−Removed: shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of the number of shares of Rumble capital

−Removed: While CFVI was the legal acquirer of
−Removed: Legacy Rumble, Legacy Rumble was identified as the acquirer for accounting purposes.
−Removed: The Qualifying Transaction is accounted for as a
−Removed: reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S.
−Removed: Under this method of accounting, CFVI is treated as the acquired company for financial
