Important Terms and Conditions
- Rights attach to shares of ContextLogic common stock and are not separately transferable or tradable: For the duration of the Subscription Period, the ContextLogic common stock and associated Right will trade together under the ticker symbol LOGC.d. If you sell your ContextLogic common stock in the open market during the Subscription Period, the Rights transfer along with the ContextLogic common stock to the buyer and vice versa. Both the ContextLogic common stock and associated Rights are only transferable prior to the exercise of the associated Rights.
- Exercise is irrevocable: Once you exercise your Rights, you cannot cancel or revoke your exercise. If we amend this Rights Offering to allow for an extension of this Rights Offering for a period of more than 30 days or make a fundamental change to terms set forth in the Prospectus, holders may cancel their subscription and receive a refund on any money previously advanced. Holders should not exercise their Rights unless they are certain that they wish to purchase additional shares of ContextLogic common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per full share.
- Shareholders can continue to acquire ContextLogic common stock during Subscription Period: During the Subscription Period, you may continue to purchase additional shares of ContextLogic common stock in the open market, those shares will continue to have Rights attached to them and you may exercise the Rights attached to those shares. However, once you exercise any Rights, those specific shares of ContextLogic common stock (along with their associated Rights) will be held in a suspense account at The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTC") and are non-transferable and non-tradeable until the Rights Offering closes.
- Non-transferability of ContextLogic common stock upon exercise: In order to exercise your Rights, you must submit the associated shares of ContextLogic common stock which will be held in a DTC suspense account and will be non-transferable and non-tradeable until the consummation or termination of the Rights Offering. For example, if you hold 100 shares of ContextLogic common stock (with 100 Rights attached) and exercise 50 of such shares of ContextLogic common stock (with their 50 Rights), those 50 shares of ContextLogic common stock (with their 50 Rights) will not be able to be traded or transferred until the Rights Offering is completed or terminated. Your remaining 50 unexercised shares of ContextLogic common stock (with their 50 Rights) can continue to be traded normally.
- 4.9% ownership threshold for NOL protection: To preserve the Company's approximately $2.9 billion in net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs"), no stockholder may exercise Rights to the extent its holdings will equal or exceed 4.9% of ContextLogic common stock after completion of the Rights Offering without prior Board approval. The Company reserves the right to reduce or reject any subscription that would result in a stockholder owning 4.9% or more of outstanding ContextLogic common stock. By exercising Rights, you represent that you do not and will not own 4.9% or more of ContextLogic common stock. If your exercise would result in 4.9%+ ownership, you must contact the Information Agent immediately at the email below.
- No fractional shares: Fractional shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole share, with the subscription price (the money tendered upon exercise of the Rights) adjusted accordingly.
- No minimum purchase: You may exercise any number of your Rights or none at all. There is no minimum subscription requirement.
- Unexercised rights expire: Rights not exercised by the Expiration Time (as may be extended by the Company at its option) will expire and have no value.
- US Salt Acquisition: The Rights Offering is expected to close immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction and is contingent upon the satisfaction of the closing conditions of the US Salt Acquisition as described in the Purchase Agreement dated December 8, 2025 (the "Purchase Agreement"). We reserve the right to cancel this Rights Offering at any time. If this Rights Offering is cancelled or if the Transaction is not consummated, any money tendered for the exercise of Rights will be promptly returned by mail to exercising holders, without interest or deduction.
Full Backstop Commitment:
The Rights Offering is fully backstopped by Abrams Capital and BC Partners Credit, pursuant to the previously disclosed backstop agreements at an effective purchase price of $8.00 per share.
