This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment No. 2”) amends and supplements the original Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 22, 2020 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on February 12, 2021 (“Amendment No. 1”) (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”). Each of the following is hereinafter individually referred to as a “Reporting Person” and collectively as the “Reporting Persons”. This statement is filed on behalf of:

The Schedule 13D relates to the shares of common stock, $.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) of CuriosityStream Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). Except as amended hereby, the disclosure in the Schedule 13D remains in effect. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 2 have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D as previously filed.

The Original Schedule 13D inadvertently omitted 1,030,448 Shares (the “Escrow Shares”) held by HFM. The Escrow Shares were being held in escrow and were subject to forfeiture during the one-year period following the Merger to satisfy indemnification obligations and pending final working capital calculations. On February 22, 2021, 13,492 of the Escrow Shares were forfeited as a result of final working capital calculations. On October 18, 2021, the remaining 1,016,956 Escrow Shares were released from escrow to HFM.

This Amendment No. 2 is filed solely for purposes of correcting the above referenced omission.

Items 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

In addition, as the manager of HFM, Mr. Hendricks may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of an additional 21,356,188 shares held by HFM.

(“Legacy CuriosityStream”), Software Acquisition Group Inc., HFM and CS Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy CuriosityStream (the “Merger”), with Legacy CuriosityStream surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Software Acquisition Group Inc. (which subsequently changed its name to CuriosityStream Inc.). The Escrow Shares were being held in escrow and were subject to forfeiture during the one-year period following the Merger to satisfy indemnification obligations and pending final working capital calculations. On February 22, 2021, 13,492 of the Escrow Shares were forfeited as a result of final working capital calculations. On October 18, 2021, the remaining 1,016,956 Escrow Shares were released from escrow to HFM.
