Mr. Berman's principal occupation is to serve as the managing member of HumanCo Investments, LLC ("HumanCo Investments"). The principal business of the Reporting Persons is to invest in both private and publicly-traded equity and equity-related securities of companies in the health, wellness and sustainability industries. The Reporting Persons, either directly or through their affiliates (including HumanCo and HumanCo Investments), may from time to time provide strategic advice to, or take an active role in the management of, portfolio companies. Mr. Karp is the sole Manager of HCI Grove and Mr. Berman is the sole Manager of HCI Grove Management.

During the last five years, no Reporting Person has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

During the last five years, no Reporting Person has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which it or he is or was subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Each of HCI Grove and HCI Grove Management is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each of Jason H. Karp and Ross Berman is a citizen of the United States.

The shares reported herein as being beneficially owned by HCI Grove were acquired pursuant to that certain Subscription Agreement, dated as of November 10, 2022 (the "Subscription Agreement"), between the Issuer and HCI Grove. Under the Subscription Agreement, the Company issued and sold to HCI Grove 1,984,126 shares of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock for $2.5 million. HCI Grove used working capital provided by its affiliates to fund such purchase. Concurrently with the execution of the Subscription Agreement, the Issuer entered into a consulting services agreement with HCI Grove Management, pursuant to which, among other things, the Issuer issued to HCI Grove Management the Consulting Warrant (as defined below) as partial consideration for the consulting services to be provided thereunder. Mr. Karp acquired 520,000 shares of Class A Common Stock owned directly by him for an aggregate purchase price of $764,400, using personal funds. Mr. Berman acquired 194,999 shares of Class A Common Stock owned directly by him for an aggregate purchase price of $339,493, using personal funds. The Reporting Persons may effect purchases of the shares of Class A Common Stock through margin accounts maintained with prime brokers, which extend margin credit as and when required to open or carry positions in their margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and such firms' credit policies. Positions in the shares of Class A Common Stock may be held in margin accounts and may be pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in such accounts. Since other securities may be held in such margin accounts, it may not be possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the shares of Class A Common Stock.

The Reporting Persons acquired the shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by them (the "Shares") for general investment purposes based on their belief that the Shares, when purchased, represented an attractive investment opportunity. The Reporting Persons originally acquired and held the Shares without the purpose of changing or influencing the control of the Issuer, and as such, the Reporting Persons have reported their holdings of the Shares on Schedule 13G. However, as described below, the Reporting Persons believe the securities of the Issuer are undervalued and that the Issuer's board of directors (the "Board") must pursue strategic alternatives, such as a sale, merger or take-private transaction, in order to maximize shareholder value. Consistent with the foregoing, on July 8, 2025, the Reporting Persons delivered an open letter to the Board detailing their view that the Issuer has a significant opportunity available to it, but operational, financial and shareholder performance have been impaired as a result of the Issuer's inability to balance both growth and profitability due to its significant cost burden (the "July 8 Letter"). As set forth in the July 8 Letter, the Reporting Persons believe shareholder returns have been largely impaired as well due to a lack of investor relevance given its small market capitalization and limited float. The July 8 Letter urges the Board to prioritize maximizing shareholder value by pursuing strategic alternatives, including a sale to a strategic company, a merger with a profitable partner or a take-private with a financial sponsor. A copy of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 1. No Reporting Person currently has any plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any other action specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and, depending upon the price and availability of shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer, its business and its prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, general stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations and other factors considered relevant, may decide at any time to increase or to decrease the size of their investment in the Issuer in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The Reporting Persons also may take other actions with respect to their investment as they deem appropriate, including engaging in discussions with management of the Issuer and the Board, engaging in discussions with stockholders of the Issuer or other third parties about the Issuer and the Reporting Persons' investment, including potential business combinations or dispositions involving the Issuer or certain of its businesses, making recommendations or proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the capitalization of the Issuer, ownership structure, Board structure (including Board composition), potential business combinations or dispositions involving the Issuer or certain of its businesses, or suggestions for improving the Issuer's financial and/or operational performance, purchasing additional shares of Class A Common Stock, selling some or all of their shares of Class A Common Stock, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Class A Common Stock, including swaps and other derivative instruments, or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.

As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons beneficially own an aggregate of 2,188,109 shares of Class A Common Stock, representing approximately 5.4% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (based upon 40,254,806 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding as of May 8, 2025, as set forth on the front cover of the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2025 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 2015). (1) HCI Grove Number of shares: 1,111,110 Percentage of shares: 2.8% (2) HCI Grove Management Number of shares: 362,000 Percentage of shares: 0.9% (3) Jason H. Karp Number of shares: 1,631,110 (comprised of (i) 520,000 shares of Class A Common Stock held by Mr. Karp directly and (ii) 1,111,110 shares of Class A Common Stock held by HCI Grove, of which Mr. Karp is the sole Manager) Percentage of shares: 4.1% (4) Ross Berman Number of shares: 556,999 (comprised of (i) 194,999 shares of Class A Common Stock held by Mr. Berman directly and (ii) 362,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a warrant held by HCI Grove Management, of which Mr. Berman is the sole Manager) Percentage of shares: 1.4%

See rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock as to which each Reporting Person has the sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote and sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition.

None of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in the Issuer's Class A Common Stock during the 60 days preceding the date of this Schedule 13D except as set forth on Schedule A. All of the transactions described in Schedule A were effected in open market transactions on the New York Stock Exchange in the ordinary course of the Reporting Person's business, unless otherwise noted therein.

No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Class A Common Stock.

Not applicable.

Consulting Warrant In consideration for the services under the Consulting Services Agreement, dated as of November 10, 2022, by and between the Issuer and HCI Grove Management, the Issuer (i) paid HCI Grove Management an upfront fee of $150,000 and (ii) issued HCI Grove Management a warrant (the "Consulting Warrant") to purchase 905,000 shares (on an adjusted basis) of Class A Common Stock (the "Consulting Warrant Shares") at an exercise price per share of $6.30 (on an adjusted basis), subject to further adjustment as provided in the Consulting Warrant (the "Exercise Price"). The Consulting Warrant was immediately exercisable with respect to 40% of the Consulting Warrant Shares. The Consulting Warrant provided that it would vest and become exercisable with respect to the unvested Consulting Warrant Shares if, prior to December 31, 2024, the Issuer were to achieve at least $100.0 million in quarterly net revenue on a consolidated basis or if the Issuer were to consummate a Change of Control, as defined in the Consulting Warrant. Such vesting criteria were not achieved within the prescribed timeframe and, accordingly, the Consulting Warrant is currently exercisable for the 362,000 shares reported herein as being beneficially owned by HCI Grove Management. The foregoing description of the Consulting Warrant is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Consulting Warrant, the form of which is attached (or incorporated by reference) as Exhibit 2 hereto.
