Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) 1. Organization The Company’s mission is to help people feel and live better through innovative comfort solutions. Purple Innovation, Inc. collectively with its subsidiary (the “Company” or “Purple Inc.”) began as a digitally-native vertical brand founded on comfort product innovation with premium offerings, and is now omni-channel. The Company designs and manufactures a variety of innovative, branded and premium comfort products, including mattresses, pillows, cushions, bases, sheets, and other products. The Company markets and sells its products through its e-commerce online channels, retail brick-and-mortar wholesale partners, Purple owned retail showrooms, and third-party online retailers. The Company was incorporated in Delaware on May 19, 2015 as a special purpose acquisition company under the name of Global Partnership Acquisition Corp (“GPAC”). On February 2, 2018, the Company consummated a transaction structured similar to a reverse recapitalization (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to which the Company acquired a portion of the equity of Purple Innovation, LLC (“Purple LLC”). At the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), the Company became the sole managing member of Purple LLC, and GPAC was renamed Purple Innovation, Inc. As the sole managing member of Purple LLC, Purple Inc. through its officers and directors is responsible for all operational and administrative decision making and control of the day-to-day business affairs of Purple LLC without the approval of any other member. On August 31, 2022, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding stock of Advanced Comfort Technologies, Inc., dba Intellibed (“Intellibed”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), in which Gelato Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Purple Inc., merged with and into Intellibed, with Intellibed continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of Purple Inc. On October 3, 2022, Purple Inc. contributed 100 % of the membership interest in Intellibed to Purple LLC and Intellibed became a wholly owned subsidiary of Purple LLC. For further discussion see Note 4 — Acquisition. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Purple Inc., its controlled subsidiary Purple LLC, and Intellibed, Purple LLC’s wholly owned subsidiary, from the date of acquisition. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As of March 31, 2023, Purple Inc. held 99.6 % of the common units of Purple LLC and other Purple LLC Class B Unit holders held 0.4 % of the common units in Purple LLC. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting and reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (all of which were considered of normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial results. The results of the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 or for any other interim period or other future year. Variable Interest Entities Purple LLC is a variable interest entity. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of Purple LLC as it is the sole managing member and has the power to direct the activities most significant to Purple LLC’s economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and receive benefits that are potentially significant. At March 31, 2023, Purple Inc. had a 99.6 % economic interest in Purple LLC and consolidated 100 % of Purple LLC’s assets, liabilities and results of operations in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein. The holders of Class B units held 0.4 % of the economic interest in Purple LLC as of March 31, 2023. For further discussion see Note 16— Stockholders’ Equity. 5 PURPLE INNOVATION, INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Use of Estimates The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to establish accounting policies and to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclose contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. The Company regularly makes significant estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, estimates that affect revenue recognition, accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses, valuation of inventories, sales returns, warranty returns, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, warrant liabilities, stock based compensation, the recognition and measurement of loss contingencies, estimates of current and deferred income taxes, deferred income tax valuation allowances, and amounts associated with the Company’s tax receivable agreement with InnoHold, LLC (“InnoHold”). Predicting future events is inherently an imprecise activity and, as such, requires the use of judgment. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Measurement of Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which was further updated and clarified by the FASB through issuance of additional related ASUs. This guidance replaces the existing incurred loss impairment guidance and establishes a single allowance framework for financial assets carried at amortized cost based on expected credit losses. The estimate of expected credit losses requires the incorporation of historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. These updates are effective for public companies, excluding Smaller Reporting Companies (“SRC”), for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. The standard is effective for all other entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods therein. This standard was adopted utilizing a modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2023 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. 3. Underwritten Offering of Class A Common Stock In February 2023, the Company completed an underwritten offering of 13.4 million shares of Class A common stock at a price of $ 4.50 per share. The underwriters did not exercise their over-allotment option. The aggregate net proceeds received by the Company from the offering, after deducting offering fees and expenses of $ 3.1 million, totaled $ 57.2 million. 4. Acquisition On August 31, 2022, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company acquired Intellibed, a premium sleep and health wellness company, offering gel-based mattresses scientifically designed for maximum back support, spinal alignment and pressure point relief. The addition of Intellibed is expected to increase product offerings to customers, expand market opportunities, capitalize on synergies of the combined companies, and increase opportunities for innovation. In addition, the acquisition allowed the Company to consolidate ownership of its intellectual property licensed to Intellibed and more fully capitalize on growing demand for products with gel technologies. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for Intellibed was $ 28.3 million, which consisted of the following (in thousands): Fair value of Class A common stock issued at closing $ 23,069 Fair value of Class A common stock held in escrow 1,467 Fair value of contingent consideration 1,471 Fair value of effective settlement of preexisting relationships 1,672 Transaction expenses paid on behalf of Intellibed 546 Due to seller 75 Fair value of total purchase consideration $ 28,300 6 PURPLE INNOVATION, INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) The fair value of common stock issued at closing consisted of approximately 8.1 million shares of Class A common stock valued using the acquisition date closing price of $2.86. The fair value of common stock held in escrow consisted of 0.5 million shares of Class A common stock valued using the acquisition date closing price of $2.86. These shares are being held in escrow pending resolution of net working capital adjustments and certain indemnification matters, as described in the Merger Agreement. Contingent consideration represents the fair value of 1.5 million shares of Class A common stock issuable to Intellibed security holders if the closing price of the Company’s stock does not equal or exceed $ 5.00 for at least ten trading days over any period of 30 consecutive trading days during the period beginning on the six-month anniversary of the closing date and ending on the 18-month anniversary of the closing date. The contingent shares were valued using a Monte-Carlo simulation model. Because the contingent consideration is payable with a fixed number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, it is classified as equity and will not require remeasurement in subsequent periods. The fair value of effective settlement of preexisting relationships includes $ 1.4 million related to the fair value of a preexisting legal matter with Intellibed that was effectively settled on the acquisition date and $ 0.3 million related to the fair value of a preexisting royalty liability owed by Intellibed to the Company that was also effectively settled on the acquisition date. As a result of effectively settling the preexisting legal matter with Intellibed, the Company recorded a gain of $ 1.4 million as other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. As a result of effectively settling the preexisting royalty liability, the Company and Intellibed recorded a corresponding receivable and payable, respectively, for the same $ 0.3 million amount that was eliminated in consolidation at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company recorded the acquisition based on the fair value of the consideration transferred and then allocated the purchase price to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective preliminary estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed required management to use significant judgment and estimates including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of future revenues and cash flows, discount rates, and asset lives, among other items. While the Company used its best estimates and assumptions as a part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value the assets acquired, including intangible assets, and the liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, the Company’s estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. Due to the close proximity of the acquisition date to the Company’s reporting date, the Company recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their preliminary estimated fair values. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had not finalized the determination of the working capital adjustments and the fair values allocated to various assets and liabilities, income tax provision, intangible assets and the residual amount allocated to goodwill. Consequently, during the measurement period, which could be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, with a corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or the liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments will be reflected in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Based upon the purchase price allocation, the following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition (in thousands): Net tangible assets (liabilities): Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 4,206 Accounts receivable 5,024 Inventory 3,463 Other current assets 326 Property and equipment 7,000 Operating lease right-of-use assets 5,491 Other long-term assets 68 Accounts payable ( 2,807 ) Other current liabilities ( 2,273 ) Operating lease obligations ( 4,373 ) Deferred tax liabilities ( 4,242 ) Net tangible assets (liabilities) 11,883 Goodwill 4,897 Customer relationships 10,876 Developed technology 644 Net assets acquired and liabilities assumed $ 28,300 7 PURPLE INNOVATION, INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) The Company believes the amount of goodwill resulting from the purchase price allocation is primarily attributable to expected synergies from the assembled workforce, an increase in development capabilities, increased offerings to customers, expanded market opportunities, and enhanced opportunities for growth and innovation. Goodwill is not being amortized but instead is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if certain indicators of impairment are present. In the event that goodwill becomes impaired, the Company will record an expense for the amount impaired during the quarter in which the determination is made. The goodwill recorded is not deductible for income tax purposes. The two identified definite lived intangible assets, comprised of customer relationships and developed technology, are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of ten and two years , respectively. The customer relationships intangible asset represents the estimated fair value of the underlying relationships with Intellibed customers, valued utilizing the multi-period excess earnings method. The developed technology intangible represents the fair value of Intellibed industry-specific cloud and mobile software and related technologies, valued using the cost to recreate method. The cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance acquired included $ 1.7 million of cash deposited by Intellibed in a separate account pursuant to an escrow agreement with the Company that will end on August 31, 2023. The purpose of the escrow cash amount was to cover Intellibed’s estimated state income tax liabilities, sales tax liabilities and related filing expenses that existed prior to the acquisition date. If the actual liabilities are less than estimated, any excess cash will be returned to the previous shareholders of Intellibed. If payments for these items exceed the escrow balance, the Company will be required to pay the excess. The Company recorded the $ 1.7 million of cash on August 31, 2022 as an acquired restricted cash balance that is included in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company also recorded on August 31, 2022, an assumed liability totaling $ 1.3 million for the sales and use tax and state and local income tax liabilities exposure that existed at the date of acquisition and is reflected in the other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 5. Fair Value Measurements The Company uses the fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, essentially an exit price, based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are: Level 1—Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2—Significant other observable inputs (i.e., quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, such as interest rate and yield curves, and market-corroborated inputs); and Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting unit to develop its own assumptions. The classification of fair value measurements within the established three-level hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurements. Financial instruments, although not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and the Company’s debt obligations. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these accounts. The fair value of the Company’s debt instruments is estimated to be face value based on the contractual terms of the debt arrangements and market-based expectations. 8 PURPLE INNOVATION, INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) The sponsor warrant liabilities (see Note 12 — Warrant Liabilities for more information) were Level 3 instruments and used internal models to estimate fair value using certain significant unobservable inputs which required determination of relevant inputs and assumptions. Accordingly, changes in these unobservable inputs may have had a significant impact on fair value. Such inputs included risk free interest rate, expected average life, expected dividend yield, and expected volatility. These Level 3 liabilities generally decreased (increased) in value based upon an increase (decrease) in risk free interest rate and expected dividend yield. Conversely, the fair value of these Level 3 liabilities generally increased (decreased) in value if the expected average life or expected volatility were to increase (decrease). In February 2023, the 1.9 million sponsor warrants outstanding expired and were cancelled pursuant to the terms of the agreement. There were no sponsor warrants outstanding on March 31, 2023 and the 1.9 million sponsor warrants outstanding on December 31, 2022 had a negligible fair value. As a result, activity for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was de minimis. The following table summarizes the Company’s total Level 3 liability activity for the three months ended March 31, 2022. (In thousands) Sponsor Warrants Fair value as of December 31, 2021 $ 4,343 Fair value of warrants exercised — Change in valuation inputs (1) ( 3,928 ) Fair value as of March 31, 2022 $ 415 (1) Changes in valuation inputs are recognized as the change in fair value – warrant liabilities in the consolidated statement of operations. 6. Revenue from Contracts with Customers The Company markets and sells its products through e-commerce online channels, retail brick-and-mortar wholesale partners, Purple owned retail showrooms, and third-party online retailers. Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligations under the contract which involves transferring the promised products to the customer, subject to shipping terms. Disaggregated Revenue The Company classifies revenue into two sales categories: direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) and wholesale. The DTC category is comprised of the e-commerce channel that sells directly to consumers who purchase online and through our contact center, and the Purple owned retail showrooms channel that sells directly to consumers who purchase at a showroom location. The wholesale channel includes all product sales to our retail brick and mortar wholesale partners where consumers make purchases at their retail locations or through their online channels. The Company classifies products into two major types: sleep products and other. Sleep products include mattresses, platforms, adjustable bases, mattress protectors, pillows and sheets. Other products include cushions and various other products. 9 PURPLE INNOVATION, INC.

Depreciation expense totaled $ 4.8 million and $ 3.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 9. Leases The Company leases its manufacturing and distribution facilities, corporate offices, Purple owned retail showrooms and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases with various expiration dates through 2036. The Company’s office and manufacturing leases provide for initial lease terms up to 16 years, while Purple owned retail showrooms have initial lease terms of up to ten years . Certain leases may contain options to extend the term of the original lease. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s discretion. Any lease renewal options are included in the lease term if exercise is reasonably certain at lease commencement. The Company also leases vehicles and other equipment under both operating and finance leases with initial lease terms of three to five years . The right-of-use asset for finance leases, which totaled $ 1.0 million at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was included with operating lease right-of-use assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Debt Debt consisted of the following (in thousands): March 31, December 31, 2023 2022 Term loan $ — $ 24,656 Less: unamortized debt issuance costs — ( 999 ) Total debt $ — $ 23,657 Term Loan and Revolving Line of Credit On September 3, 2020, Purple LLC entered into a financing arrangement with KeyBank National Association and a group of financial institutions (the “2020 Credit Agreement”). The 2020 Credit Agreement provided for a $ 45.0 million term loan and a $ 55.0 million revolving line of credit. The term loan was to be repaid in accordance with a five-year amortization schedule or prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of certain costs. The revolving credit facility has a term of five years and carries the same interest provisions as the term debt. A commitment fee is due quarterly based on the applicable margin applied to the unused total revolving commitment. Pursuant to a Pledge and Security Agreement between Purple LLC, KeyBank and the Company (the “Security Agreement”), the 2020 Credit Agreement is secured by a perfected first-priority security interest in the assets of Purple LLC and the Company, including a security interest in all intellectual property. Also, the Company agreed to an unconditional guaranty of the payment of all obligations and liabilities of Purple LLC under the 2020 Credit Agreement. The Security Agreement contains a pledge, as security for the Company’s guaranty, of all its ownership interest in Purple LLC. The 2020 Credit Agreement also provides for standard events of default, such as for non-payment and failure to perform or observe covenants, and contains standard indemnifications benefitting the lenders. The 2020 Credit Agreement includes representations, warranties and certain covenants of Purple LLC and the Company. Under the 2020 Credit Agreement, Purple LLC is subject to several affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants regarding dispositions of property, investments, forming or acquiring subsidiaries, business combinations or acquisitions, incurrence of additional indebtedness, and transactions with affiliates, among other customary covenants, subject to certain exceptions. In particular, Purple LLC is (i) subject to annual capital expenditure limits that can be adjusted based on the Company achieving certain net leverage ratio thresholds as provided in the 2020 Credit Agreement, (ii) restricted from incurring additional debt up to certain amounts, subject to limited exceptions, as set forth in the 2020 Credit Agreement, and (iii) maintain minimum consolidated net leverage and fixed charge coverage ratio thresholds at certain measurement dates (as defined in the 2020 Credit Agreement). Purple LLC is also restricted from paying dividends or making other distributions or payments on its capital stock, subject to limited exceptions. If the Company or Purple LLC fail to perform their obligations under these and other covenants, or should any event of default occur, the revolving loan commitments under the 2020 Credit Agreement may be terminated and any outstanding borrowings, together with accrued interest, could be declared immediately due and payable. 13 PURPLE INNOVATION, INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) The Company’s operating and financial results for the year ended December 31, 2021 did not satisfy the financial and performance covenants required under the 2020 Credit Agreement. On February 28, 2022, prior to the covenant compliance certification date, the Company entered into the first amendment of the 2020 Credit Agreement to avoid a breach of these covenants and potential default. Pursuant to this amendment, the Company incurred fees and expenses of $ 0.8 million that were recorded as debt issuance costs in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and made a $ 2.5 million payment on the term loan to cover the four quarterly principal payments due in 2022. The Company accounted for this amendment as a modification of existing debt in accordance with ASC 470 – Debt . This amendment also contained a covenant waiver period such that the net leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio were not tested for the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2021, March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022. Other modifications in the amendment included revised leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage definitions and thresholds, the addition of minimum liquidity requirements with mandatory prepayments of the revolving loan if cash exceeded $ 25.0 million, new weekly and monthly reporting requirements, limits on the amount of capital expenditures, the addition of a lease incurrence test for opening additional showrooms, and additional negative covenants during a covenant amendment period that extends into 2023 until certain conditions are met. In addition, the interest rate on any outstanding borrowings under the 2020 Credit Agreement was changed from LIBOR with a floor of 0.5% plus an applicable margin (historically at 3.0%) to an initial rate of SOFR with a floor of 0.5% plus 4.75%, for a total rate of 5.25% as long as the applicable liquidity threshold is met. If the Company does not meet this threshold, the interest rate would increase to SOFR with a floor of 0.5% plus 9.00%. Once the Company achieves a consolidated leverage ratio that is below 3.00 to 1.00, the interest rate will be based on SOFR with a floor of 0.5% plus a 3.00% to 3.75% margin depending on the consolidated leverage ratio. On March 23, 2022, the Company entered into a second amendment to the 2020 Credit Agreement. This amendment modified the 2020 Credit Agreement to allow Coliseum Capital Management, LLC, on behalf of its funds, managed accounts and its investment affiliates (individually “CCM” and collectively “Coliseum”) to acquire 35 % or more of the combined voting power of all equity interests of the Company entitled to vote for the election of members of the Company’s board of directors (“Board”) without constituting an event of default. Coliseum is considered a related party of the Company in that Adam Gray, a member of the Board, serves as a managing partner of Coliseum. Pursuant to the second amendment of the 2020 Credit Agreement, the Company incurred fees and expenses of $ 0.4 million that were recorded as debt issuance costs in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company accounted for this amendment as a modification of existing debt in accordance with ASC 470 – Debt . For further discussion see Note 15— Related Party Transactions — Coliseum Capital Management, LLC. On May 13, 2022 and September 9, 2022, the Company entered into third and fourth amendments, respectively, to the 2020 Credit Agreement. These amendments modified the permitted leases schedule to reflect a change in showroom locations and a new lease for an innovation building. The amendments did not meet the criteria for a modification of existing debt and minimal costs were recorded as general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. On July 14, 2022, the Company received consent under the 2020 Credit Agreement that allowed the Company’s acquisition of Intellibed to constitute a permitted acquisition under the 2020 Credit Agreement. The Company incurred fees and expenses of $ 0.3 million that were recorded as general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. In December 2022, the Company made a $ 15.0 million prepayment against the outstanding term loan balance without payment of a premium or penalty. On February 17, 2023, the Company entered into a fifth amendment to the 2020 Credit Agreement. As a condition of entering into the amendment, the Company repaid the $ 24.7 million outstanding balance on the term loan plus accrued interest. The amendment provided that the maximum leverage ratio covenant will not be tested for the first and second quarters of 2023, revised the ratio to 4.50 x for the third quarter of 2023, and revised the ratio to 3.00 x for all quarters thereafter. In addition, the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio covenant will not be tested for the first and second quarters of 2023, was revised to 1.50 x for the third and fourth quarters of 2023, and was revised to 2.00 x for all quarters thereafter. The amendment also revised the lease incurrence test, which allows the Company to incur ten new showroom leases for stores that will open in 2023 and six new leases for stores that will open in 2024. Moreover, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023, we will be allowed to begin entering into new leases for stores that will open in 2024, subject to leverage ratio requirements. The leverage ratio must be less than 2.50 x to sign leases, with up to a maximum of six new leases per quarter, increasing to eight new leases per quarter if the leverage ratio is less than 2.00 x. The amendment further provided certain minimum consolidated EBITDA covenants for the first and second quarters of 2023 based on our total unrestricted cash and unused revolver availability. The amendment also modified the definition of consolidated EBITDA to allow for nonrecurring / one-time and non-cash expenses and certain other expenses that are cash capped. In addition, for purposes of the definition of consolidated EBITDA, annual non-recurring and unusual out-of-pocket legal expenses were capped at $ 5.0 million for 2023 and $ 2.0 million per year thereafter. Moreover, the amendment (i) reduced the amount available under the revolving line of credit to $50.0 million, (ii) provided that the maturity date of the 2020 Credit Agreement will spring forward to June 30, 2024 if consolidated EBITDA is not greater than $15.0 million for 2023, (iii) reduced limits on maximum growth capital expenditures to $32.0 million for 2023 and $35.0 million for 2024 and 2025, and (iv) revised the current minimum liquidity covenant of $25.0 million to provide that it will increase to $30.0 million for each three-month period following the applicable fiscal quarter if the leverage ratio is greater than 3.00x for any fiscal quarter ending on or after the third quarter of 2023. Pursuant to this amendment, the Company incurred fees and expenses of $ 2.9 million that were recorded as debt issuance costs in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The amendment was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt and $ 1.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the term loan were recorded as loss on extinguishment of debt in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. For the Company to draw on its revolving line of credit, the Company must be in compliance with the covenants outlined in the fifth amendment. As of March 31, 2023, the Company complied with all the financial covenants associated with the 2020 Credit Agreement, as amended, and the full $ 50.0 million of the revolving line of credit was available for the Company to draw upon. 14 PURPLE INNOVATION, INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) On April 26, 2023, the Company received consent under the 2020 Credit Agreement that allowed the Company’s redemption of Proportional Representation Preferred Linked Stock (“PRPLS”) issued by the Company on February 24, 2023, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $150,000 as agreed by the Company in an April 19, 2023 Cooperation Agreement (the “Cooperation Agreement”) entered into with Coliseum in connection with a complaint filed by Coliseum against the Company, and a waiver of any possible default related to entering into that Cooperation Agreement prior to receiving such consent. (See Note 14— Commitments and Contingencies — Legal Proceedings for information regarding the complaint previously filed by Coliseum; Note 15— Related Party Transactions — Coliseum Capital Management, LLC for information regarding events leading up to the Company’s issuance of the PRPLS; Note 16— Shareholders’ Equity — Preferred Stock for further information regarding the issuance of the PRPLS; and Note 21— Subsequent Events — Coliseum Cooperation Agreement and Proportional Representation Preferred Linked Stock for further information regarding the terms of the Cooperation Agreement and redemption of the PRPLS.) On May 10, 2023, the Company entered into a sixth amendment to the 2020 Credit Agreement. This amendment clarified an ambiguity identified in the first sentence of Section 7.07(d), as amended by the fifth amendment, providing that Minimum Consolidated EBITDA as of each of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 pertains to the Consolidated EBITDA for each such fiscal quarter rather than Consolidated EBITDA for the trailing twelve-month period.. Interest expense under the 2020 Credit Agreement totaled $ 0.6 million and $ 1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 12. Warrant Liabilities The Company issued 12.8 million sponsor warrants pursuant to a private placement conducted simultaneously with its initial public offering. Each of these warrants entitled the registered holder to purchase one-half of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $5.75 per half share ($11.50 per full share), subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the warrant agreement. These sponsor warrants contained certain provisions that did not meet the criteria for equity classification and therefore were recorded as liabilities. The liability for these warrants was recorded at fair value on the date of the Business Combination and subsequently re-measured to fair value at each reporting date or exercise date with changes in the fair value included in earnings. In February 2023, the 1.9 million sponsor warrants outstanding expired and were cancelled pursuant to the terms of the agreement. These sponsor warrants had no fair value on the date of expiration. There were no sponsor warrants exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The 1.9 million sponsor warrants outstanding at March 31, 2022 had a fair value of $ 0.4 million. The Company determined the fair value of the sponsor warrants using the Black Scholes model with the following assumptions: March 31, 2022 Trading price of common stock on measurement date $ 5.85 Exercise price $ 5.75 Risk free interest rate 1.63 % Warrant life in years 0.8 Expected volatility 72.84 % Expected dividend yield — During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized a gain of $3.9 million in its condensed consolidated statements of operations related to a decrease in the fair value of the sponsor warrants outstanding at the end of the period. 13. Other Long-Term Liabilities Other long-term liabilities consist of the following (in thousands): March 31, December 31, 2023 2022 Warranty accrual $ 19,997 $ 20,744 Asset retirement obligations 2,131 2,098 Other 14 19 Total 22,142 22,861 Less – current portion of warranty accrual ( 4,390 ) ( 4,985 ) Other long-term liabilities, net of current portion $ 17,752 $ 17,876 15 PURPLE INNOVATION, INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) 14. Commitments and Contingencies Warranty Liabilities The Company provides a limited warranty on most of the products it sells. The estimated warranty costs, which are expensed at the time of sale and included in cost of revenues, are based on the results of product testing, industry and historical trends and warranty claim rates incurred, and are adjusted for any current or expected trends as appropriate. Actual warranty claim costs could differ from these estimates. The Company regularly assesses and adjusts the estimate of accrued warranty claims by updating claims rates for actual trends and projected claim costs. The Company classifies estimated warranty costs expected to be paid beyond a year as a long-term liability. The Company had the following activity for warranty liabilities (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 2022 Balance at beginning of period $ 20,744 $ 15,013 Additions charged to expense for current period sales 696 2,163 Deduction from reserves for current period claims ( 1,443 ) ( 808 ) Balance at end of period $ 19,997 $ 16,368 Required Member Distributions Prior to the Business Combination and pursuant to the then applicable First Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “First Purple LLC Agreement”), Purple LLC was required to distribute to its members an amount equal to 45 percent of Purple LLC’s net taxable income following the end of each fiscal year. The First Purple LLC Agreement was amended and replaced by the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “Second Purple LLC Agreement”) on February 2, 2018 as part of the Business Combination. The Second Purple LLC Agreement was amended and replaced by the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “Third Purple LLC Agreement”) on September 3, 2020. The Second Purple LLC Agreement and the Third Purple LLC Agreement do not include any mandatory distributions, other than tax distributions. There were no tax distributions paid during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. At March 31, 2023, the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet had $ 0.1 million of accrued tax distributions included in other current liabilities. Subscription Agreement and Preemptive Rights In February 2018, in connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with Coliseum Capital Partners (“CCP”) and Blackwell Partners LLC – Series A (“Blackwell”), pursuant to which CCP and Blackwell agreed to purchase from the Company an aggregate of 4.0 million shares of Class A Stock at a purchase price of $ 10.00 per share (the “Coliseum Private Placement”). In connection with the Coliseum Private Placement, the Sponsor assigned (i) an aggregate of 1.3 million additional shares of Class A common stock to CCP and Blackwell and (ii) an aggregate of 3.3 million warrants to purchase 1.6 million shares of Class A common stock to CCP, Blackwell, and Coliseum Co-Invest Debt Fund, L.P. (“CDF”). The subscription agreement provides CCP and Blackwell with preemptive rights with respect to future sales of the Company’s securities. It also provides them with a right of first refusal with respect to certain debt and preferred equity financings by the Company. The Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with CCP, Blackwell, and CDF, providing for the registration of the shares of Class A common stock issued and assigned to CCP and Blackwell in the Coliseum Private Placement, as well as the shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants received by CCP, Blackwell and CDF. The Company has filed a registration statement with respect to such securities. Rights of Securities Holders The holders of certain warrants exercisable into Class A common stock, including CCP, Blackwell and CDF, were entitled to registration rights pursuant to certain registration rights agreements of the Company as of the Business Combination date. In March 2018, the Company filed a registration statement registering these warrants (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants), and certain unregistered shares of Class A common stock. The registration statement was declared effective on April 3, 2018. Under the Registration Rights Agreement dated February 2, 2018 between the Company and CCP, Blackwell, and CDF (the “Coliseum Investors”), the Coliseum Investors have the right to make written demands for up to three registrations of certain warrants and shares of Class A common stock held by them, including in underwritten offerings. In an underwritten offering of such warrants and shares of Class A common stock by the Coliseum Investors, the Company will pay underwriting discounts and commissions and certain expenses incurred by the Coliseum Investors. In May, 2021, the Coliseum Investors exercised the first of their three written demands for registration in an underwritten offering. 16 PURPLE INNOVATION, INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Stockholder Rights Agreement On September 25, 2022, with the authorization of the Board, a special committee of independent and disinterested directors of the Company (the “Special Committee”) approved the adoption of a limited-duration stockholder rights agreement (the “Rights Agreement”) with an expiration date of September 25, 2023. The Special Committee adopted the Rights Agreement in response to Coliseum’s substantial increase in ownership of the Company’s shares over the last year and the Special Committee’s desire to have the time and flexibility necessary to evaluate an unsolicited and non-binding proposal from Coliseum to acquire the outstanding common stock of the Company not already beneficially owned by Coliseum (See Note 15— Related Party Transactions — Coliseum Capital Management, LLC ). The Rights Agreement was intended to enable the Company’s shareholders to realize the full value of their investment and to guard against any attempts to gain control of the Company without paying all shareholders an appropriate control premium. The Rights Agreement applied equally to all current and future shareholders and did not deter any offer or preclude the Special Committee from considering an offer that was fair and otherwise in the best interest of the Company’s shareholders. Upon adopting the Rights Agreement, 300,000 shares of the Company’s authorized shares of preferred stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share, were designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares (the “Preferred Shares”). In accordance with the Rights Agreement, on September 25, 2022, the Special Committee authorized and declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on October 6, 2022. The initial issuance of the Rights as a dividend had no financial accounting or reporting impact. The fair value of the Rights was nominal since the Rights were not exercisable when issued and no value was attributable to them. Additionally, the Rights did not meet the definition of a liability under GAAP and was therefore not accounted for as a long-term obligation. Accordingly, the Rights Agreement had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements . See Note 21— Subsequent Events for information regarding dissolution of the Rights Agreement. Purple LLC Class B Unit Exchange Right On February 2, 2018, in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with Purple LLC and InnoHold and Class B Unit holders who become a party thereto (the “Exchange Agreement”), which provides for the exchange of Purple LLC Class B units and shares of Class B common stock (together with an equal number of Class B units, the “Paired Securities”) for, at the Company’s option, either (A) shares of Class A common stock at an initial exchange ratio equal to one Paired Security for one share of Class A common stock or (B) a cash payment equal to the product of the average of the volume-weighted closing price of one share of Class A common stock for the ten trading days immediately prior to the date InnoHold or other Class B unit holders deliver a notice of exchange multiplied by the number of Paired Securities being exchanged. In December 2018, InnoHold distributed Paired Securities to Terry Pearce and Tony Pearce who agreed to become parties to the Exchange Agreement. In June 2019, InnoHold distributed Paired Securities to certain current and former employees who also agreed to become parties to the exchange agreement. Holders of Class B units may elect to exchange all or any portion of their Paired Securities as described above by delivering a notice to Purple LLC. In certain cases, adjustments to the exchange ratio will occur in case of a split, reclassification, recapitalization, subdivision or similar transaction of or relating to the Class B units or the shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock or a transaction in which the Class A common stock is exchanged or converted into other securities or property. The exchange ratio will also adjust in certain circumstances when the Company acquires Class B units other than through an exchange for its shares of Class A common stock. The right of a holder of Paired Securities to exchange may be limited by the Company if it reasonably determines in good faith that such restrictions are required by applicable law (including securities laws), such exchange would not be permitted under other agreements of such holder with the Company or its subsidiaries, including the Third Purple LLC Agreement, or if such exchange would cause Purple LLC to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” under applicable tax laws. The Company and each holder of Paired Securities shall bear its own expense regarding the exchange except that the Company shall be responsible for transfer taxes, stamp taxes and similar duties. There were no Paired Securities exchanged for Class A common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. 17 PURPLE INNOVATION, INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Maintenance of One-to-One Ratios The Third Purple LLC Agreement includes provisions intended to ensure that the Company at all times maintains a one-to-one ratio between (a) (i) the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock and (ii) the number of Class A units owned by the Company (subject to certain exceptions for certain rights to purchase equity securities of the Company under a “poison pill” or similar stockholder rights plan, if any, certain convertible or exchangeable securities issued under the Company’s equity compensation plan and certain equity securities issued pursuant to the Company’s equity compensation plan (other than a stock option plan) that are restricted or have not vested thereunder) and (b) (i) the number of other outstanding equity securities of the Company (including the warrants exercisable for shares of Class A common stock) and (ii) the number of corresponding outstanding equity securities of Purple LLC. These provisions are intended to result in non-controlling interest holders having a voting interest in the Company that is identical to their economic interest in Purple LLC. Non-Income Related Taxes The U.S. Supreme Court ruling in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. , No.17-494, reversed a longstanding precedent that remote sellers are not required to collect state and local sales taxes. The Company cannot predict the effect of these and other attempts to impose sales, income or other taxes on e-commerce. The Company currently collects and reports on sales tax in all states in which it does business. However, the application of existing, new or revised taxes on the Company’s business, in particular, sales taxes, VAT and similar taxes would likely increase the cost of doing business online and decrease the attractiveness of selling products over the internet. The application of these taxes on the Company’s business could also create significant increases in internal costs necessary to capture data and collect and remit taxes. There have been, and will continue to be, substantial ongoing costs associated with complying with the various indirect tax requirements in the numerous markets in which the Company conducts or will conduct business. Legal Proceedings On September 20, 2020, Purple LLC filed a complaint in the U.S. Court of International Trade seeking to recover approximately $ 7.0 million of Section 301 duties paid at the time of importation on certain Chinese-origin goods. More than 4,000 other complaints have been filed by other companies seeking similar refunds. On March 12, 2021 the United States filed a master answer that applies to all the Section 301 cases, including Purple LLC’s. On July 6, 2021, the court granted a preliminary injunction against liquidation of any unliquidated entries. On April 1, 2022, the court issued an opinion that remanded the case back to the U.S. Trade Representative (“USTR”) to address certain procedural flaws in USTR’s process for determining whether certain products were subject to the Section 301 duties. On August 1, 2022, USTR issued its remand results. On September 14, 2022, the plaintiffs submitted comments on the remand results. USTR filed their response to these comments on November 4, 2022. The plaintiffs filed a reply on December 5, 2022 and the court held a hearing on February 7, 2023. On March 17, 2023, the court issued a final opinion and order upholding the remand results. As a result, the duties will stay in place and no refunds will be issued. The court’s order could be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. 18 PURPLE INNOVATION, INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) On October 13, 2020, Purple LLC filed a lawsuit against Responsive Surface Technology, LLC and its parent company, PatienTech, LLC (collectively referred to as “ReST”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah. The lawsuit arises from ReST’s multiple breaches of its obligations to Purple LLC, including infringing upon Purple LLC’s trademarks, patents, and trade dress, among other claims. Purple seeks monetary damages, injunctive relief, and declaratory judgment based on certain conduct by ReST (“Case I”). On October 21, 2020, shortly after the complaint was filed in Case I, ReST filed a retaliatory lawsuit against Purple LLC, and some of the Company’s board members, Gary DiCamillo, Adam Gray, Joseph Megibow, Terry Pearce, and Tony Pearce, also in the United States District Court for the District of Utah (“Case II”). Subsequently, the two cases were consolidated into one. Case II (now combined with Case I) involves many of the same facts and transactions as Case I. ReST subsequently filed a motion to compel arbitration of the claims in Case I. Purple LLC opposed the motion to compel arbitration, arguing that ReST waived any rights to arbitration and that all the claims in both cases should stay in the courts. However, the Court granted ReST’s motion to compel arbitration, and stayed the proceedings in the United States District Court for the District of Utah. Additionally, the Court ruled that ReST’s claims against the Company’s board members were not subject to arbitration, and the Court stayed ReST’s claims against those individuals. Pursuant to the Court’s order, Purple LLC filed a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) on September 1, 2021. ReST filed its counterclaim with the AAA on September 21, 2021. Currently, the parties are nearing the end of the fact discovery phase of the arbitration. The parties have taken several depositions and engaged in written discovery. The arbitration hearing is scheduled to begin on July 31, 2023. Purple LLC seeks over $ 4 million in damages from ReST, whereas ReST claims that Purple LLC is liable to it for tens of millions of dollars. The outcome of this litigation cannot be predicted at this stage. However, Purple LLC intends to vigorously pursue its claims and defend against the claims made by ReST. On May 3, 2022, Purple LLC filed a complaint against Photon Interactive UK Limited (“Photon”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware regarding a Master Professional Services Agreement with Photon dated on or around November 1, 2019. Pursuant to the agreement, Photon was required to rebuild Purple LLC’s website architecture and checkout process. Purple LLC paid Photon $ 0.9 million under the Agreement. However, Photon failed to deliver any of the required deliverables as specified in the agreement. Purple LLC withheld payment of the final $ 0.1 million due pursuant to Photon’s invoices pending a resolution with Photon. Since resolution discussions with Photon failed, Purple LLC filed its complaint for breach of contract against Photon seeking, among other damages, reimbursement for all amounts paid to Photon under the agreement. Photon counter-sued, seeking payment for the $ 0.1 million withheld by Purple LLC, and also advancing a vague claim for tortious interference. On August 31, 2022, Purple LLC filed an amended complaint adding additional claims pertaining to Photon’s failure to deliver a point-of-sale system pursuant to the Master Professional Services Agreement. Purple LLC is seeking judgment against Photon in the amount of $ 4 million. The litigation is presently in its discovery phase. The Company intends to vigorously litigate its claims to resolution. On August 5, 2022, Purple LLC filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”) against numerous entities and individuals from the People’s Republic of China and South Korea (“Respondents”) that have been violating Purple LLC’s intellectual property rights related to pillow and seat cushion products. The complaint alleged that the Respondents have been violating 19 U.S.C. § 1337 (“Section 337”) by importing into the United States, selling for importation into the United States, and/or selling in the United States after importation pillow and seat cushion products that infringe Purple LLC’s trade dress rights or otherwise constitute unfair competition, infringe a certain Purple LLC’s design patent, infringe Purple LLC’s trademarks, and/or infringe Purple LLC’s utility patents. The complaint requested at least the following relief: (i) a General Exclusion Order excluding from entry into the United States all pillow and seat cushion products that infringe any asserted intellectual property right; (ii) Limited Exclusion Orders excluding from entry into the United States all pillow and cushion products of the Respondents named in the complaint that infringe any asserted intellectual property right; and (iii) Cease and Desist Orders against the Respondents named in the complaint barring them from marketing, selling, advertising, or distributing infringing products in the United States, including via on-line retailers. On September 6, 2022, the ITC instituted Investigation No. 337-TA-1328 in response to Purple LLC’s complaint. Fact and expert discovery have been completed. Purple LLC has entered into settlement agreements with a number of Respondents. Purple LLC also has voluntarily terminated the Investigation as to a number of Respondents. No actively litigating Respondents remain in the case. Purple LLC also has filed a Motion for Summary Determination seeking, among other things, the imposition of a General Exclusion Order with respect to pillows that infringe an asserted utility patent. Under the current Procedural Schedule for the Investigation, the deadline for the Administrative Law Judge to issue an Initial Determination concerning Purple LLC’s Motion for Summary Determination is June 12, 2023, and the Commission’s Target Date for completion of the Investigation has been set for October 12, 2023. On September 22, 2022, Purple LLC filed an action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah styled Purple Innovation, LLC v. Bedmate-U Co., Ltd. , against numerous entities and individuals from the People’s Republic of China and South Korea (“Respondents”). The complaint alleges that the Respondents have (a) violated Lanham Act § 43(a), 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a) by committing acts of trade dress infringement; (b) infringed U.S. Trademark Registration No. 5,661,556; (c) infringed U.S. Trademark Registration No. 6,551,053; (d) violated Lanham Act § 43(a), 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a) by committing acts of trademark infringement; I infringed U.S. Patent No. D909,092; (f) infringed U.S. Patent No. 10,772,445; (g) infringed U.S. Patent No. 10,863,837; (h) violated Utah Unfair Competition Act, Utah Code § 13-5a-101 et seq. ; and/or (i) committed common law unfair competition. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, compensatory damages, disgorgement of profits, punitive and exemplary damages, and attorneys’ fees and costs. This action is in its initial stages. Purple LLC intends to vigorously litigate its claims to resolution. 19 PURPLE INNOVATION, INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) On December 16, 2022, Terry and Tony Pearce, Purple’s founders, filed a complaint against Purple Inc. in the Fourth Judicial District Court in the State of Utah. The Pearces allege that they each entered into employment agreements with Purple LLC in February 2018. The Pearces contend that certain corporate transactions between May 2019 and June 2020 reduced their “ownership interest and voting power in Purple” and that, as a result, they should have continued to be paid a salary between August 2020, when they retired from Purple LLC, and December 2021. The Pearces calculate that they are each owed “no less than $ 500,000 ” in unpaid salary. In February 2023, Purple Inc. filed a motion to dismiss the Pearces’ claims in full. The Pearces amended their complaint a month later. Purple Inc. has now moved to dismiss that amended complaint, as well, arguing that the Pearces’ amendment did not address the flaws in their legal theory and that the Pearces’ failed amendment reflects an inability to rehabilitate their claims. The Company maintains insurance to defend against claims of this nature and intends to continue to do so vigorously. On February 21, 2023, Coliseum filed a complaint against Purple Inc. and several members of the Board in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Coliseum Capital Management, LLC v. Anthos , Case No. 2023-0220-PAF (Del. Ch. Feb. 21, 2023). The complaint alleged that the Company and the named directors authorized an improper dividend of preferred stock in bad faith to impede stockholder voting rights and interfere with Coliseum’s nomination of a competing slate of director candidates ahead of the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders. Coliseum was seeking: (1) declarations that the authorization of Proportional Representation Preferred Linked Stock violated the Company’s charter and amounted to a breach of the named directors’ fiduciary duties; (2) a declaration that the Proportional Representation Preferred Linked Stock is invalid, unenforceable, and void; (3) unspecified damages resulting from the alleged breach of duties; and (4) an award of costs and expenses incurred in pursuing the action. The parties agreed to hold an expedited trial on Coliseum’s claims that would have resulted in a resolution of the dispute before the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders. On April 11, 2023, Coliseum and the Company resolved the litigation by entering into a binding memorandum of understanding in which the parties agreed to work together to prepare and enter into a formalized cooperation agreement. The Cooperation Agreement that embodied those material terms was signed by both parties on April 19, 2023 and became effective on April 27, 2023. See Note 21— Subsequent Events — Coliseum Cooperation Agreement for further discussion of the provisions of the cooperation agreement. On April 3, 2023, InnoHold, LLC, Terry Pearce, and Tony Pearce (collectively, the “InnoHold Parties”) filed a complaint against Purple LLC in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned InnoHold, LLC et al. v. Purple Innovation, LLC , Case No. 2023-0393-PAF (Del. Ch. Apr. 3, 2023). The complaint alleges that Purple LLC breached the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Purple Innovation, LLC, dated as of February 2, 2018 (the “LLC Agreement”), and the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing contained therein by failing to pay the full amount of tax distributions owed under the LLC Agreement. The complaint also asserts a claim for indemnification under the LLC Agreement. The InnoHold Parties seek damages of approximately $ 3.0 million in allegedly unpaid tax distributions as well as its legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the litigation. Purple LLC has not yet formally responded to the allegations in the complaint, and the outcome of the litigation cannot be predicted at this early stage. The Company is from time to time involved in various other claims, legal proceedings and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that adverse decisions in any such pending or threatened proceedings, or any amount that the Company might be required to pay by reason thereof, would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or future results of the Company. 15. Related Party Transactions The Company had various transactions with entities or individuals which are considered related parties. Coliseum Capital Management, LLC Immediately following the Business Combination, Adam Gray was appointed to the Company’s Board. Mr. Gray is a manager of Coliseum Capital, LLC, which is the general partner of CCP and CDF, and he is also a managing partner of CCM, which is the investment manager of Blackwell and also manages investment funds and accounts. Mr. Gray has voting and dispositive control over securities held by CCP, CDF and Blackwell which were also Lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. See Note 14— Commitments and Contingencies — Subscription Agreement and Preemptive Rights for further discussion . On September 17, 2022, the Company received an unsolicited and non-binding proposal from Coliseum on behalf of certain investment funds and accounts to acquire the remaining outstanding common stock of the Company not already beneficially owned by Coliseum for $ 4.35 per share in cash. At the time of the offer, Coliseum beneficially owned approximately 44.7 % of the outstanding equity of the Company. The Coliseum proposal was conditioned upon the transaction being (a) negotiated by, and subject to the approval of, the Special Committee and (b) subject to a non-waivable condition requiring approval by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock not owned by Coliseum or other interested parties. The Special Committee was formed by the Board to determine the necessary actions to evaluate the Coliseum proposal and determine the course of action that was in the best interests of all the Company’s shareholders. The Board expressly granted the Special Committee the ability to decline the Coliseum proposal. In addition, the Special Committee adopted the Rights Agreement to have the time and flexibility necessary to evaluate the Coliseum offer and to prevent a change of control without payment of an adequate control premium. On January 12, 2023, the Company issued a press release stating the Special Committee had rejected Coliseum’s unsolicited proposal. 20 PURPLE INNOVATION, INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) On February 14, 2023, the Company declared a dividend of one new PRPLS for each 100 shares of its common stock owned by the Company’s shareholders. Each PRPLS would have voted together with the common stock in the election of directors, and related matters, and carried 10,000 votes each. Holders of PRPLS were entitled to allocate their votes among the nominees in director elections on a cumulative basis. PRPLS holders could have allocated all, none, or a portion of their votes to each director nominee up for election at the Company’s meetings of shareholders. On February 24, 2023, the Company issued 1.0 million PRPLS shares which traded with the common stock. Any new issuance of common stock would have automatically included a proportionate number of PRPLS. The PRPLS were redeemable at any time by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members of the Board. PRPLS did not have any dividend rights and were entitled to only a limited payment upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up in priority to any payments on the common stock but would not have otherwise participated in any liquidating distributions. On February 21, 2023, Coliseum filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery to invalidate the Company’s issued PRPLS, alleging that the issuance deprived the Company’s stockholders of a fair and democratic election of directors at the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting and other related allegations. Prior to the trial that was set to begin on April 12, 2023, the parties agreed to resolve the litigation and enter into a cooperation agreement. On April 19, 2023, the parties entered into a Cooperation Agreement which became effective on April 27, 2023. See Note 21— Subsequent Events — Coliseum Cooperation Agreement for further discussion of the provisions of the agreement. Purple Founder Entities TNT Holdings, LLC (herein “TNT Holdings”), EdiZONE, LLC, (herein “EdiZONE”) an entity wholly owned by TNT Holdings, and InnoHold (collectively the “Purple Founder Entities”) were entities under common control with Purple LLC prior to the Business Combination. TNT Holdings and InnoHold are majority owned and controlled by Terry Pearce and Tony Pearce (the “Purple Founders”), who were appointed to the Company’s Board following the Business Combination. InnoHold was a majority shareholder of the Company until it sold a portion of its interests in a secondary public offering in May 2020 and the remainder of its interests in a secondary public offering in September 2020. The Purple Founders also resigned as employees of Purple LLC and retired from the Company’s Board in August 2020. TNT Holdings owned the Alpine facility Purple LLC has been leasing since 2010, and the Purple Founders informed Purple LLC that TNT Holdings recently transferred ownership to 123E LLC, an entity controlled by the Purple Founders. Effective as of October 31, 2017, Purple LLC entered into an Amended and Restated Lease Agreement with TNT Holdings. The Company determined that neither TNT Holdings nor 123E LLC are a VIE as neither the Company nor Purple LLC hold any explicit or implicit variable interest in TNT Holdings or 123E LLC and do not have a controlling financial interest in TNT Holdings or 123E LLC. Purple LLC incurred $ 0.3 million and $ 0.2 million in rent expense to 123E LLC or TNT Holdings for the building lease of the Alpine facility for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Purple LLC continues to lease the Alpine facility that was formerly the Company headquarters, for use in research and development. In accordance with the terms of that lease, on September 3, 2021, Purple LLC gave notice to 123E LLC that it intended to exercise its right to an early termination of the lease to occur on September 30, 2022. On July 20, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to its Alpine facility lease agreement with 123E LLC. The amendment rescinded the Company’s previous notice of termination that was scheduled to be effective September 30, 2022 and extended the term such that the lease will remain in effect until September 30, 2023. 16. Stockholders’ Equity Class A Common Stock The Company has 210.0 million shares of Class A common stock authorized at a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders and participate in dividends, if declared by the Board, or receive any portion of any such assets in respect of their shares upon liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up of the Company in excess of the par value of such stock. Holders of Class A common stock and holders of Class B common stock voting together as a single class, have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and on all other matters properly submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders. At March 31, 2023, 105.0 million shares of Class A common stock were outstanding. 21 PURPLE INNOVATION, INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Class B Common Stock The Company has 90.0 million shares of Class B common stock authorized at a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s Class B common stock will vote together as a single class with holders of the Company’s Class A common stock on all matters properly submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Shares of Class B common stock may be issued only to InnoHold, their respective successors and assigns, as well as any permitted transferees of InnoHold. A holder may transfer their shares of Class B common stock to any transferee (other than the Company) only if such holder also simultaneously transfers an equal number of such holder’s Purple LLC Class B units to such transferee in compliance with the Third Purple LLC Agreement. The Class B common stock is not entitled to receive dividends, if declared by the Board, or to receive any portion of any such assets in respect of their shares upon liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up of the Company in excess of the par value of such stock. In connection with the Business Combination, approximately 44.1 million shares of Class B common stock were issued to InnoHold as part of the equity consideration. InnoHold subsequently transferred a portion of its shares to permitted transfers and exchanged its remaining shares for Class A common stock that it sold. All of the 0.4 million shares of Class B common stock outstanding at March 31, 2023 were held by other parties. Preferred Stock The Company has 5.0 million shares of preferred stock authorized at a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. The preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The directors are expressly authorized to provide for the issuance of shares of the preferred stock in one or more series and to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series and to fix the voting rights, designations and other special rights or restrictions. On February 24, 2023, the Company issued 1.0 million PRPLS shares which were linked to the outstanding commons stock and traded with the common stock. Any new issuance of common stock would have automatically included a proportionate number of PRPLS. The PRPLS were redeemable at any time by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members of the Board. PRPLS did not have any dividend rights and were entitled to only a limited payment upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up in priority to any payments on the common stock but would not have otherwise participated in any liquidating distributions. Each PRPLS voted together with the common stock in the election of directors, and related matters, and carried 10,000 votes each. Holders of PRPLS were entitled to allocate their votes among the nominees in director elections on a cumulative basis. PRPLS holders could have allocated all, none, or a portion of their votes to each director nominee up for election at the Company’s meetings of shareholders. At March 31, 2023, there were 1.0 million shares of preferred stock outstanding. Sponsor Warrants There were 12.8 million sponsor warrants issued pursuant to a private placement simultaneously with the Company’s initial public offering. Each of these warrants entitled the registered holder to purchase one-half of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $5.75 per half share ($11.50 per full share), subject to adjustment as specified in the warrant agreement. In February 2023, the 1.9 million sponsor warrants outstanding expired and were cancelled pursuant to the terms of the agreement. These sponsor warrants had no fair value on the date of expiration. There were no sponsor warrants exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Noncontrolling Interest Noncontrolling interest (“NCI”) is the membership interest in Purple LLC held by holders other than the Company. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the combined NCI percentage in Purple LLC was 0.4 % and 0.5 %, respectively. The Company has consolidated the financial position and results of operations of Purple LLC and reflected the proportionate interest held by all such Purple LLC Class B unit holders as NCI. 22 PURPLE INNOVATION, INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) 17. Income Taxes The Company’s sole material asset is Purple LLC, which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and for purposes of certain state and local income taxes. Purple LLC’s net taxable income and any related tax credits are passed through to its members and are included in the members’ tax returns, even though such net taxable income or tax credits may not have actually been distributed. While the Company consolidates Purple LLC for financial reporting purposes, the Company will be taxed on its share of earnings of Purple LLC not attributed to the noncontrolling interest holders, which will continue to bear their share of income tax on its allocable earnings of Purple LLC. The income tax burden on the earnings taxed to the noncontrolling interest holders is not reported by the Company in its consolidated financial statements under GAAP. The Company reported income tax expense related to various state taxes of $ 0.1 million on a pretax loss of $ 23.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to an income tax benefit of $ 1.8 million on a pretax loss of $ 15.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This resulted in an effective tax rate of 0.31 % for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to 11.73 % for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the statutory federal rate of 21 % primarily due to the impact of the full valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s deferred tax assets at March 31, 2023. In connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement with InnoHold, which provides for the payment by the Company to InnoHold of 80 % of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that the Company actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the Closing as a result of (i) any tax basis increases in the assets of Purple LLC resulting from the distribution to InnoHold of the cash consideration, (ii) the tax basis increases in the assets of Purple LLC resulting from the redemption by Purple LLC or the exchange by the Company, as applicable, of Class B Paired Securities or cash, as applicable, and (iii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Company as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, payments it makes under the agreement. As noncontrolling interest holders exercise their right to exchange or cause Purple LLC to redeem all or a portion of their Class B units, a tax receivable agreement liability may be recorded based on 80 % of the estimated future cash tax savings that the Company may realize as a result of increases in the basis of the assets of Purple LLC attributed to the Company as a result of such exchange or redemption. The amount of the increase in asset basis, the related estimated cash tax savings and the attendant liability to be recorded will depend on the price of the Company’s Class A common stock at the time of the relevant redemption or exchange. 23 PURPLE INNOVATION, INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) The estimation of liability under the tax receivable agreement is by its nature imprecise and subject to significant assumptions regarding the amount and timing of future taxable income. As of March 31, 2023, the Company estimated that if all the remaining 0.4 million Class B units were redeemed for shares of our Class A common stock, the tax receivable agreement liability would be approximately $ 168.5  million. If we experience a change of control (as defined under the tax receivable agreement, which includes certain mergers, asset sales and other forms of business combinations and change of control events), we could be required to make an immediate lump-sum payment under the terms of the tax receivable agreement. Management currently estimates the liability associated with this lump-sum payment (or “early termination payment”) would be approximately $ 110.6  million on a discounted basis. This potential early termination payment can be significantly impacted by the discounted interest rate at the time of termination. The effects of uncertain tax positions are recognized in the consolidated financial statements if these positions meet a “more-likely-than-not” threshold. For those uncertain tax positions that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements, liabilities are established to reflect the portion of those positions it cannot conclude “more-likely-than-not” to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Accrued interest and penalties would be included on the related tax liability line in the consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2023, no material uncertain tax positions were recognized as liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements. 18. Net Loss Per Common Share Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Class A stock outstanding during each period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period used in the basic net income (loss) computation plus the effect of common stock equivalents that are dilutive. 24 PURPLE INNOVATION, INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding and net loss per share for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 2022 Numerator: Net loss attributable to Purple Innovation, Inc. – basic $ ( 23,300 ) $ ( 13,502 ) Less – net loss attributed to noncontrolling interest ( 107 ) ( 129 ) Net loss attributable to Purple Innovation, Inc. – diluted $ ( 23,407 ) $ ( 13,631 ) Denominator: Weighted average shares—basic 98,404 67,058 Add – dilutive effect of Class B shares 448 448 Weighted average shares—diluted 98,852 67,506 Net loss per common share: Basic $ ( 0.24 ) $ ( 0.20 ) Diluted $ ( 0.24 ) $ ( 0.20 ) For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company excluded 2.4 million shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of certain warrants, stock options and restricted stock as the effect was anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company excluded 3.6 million shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of certain warrants, stock options, restricted stock and Class A shares subject to vesting as the effect was anti-dilutive. 19. Equity Compensation Plans 2017 Equity Incentive Plan The Purple Innovation, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Incentive Plan”) provides for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards. Directors, officers and other employees and subsidiaries and affiliates, as well as others performing consulting or advisory services for the Company and its subsidiaries, will be eligible for grants under the 2017 Incentive Plan. As of March 31, 2023, an aggregate of 1.5 million shares remain available for issuance or use under the 2017 Incentive Plan. Amended and Restated Grant Agreements On March 15, 2023, in accordance with the 2017 Incentive Plan, the Company entered into amended and restated grant agreements relating to stock options and restricted stock unit awards previously granted to the Company’s chief executive officer in March 2022 and June 2022. The amended agreements revised the vesting schedule of the awards included in each grant. These agreements provided that 0.3 million of the restricted stock units and stock options were to fully vest on March 25, 2023 and 0.3 million of the restricted stock units and stock options and conditionally granted restricted units and stock options, conditioned on shareholder approval of the Company’s proposed amendments to Section 5(f) of the Plan, will vest on March 25, 2024. The amendments also provided that the remaining 0.3 million conditionally granted restricted stock units and stock options will vest in full on March 25, 2025. These amendments resulted in the acceleration of $ 0.8 million of stock-based compensation expense into the first quarter of 2023 compared to the expense that would have been recorded based on vesting under the original agreements. Employee Stock Options The following table summarizes the Company’s total stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2023: Options (in thousands) Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term in Years Intrinsic Value (in thousands) Options outstanding as of January 1, 2023 819 $ 8.68 2.3 $ — Granted — — — — Exercised — — — — Forfeited/cancelled ( 44 ) 8.02 — — Options outstanding as of March 31, 2023 775 $ 8.72 1.8 $ — 25 PURPLE INNOVATION, INC.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized stock option expense of $ 0.3 million and $ 0.2 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, outstanding stock options had $ 0.3 million of unrecognized stock compensation cost with a remaining recognition period of 1.0 years. Employee Restricted Stock Units The following table summarizes the Company’s restricted stock unit activity for the three months ended March 31, 2023: Number Outstanding (in thousands) Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Nonvested restricted stock units as of January 1, 2023 1,235 $ 5.47 Granted — — Vested ( 284 ) 6.38 Forfeited ( 132 ) 5.87 Nonvested restricted stock units as of March 31, 2023 819 $ 5.09 The Company recorded restricted stock unit expense of $ 0.8 million and $ 0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, outstanding restricted stock units had $ 3.3 million of unrecognized stock compensation cost with a remaining recognition period of 1.9 years. 26 PURPLE INNOVATION, INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Aggregate Non-Cash Stock-Based Compensation The Company has accounted for all stock-based compensation under the provisions of ASC 718 Compensation—Stock Compensation . This standard requires the Company to record a non-cash expense associated with the fair value of stock-based compensation over the requisite service period. The following table summarizes the aggregate non-cash stock-based compensation recognized in the statement of operations for stock awards, employee stock options and employee restricted stock units (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 2022 Cost of revenues $ 75 $ 65 Marketing and sales ( 25 ) 137 General and administrative 1,120 323 Research and development 22 17 Total non-cash stock-based compensation $ 1,192 $ 542 20. Employee Retirement Plan In July 2018 the Company established a 401(k) plan that qualifies as a deferred compensation arrangement under Section 401 of the IRS Code. All eligible employees over the age of 18 and with 4 months’ service are eligible to participate in the plan. The plan provides for Company matching of employee contributions up to 5% of eligible earnings. Company contributions immediately vest. The Company’s matching contribution expense was $ 0.9 million and $ 1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 21. Subsequent Events InnoHold Litigation Matter On April 3, 2023, InnoHold, LLC, Terry Pearce, and Tony Pearce (collectively, the “InnoHold Parties”) filed a complaint against Purple LLC in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned InnoHold, LLC et al. v. Purple Innovation, LLC , Case No. 2023-0393-PAF (Del. Ch. Apr. 3, 2023). The complaint alleges that Purple LLC breached the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Purple Innovation, LLC, dated as of February 2, 2018 (the “LLC Agreement”), and the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing contained therein by failing to pay the full amount of tax distributions owed under the LLC Agreement. The complaint also asserts a claim for indemnification under the LLC Agreement. The InnoHold Parties seek damages of approximately $ 3.0 million in allegedly unpaid tax distributions as well as its legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the litigation.
