Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officers and principal financial and accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s co-principal executive officers and its principal accounting and finance officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024 were effective.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. In conducting its evaluation, our management used the criteria set forth by the framework in the 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, management believes our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2024.
Under guidelines established by the SEC, companies are allowed to exclude an acquired business from management's report on internal control over financial reporting for the first year subsequent to the acquisition while integrating the acquired operations. However, business combination and entity level controls are not covered by the exemption. The Company acquired Bloomia on February 22, 2024. Accordingly, management excluded Bloomia from its assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Business combination and entity level controls were assessed. Total assets and net loss of Bloomia represented approximately 98% and 50%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Table of Contents
Other than the Bloomia acquisition , as discussed below, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the year, we completed the acquisition of a majority interest in Bloomia B.V. (“Bloomia”) which represents a material change in internal control over financial reporting since management’s last assessment. Prior to the acquisition, Bloomia was a private company and has not been subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the rules and regulations of the SEC, or other corporate governance requirements to which public reporting companies may be subject. As part of our ongoing integration activities, we are continuing to incorporate our controls and procedures into the acquired Bloomia subsidiaries and to augment our company-wide controls to reflect the risks inherent in an acquisition of this type. In particular, the Company adopted controls related to impairment of long-lived assets and the determination of a weighted-average interest rate in the fiscal year as these are critical accounting estimates resulting from the acquisition.
Item 9B. Other Information
During the three months ended December 31, 2024, no director or officer of the Company adopted , modified or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

These components of compensation are summarized below, followed by a description of each Named Executive Officer’s individual agreements with the Company and the compensation received thereunder.
Base Salaries
Base salaries for each of our Named Executive Officers were initially established based on arm’s-length negotiations with the applicable executive. The GCN Committee reviews each executive officer’s salary at least annually. When negotiating or reviewing base salaries, the committee considers market competitiveness based on the experience of its members, the executive’s expected future contributions to our success and the relative salaries and responsibilities of our other executives, in addition to any applicable terms of any employment agreement with the executive. During fiscal year 2024, no changes were made to any Named Executive Officer’s annual base salary.

Bonus Arrangements
CEO Bonuses
On June 3, 2024, Mr. Jundt received a cash payment of $50,000 as recommended by the GCN Committee and approved by the Board of Directors, recognizing his extraordinary contributions to the negotiation and completion of the Bloomia Acquisition.
Mr. Uglem’s bonus arrangement for 2024 and 2023 provided that he was eligible to receive a potential payout based on achievement of performance targets established by the Board and prorated based on the period of his employment with the Company. Mr. Uglem received $67,500 in fiscal years 2024 and 2023 related to performance targets achieved in fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively. In fiscal year 2024, Mr. Uglem was transitioned to a quarterly bonus and received $78,750 in bonus payments related to performance targets achieved in fiscal year 2024.
CFO Bonus Arrangements
Beginning with the second quarter of the 2024 fiscal year, Ms. McShane was eligible to earn and receive a discretionary quarterly cash incentive compensation award, with a target quarterly cash incentive compensation award of thirty-five percent (35%) of the Base Salary and a maximum quarterly cash incentive compensation award of sixty-five percent (65%) of the Base Salary. There is no minimum guaranteed quarterly cash incentive amount and any quarterly cash incentive award determined by the Board in its sole discretion based on achievement of performance targets as proposed by management and approved by the Board. In fiscal year 2024, Ms. McShane earned $66,399 of incentive compensation.
In fiscal year 2024, Mr. Weber received $48,000 of incentive compensation related to performance targets achieved in fiscal year 2023.
Retention Bonus Arrangements
In January 2023, the GCN Committee approved a retention bonus opportunity for Mr. Weber, with a potential payout of $48,000. The bonus was conditioned upon Mr. Weber being continuously employed by the Company through December 31, 2023. The 2023 retention bonus was paid in full in 2023.
Effective August 4, 2023, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Weber, amending certain terms of his employment agreement and his existing retention letter agreement from January 2023 to, among other things payout his January retention bonus no later than August 7, 2023; and provide for an additional retention bonus of $150,000. Mr. Weber was eligible to earn the second retention bonus if (1) the Company timely filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 and (2) he remained employed by the Company through at least March 31, 2024 or such later date on which the annual report is timely filed. If the Company had terminated Mr. Weber’s employment without cause before such payment date, then he would have received the second retention bonus payment, subject to his signing and not rescinding a release of claims. The second retention payment was paid in full in April 2024.
Employment Agreements
The Company was party to employment agreements with Mr. Uglem and Mr. Weber. Each employment agreement provided that the employee would have received an established annual base salary, subject to increase from time to time, target incentive compensation awards, and participation in customary benefit plans and programs.
We are party to an employment agreement with Ms. McShane dated May 2, 2024, pursuant to which she is entitled to an initial base salary of $225,000. For each of our fiscal quarters, beginning with the second quarter of 2024, Ms. McShane is eligible to earn and receive a discretionary quarterly cash incentive compensation award, with a target quarterly cash incentive compensation award of 35% and a maximum quarterly cash incentive compensation award of 65%, in each case based on the base salary paid to her during that quarter, with no minimum guaranteed quarterly cash incentive amount. The actual amount of any quarterly cash incentive award will be determined by the GCN Committee in its sole discretion. Performance targets for annual or quarterly cash incentive compensation also may be determined by the Board in its
36
Table of Contents
discretion. Ms. McShane will also be eligible to participate in our other benefits programs, including awards under our employee stock purchase plan and other equity incentive plans.
We are party to employment agreements with Messrs. Jundt and Mr. Philp, in each case dated June 11, 2024, pursuant to which each is entitled to receive an initial base salary of $100,000. The employment agreements do not contain any provisions for cash or equity incentive programs or severance.
Severance and Change in Control Arrangements with Named Executive Officers
Under the employment agreements with Mr. Uglem and Mr. Weber, in the event of the employee’s involuntary termination without cause or voluntary termination with good reason, provided that the employee signs a release and agrees to post-termination restrictive covenants, he will be eligible to receive accrued and unpaid compensation as well as the following severance pay and benefits: (1) the annual incentive compensation they would have been entitled to receive for the year in which their termination occurs as if they had continued until the end of that fiscal year, determined based on the Company’s actual performance for that year relative to any applicable performance goals, prorated for the number of days in the fiscal year through the termination date and generally payable in a cash lump sum at the time such incentive awards are payable to other participants; (2) a percentage ( 50% for Mr. Uglem and Mr. Weber) of their annual base salary as in effect at the time of termination, payable in a single lump sum payment no later than 60 days following the termination date; and (3) welfare benefit continuation for six months for Mr. Uglem and for three months for Mr. Weber following termination. In the event of death, disability, involuntary termination for cause or voluntary termination without good reason, each will be entitled to accrued and unpaid compensation as provided in the Employment Agreement. “Cause” was defined in each Employment Agreement as (a) the deliberate and continued failure to substantially perform the duties and responsibilities; (b) the criminal felony conviction of, or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere; (c) the material violation of Company policy; (d) the act of fraud or dishonesty resulting or intended to result in personal enrichment at the expense of the Company; (e) the gross misconduct in performance of duties that results in material economic harm to the Company; or (f) the material breach of the Employment Agreement by the employee. Both of the employment agreements defined “good reason” to include demotion, reduction in salary or benefits, and certain other events.
Mr. Uglem departed all positions with the Company voluntarily and he did not receive any severance payment or other termination benefits.
Mr. Weber departed all positions with the Company citing “good reason.” The Company had previously agreed to extend the period during which Mr. Weber could assert “good reason” with respect to the August 2023 sale of its in-store marketing business through April 15, 2024 and had further agreed to extend that period through April 30, 2024 pursuant to a letter agreement dated April 16, 2024. Mr. Weber has expressed his commitment to ensuring a smooth transition of his responsibilities. He received a severance payment totaling $80,000.
The employment with Ms. McShane provides that, if Ms. McShane’s employment is terminated by us for any reason other than “cause” (as defined in the agreement), then, provided that she signs a release and agrees to post-termination restrictive covenants, she will be eligible to receive accrued and unpaid compensation as well as the sum of six months of her annualize base salary as of the date of the termination, less all legally required and authorized deductions and withholdings, payable in substantially equal increments during the six-month period following the termination date. So long as she is employed by us longer than one year, that amount will increase by one month for every full year of service, up to a total of twelve months.

(1) Reflects annual Board retainer for attending Board, committee and conference call meetings earned during fiscal year 2024, inclusive of amounts related to the Director Deferred Compensation Plan for Director. As of December 31, 2024, the following directors held shares under the Plan: Ms. Herfurth held 6,634 shares, Mr. Johnson held 10,676 shares, Mr. Jundt held 4,756 shares, Mr. Kelly held 5,125 shares, Mr. Philp held 6,521 shares, and Mr. Swenson held 8,030 shares.
(2) Messrs. Jundt and Philp were appointed to serve as Co-Chief Executive Officers effective July 1, 2024. The compensation above is related to their service prior to becoming employees.
In 2024, non-employee directors received an annual cash retainer of $17,000 per year of service and the Chairman of the Board and each Committee Chair were eligible to receive an additional annual cash retainer of $5,000.
Director Deferred Compensation
Mary Herfurth, Chad Johnson, Mark Jundt, Matthew Kelly, Daniel Philp and Nicholas Swenson, each a non-employee director, are eligible to participate in our director deferred compensation plan (the “Director Deferred Compensation Plan”), which allows a director to make voluntary deferrals of up to 100% of their annual cash retainer and any additional committee chair cash retainer. The Company does not match any contributions to the Director Deferred Compensation Plan. Deferred cash retainer amounts, if any, are deemed to be invested in common stock equivalents having a value equal to the deferred cash retainer amounts based on the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the dates such amount would have otherwise been paid to the participant. Dividends, if any, accrued on such common stock equivalents are deemed to be similarly deferred and credited to the director’s deferred stock account. A participating director will receive a distribution of their deferred stock account, consisting of one share of stock for each common stock equivalent credited to their deferred stock account as of the date of distribution, as soon as practicable following the director’s separation from service as a director of the Company.
Section 5.9 of the Director Deferred Compensation Plan provides that, in the event a “change in control” of the Company occurs, each director will receive a lump sum distribution of cash equal to the value of all common stock equivalents credited to such director’s account as of the immediately preceding quarterly payment date based on the highest “fair market value” during the 30 days immediately preceding the change in control. As defined in the Plan, a “change in control” includes, among other things, a consummation of an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets subject to certain exceptions. However, the Board waived applicability of Section 5.9 of the Plan with respect to the completion of the sale of our legacy in-store marketing business. Accordingly, the Director Deferred Compensation Plan is expected to continue to remain in place under its current terms and conditions.

(1) Award vests in equal installments on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date.
Tax Considerations
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code also affects the payments of certain types of deferred compensation to key employees and includes requirements relating to when payments under such arrangements can be made, acceleration of benefits, and timing of elections under such arrangements. Failure to satisfy these requirements will generally lead to an acceleration of the timing for including deferred compensation in an employee's income, as well as certain penalties and interest.
Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards
We do not have any formal policy that requires us to grant, or avoid granting, equity awards to our executive officers at certain times . The timing of any equity grants to executive officers in connection with new hires, promotions, or other
non-routine grants is tied to the event giving rise to the award (such as an executive officer’s commencement of employment or promotion effective date). As a result, in all cases, the timing of the grant of stock options, occurs independent of the release of any material, non-public information, and we do not time the disclosure of material
non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value or exercise price of stock options .

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence
Certain Relationships and Related-Party Transactions
The following is a summary of transactions since January 1, 2022 to which our Company has been a party and in which the amount involved exceeded $120,000, and in which any of our directors, executive officers, or beneficial owners of more than 10% of our capital stock had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than the compensation arrangements that are described under the heading “Executive Compensation” above. Except as disclosed below, there were no other such transactions and we do not have any currently proposed transaction or series of similar transactions.
Delayed Draw Term Note
On August 15, 2024, the Company entered into an unsecured Delayed Draw Term Note (the “Note”) with Air T pursuant to which Air T has agreed to advance from time to time until August 15, 2026, but not on a revolving basis, up to $2,500,000 to fund the Company’s operations. Amounts outstanding under the Note will bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.0%, which may be increased by 3.0% upon certain events of default. The entire principal amount outstanding on the loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon as set forth below, shall be due and payable in full on the earlier of (i) August 15, 2029, (ii) the Company’s receipt of a written demand by the Air T delivered on or after February 15, 2026, and (iii) such earlier date as all principal owing thereunder becomes due and payable by acceleration or otherwise (the “Maturity Date”). The Company may prepay any loan outstanding thereunder, together with accrued and unpaid interest on such loan, at any time without prepayment or penalty. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $3,500,000 outstanding under the Note and had incurred $69,000 of deferred interest expense.
On September 27, 2024, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Delayed Draw Term Note (the “Amended Note”) with Air T pursuant to which Air T has agreed to advance up to an additional $1,000,000 from time to time until August 15, 2026, but not on a revolving basis. The Amended Note provides for total borrowing of up to $3,500,000 to fund the Company’s operations. On January 15, 2025, the note was amended again to increase the total borrowing to $3,750,000. As previously disclosed, amounts outstanding under the Amended Note bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.0%, which may be increased by 3.0% upon certain events of default. The Amended Note remains scheduled to mature and all principal and accrued but unpaid interest will become due on August 15, 2029, subject to Air T’s right to demand payment on or after February 15, 2026. No closing or origination fees will be paid to the Air T.
Bridge Loan
As previously disclosed, our acquisition of Bloomia B.V. (“Bloomia”) in February 2024 through our subsidiary, Tulp 24.1, LLC (the “U.S. Subsidiary”), was funded in part by $12.1 million cash proceeds pursuant to a bridge loan agreement, dated February 22, 2024 (the “Bridge Loan Agreement”), of which approximately $400,000 was provided by Mr. Jansen, who became an executive officer of the Company in connection with the closing of the acquisition. Interest will accrue and become payable annually on the outstanding balance under the Bridge Loan Agreement, starting at 8% for the first year and increasing 2% upon each of the four anniversaries thereafter. The Company has provided an unsecured guaranty of the obligations of the U.S. Subsidiary under the bridge loan. As of December 31, 2024 no cash interest had been paid and $1,331,000 of interest expense was accrued under the Bridge Loan Agreement. The text of the Bridge Loan Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2024.

U.S. Subsidiary Ownership
On February 22, 2024, the U.S. Subsidiary adopted an Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “LLC Agreement”) among the U.S. Subsidiary, the Company, as the majority member (81.4% ownership interest), and Mr. Jansen, as the sole minority member (18.6% ownership interest). The LLC Agreement provides that the Company is the managing member of the U.S. Subsidiary and holds full and complete discretion to manage and control its business and affairs. The LLC Agreement does not directly provide for compensation to the Company its services as the managing member, but the U.S. Subsidiary will reimburse the Company for all ordinary, necessary and direct expenses incurred when carrying out business for the U.S. Subsidiary. Although the terms of outstanding indebtedness restrict the U.S. Subsidiary’s near-term ability to make distributions, as a member of the U.S. Subsidiary, Mr. Jansen is generally entitled to pro rata participation in distributions subject to any capital account balances or other terms of the LLC Agreement. The text of the LLC Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.4 to the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2024.
Related Person Transaction Approval Policy
The SEC has specific disclosure requirements covering certain types of transactions that we engage in with our directors, executive officers or other specified parties. The Company receives an informational questionnaire from each director, nominee for director, executive officer, and greater than five percent shareholder which contains information about related-party transactions between them and the Company. The Company’s Audit Committee Charter assigns to the Audit Committee the responsibility to review and approve all related-party transactions. The Audit Committee maintains a written policy for reviewing, approving and monitoring transactions involving the Company and related persons. The committee reviews and must approve any related person transaction in which the Company is a participant before commencement of the transaction; provided, however, that if a related person transaction is identified after it commences, it will be brought to the committee for review and possible ratification. In determining whether to approve a related person transaction, the Audit Committee will analyze factors such as whether the transaction is material to the Company, the nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction, including their role in arranging the transaction, whether the transaction would impair the judgement of a director or executive officer to act in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and whether the terms are fair to the Company. The Audit Committee will approve or ratify a transaction only if it determines that the transaction is beneficial to the Company and that the terms of the transaction are fair to the Company. Approval of a related person transaction may be conditioned upon the Company and the related person following certain procedures designated in connection with its approval. With regard to any transaction for which ratification is sought, the Audit Committee may require amendment or termination of the transaction under the authority conferred by the policy.
Corporate Governance and Board Matters
The business and affairs of the Company are conducted under the direction of the Board in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, federal securities laws and regulations, applicable rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq Rules”), Board committee charters and the Company’s Code of Ethics. Members of the Board are informed of the Company’s business through discussions with management, by reviewing Board meeting materials provided to them and by participating in meetings of the Board and its committees, among other activities.
Majority Independent Board
The Nasdaq Rules require that a majority of our Board be “independent directors” as that term is defined in the Nasdaq Rules. Our Board has determined that each of our non-employee directors, namely Mary Herfurth, Chad Johnson, Matthew Kelly and Nick Swenson are “independent directors.” The Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee and the Board considered Mr. Swenson’s inclusion in the Shareholder Group in reaching the conclusion that he is an independent director.
