Revenue is earned through service revenue transactions, by which we generate commissions by selling goods or services on behalf of third-party merchants. Service revenue also includes commissions we earn when customers make purchases with retailers using digital coupons accessed through our digital properties.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">Our revenue in each of the Local, Goods and Travel categories is reported on a net basis as the purchase price collected from the customer less the portion of the purchase price that is payable to the third-party merchant.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">Our strategy is to be the trusted marketplace where customers go to buy local services and experiences.

It further considered and evaluated, with input from its advisors, the availability of other potential sources of financing, and the respective potential advantages and disadvantages of those alternatives to the Company, including certainty of funding and cost of capital. It concluded that the terms of the Rights Offering, and the transactions contemplated thereby were in the best interests of the Company&#8217;s stockholders. The Board, with Messrs. Senkypl and Barta abstaining, approved (on the terms recommended by the Audit Committee) both the Backstop Agreement and the Amended and Restated Standstill Agreement on November 7, 2023. Also on November 7, 2023, the Board further approved the terms of the Rights Offering (on the terms recommended by the Audit Committee), that the Company enter into an Amendment to its Existing Credit Agreement in connection with the Rights Offering (as further described in &#8220;Prospectus Supplement Summary -- Recent Developments&#8221;) and that the Company proceed with the launch of the Rights Offering. In addition to the Audit Committee&#8217;s input and recommendation, as well as the factors listed above, the Board also considered the availability of other potential sources of financing, and the respective potential advantages and disadvantages of those alternatives to the Company, including certainty of funding and cost of capital. It concluded that the pursuit of the Rights Offering was in the best interests of the Company&#8217;s stockholders and therefore determined to approve the terms of the Rights Offering and the launch of the Rights Offering.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">The Company and the Backstop Party subsequently executed the Backstop Agreement and the Amended and Restated Standstill Agreement on November 9, 2023.

The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable underwriting agreement. We may offer the securities to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. Subject to certain conditions, the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement, other than securities covered by any option to purchase additional shares or other option. If a dealer is used in the sale of securities, we, or an underwriter, will sell the securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale. To the extent required, we will set forth in the prospectus supplement the name of the dealer and the terms of the transaction. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may change from time to time. We may use underwriters, dealers or agents with whom we have a material relationship. We will describe in the prospectus supplement, naming the underwriter, dealer or agent, the nature of any such relationship.</font></div><div style="height:72pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;text-align:center"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:139%">21</font></div></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div style="min-height:72pt;width:100%"><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;padding-right:-22.5pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><font><br></font></div></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:139%">We may sell securities directly or through agents we designate from time to time.

In addition, we may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of common stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of our common stock. In addition, we may loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities using this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:139%">All securities we may offer, other than common stock and the warrants, will be new issues of securities with no established trading market.

An underwriter&#8217;s option to purchase additional shares involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum price. Syndicate-covering or other short-covering transactions involve purchases of the securities, either through exercise of the option to purchase additional shares or in the open market after the distribution is completed, to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:139%">Any underwriters, dealers or agents that are qualified market makers on the NASDAQ may engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on the NASDAQ in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering, before the commencement of offers or sales of the common stock. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security&#59; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker&#8217;s bid, however, the passive market maker&#8217;s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.</font></div><div style="height:72pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;text-align:center"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:139%">22</font></div></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div style="min-height:72pt;width:100%"><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;padding-right:-22.5pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><font><br></font></div></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;text-align:center"><font id="i48617ae86e964836a7b6834b90be2854_67919"></font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:139%">LEGAL MATTERS</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:139%">The validity of the securities being offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Winston &#38; Strawn LLP, Chicago, Illinois.
