**Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

In March 2023, we expanded our existing relationship with a leading national value-conscious consumer retail chain, through which we will be deploying an additional 1,500 Redbox kiosks at such retailer's store locations throughout the United States during the next two years, with approximately 1,000 kiosks slated to be installed in 2023. As a result of this expanded relationship, we estimate that more than 5,000 Redbox kiosks will be deployed at such retailer's store locations nationwide by the end of 2024.

We believe that the expansion of our Redbox kiosk availability, combined with the projected expansion of major film releases by third-party studios during 2023, including popular franchises such as *Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse*, *Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3*, *Fast X, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts,* and *Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny* and our negotiated rights with studios for early access to these and other films, will drive improved revenue results for our Redbox kiosk business.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding expectations, intentions and strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words "target," "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "possible," "potential," "predicts," "project," "should," "would" and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Company and its subsidiaries. There can be no assurance that future developments will be those that have been anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve many risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the Company's control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
