−Removed: As previously disclosed in the
−Removed: Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K, initially filed with the SEC on July 6, 2022 and July 22, 2022, the Board retained outside
−Removed: counsel to conduct the Internal Investigation that revealed instances of non-compliance with state and federal laws concerning the state
−Removed: in which tickets are procured as well as order fulfillment, and issues pertaining to the Company’s internal accounting controls.
−Removed: Certain of these issues contributed to the Company’s auditors’ determination that the Company’s audited financial statements
−Removed: for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the unaudited financial statement for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, should no longer be relied
−Removed: upon and required restatement.
−Removed: These issues have had and could
−Removed: continue to have material adverse impacts on us.
−Removed: We and certain of our former officers are the subject of a number of legal proceedings,
−Removed: investigations and inquiries with respect to these issues and have been named as a defendant in a number of lawsuits, including class
−Removed: action lawsuits.
−Removed: We incurred significant costs in connection with the Internal Investigation, including legal expenses and cost associated
−Removed: with the restatement and adjustment of our financial statements.
−Removed: We may also incur material costs associated with our indemnification
−Removed: arrangements with our current and former directors and certain of our officers, as well as other indemnitees.

−Removed: officer liability insurance at reasonable cost or terms in the future.
−Removed: These issues have also led to material adverse impacts on our operations,
−Removed: including the Operational Cessation, our reputation and our relationships with business partners, as well as material adverse impacts
−Removed: on our financial position, including incurred costs and expenses and our ability to raise new capital in the future.
−Removed: Further, our senior

−Removed: We are unable to predict the outcome of these
−Removed: legal proceedings, investigations and inquiries, and we could be forced to expend significant resources in the defense of these

−Removed: We are also generally obligated, to the extent permitted by law, to indemnify our
−Removed: current and former directors and officers who are named in these and similar actions and do not have an effective director and officer
