<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in; background-color: white">On March 19, 2018,
TheMaven, Inc. (&ldquo;Maven&rdquo;) entered into a non-binding letter of intent to acquire privately held Say Media Inc. (&ldquo;Say
Media&rdquo;), a media and publishing technology company (the &ldquo;Letter of Intent&rdquo;). The acquisition will be subject
to negotiation and execution of definitive documentation and various conditions precedent. The parties expect to complete acquisition
documentation, employment agreements and other ancillary agreements and satisfy the closing conditions some time during the second
or third quarter of this year.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in; background-color: white">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in; background-color: white">Pursuant to the
terms of the non-binding Letter of Intent, the aggregate consideration proposed to be payable in connection with the acquisition
of Say Media is $20 million, comprised of (A) $7.5 million in cash, consisting of (i) a $1 million Note (as described below), and
(ii) $6.5 million in cash; (B) $9.6 million of Maven common stock and options to purchase shares of Maven common stock (valued
at a price of $2.50 per share), consisting of (i) 2,088,900 shares of common stock to be issued at closing to the stockholders
of Say Media, and (ii) 1,751,100 options to purchase shares of common stock to be issued to certain employees of Say Media who
accept offers of continued employment with Say Media as the surviving company; and (C) $2.9 million in cash and common stock consisting
of (i) a $2.5 million short-term, secured promissory note due 90 days after closing, (the &ldquo;Maven Note&rdquo;), to be secured
by all of the assets, tangible and intangible, of Maven and its subsidiaries (including HubPages, Inc. and/or Say Media, assuming
the consummation of those respective acquisitions), and (ii) 160,000 shares of common stock, to be issued to an affiliated entity
of Say Media&rsquo;s chief executive officer (the &ldquo;Say Lender&rdquo;), in satisfaction of certain senior promissory notes
issued by Say Media. All of the foregoing acquisition consideration is subject to adjustment if the average monthly unique users
across Say Media&rsquo;s content management system and publishing platform (the &ldquo;Say Media Platform&rdquo;) for the 60 days
prior to closing is less than 40 million; provided that the 160,000 shares of common stock to be issued to the Say Lender is subject
to adjustment if the average credited monthly unique users on the Say Media Platform for the 60 days prior to the maturity date
of the Maven Note is less than 70 million. Maven will have to obtain financing to fund the cash portion of the acquisition consideration,
and there can be no assurance that Maven will be able to obtain the necessary funds on terms acceptable to it or at all. Accordingly,
there is no assurance that the proposed acquisition will be completed as contemplated.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in; background-color: white">The Letter of Intent
contemplates that at closing, $1.5 million will be placed into an indemnity escrow for 24 months, with $750,000 to be released
after 12 months. In addition, 15% of shares of Maven common stock to be issued to the stockholders of Say Media and 15% of the
shares of Maven common stock to be issued to the Say Lender will be locked-up to satisfy any indemnification claims, with 100%
of those shares to be lock-up for a period of 12 months and 50% of those shares to be lock-up for a period of 24 months. Maven
has committed to issuing up to a maximum of 4 million additional shares of common stock if the recipients of the equity consideration,
if and when they sell their equity after vesting during the 36 months after closing, if the sales price achieved is less than $2.50.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in; background-color: white">In connection with
the Letter of Intent, on March 26, 2018, Maven loaned $1,000,000 to Say Media and was issued a secured promissory note in the principal
amount of $1,000,000 from Say Media (the &ldquo;Note&rdquo;). The Note bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum and is secured
against all of the assets of Say Media. The Note is due and payable on the six month anniversary of the earlier of (i) the termination
of the Letter of Intent or (ii) if Maven and Say Media should execute a definitive agreement with respect to the proposed acquisition,
the termination of the definitive agreement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in; background-color: white">Management believes
that once the planned acquisition of Say Media, together with the previously announced planned acquisition of HubPages, Inc, are
completed, the combined company will be profitable in the fourth quarter of 2018, generating a projected over $30 million in annualized
revenue. The combined company will offer:</P>
