Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Closing”), Merger Sub will merge with and into Kin with Kin surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Omnichannel (the “Business Combination”). In addition, at the Closing, Omnichannel will be renamed “Kin Insurance, Inc.” Capitalized terms not otherwise defined have the meaning set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.
In connection with the Business Combination, Omnichannel has filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which included a proxy statement mailed to Omnichannel stockholders in connection with Omnichannel’s solicitation for proxies for the vote by Omnichannel’s stockholders in connection with the Business Combination and other matters as described in such Registration Statement and a prospectus relating to the offer of the securities to be issued to Kin’s stockholders in connection with the completion of the Business Combination.
On January 14, 2022, the parties entered into the First Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to the Amendment, the parties have agreed, among other things, (i) to provide for the treatment of certain Company Restricted Stock and Company Restricted Stock Units as of the Effective Time and (ii) that the Termination Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) of the proposed transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement shall be shortened to February 14, 2022; provided, that the right to terminate the Business Combination Agreement shall not be available to the Company until the earlier of (i) the seventh (7) Business Day following the date of the SPAC Stockholders Meeting or (ii) April 19, 2022.
A copy of the Amendment is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

Forward-Looking Statements
This communication includes “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “forecast,” “intend,” “seek,” “target,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “plan,” “outlook,” and “project” and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. Such forward looking statements with respect to revenues, earnings, performance, strategies, prospects and other aspects of the business of Kin or the combined company after completion of the Business Combination are based on current expectations that are subject to risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those indicated by such forward looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the transaction agreement and the proposed Business Combination contemplated thereby; (2) the inability to complete the transactions contemplated by the transaction agreement due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of Omnichannel or other conditions to closing in the transaction agreement; (3) the ability to meet the NYSE’s listing standards following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the transaction agreement; (4) the risk that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations of Kin as a result of the announcement and consummation of the transactions described herein; (5) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (6) costs related to the proposed Business Combination; (7) changes in applicable laws or regulations; and (8) the possibility that Kin may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of Omnichannel’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other documents filed by Omnichannel from time to time with the SEC and the registration statement on Form S-4 and proxy statement/prospectus discussed above. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Omnichannel and Kin assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Nothing in this communication should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved.
