tax basis may increase (for tax purposes) depreciation

and amortization deductions and therefore reduce the amount of income or franchise tax that we would otherwise be required to pay

in the future, although the Internal Revenue Service or any applicable foreign, state or local tax authority may challenge all

or part of that tax basis increase, and a court could sustain such a challenge.

As of December 31, 2020, there have been 43.5 million

exchanges of Class B Units and shares of Class B Stock for shares of Class A Stock, in addition to the deemed exchanges

that occurred in connection with the Business Combination.

In connection with the

Business Combination, we entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement, which generally provides for the payment by us to InnoHold

of 80% of certain tax benefits, if any, that we realize as a result of these increases in tax basis and of certain other tax benefits

related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including income or franchise tax benefits attributable to payments under

the Tax Receivable Agreement.

These payment obligations pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement are the obligation of the Company

and not of Purple LLC.

The actual increase in our allocable share of the Company’s tax basis in its assets, as well as the

amount and timing of any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the

timing of exchanges, the market price of shares of our common stock at the time of the exchange, the extent to which such exchanges

are taxable and the amount and timing of our income.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s preliminary estimate of the liability

under the Tax Receivable Agreement resulting from the deemed exchanges that occurred in connection with the Business Combination

and subsequent exchanges of 43.5 million Paired Securities as of December 31, 2020 was approximately $172.0 million.

($0.5 million

in 2019 and an incremental $171.5 million through December 31, 2020).

To the extent the Company realizes tax benefits in future

years, or in the event of a change in future tax rates, or if payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement are required to be accelerated,

this liability may exceed the estimated liability.

relevant factors described above are known at this time with respect to the exchanges that have occurred, and none of the relevant

factors are known with respect to 0.5 million future exchanges (whether this year or in subsequent years), except as estimated

who became a party thereto (the “Exchange Agreement”).

The deemed exchanges in the Business Combination and any exchanges

pursuant to the Exchange Agreement are expected to result in increases in our allocable share of the tax basis of the tangible and intangible

These increases in tax basis may increase (for tax purposes) depreciation and amortization deductions and therefore

reduce the amount of income or franchise tax that we would otherwise be required to pay in the future, although the Internal Revenue

Service or any applicable foreign, state or local tax authority may challenge all or part of that tax basis increase, and a court could

sustain such a challenge.

As of December 31, 2021, there have been 43.6 million exchanges of Class B Units and shares of Class B

Stock for shares of Class A Stock, in addition to the deemed exchanges that occurred in connection with the Business Combination.

In connection with the Business

Combination, we entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement, which generally provides for the payment by us to InnoHold of 80% of certain

tax benefits, if any, that we realize as a result of these increases in tax basis and of certain other tax benefits related to entering

into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including income or franchise tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

These payment obligations pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement are the obligation of the Company and not of Purple LLC.

increase in our allocable share of the Company’s tax basis in its assets, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under

the Tax Receivable Agreement, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of exchanges, the market price of shares

of our common stock at the time of the exchange, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable and the amount and timing of our income.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s preliminary estimate of the liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement resulting from

the deemed exchanges that occurred in connection with the Business Combination and subsequent exchanges of 43.6 million Paired Securities

as of December 31, 2021 was approximately $168.1 million, of which $172.0 was recorded through 2020.

To the extent the Company

realizes tax benefits in future years, or in the event of a change in future tax rates, or if payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement

are required to be accelerated, this liability may exceed the estimated liability.

not all of the relevant factors described above are known at this time with respect to the exchanges that have occurred, and none of

the relevant factors are known with respect to 0.4 million future exchanges (whether this year or in subsequent years), except as estimated

above, we cannot yet with certainty determine the final amounts that will be payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

as a result of the size and frequency of the exchanges and the resulting increases in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible

assets of Purple LLC, the payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be substantial and could have a material adverse effect

on our financial condition.

The payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement are not conditioned upon continued ownership of the

Company by the holders of Class B Units.

InnoHold will not be

required to reimburse us for any excess payments that may previously have been made under the Tax Receivable Agreement, for example,

due to adjustments resulting from examinations by taxing authorities.

As a result, in certain circumstances we

could make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement in excess of our actual income or franchise tax savings, if any, and we

may not be able to recoup such excess, which could materially impair our financial condition and adversely affect our liquidity.

If all of the 0.5 million

Paired Securities outstanding as of December 31, 2020 were exchanged for shares of Class A Stock pursuant to the Exchange

Agreement, and the fair market value of the Class A Stock at the time of such exchange were equal to $29.79 per share (the

closing price of a share of our Class A Stock on March 8, 2021), our aggregate liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement

would be, including the estimated $172.0 million liability described above, approximately $175.7 million in total, with

the majority payable in estimated annual amounts ranging from $2.0 million to $14.6 million over a 16-year period.

foregoing estimate of our aggregate liability is based on certain assumptions, including that there are no changes in relevant

tax law, that we are able to fully depreciate or amortize our assets, and that we recognize taxable income sufficient to realize

the full benefit of the increased depreciation and amortization of our assets in each of the tax years.

These assumptions may

not be accurate with respect to all or any exchanges of Paired Securities for Class A Stock.

As a result, the amount and

timing of our actual aggregate liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement may differ materially from our estimates depending

on a number of factors, including those described above and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Paired Securities outstanding as of December 31, 2021 were exchanged for shares of Class A Stock pursuant to the Exchange Agreement,

and the fair market value of the Class A Stock at the time of such exchange were equal to $6.01 per share (the closing price of a

share of our Class A Stock on February 18, 2022), our aggregate liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement would not increase from

the estimated $168.1 million liability described above, with the amount payable in estimated annual amounts ranging from $0.3 million

to $14.6 million over a 16-year period.

The foregoing estimate of our aggregate liability is based on certain assumptions, including

Tax Receivable Agreement provides that, in the event that we exercise our right to early termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement,

or in the event of a change of control of the Company or we are more than 90 days late in making of a payment due under the Tax

Receivable Agreement, the Tax Receivable Agreement will terminate, and we will be required to make a lump-sum payment

to InnoHold equal to the present value of all forecasted future payments that would have otherwise been made under the Tax Receivable

Agreement, which lump-sum payment would be based on certain assumptions, including those relating to our future taxable

The change of control payment to InnoHold and the other owners could be substantial and could exceed the actual tax benefits

that we receive as a result of acquiring units from other owners of Purple LLC because the amounts of such payments would be calculated

assuming that we would have been able to use the potential tax benefits each year for the remainder of the amortization periods

applicable to the basis increases, and that tax rates applicable to us would be the same as they were in the year of the termination.

In these situations, our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement could have a substantial negative impact on our liquidity

and could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations

or other changes of control due to the additional transaction cost a potential acquirer may attribute to satisfying such obligations.

made in the course of running our business, such as with respect to mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations

or other changes in control, may influence the timing and amount of payments that are received by InnoHold under the Tax Receivable

For example, the earlier disposition of assets following an exchange or acquisition transaction will generally accelerate

payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and increase the present value of such payments, and the disposition of assets before

an exchange or acquisition transaction will increase an existing owner’s tax liability without giving rise to any rights

of InnoHold to receive payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

in the absence of an early termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement, change of control of the Company or a payment that is more

than 90 days late under the Tax Receivable Agreement, there may be a material negative effect on our liquidity if the payments

under the Tax Receivable Agreement exceed the actual income or franchise tax savings that we realize in respect of the tax attributes

subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement or if distributions to us by Purple LLC are not sufficient to permit us to make payments

under the Tax Receivable Agreement after we have paid taxes and other expenses.

Furthermore, our obligations to make payments under

the Tax Receivable Agreement could make us a less attractive target for an acquisition, particularly in the case of an acquirer

that cannot use some or all of the tax benefits that are deemed realized under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

We may need to incur

additional indebtedness to finance payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement to the extent our cash resources are insufficient

to meet our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement as a result of timing discrepancies or otherwise which may have a material

adverse effect on our financial condition.

Tax Receivable Agreement.

We may not be able to realize all

or a portion of the tax benefits that are expected to result from the acquisition of Units from Purple LLC Class B Unitholders.

Pursuant to the Tax

Receivable Agreement, the Company will share tax savings resulting from (A) the amortization of the anticipated step-up in

tax basis in Purple LLC’s assets as a result of (i) the Business Combination and (ii) the exchange of (a) the

Class B Units and (b) the Class B Stock, in each case that were received in connection with the Business Combination,

for shares of Class A Stock pursuant to the Exchange Agreement and (B) certain other related transactions with InnoHold

in connection with the Business Combination.

The amount of any such tax savings attributable to the payment of cash to InnoHold

in connection with the Business Combination and the exchanges contemplated by the Exchange Agreement will be paid 80% to InnoHold

and other owners of such securities and retained 20% by the Company.

Our ability to realize, and benefit from, these tax savings

depends on a number of assumptions, including that we will earn sufficient taxable income each year during the period over which

the deductions arising from any such basis increases and payments are available and that there are no adverse changes in applicable

law or regulations.

If our actual taxable income were insufficient to fully utilize such tax benefits or there were adverse changes

in applicable law or regulations, we may be unable to realize all or a portion of these expected benefits and our cash flows and

stockholders’ equity could be negatively affected.

or in the event of a change of control of the Company or we are more than 90 days late in making of a payment due under the Tax Receivable

Agreement, the Tax Receivable Agreement will terminate, and we will be required to make a lump-sum payment to InnoHold equal

to the present value of all forecasted future payments that would have otherwise been made under the Tax Receivable Agreement, which lump-sum payment

would be based on certain assumptions, including those relating to our future taxable income.

and the other owners could be substantial and could exceed the actual tax benefits that we receive as a result of acquiring units from

changes in control, may influence the timing and amount of payments that are received by InnoHold under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

For example, the earlier disposition of assets following an exchange or acquisition transaction will generally accelerate payments under

the Tax Receivable Agreement and increase the present value of such payments, and the disposition of assets before an exchange or acquisition

transaction will increase an existing owner’s tax liability without giving rise to any rights of InnoHold to receive payments under

in the absence of an early termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement, change of control of the Company or a payment that is more than

future effective tax rates could be subject to volatility or adversely affected by a number of factors, including:

changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities;

expected timing and amount of the release of any tax valuation allowances;

tax effects of stock-based compensation;

costs related to intercompany restructurings;

the addition of new tax jurisdictions or changes in tax laws, regulations or interpretations thereof.

Our ability to utilize our net operating

Under Section 382 and related provisions of the Internal

Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change” generally

defined as a greater than 50 percentage point change (by value) in its equity ownership by certain stockholders over a three-year

period), the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) and other

pre-change tax attributes to offset its post-change income may be limited.

If finalized, Treasury Regulations currently proposed

under Section 382 of the Code may further limit our ability to utilize our pre-change NOLs or other tax attributes if we undergo

The amount of our deferred

tax assets considered realizable could be adjusted if projections of future taxable income are reduced or objective negative evidence

in the form of a three-year cumulative loss is present or both.

Should we no longer have a level of sustained profitability, excluding

nonrecurring charges, we will have to rely more on our future projections of taxable income to determine if we have an adequate source

of taxable income for the realization of our deferred tax assets, namely NOL carryforwards.

This may result in the need to record

a valuation allowance against all or an additional portion of our deferred tax assets, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
