+Added: The transaction was part of the Company’s strategic realignment to focus on monetization of premium intellectual property and franchise

+Added: The base purchase price
+Added: under the purchase agreement was $ 0.5 million in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments for net working capital, indebtedness,
+Added: and cash and cash equivalents, on a cash-free, debt-free basis.
+Added: The Company expects to recognize a loss on disposal of approximately $ 0.3

+Added: This estimate is preliminary, unaudited, and subject to change pending finalization of the post-closing working capital
+Added: adjustment pursuant to the purchase agreement, which is expected to be completed within 60 days of closing.

+Added: Frederator Networks did not meet the held-for-sale criteria of ASC 360-10-45-9 as of June 30, 2026.

+Added: the transaction does not qualify for discontinued-operations presentation under ASC 205-20.
+Added: In connection with the closing, Frederator
+Added: Networks, Inc.
+Added: and Project Robot LLC entered into a three-year Channel Distribution Agreement with Frederator Studios, LLC.

+Added: Frederator Studios, LLC and Frederator
+Added: Networks, Inc.

+Added: million, offset by cash used in investing activities of $ 28.8 million.

+Added: primarily due to net income of $ 20.5 million, and a favorable impact of net change in non-cash adjustments of $ 15.1 million, partially

+Added: Net income was driven primarily by a non-recurring
+Added: and non-operating cash receipt of $ 39.2 million representing 50% of the court-approved settlement payments under the Section 16(b) litigation
+Added: settlement agreements.
+Added: The cash provided by financing activities of $ 1.7 million was primarily due to the drawdowns, net of repayments
+Added: and debt issuance costs, from production facilities of $ 1.2 million, proceeds from a warrant exercise of $ 0.6 million, partially offset
+Added: by finance lease payments of $ 0.1 million.
+Added: The cash used in investing activities of $ 28.8 million was primarily due to the investment
+Added: of settlement proceeds in marketable securities of $ 32.8 million, offset by the proceeds received from the redemption of marketable securities
