[&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;], 2026

Dear Stockholders:

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Inspirato Incorporated ("Inspirato," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our"), we are pleased to enclose the accompanying proxy statement relating to a proposed merger of Inspirato with an affiliate of Exclusive Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Exclusive Investments").

On December 16, 2025, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") by and among us, Exclusive Investments and Boomerang Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Exclusive Investments ("Merger Sub"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into Inspirato, with Inspirato surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Exclusive Investments (the "Merger" and the time at which the Merger takes effect, the "Effective Time"). As consideration for the Merger, each outstanding share of Inspirato's Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Inspirato Common Stock") (other than certain excluded shares as described in the accompanying proxy statement), will be automatically converted into the right to receive $4.27, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes (the "Merger Consideration"). In addition, each of Inspirato's publicly traded warrants (the "Public Warrants") outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be treated in the Merger in accordance with its terms, and will represent, following the Merger, the right to receive upon exercise the Merger Consideration that holders would have received if holders had exercised their Public Warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time. The outstanding warrants issued pursuant to the Warrant to Purchase Shares of Class A Common Stock of Inspirato Incorporated, dated as of September 13, 2024, by and between One Planet Group LLC ("One Planet Group") and the Company, as amended (the "Investment Warrants") will be converted into the right to receive the excess of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share for such warrants in accordance with the Merger Agreement. Shares of Inspirato Common Stock held by stockholders who properly demand and do not withdraw or lose their appraisal rights under Delaware law will be entitled to receive payment in accordance with those rights.

To complete the Merger, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Inspirato Common Stock must approve the adoption of the Merger Agreement. After careful consideration, the board of directors of Inspirato (the "Inspirato Board") has unanimously (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of Inspirato and its stockholders, (ii) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, and (iii) resolved to recommend, and does recommend, that Inspirato stockholders vote "FOR" the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement.

A special meeting of stockholders (the "Special Meeting") will be held virtually on [&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;], 2026 at 9:00 a.m., Mountain Time, at [www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ISPO2026SM] to vote on (1) a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement (the "Merger Proposal"), (2) a proposal to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation that may be paid or become payable to Inspirato's named executive officers that is based on or otherwise related to the Merger (the "Merger-Related Compensation Proposal") and (3) a proposal to approve any adjournment of the Special Meeting for the purposes of soliciting additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the Special Meeting to approve the Merger Proposal (the "Adjournment Proposal"). The Board recommends you vote "FOR" the Merger Proposal, "FOR" the Merger Related Compensation Proposal and "FOR" the Adjournment Proposal. You will be able to attend the Special Meeting online, vote your shares electronically, and submit questions during the Special Meeting. Information about the Special Meeting, the Merger, the Merger Agreement, and the other business to be considered by stockholders at the Special Meeting is contained in the proxy statement. The Inspirato Board has fixed the close of business on December 15, 2025 as the record date for the determination of Inspirato stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting. We urge you to read this

See "*Where You Can Find More Information*" on page [60](#i1ba3114197224eedbd5d36ee91b3c747_13).

***Exclusive Investments, LLC***

Exclusive Investments, LLC ("Exclusive Investments"), a privately held Delaware limited liability company, serves as the holding company for and does business as The Exclusive Collective. The Exclusive Collective is a multi-brand luxury travel and lifestyle platform serving high-net-worth individuals and families.

***Boomerang Merger Sub, Inc.***

Boomerang Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), a privately held Delaware corporation, is a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Exclusive Investments that was formed solely for the purpose of facilitating the Merger. At the Effective Time of the Merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into Inspirato, with Inspirato continuing as the surviving company and a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Exclusive Investments.

**The Merger (Page [16](#i1ba3114197224eedbd5d36ee91b3c747_13))**

Inspirato has entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 16, 2025, by and among us, Exclusive Investments and Merger Sub (the "Merger Agreement") . The terms and conditions of the Merger are set forth in the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as <u>Annex A.</u> You are encouraged to read the Merger Agreement in its entirety, as it is the primary legal document governing the Merger and related transactions.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), Merger Sub will merge with and into Inspirato, with Inspirato continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Exclusive Investments. The Merger Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, and covenants of the parties, as well as conditions to closing and termination rights. It also provides for potential termination fees under certain circumstances.

If the Merger is completed, Inspirato will become a privately held company, and the Inspirato Common Stock will no longer be publicly listed.

**Merger Consideration (Page [16](#i1ba3114197224eedbd5d36ee91b3c747_13))**

At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each share of Inspirato Common Stock (other than certain excluded shares) will be converted into the right to receive $4.27 in cash, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes (the "Merger Consideration").

------

Each of Inspirato's publicly traded warrants (the "Public Warrants") outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be treated in the Merger in accordance with its terms, and will represent, following the Merger, the right to receive upon exercise the Merger Consideration that holders would have received if holders had exercised their Public Warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time. The outstanding warrants issued pursuant to the Warrant to Purchase Shares of Class A Common Stock of Inspirato Incorporated, dated as of September 13, 2024, by and between One Planet Group LLC ("One Planet Group") and the Company, as amended (the "Investment Warrants") will be converted into the right to receive the excess of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share for such warrants in accordance with the Merger Agreement. All outstanding equity awards, including awards for restricted stock units covering shares of Inspirato Common Stock ("Company RSUs") and options to purchase shares of Inspirato Common Stock ("Company Options" and, collectively with the Company RSUs, the "Company Awards"), will be treated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, with the Company RSUs to be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration with respect to the total number of shares of Inspirato Common Stock subject thereto and Company Options to be canceled without consideration. See "*The Merger Agreement—Treatment of Warrants*" and "*The Merger Agreement—Treatment of Equity Awards*."

Prior to the Effective Time, Exclusive Investments will designate a nationally recognized bank or trust company to act as the paying agent (the "Paying Agent") for the purposes of effecting the payment of the Merger Consideration to Inspirato stockholders. Exclusive Investments shall pay, or cause to be paid, the fees and expenses of the Paying Agent. Exclusive Investments will deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent cash in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the aggregate Merger Consideration. Following the completion of the Merger, after an Inspirato stockholder has provided the Paying Agent with such stockholder's stock certificates, if applicable, and a letter of transmittal, if required by the Paying Agent, Exclusive Investments will cause the Paying Agent to pay to the stockholder the Merger Consideration to which such stockholder is entitled. Payments to holders of shares of Common Stock in book-entry form who hold such shares through The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") will be handled in accordance with DTC's customary procedures. See "*The Merger Agreement—Payment Procedures*."

**Interests of Inspirato's Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger (Page [29](#i1ba3114197224eedbd5d36ee91b3c747_13))**

Certain directors and executive officers of Inspirato may have interests in the Merger that are different from or in addition to those of Inspirato's stockholders generally. These interests may include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• certain directors and executive officers hold outstanding Inspirato Common Stock and Company RSUs that will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (with respect to Company RSUs, with respect to the total number of shares of Inspirato Common Stock subject thereto), subject to applicable tax withholding;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• certain executive officers are parties to employment arrangements with Inspirato that provide for severance benefits or accelerated vesting of Company RSUs in the event of certain terminations of employment, including, with respect to Payam Zamani, Inspirato's Chief Executive Officer, as contemplated by the CEO Employment Agreement Amendment (as defined herein);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• certain key employees selected by the Inspirato Board may receive stay bonuses that will vest and become payable upon the closing of the Merger;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Mr. Zamani through his beneficial ownership of One Planet Group and Buyerlink Inc. ("Buyerlink"), may receive the benefit of payments to which such entities are entitled upon the conversion of the Investment Warrants in the Merger and under the Affiliate Termination Agreement (as defined herein); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Merger Agreement provides for continued indemnification and directors' and officers' liability insurance to be provided by the Surviving Company.

The board of directors of Inspirato (the "Inspirato Board") was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in evaluating and approving the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and in recommending that the Merger Proposal be approved by Inspirato's stockholders. For additional details, see the section titled *"The Merger—Interests of Inspirato's Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger."*

**Voting and Support Agreement (Page [32](#i1ba3114197224eedbd5d36ee91b3c747_13))**

thereby, including the Merger. The Voting and Support Agreement also contain restrictions on transfer of shares of the Inspirato Common Stock held by the Supporting Stockholders. The Supporting Stockholders collectively beneficially owned approximately 49% of the outstanding shares of Inspirato Common Stock as of the record date.

The Voting and Support Agreement will terminate upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the Effective Time, (ii) the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (iii) the unilateral election of Exclusive Investments to terminate the Voting and Support Agreement or (iv) the mutual written agreement of Exclusive Investments and the Supporting Stockholders to terminate the Voting and Support Agreement. For additional details, see *"The Merger—Ancillary Agreements—Voting and Support Agreement."*

**Amendment to CEO Employment Agreement (Page [49](#i1ba3114197224eedbd5d36ee91b3c747_13))**

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Mr. Zamani and Inspirato entered into an amendment to Mr. Zamani's employment agreement (the "CEO Employment Agreement" and such amendment, the "CEO Employment Agreement Amendment") pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Mr. Zamani's employment with the Company will terminate without cause on the Closing Date (as defined below) and (ii) Mr. Zamani will be eligible to receive severance, subject to his timely execution (and non-revocation) of separation and release agreements, in the aggregate amount of $1.1 million, which is the same amount of severance provided for in his employment agreement prior to the amendment).

**Affiliate Termination Agreement (Page [33](#i1ba3114197224eedbd5d36ee91b3c747_13))**

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Inspirato entered into an Affiliate Termination Agreement with One Planet Group, of which Mr. Zamani is President, CEO and sole beneficial owner, and Buyerlink of which Mr. Zamani is the indirect, beneficial owner, pursuant to which certain existing related party agreements between One Planet Group, Buyerlink and Inspirato will be terminated as of December 31, 2025 and Inspirato will make certain final payments to One Planet Group and Buyerlink in respect of services provided under such agreements. For additional details, see *"The Merger—Ancillary Agreements—Affiliate Termination Agreement."*

**Capital One Termination Agreement (Page [49](#i1ba3114197224eedbd5d36ee91b3c747_13))**

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Inspirato, its subsidiary Inspirato LLC ("Inspirato LLC") and certain subsidiaries of Inspirato LLC, Oakstone Ventures, Inc. ("Oakstone Ventures") and Capital One Services, LLC ("Capital One") entered into a Capital One Termination Agreement (the "Capital One Termination Agreement") pursuant to which (i) Exclusive Investments will acquire from Oakstone Ventures, at the Effective Time, the 8% Senior Secured Convertible Note of Inspirato issued to Oakstone Ventures pursuant to the Investment Agreement dated August 7, 2023 (the "Capital One Note"), pursuant to a binding term sheet between those parties and (ii) the Master Services Agreement between Inspirato LLC and Capital One dated September 29, 2023 was terminated immediately.

**Recommendation of the Board of Directors and its Reasons for Determination (Page[50](#i1ba3114197224eedbd5d36ee91b3c747_13))**

The Inspirato Board has unanimously:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• determined that the Merger is advisable, fair to and in the best interests of Inspirato and its stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• resolved to recommend, and does recommend, that stockholders vote "**FOR**" the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement.

In making its determination to approve the Merger Agreement and recommend that Inspirato stockholders vote in favor of the Merger, the Inspirato Board considered a range of factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The strategic rationale for the Merger**,** including the opportunity for Inspirato stockholders to realize immediate and certain value in cash for their shares, particularly in light of Inspirato's liquidity constraints and the risks associated with remaining a standalone public company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The financial terms of the Merger, including the Merger Consideration payable to Inspirato stockholders, which represented a significant premium to recent trading prices of Inspirato Common Stock prior to the announcement of the Merger.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The fairness opinion received from its independent financial advisor**,** which concluded that, as of the date of such opinion and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, and limitations described therein, the Merger Consideration to be paid to Inspirato stockholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to Inspirato stockholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The arms-length nature of the negotiation process**,** including that Exclusive Investments is an unrelated third party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Inspirato's constrained liquidity and limitations on access to capital, the Company's historical operating losses, the risks associated with Inspirato's ability to fund operations, service obligations, and execute its business plan absent a strategic transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Inspirato Board's belief that the Merger presented the most favorable alternative reasonably available, taking into account its review of strategic options.

For a more detailed discussion of the rationale of the Inspirato Board and supporting materials, including the fairness opinion and related analysis, please see the section titled "*The Merger—Recommendation of the Board of Directors and Its Reasons for Its Determination*."

**Opinion of Financial Advisor (Page[23](#i1ba3114197224eedbd5d36ee91b3c747_13))**

The Inspirato Board received an opinion from its financial advisor, Roth Capital Partners, LLC ("Roth Capital"), dated December 15, 2025, stating that, as of such date, the Merger Consideration to be received by holders of Inspirato Common Stock was fair, from a financial point of view. See "*Opinion of Financial Advisor*."

**Listing of Common Stock and Public Warrants (Page [33](#i1ba3114197224eedbd5d36ee91b3c747_13))**

Following the closing of the Merger, neither the Inspirato Common Stock nor the Public Warrants will be listed on Nasdaq.

Inspirato will use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain compliance with all Nasdaq listing requirements through the closing of the Merger.

**Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences (Page [33](#i1ba3114197224eedbd5d36ee91b3c747_13))**

The exchange of Inspirato Common Stock for the Merger Consideration generally will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A U.S. holder (as defined under "The Merger—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger") that exchanges shares of Inspirato Common Stock for the Merger Consideration generally will recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (a) the amount of cash received (determined before deduction of any applicable withholding taxes) with respect to such shares and (b) such U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in such shares. For a more detailed discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger, including with respect to a holder of Inspirato Common Stock that is a non-U.S. holder (as defined therein), you should read "*The Merger—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger*." You should consult your tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to you in your particular circumstances, as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

**Regulatory Approvals (Page [45](#i1ba3114197224eedbd5d36ee91b3c747_13))**

Under the Merger Agreement, the parties have agreed to use reasonable best efforts to obtain all regulatory clearances necessary to complete the Merger as promptly as reasonably practicable.

The Merger is not subject to required notification under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"). The total value of the aggregate consideration payable in the Merger is approximately $59.0 million, which is below the applicable HSR Act "size-of-transaction" threshold in effect at the time of the signing of the Merger Agreement. As a result, no filings or waiting period under the HSR Act are required.

The parties are currently not aware of any other material federal, state or foreign regulatory approvals required to complete the Merger.

**Appraisal Rights (Page [38](#i1ba3114197224eedbd5d36ee91b3c747_13))**

Holders of Inspirato Common Stock who do not vote in favor of the Merger and who properly demand appraisal of their shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL will be entitled to appraisal rights.

------

**The Special Meeting (Page [50](#i1ba3114197224eedbd5d36ee91b3c747_13))**

The Special Meeting will be held virtually at 9:00 a.m., Mountain Time, on [&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;], 2026. Only holders of record of shares of Inspirato Common Stock at the close of business on December 15, 2025 (the "record date") are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.

The purpose of the Special Meeting is to vote on the following proposals:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Proposal 1 (the Merger Proposal)***: To approve the adoption of the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Inspirato, with Inspirato surviving as a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Exclusive Investments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Proposal 2 (the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal)***: To vote on an advisory (non-binding) proposal to approve the compensation that may be paid or become payable to Inspirato's NEOs that is based on or otherwise related to the Merger; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Proposal 3 (the Adjournment Proposal)***: To consider and vote on a proposal to approve any adjournment of the Special Meeting for the purposes of soliciting additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the Special Meeting to approve the Merger Proposal.

Under the DGCL, the Merger may not be completed unless the Merger Proposal is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Inspirato Common Stock entitled to vote thereon. Approval of Inspirato's stockholders of the Merger Proposal is a condition to the closing of the Merger under the Merger Agreement. The approval of the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal is not a condition to the completion of the Merger.

**Risk Factors (Page [12](#i1ba3114197224eedbd5d36ee91b3c747_13))**

You should consider all the information contained in, and incorporated by reference into, this proxy statement in deciding how to vote for the proposals presented in the proxy statement. In particular, you should consider the factors described under "*Risk Factors*" in this proxy statement.

**QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND THE SPECIAL MEETING**

*The information provided in the "question and answer" format below is for your convenience only and is merely a summary of the information contained in this proxy statement. You should read this entire proxy statement carefully.*

**Why am I receiving these materials?**

You are receiving these proxy materials because the Inspirato Board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Special Meeting of Inspirato stockholders and any postponements, adjournments, or continuations thereof. The Special Meeting will be held virtually on [&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;], [&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;], 2026, at 9:00 a.m., Mountain Time. You may attend, submit questions, and vote online at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ISPO2025SM.

These materials were first made available to stockholders on or about [&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;], 2026, to stockholders of record as of the record date.

**What proposals will be voted on at the Special Meeting?**

Stockholders will be asked to vote on:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Proposal 1 (the Merger Proposal)***: To approve the adoption of the Merger Agreement pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Inspirato, with Inspirato surviving as a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Exclusive Investments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Proposal 2 (the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal)***: To vote on an advisory (non-binding) proposal to approve the compensation that may be paid or become payable to Inspirato's NEOs that is based on or otherwise related to the Merger; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Proposal 3 (the Adjournment Proposal)***: To consider and vote on a proposal to approve any adjournment of the Special Meeting for the purposes of soliciting additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the Special Meeting to approve the Merger Proposal.

**How does the Inspirato Board recommend that I vote?**

The Inspirato Board unanimously recommends voting:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "**FOR**" Proposal 1 (the Merger Proposal);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "**FOR**" Proposal 2 (the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **"FOR**" Proposal 3 (the Adjournment Proposal).

**What will happen in the Merger?**

If the Merger is completed, Merger Sub will merge with and into Inspirato, with Inspirato continuing as the surviving corporation (sometimes referred to as the "Surviving Company") and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Exclusive Investments. The Inspirato Common Stock and Public Warrants will no longer be publicly traded.

**What will Inspirato stockholders receive in the Merger?**

At the Effective Time, each share of Inspirato Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger (other than certain excluded shares) will be automatically converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

**What happens to Inspirato warrants and equity awards?**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Warrants*: Outstanding Investment Warrants will be cashed out for the difference between the Merger Consideration and the applicable exercise price. Outstanding Public Warrants will become exercisable for the Merger Consideration. However, all of the Public Warrants have an exercise price that is substantially higher than the Merger Consideration and it is unlikely the Public Warrants will have any continuing value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Equity Awards*: All outstanding Company Options will be cancelled without consideration at the Effective Time. All Company RSUs, whether vested or unvested as of the Effective Time, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time. See "*The Merger Agreement—Treatment of Equity Awards*."

------

**Is stockholder approval required?**

Yes, approval of the Inspirato stockholders is required to consummate the Merger. Under Delaware law, the Merger must be adopted by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Inspirato Common Stock entitled to vote as of the record date.

**What happens if the Merger is not completed?**

If the Merger does not close, Inspirato will continue as a standalone public company. Inspirato may owe a termination fee as detailed in "*The Merger Agreement—Termination*" beginning on page [47](#i1ba3114197224eedbd5d36ee91b3c747_13).

**When do we expect to complete the Merger?**

The Merger is anticipated to close in the first quarter of 2026, subject to obtaining stockholder approval and satisfying other closing conditions. Timing and completion are not guaranteed.

**What are the key conditions to completing the Merger?**

Conditions include stockholder adoption of the Merger and the satisfaction of other customary conditions in the Merger Agreement. See "*The Merger Agreement—Closing of the Merger—Conditions to the Merger*" on page [46](#i1ba3114197224eedbd5d36ee91b3c747_13).

**Who is entitled to vote at the Special Meeting?**

Holders of Inspirato Common Stock at the close of business on the record date of December 15, 2025 may vote. As of the record date, there were approximately 12,568,022 shares of Inspirato Common Stock outstanding, with one vote per share.

**Is there a list of registered stockholders entitled to vote?**

Yes. A stockholder list will be available for review at our principal office (1544 Wazee Street, Denver, Colorado 80202) during normal business hours beginning ten days before the meeting, and online during the Special Meeting at [www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ISPO2026SM].

**What vote is required to approve each proposal?**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Proposal 1 (the Merger Proposal)*:** Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Inspirato Common Stock. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes "**AGAINST**" this proposal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Proposal 2 (the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal)***: Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of Inspirato Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes "**AGAINST**" this proposal and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome. Because the vote on the merger-related compensation proposal is advisory only, it will not be binding on Inspirato. Accordingly, if the Merger Agreement is adopted and the Merger is completed, the merger-related compensation will be payable to Inspirato's NEOs, subject only to the conditions applicable thereto, regardless of the outcome of this non-binding, advisory vote.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Proposal 3 (the Adjournment Proposal)*:** Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of Inspirato Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes "**AGAINST**" this proposal and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome.

**What constitutes a quorum?**

A quorum consists of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Inspirato Common Stock entitled to vote. Abstentions and broker non-votes count towards a quorum.

**How do I vote?**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Stockholders of record*:** Vote via Internet (www.proxyvote.com), telephone ([1-800-690-6903]), by mail (proxy card), or at the meeting online.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***"Street name" holders***: Follow your broker's voting instructions or request a legal proxy to vote online at the meeting.

------

**Can I change or revoke my vote?**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Stockholders of record*:** Yes. Submit new voting instructions online or by mail, deliver a written revocation, or vote during the meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***"Street name" holders*:** Follow your broker's instructions to change your vote.

**Will Inspirato shares trade on Nasdaq post-Merger?**

No. Assuming the Merger closes, the Inspirato Common Stock and Public Warrants will no longer trade on Nasdaq.

**What if I have trouble attending the virtual meeting?**

If you experience issues, call the support number provided on the virtual meeting login page.

**What is the effect of giving a proxy?**

Your proxy authorizes Brent Wadman, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Inspirato, to vote your shares according to your instructions or, absent instructions, per the recommendations of the Inspirato Board.

**CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This proxy statement contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and such statements are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements reflect, among other things, the current expectations of Inspirato regarding future events, including the expected completion and timing of the Merger and related transactions.

All statements contained in this proxy statement other than statements of historical fact should be considered forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements that include the words "may," "might," "will," "should," "could," "expect," "intend," "target," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "project," "potential," "future," "goal," "objective," "continue," or similar words or expressions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees or assurances of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those expressed in such statements.

Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the possibility that Inspirato stockholders may not approve the Merger;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the risk that one or more conditions to closing the Merger may not be satisfied or waived in a timely manner, or at all;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• uncertainties regarding the timing of the Merger, including the risk that it may be delayed or may not occur at all;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the occurrence of events giving rise to the right of one or both parties to terminate the Merger Agreement, including under circumstances that might require payment of a termination fee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the effects of the announcement or pendency of the Merger on Inspirato's business operations, including its relationship with employees, customers, suppliers, and competitors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• possible negative effects of the announcement of the Merger, or developments related thereto, on the market price of Inspirato Common Stock, and on Inspirato's financial performance and ability to maintain business relationships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• potential legal proceedings or regulatory challenges related to the Merger;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the risk of disruption to Inspirato's ongoing operations due to the Merger;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the impact of evolving market dynamics, economic conditions, and industry competition on Inspirato's business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting standards;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• material reductions in corporate liquidity or a limitation on and access to capital markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• potential adverse effects from cybersecurity incidents or other operational disruptions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• uncertainties relating to the economic environment, including interest rates, inflation, and consumer travel behavior; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• other risk factors as detailed from time to time in Inspirato's reports filed with the SEC, such as its Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other documents filed with the SEC, including the risks and uncertainties set forth in or incorporated by reference into this proxy statement in the section entitled "*Risk Factors.*" See "*Where You Can Find More Information*" on page [60](#i1ba3114197224eedbd5d36ee91b3c747_13).

No assurance can be given that the Merger or any other transaction described in this proxy statement will be completed. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this proxy statement or as of the date of the documents incorporated by reference, as applicable.

These forward-looking statements reflect Inspirato's current views with respect to future events and are based on numerous assumptions and assessments made by Inspirato in light of management's experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, business strategies, operating environments, future developments and other factors that management believes to be appropriate. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. The factors described in the context of such forward-looking

------

statements in this proxy statement could cause Inspirato's plans with respect to the Merger, actual results, performance or achievements, industry results and developments to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although it is believed that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct and persons reading this proxy statement are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this proxy statement or, in the case of a document incorporated by reference, as of the date of that document. Except as required by law, Inspirato undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events, new information, or future circumstances.

------

**RISK FACTORS**

**Risks Related to the Merger**

***Inspirato stockholders will not participate in any future growth or upside of the Company following the Merger.***

If the Merger is completed, Inspirato will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Exclusive Investments and the Inspirato Common Stock and Public Warrants will no longer be publicly traded. Inspirato stockholders will receive Merger Consideration and will no longer have any ownership interest in Inspirato or any future right to share in the profits, losses, or growth of the Company. Accordingly, stockholders will not benefit from any potential appreciation in Inspirato's value following the Merger.

***Certain members of the Inspirato Board and management have interests in the Merger that are different from, or in addition to, those of Inspirato stockholders.***

In evaluating the Merger, Inspirato stockholders should be aware that certain directors and executive officers may have financial or other interests that differ from or are in addition to those of other stockholders generally. These interests may include cash payments in connection with the acceleration or settlement of outstanding Company Awards and warrants, and indemnification and insurance arrangements. The Inspirato Board was aware of these interests and considered them, among other things, in evaluating and approving the Merger Agreement and the Merger and in recommending that the Inspirato stockholders approve the Proposals. *See "The Merger—Interests of Inspirato's Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger."*

***The Merger is subject to multiple closing conditions, any of which could delay or prevent its completion.***

The obligations of the parties to consummate the Merger are subject to a number of conditions, including, among others, stockholder approval of the Merger Proposal and the absence of any legal prohibition to the completion of the Merger, which make the completion and timing of the completion of the Merger uncertain. See "*The Merger Agreement—Conditions to the Closing*" for a more detailed discussion regarding conditions to the Merger. Failure to satisfy one or more of these conditions, some of which are beyond the control of the parties, could delay or prevent the Merger from being completed.

If the Merger is not completed, Inspirato's ongoing business, financial condition, operating results and stock price may be materially adversely affected. Without realizing any of the benefits of having completed the Merger, Inspirato will be subject to a number of risks, including but not limited to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the market price of Inspirato Common Stock could decline to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the Merger will be completed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may be required to pay a termination fee to Exclusive Investments under certain circumstances (see "—*The Merger Agreement contains termination rights and may require Inspirato to pay a termination fee*" below);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if the Merger is terminated there is no assurance that Inspirato would be able to secure a comparable or more favorable alternative transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• management time and resources devoted to the Merger, including matters relating to integration planning, may divert attention from other strategic priorities or operational needs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the announcement or failure of the Merger may trigger negative reactions from the financial markets, customers, suppliers or employees, potentially impacting operations or relationships; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Inspirato will be required to pay incurred costs relating to the Merger, such as legal, accounting, financial advisory and printing fees, whether or not the Merger is completed.

In addition, a failure to complete the Merger could result in litigation related to the termination or enforcement of the Merger Agreement, which could be costly and disruptive. The materialization of any of these risks could adversely impact our ongoing business, financial condition, operating results and stock price. Similarly, delays in the completion of the Merger could, among other things, result in additional transaction costs, loss of revenue or other negative effects associated with uncertainty about completion of the Merger.

------

***We will incur significant non-recurring costs related to the Merger.***

We expect to incur significant non-recurring costs in connection with the Merger. Certain non-recurring costs will be incurred regardless of whether the Merger is consummated. These include, but are not limited to, fees paid to legal, financial and accounting advisors, filing fees and printing costs.

***The Merger Agreement contains provisions that limit our ability to pursue alternatives to the Merger and could discourage a potential competing acquiror from making a favorable alternative transaction proposal.***

The Merger Agreement contains certain provisions that restrict our ability to initiate, encourage, seek or solicit, knowingly facilitate or, subject to certain exceptions, engage in discussions or negotiations with respect to, or approve or recommend, an Acquisition Proposal (as defined in "*The Merger Agreement—No Solicitation*").

These provisions could discourage potential third-party acquirers or merger partners from considering or proposing an alternative transaction involving all or a significant portion of Inspirato, even if it was prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share value than the value proposed to be received or realized in the Merger, or might otherwise result in a potential third-party acquirer proposing to pay a lower price to Inspirato stockholders than it might otherwise have proposed to pay because of the added expense of the termination fee that may become payable in certain circumstances.

***The Merger Agreement contains termination rights and may require Inspirato to pay a termination fee.***

The Merger Agreement includes mutual termination rights for both parties. It also provides that Inspirato may be required to pay a $1.0 million termination fee to Exclusive Investments under certain circumstances, including if the Inspirato Board changes its recommendation to stockholders to vote in favor of the Merger or approves a Superior Proposal (as defined in "*The Merger Agreement—No Solicitation*"). The existence of this fee may discourage competing proposals and could result in additional financial obligations for Inspirato if the Merger is not completed. See "*The Merger Agreement—Termination*."

***There is a risk of business disruption and loss of key personnel during the pendency of the Merger.***

The announcement and pendency of the Merger may adversely impact relationships with customers, suppliers, and employees. Inspirato may experience disruption in operations or the departure of key personnel, which could impair performance prior to or after the Merger. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that we will be able to retain key employees to the same extent that we have been able to in the past.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, we are subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of business prior to completing the Merger, which may adversely affect our ability to pursue certain business opportunities that arise prior to the closing of the Merger or to execute certain of our business strategies, including the ability in certain cases to enter into or amend contracts, acquire or dispose of assets, incur indebtedness or incur capital expenditures. Such limitations could adversely affect our businesses and operations prior to the completion of the Merger. See "*The Merger Agreement—Covenants—Conduct of Business*."

***The opinion of our financial advisor will not reflect changes in circumstances between the signing of the Merger Agreement and the completion of the Merger.***

We have received an opinion from our financial advisor, Roth Capital, in connection with the signing of the Merger Agreement. We have not obtained any updated opinion from Roth Capital as of the date of this proxy statement. The opinion was based on information available at the time it was delivered. Changes in the operations or prospects of Inspirato, as well as market or economic conditions, could materially affect the value of Inspirato by the time the Merger is completed. The opinion speaks only as of its date and does not reflect any development after that time, including those that may occur prior to the completion of the Merger. Because we do not currently anticipate asking Roth Capital to update its opinion, the opinion will not address the fairness of the Merger Consideration from a financial point of view at the time the Merger is completed. The Inspirato Board's recommendation that Inspirato stockholders vote "**FOR**" approval of the Merger Proposal, "**FOR**" the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal and "**FOR**" the Adjournment Proposal, however, is made as of the date of this proxy statement.

For a description of the opinion that we received from Roth Capital, see "*The Merger—Opinion of Financial Advisor.*" A copy of the opinion of Roth Capital is attached as <u>Annex B</u> to this proxy statement.

------

***Potential litigation against the parties in relation to the Merger could result in substantial costs, an injunction preventing the completion of the Merger and/or a judgment resulting in the payment of damages.***

Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against public companies that have entered into merger agreements. Even if such a lawsuit is unsuccessful, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs. An adverse judgment could result in monetary damages, which could have a negative impact on our liquidity and financial condition. These lawsuits could prevent or delay the completion of the Merger. We may also incur additional costs, including expenses related to the indemnification of directors and officers. There is no assurance that we will prevail in any such litigation.

***Inspirato stockholders may be entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the Merger.***

Under Section 262 of the DGCL, holders of Inspirato Common Stock who do not vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and who otherwise comply strictly with the procedural requirements of Section 262 may be entitled to seek appraisal of the fair value of their shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery.

To perfect appraisal rights, stockholders must comply with specific legal requirements, including delivering a written demand for appraisal before the vote on the Merger, not voting in favor of the Merger, and continuing to hold their shares through the Effective Time.

If appraisal rights are properly exercised and not withdrawn or otherwise lost, the stockholders exercising those rights will not receive the Merger Consideration, but instead will be entitled to receive whatever value is determined by the court in the appraisal proceeding, which may be more or less than the Merger Consideration. See "*The Merger Agreement—Appraisal Rights*" for additional information.

**THE MERGER**

On December 16, 2025, Inspirato, Exclusive Investments and Merger Sub entered into the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Inspirato, with Inspirato surviving the Merger as a privately held, wholly owned subsidiary of Exclusive Investments. The Merger was approved by the Inspirato Board, as well as by the boards of directors of Exclusive Investments and Merger Sub and by the sole stockholder of Merger Sub.

This transaction is the result of a process initiated by the Inspirato Board to evaluate potential strategic alternatives available to Inspirato. After consideration of a number of possible alternatives and an extensive negotiation process, the Inspirato Board determined that an all-cash acquisition by Exclusive Investments was in the best interests of Inspirato and its stockholders.

**Transaction Structure**

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Inspirato, with Inspirato continuing as the Surviving Company and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Exclusive Investments. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease, and Inspirato will no longer be a publicly traded company.

Following the Merger, Inspirato Common Stock and Public Warrants will be delisted from Nasdaq and deregistered under the Exchange Act.

The closing of the Merger is subject to satisfaction or waiver of customary conditions, including the approval of the Merger Proposal by the Inspirato stockholders and the absence of any material adverse change with respect to Inspirato. The parties currently expect the Merger to close in the first quarter of 2026.

**Merger Consideration**

At the Effective Time of the Merger, each share of Inspirato Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held by Inspirato as treasury stock or owned by Exclusive Investments or Merger Sub, and shares held by Inspirato stockholders who have properly exercised and perfected appraisal rights under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

Public Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be treated in the Merger in accordance with its terms, and will represent, following the Merger, the right to receive upon exercise the Merger Consideration that holders would have received if holders had exercised their Public Warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time. However, all of the Public Warrants have an exercise price that is substantially higher than the Merger Consideration and it is unlikely the Public Warrants will have any continuing value. Outstanding Investment Warrants will be converted into the right to receive the excess of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share for such warrants in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

All outstanding Company Options will be cancelled without consideration at the Effective Time. All Company RSUs will vest at the Effective Time and be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. See "*The Merger Agreement—Treatment of Equity Awards.*"

**Background of the Merger**

The following is a summary of the key meetings, discussions, and events that led to the execution of the Merger Agreement. This summary does not purport to include all conversations among the parties.

In the ordinary course of business, the Inspirato Board and senior management regularly assess strategic alternatives to enhance long-term stockholder value, including the evaluation of potential business combinations and partnerships. In April 2025, Payam Zamani, the Chairperson of the Inspirato Board and the CEO of both Inspirato and One Planet Group, introduced the idea of exploring a potential strategic business combination between Inspirato and Buyerlink, a company wholly owned by Mr. Zamani and his affiliates. Later that day, the Inspirato Board formally established a Special Committee of independent directors (the "Special Committee") and delegated to it the full authority to review, evaluate, negotiate, and recommend whether to proceed with any potential transaction involving Buyerlink. The Special Committee retained independent legal counsel and Roth Capital as its financial advisor to provide a fairness opinion in connection with the proposed transaction. In May and June 2025, Buyerlink and the Special Committee negotiated the terms of a merger agreement pursuant to which Buyerlink would merge with and into a subsidiary of Inspirato (the "Buyerlink Merger"), with One Planet Group and its affiliates receiving newly issued shares of Inspirato common stock (the "Buyerlink Merger

------

Agreement"). Mr. Zamani recused himself from all decisions and actions taken by the Inspirato Board in connection with the Buyerlink Merger.

On June 25, 2025, following the recommendation of the Special Committee and approval by the Inspirato Board, Inspirato and Buyerlink executed the Buyerlink Merger Agreement. The Buyerlink Merger Agreement included a customary "no-shop" provision pursuant to which Inspirato was prohibited from soliciting business combination proposals from third parties, but could, subject to certain requirements, discuss and negotiate a business combination proposal that was made by a third party on an unsolicited basis. The Buyerlink Merger Agreement also contained a customary "fiduciary out" provision pursuant to which Inspirato could terminate the agreement if the Inspirato Board determined that such a business combination was superior, from a financial point of view, to the Buyerlink Merger and Inspirato paid a termination fee to Buyerlink. On June 26, 2025, Inspirato issued a press release announcing its entry into the Buyerlink Merger Agreement and filed a Current Report on Form 8-K, to which the Buyerlink Merger Agreement was attached as an exhibit.

On August 29, 2025, Inspirato filed a definitive proxy statement for a special meeting of stockholders, in which proposals relating to the Buyerlink Merger Agreement were included. The stockholders' meeting was scheduled for September 19, 2025.

On September 2, 2025, Exclusive Investments sent a letter to the Special Committee proposing an alternative transaction pursuant to which Exclusive Investments would acquire all of the outstanding Inspirato common stock for $3.15 per share, which was not subject to any financing contingency. On September 4, 2025, Inspirato issued a press release announcing its receipt of the Exclusive Investments proposal, and filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to which the press release was attached as an exhibit. The Special Committee met, with its legal and financial advisors present, to consider the proposal on September 8, 2025. After consideration, the Special Committee did not determine that the proposal constituted a "Superior Proposal" (as defined in the Buyerlink Merger Agreement), but did determine that it was reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal, and authorized Inspirato, under the Special Committee's direction, to engage in discussions and exchange information with Exclusive Investments in accordance with the Buyerlink Merger Agreement. Inspirato filed definitive additional proxy materials on Schedule 14A announcing the Special Committee's determination and authorization on September 9, 2025. At the Special Committee's direction, Inspirato sent a response to Exclusive Investments on September 8, 2025 expressing concerns about the timing, execution risk and price of the Exclusive Investments offer, and indicating that the Special Committee would only commence negotiations with Exclusive Investments if, among other things, it raised its offer to $3.50 per share and agreed to deliver a non-refundable cash deposit of 10% of the aggregate transaction consideration within 48 hours of Inspirato's response letter. On September 9, 2025, Exclusive Investments responded with a letter indicating that its proposed price remained $3.15 per share due to uncertainty in transaction fees and change in control obligations, but agreeing to provide a structured, refundable deposit, a portion of which would become non-refundable upon postponement of the scheduled stockholder meeting, subject to certain terms and conditions. Following receipt of Exclusive Investments' response, on September 10, 2025, the Special Committee reiterated its position that it would not consider any offer below $3.50 per share. On September 10, 2025, Inspirato and Exclusive Investments entered into a confidentiality agreement. On September 11, 2025, Exclusive Investments sent a letter to the Special Committee raising its offer to $3.50 per share and providing evidence of its ability to fund the proposed purchase price. This letter also indicated that Exclusive Investments would require Mr. Zamani and One Planet Group to either commit to voting their shares in favor of the transaction or to refrain from voting.

On September 12, 2025, the Inspirato Board met to discuss, among other things, the status of discussions with Exclusive Investments, Inspirato's prospects as an independent company and the results of stockholder voting on the Buyerlink Merger, including the likelihood that stockholders would not support the Buyerlink Merger. Mr. Zamani indicated that Buyerlink would be interested in terminating the Buyerlink Merger Agreement. After discussion, the Special Committee agreed that terminating the Buyerlink Merger Agreement would be in the best interests of Inspirato. The parties also agreed that no break-up fee would be payable to Buyerlink as a result of the mutual termination. The full Inspirato Board then dissolved the Special Committee and authorized Mr. Zamani both to further develop Inspirato's strategy as an independent company and also to engage in negotiations with Exclusive Investments in order to ascertain its best and final offer for the consideration of the Inspirato Board.

On September 15, 2025, Mr. Zamani met with James Henderson, CEO of Exclusive Investments, and indicated that he personally, and One Planet Group, as shareholders of Inspirato, would only support the proposal if Exclusive Investments raised its offer to $5.50 per share.

On September 18, 2025, Exclusive Investments sent Inspirato a letter reiterating its proposal to acquire Inspirato for $3.50 per share. This letter indicated that Exclusive Investments expected Mr. Zamani and One Planet Group to enter into voting agreements pursuant to which they would agree to vote in favor of the proposed transaction. Included as recipients of this letter were certain Inspirato shareholders who were not subject to any confidentiality agreement with Exclusive Investments or Inspirato. Also on September 18,

------

2025, Inspirato and Buyerlink executed a Mutual Termination Agreement pursuant to which the Buyerlink Merger Agreement was terminated.

On September 19, 2025, Inspirato filed with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing its receipt of Exclusive Investments' September 18 proposal. This report indicated Inspirato's belief that the proposal was not actionable on the proposed terms, and indicated that the Inspirato Board would continue to consider all available options to advance the best interests of Inspirato and its stockholders. On September 23, 2025, Robin Warne, Exclusive Investments' CFO, sent an email to Mr. Zamani and Michael Arthur, Inspirato's CFO, reiterating its proposed purchase price of $3.50 per share.

On September 23, 2025, Inspirato filed a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing the execution of the Mutual Termination Agreement, to which a copy of the Mutual Termination Agreement was attached as an exhibit.

The Inspirato Board met on September 26, 2025. At this meeting, the Inspirato Board decided to terminate negotiations with Exclusive Investments in light of its unwillingness to raise its offer. Davis Graham & Stubbs, LLP, counsel to Inspirato ("Davis Graham") reported the Inspirato Board's decision to Mr. Warne via email on September 26, 2025.

On September 29, 2025, after consultation with members of the Inspirato Board, Mr. Zamani sent an e-mail to Steve Case, the chairman and majority owner of Exclusive Investments, suggesting a call. The two spoke the next day; they discussed past interactions of the two companies, including with respect to Inspirato's 2024 strategic alternatives process discussed below, and agreed to meet in person.

On October 4, 2025, Mr. Zamani and Mr. Arthur met with Messrs. Henderson and Case. At this meeting, Messrs. Henderson and Case indicated that Exclusive Investments remained interested in a potential transaction with Inspirato. On October 8, 2025, Mr. Henderson and Mr. Zamani had a follow-up call. On this call, Mr. Zamani reiterated his view that a purchase price of $5.50 per share would be appropriate. While Mr. Henderson did not provide an updated offer, he indicated that Exclusive Investments would be providing one in the near future and that the proposed purchase price could be modestly greater than $3.50. After the call, Mr. Henderson sent Mr. Zamani an email indicating that Exclusive Investments would be willing to increase its offer to $4.00 per share.

The Inspirato Board met on October 9, 2025. At the meeting, management presented an update regarding Inspirato's financial performance, including expected earnings before tax, interest, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and cash flow position and its continued efforts to streamline Inspirato's operations. The Inspirato Board also discussed the status of negotiations with Exclusive Investments. After deliberation, the Inspirato Board directed Mr. Zamani to continue discussions with Exclusive Investments with the assistance of Inspirato director Jordan Spiegel.

Messrs. Zamani and Spiegel had a follow-up call with Mr. Henderson on October 11, 2025. Mr. Zamani indicated that Inspirato was still willing to negotiate but that the purchase price had to be increased.

On October 17, 2025, Roth Capital met with Inspirato management to discuss valuation considerations and negotiation strategies in light of recent communications with Exclusive Investments.

On October 23, 2025, Messrs. Zamani and Arthur met with Messrs. Henderson, Warne and Case. Exclusive Investments indicated its continued desire to acquire Inspirato, and the parties discussed possible ways of addressing their disagreement regarding valuation.

On October 27, 2025, Mr. Henderson delivered a letter to Inspirato in which he provided an updated offer to acquire Inspirato for $4.35 per share. The letter indicated that the offered price was predicated on, among other things, a cap of $3.0 million on the expenses that Inspirato could incur in connection with the transaction and the absence of any Inspirato equity grants after August 29, 2025. The letter also indicated that Exclusive Investments would expect key shareholders, including Mr. Zamani, One Planet Group and their respective controlled affiliates, to enter into customary voting and support agreements. The Inspirato Board met later that day to review the offer. At that meeting, the Inspirato Board agreed that Mr. Zamani should request a modest increase in the purchase price.

Mr. Zamani called Mr. Henderson and made a counter proposal of $4.50 per share on October 28, 2025. On October 30, 2025, Mr. Henderson sent an email to Mr. Zamani rejecting the counter proposal and indicating that $4.35 was Exclusive Investments' best and final offer. The Inspirato Board met later that day. After discussion, it decided to accept the $4.35 purchase price; it did so, however, without accepting Exclusive Investments' assumptions and conditions set forth in its October 27, 2025 offer, including those regarding transaction expenses and post-August 29, 2025 equity grants. The Inspirato Board also considered whether alternative offers should be solicited from other parties; after discussion, the Inspirato Board concluded that in light of the nature of Inspirato's business and the fact that no other bidder had emerged from the Buyerlink Merger process or a strategic alternatives process conducted in 2024, it was

------

unlikely that any party would be willing to offer more for Inspirato than Exclusive Investments. During that process, Inspirato's then-financial advisor contacted seven potential strategic acquirors, none of whom expressed interest in acquiring the Company outside of a bankruptcy process. Three of the contacted parties, including Exclusive Resorts, an affiliate of Exclusive Investments, provided an indication of interest with a term sheet for a debtor-in-possession financing agreement. The process ended in August 2024 when One Planet Group agreed to provide additional equity financing to the Company and Mr. Zamani became its CEO.

Mr. Zamani notified Mr. Henderson of the Inspirato Board's agreement to the $4.35 per share purchase price on October 31, 2025, indicating that Inspirato expected its transaction costs to be between $3.0 million and $4.0 million. The parties entered into a new confidentiality agreement on November 3, 2025 and Exclusive Investments' due diligence process commenced the next day.

On November 6, 2025, Inspirato management met with Roth Capital, which provided feedback on the proposed transaction structure, negotiation strategy and valuation.

On November 7, 2025, Exclusive Investments' counsel, Latham & Watkins LLP ("Latham"), sent to Inspirato and Davis Graham an initial draft of the Merger Agreement. This draft contemplated, among other things, that Inspirato would not have a "fiduciary out" similar to the one included in the Buyerlink Merger Agreement and that Exclusive Investments' obligation to close would be subject to Inspirato having at closing an unspecified minimum amount of cash and net working capital, and an acquisition by Exclusive Investments of the Capital One Note from Oakstone Ventures in exchange for equity of Exclusive Investments issuable to Oakstone Ventures on terms acceptable to Exclusive Investments. This draft also provided that Inspirato's transaction costs could not exceed $3.0 million. During the period in which the Merger Agreement was being negotiated, the parties continued to discuss the expected transaction costs, both in terms of the types of costs that would be included in that capped category and the total amount of such costs. Inspirato viewed some employee- and director-related costs as being (i) payable in respect of services provided in 2025 and otherwise necessary to continue to operate its business (costs the parties typically referred to generically as "stay bonuses") or (ii) already provided for in existing agreements (such as Mr. Zamani's $1.1 million in severance) regardless of whether they were reflected in the assumptions underlying Exclusive Investments' $4.35 per share offer. Exclusive Investments maintained that any costs in excess of those it had assumed, which included all of the stay bonuses, would result in a reduction in the per share offer price. There was also discussion regarding whether the cost of the directors' and officers' "tail" policy to be obtained pursuant to the Merger Agreement would be considered a transaction cost and, if so, which party should bear that cost.

On November 11, 2025, Davis Graham sent to Latham a revised draft of the Merger Agreement. This draft inserted a "fiduciary out" provision and a provision allowing the Inspirato Board to change its recommendation that stockholders vote to approve the transaction if an "Intervening Event" (as defined in the revised Merger Agreement) occurred. This draft also deleted the closing conditions relating to minimum cash, minimum net working capital and the Capital One Note, and included provisions pursuant to which (i) Exclusive Investments would agree that it had not relied on representations made by Inspirato or its representatives not set forth in the agreement and (ii) Inspirato's transaction fees could not exceed $4.0 million. On the same day, the compensation consultant engaged by the Compensation Committee of the Inspirato Board provided the Compensation Committee and Inspirato management with information regarding appropriate compensation relating to the Merger.

The internal working groups of Inspirato and Exclusive Investments met on November 12, 2025 to discuss the proposed transaction timeline and the status of due diligence.

On November 13, 2025, Latham provided to Inspirato and Davis Graham a draft of a Voting and Support Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, Mr. Zamani, One Planet Group and their respective affiliated entities would agree to vote in favor of the merger with Exclusive Investments and would agree to other customary limitations and obligations during the pendency of the transaction. This draft included a "standstill" provision pursuant to which, if the Merger Agreement were terminated, Mr. Zamani, One Planet Group and their respective affiliated entities would agree not to acquire any securities of Inspirato or engage in, or propose, certain business combination transactions with Inspirato for a period of 12 months.

On November 13, 2025, Inspirato discussed with Capital One the potential transaction with Exclusive Investments, its impact on the Capital One Note and the related commercial agreements. In connection with the Buyerlink Merger Agreement, Capital One and Inspirato had agreed to terminate the Capital One Note in exchange for a cash payment from Inspirato. Capital One expressed willingness to consider a similar transaction in the context of a transaction between Inspirato and Exclusive Investments so long as the commercial agreements were terminated immediately upon the execution of a definitive merger agreement.

On November 15, 2025, Latham provided a revised draft of the Merger Agreement to Davis Graham. This draft rejected the fiduciary out, intervening event and extra-contractual reliance concepts proposed in the November 11, 2025 Davis Graham draft and reinserted

------

the net working capital, minimum cash and Capital One Note closing conditions as well as the $3.0 million transaction fee cap from Latham's November 7, 2025 draft.

On November 14, 17 and 18, 2025, the parties' internal working groups met again to discuss the proposed transaction timeline and the status of due diligence. Also on November 18, 2025, Inspirato provided Exclusive Investments a list of the proposed recipients of stay bonuses for employees that Inspirato believed would be needed to operate the Company either through the closing of the Merger or, if the Merger did not occur, following the termination of negotiations. Mr. Arthur discussed this list, and other estimated transaction costs, with representatives of Exclusive Investments, later that day.

On November 20, 2025, the Inspirato Board met to receive an update on the proposed transaction discussions. Management and Davis Graham discussed the key open points on the Merger Agreement, including the proposed net working capital and minimum cash closing conditions, and Davis Graham advised that both of the proposed provisions would be unusual in a merger agreement with a public company target. Both the Inspirato Board and management expressed concern with the slow tempo of discussions with Exclusive Investments. Following this discussion, the Inspirato Board met in executive session to discuss the transaction further.

On November 21, 2025, Inspirato met with Roth Capital for an update on transaction dynamics and, separately, Inspirato's internal legal team and Davis Graham met with Latham to discuss open items in the Merger Agreement. Also on November 21, 2025, Latham circulated to Davis Graham, Inspirato and counsel to Capital One a draft of the Capital One Termination Agreement acknowledging Capital One's and Exclusive Investments' intent for Exclusive Investments to acquire the Capital One Note at the closing of the Merger in exchange for Exclusive Investments equity, and agreeing to the termination of the related commercial agreements between Inspirato and Capital One effective simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement. Counsel to Capital One and Davis Graham provided minor comments to this draft on November 24, 2025.

On November 24 and 25, 2025, Inspirato and Roth Capital met with Exclusive Investments and provided a review of Inspirato's monthly cash forecast, including key drivers of receipts and disbursements and its deferred revenue. Also on November 25, 2025, Latham and Davis Graham had an additional discussion regarding the key open points in the Merger Agreement.

On November 26, 2025, Inspirato, Davis Graham, Exclusive Investments and Latham met to further discuss the open items in the Merger Agreement, including the transaction cost cap. On this call, Exclusive Investments expressed a willingness to eliminate the minimum cash and net working capital closing conditions in exchange for covenants that would strictly limit Inspirato's operations during the period between the signing of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the Merger.

On November 28, 2025, Roth Capital sent an email to Mr. Warne indicating that Inspirato would halt further sharing of due diligence materials pending an agreement in principle between the parties with respect to the net working capital closing condition, transaction fee cap and other key terms impacting certainty of closing.

On November 29, 2025, Latham provided a revised draft of the Merger Agreement to Davis Graham. This draft deleted Inspirato's proposed language regarding reliance on extra-contractual representations and included a net working capital closing condition, but it included fiduciary out and intervening event provisions and did not include a minimum cash closing condition. The draft also indicated that Exclusive Investments would consider removing the closing condition relating to the Capital One Note subject to its reaching an acceptable agreement regarding the Capital One Note with Capital One. This draft also noted that the issue of the Inspirato transaction fee cap remained open.

On November 30, 2025, Inspirato and Roth Capital met to review additional diligence matters and the transaction cost issue, which Roth Capital then discussed with Exclusive Investments. The parties also continued to discuss the terms and amounts of the bonuses that Inspirato believed were necessary to retain key employees and/or to provide appropriate compensation for 2025 services rendered.

On December 1, 2025, Inspirato and Roth Capital met to further discuss transaction dynamics and valuation. Also on that day, Exclusive Investments indicated to Roth Capital that it would agree to remove the net working capital closing condition in the Merger Agreement and that it proposed to split the burden of the transaction costs that exceeded its initial assumptions, including the stay bonuses and the directors' and officers' tail policy, such that the transaction fee cap would be $3.5 million and the per share purchase price payable in the Merger would be $4.27 per share. Following Exclusive Investments' agreement to eliminate the net working capital closing condition and agreement to terms regarding transaction fees, on December 2, 2025, Inspirato recommenced sharing additional due diligence materials.

On December 2, 2025, Davis Graham circulated to Latham a revised draft of the Voting and Support Agreement. This draft reflected comments of One Planet Group's internal counsel and deleted the standstill provision included in Latham's November 13, 2025 draft.

------

On December 3, 2025, the Inspirato Board met to discuss progress on the transaction and receive updates from the Inspirato management team, Davis Graham and Roth Capital. Discussions between Inspirato and One Planet Group were also held on December 3, 2025 regarding the Voting and Support Agreement.

On December 4, 2025, Davis Graham provided to Latham a revised draft of the Merger Agreement that, among other things, re-inserted Inspirato's proposed language regarding Exclusive Investments' reliance on extra-contractual representations and deleted the net working capital and Capital One Note closing conditions.

On December 10, 2025, Latham provided a revised draft of the Merger Agreement that accepted the deletion of the net working capital and Capital One Note closing conditions. However, this draft rejected Inspirato's proposed extra-contractual reliance language and added new closing conditions pursuant to which Exclusive Investments would not be required to close the Merger unless Mr. Zamani had entered into an agreement with Inspirato to terminate his employment and all agreements between Mr. Zamani's affiliates and Inspirato (the "Related Party Agreements") were terminated, in each case as of the Closing. Inspirato, Davis Graham, Exclusive Investments and Latham discussed this draft shortly afterwards. Later that day, Inspirato and Davis Graham met with One Planet Group's internal legal counsel to discuss the amounts owed by Inspirato pursuant to the Related Party Agreements. Also on that day, Mr. Arthur and Roth Capital met with Mr. Warne and other representatives of Exclusive Investments to discuss Inspirato's accounts payable and cash management. That evening, the Inspirato Board met and received updates from management and Davis Graham on the progress of negotiations. The Inspirato Board expressed concern about whether the parties would be able to reach agreement on the open points in a timely manner given the need for the Company and its management to focus on other operational needs. In light of this concern, the Inspirato Board instructed Davis Graham to (i) provide a draft of the Merger Agreement to Latham and Exclusive Investments that would represent Inspirato's best and final offer on the legal terms of the Merger and (ii) inform Latham and Exclusive Investments that the Inspirato Board expected all material terms to be resolved by the following Monday or it would terminate negotiations regarding the Merger.

On December 12, 2025, Davis Graham circulated a draft Merger Agreement that, among other things, reflected Inspirato's position on the extra-contractual reliance issue and contemplated that, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, Mr. Zamani would enter into the CEO Employment Agreement Amendment with Inspirato to terminate his employment with Inspirato, and One Planet Group and Buyerlink would enter into the Affiliate Termination Agreement to terminate each of the Related Party Agreements, in each case at the closing of the Merger. Per the instruction of the Inspirato Board, Davis Graham informed Latham of the negotiation deadline and that Inspirato viewed this draft as effectively reflecting its best and final offer on legal terms. Later that day, Latham informed Davis Graham that Exclusive Investments was willing to proceed on the basis of the Davis Graham draft, subject to, among other things, agreement on the terms of the CEO Employment Agreement Amendment and the Affiliate Termination Agreement.

On December 13, 2025, One Planet Group's internal legal counsel met with Inspirato and Davis Graham to discuss the CEO Employment Agreement Amendment and the Affiliate Termination Agreement. Later that day, Davis Graham circulated to Latham a draft of the Affiliate Termination Agreement pursuant to which the Related Party Agreements would be terminated simultaneously with the closing of the Merger. Later that day, Latham provided to Davis Graham and One Planet Group a revised draft of the Voting and Support Agreement that accepted the deletion of the standstill provision.

On December 14, 2025, Davis Graham provided to Latham a draft of the CEO Employment Agreement Amendment pursuant to which Mr. Zamani's employment with Inspirato would be terminated at the closing of the Merger, Mr. Zamani would receive a severance payment of $1.1 million (an amount unchanged from that provided for in his existing employment agreement), and certain travel benefits provided for in Mr. Zamani's existing employment agreement would be cancelled or paid for by Mr. Zamani at his sole expense. Later that day, Latham provided Davis Graham and One Planet Group a revised draft of the Affiliate Termination Agreement, which provided that Inspirato would incur no new obligations under the Related Party Agreements after the signing of the Merger Agreement. The parties then discussed, and agreed in principle to, a resolution of the Related Party Agreement issue pursuant to which those agreements would be terminated at December 31, 2025 and Inspirato would make the final payments due under those agreements shortly afterwards. This resolution was reflected in a revised draft of the Affiliate Termination Agreement provided by Davis Graham to Latham on December 15, 2025. With respect to the specific amounts due to Mr. Zamani's affiliates under the Related Party Agreements, Inspirato and One Planet Group provided additional information to Exclusive Investments that day and the parties reached an agreement as to those amounts. The amounts reflected Inspirato's estimate of the unpaid amounts that would otherwise have become payable as of December 31, 2025 under the terms of the Related Party Agreements as previously approved by the Audit Committee of the Inspirato Board.

On December 15, 2025, Latham provided to Davis Graham and One Planet Group a revised draft of the CEO Employment Agreement Amendment with only minor changes to the Davis Graham draft of the previous day. The parties also resolved substantially all of the

------

remaining open points on the Merger Agreement. Later that day, the Inspirato Board met, with management, Davis Graham and Roth Capital present, to review and consider a substantially final draft of the Merger Agreement and each of the CEO Employment Agreement Amendment, the Affiliate Termination Agreement and the Capital One Termination Agreement (collectively, the "Ancillary Agreements"). Messrs. Wadman and Arthur made a presentation on the material terms of the Merger Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and Davis Graham provided an overview of the directors' fiduciary duties in relation to the transaction. The Inspirato Board discussed the terms of the Merger Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the impact of the Merger on Inspirato's stockholders. The Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee of the Inspirato Board met separately during the meeting and approved and, as applicable, recommended that the full Inspirato Board approve, the Affiliate Termination Agreement and the CEO Employment Agreement Amendment, respectively. Representatives of Roth Capital then presented its financial analysis regarding the fairness of the Merger, from a financial perspective, to the Inspirato stockholders. Following discussion, Roth Capital rendered its oral opinion to the Inspirato Board, which was subsequently confirmed by delivery of a written opinion, dated December 15, 2025, to the effect that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the factors, assumptions, qualifications and any limitations set forth in its written opinion, the Merger Consideration to be paid to the holders of the Inspirato Common Stock in the Merger is fair, from a financial point of view, to those holders. Following various questions regarding Roth Capital's analysis, and after considering the proposed terms of the Merger, and taking into consideration the matters discussed during that meeting and prior meetings of the Inspirato Board, the Inspirato Board unanimously (i) determined that the Merger Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Merger), are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders, (ii) approved, adopted and declared advisable the Merger Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Merger), (iii) approved the execution, delivery and performance of the Merger Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, (iv) resolved to recommend approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of the Inspirato Common Stock and (v) directed that the Merger Agreement be submitted to the holders of the Inspirato Common Stock for approval and adoption.

On December 16, 2025, Inspirato, Exclusive Investments and Merger Sub executed and delivered the definitive Merger Agreement and each relevant party executed and delivered the Ancillary Agreements.

**Recommendation of the Board of Directors and Its Reasons for Its Determination**

On December 15, 2025, the Inspirato Board unanimously:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• determined that the Merger Agreement is advisable, fair to and in the best interests of Inspirato and its stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• resolved to recommend, and does recommend, that Inspirato stockholders vote "**FOR**" each of the proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting.

In reaching its determination, the Inspirato Board considered a number of factors, including the principal strategic factors set forth below (not necessarily presented in order of relative importance):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the all-cash nature of the transaction, which provides immediate liquidity and certainty of value to Inspirato stockholders at a premium to recent trading prices of Inspirato Common Stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Inspirato Board's process and review of strategic alternatives, including its conclusion, after evaluating other potential options, that the Merger is the most favorable alternative reasonably available for maximizing stockholder value;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fairness opinion rendered by Roth Capital, the Company's financial advisor, that, as of the date of such opinion, the Merger Consideration to be received by Inspirato stockholders was fair from a financial point of view to such holders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the absence of a financing condition in the Merger Agreement and the commitment of Exclusive Investments to fund the Merger Consideration in full in cash at closing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the anticipated timeline to closing, with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, expected to be completed promptly following receipt of Inspirato stockholder approval and satisfaction of customary closing conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the limited closing conditions and the reasonable likelihood of the Merger being consummated, including the absence of any material regulatory barriers or antitrust risks;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability of the Inspirato Board to respond to a Superior Proposal, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement and, potentially, the payment of a termination fee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the terms of the Merger Agreement, including customary representations, warranties, covenants, closing conditions, and termination rights, which the Inspirato Board, in consultation with its legal and financial advisors, deemed to be reasonable and consistent with market practice;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• its opinion that the Merger would be in the best interests of the stockholders, considering the Company's current financial condition, liquidity profile, and near-term growth prospects as a standalone public company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the risk of continued challenges facing Inspirato as a standalone company, including its constrained liquidity.

Potential risks and countervailing factors considered by the Inspirato Board include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the possibility that the Merger might not be completed on the anticipated timeline or at all, and the potential consequences of such a delay or termination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the absence of any post-signing price adjustments to the Merger Consideration, which could result in Inspirato stockholders receiving less value than they might have received in a different transaction or market environment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the loss of potential upside for Inspirato stockholders, who may prefer to remain invested in a public company rather than receive a fixed cash payment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that Inspirato will no longer be a public company following the Merger, and its stockholders will not participate in any future growth or appreciation of Inspirato as a private company under new ownership;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the restrictions imposed by the Merger Agreement on Inspirato's ability to solicit or pursue alternative transactions, including limitations on the Inspirato Board's ability to change its recommendation, and its obligation to pay a $1.0 million termination fee under certain circumstances;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the potential for litigation challenging the Merger, including claims related to alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by directors, which could delay or prevent closing or result in additional costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the risk that the announcement and pendency of the Merger could disrupt Inspirato's business operations, including employee retention, customer relationships, and strategic initiatives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Merger-related costs, including legal, financial advisory, accounting, and other fees and expenses, whether or not the Merger is completed; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the reliance on the successful satisfaction of closing conditions, including Inspirato stockholder approval, which introduces risk to the certainty of closing.

After considering the foregoing factors and risks, among others, the Inspirato Board concluded that the potential benefits of the Merger outweighed the risks and uncertainties and determined that the Merger was in the best interests of Inspirato and its stockholders.

The foregoing discussion is intended to summarize, but not exhaustively detail, the material factors considered by the Inspirato Board. The Inspirato Board did not quantify or assign relative weights to the factors listed above and considered the transaction as a whole in light of all the information presented.

**Opinion of Financial Advisor**

On December 15, 2025, Roth Capital rendered its oral opinion to the Board (which was subsequently confirmed in writing) to the effect that, as of such date and subject to and based on the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications, conditions and limitations on the review undertaken and other matters considered by Roth Capital as set forth in its written opinion, the merger consideration to be received by the holders (the "Stockholders") of Inspirato Common Stock (other than shares held by Inspirato as treasury stock or owned by Exclusive Investments or Merger Sub, and shares held by Inspirato stockholders who have properly exercised and perfected appraisal rights) (the "Shares") in the Merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to the Stockholders.

Inspirato has retained Roth Capital to act as Inspirato's financial advisor in connection with the Merger. Roth Capital is a nationally recognized investment banking firm that provides financial advisory services and is continually engaged in the valuation of businesses

------

and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, private placements, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, and valuations for corporate, estate and other purposes. Roth Capital was selected by Inspirato based on Roth Capital's experience, expertise, reputation and familiarity with Inspirato.

**Roth Capital's opinion was directed to the Inspirato Board (in its capacity as such) and only addressed the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to be received by the Stockholders in the Merger, and did not address any other terms, aspects or implications of the Merger, or any agreements, arrangements or understandings entered into in connection with the Merger. The summary of Roth Capital's opinion in this proxy statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of its written opinion, which is attached as <u>Annex B</u> to this proxy statement and which sets forth the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered, exceptions to the opinion and limitations on the scope of the review undertaken in connection with the preparation of the opinion. The analysis performed by Roth Capital should be viewed in its entirety; none of the methods of analysis should be viewed in isolation. Roth Capital's opinion was directed to the Inspirato Board for its use and benefit in evaluating the fairness of the Merger Consideration to be received by the Stockholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement and relates only to the fairness as of the date of such opinion. The opinion does not address the relative merits of the Merger (or any part thereof) as compared to any alternative business strategies or transactions that might exist for Inspirato, the underlying business decision of Inspirato to proceed with the Merger (or any part thereof), or the effects of any other transaction in which Inspirato might engage. The opinion should not be construed as creating any fiduciary duty on Roth Capital's part to any party. The opinion is not intended to be, and does not constitute, a recommendation as to how to act or vote with respect to any matter relating to the Merger (or any part thereof).** 

**The Stockholders are urged to read the entire opinion carefully in connection with their consideration of the Merger.**

In connection with rendering its opinion, Roth Capital, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewed and analyzed certain information, including historic financial results and forecasts, relating to the business, earnings, cash flow, assets, liabilities and prospects of Inspirato that were furnished to Roth Capital by or through the management team of Inspirato and conducted discussions with members of the senior management of Inspirato concerning such information;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewed and analyzed certain publicly available information relating to Inspirato, including reported prices and trading activity for the Shares, Inspirato's most recent annual report to stockholders, its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewed and analyzed Inspirato's financial outlook for 2025-2028 as provided by the management of Inspirato (the "Management Projections");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewed and analyzed the financial information and data, to the extent publicly available, of certain acquisitions that Roth Capital deemed relevant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• compared certain publicly available financial and other information for certain public companies that Roth Capital deemed relevant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• participated in certain discussions with management of Inspirato and its legal advisors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewed a draft of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 13, 2025; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• performed such other analyses and considered such other factors as Roth Capital deemed appropriate for the purpose of reviewing the proposed transaction and arriving at Roth Capital's opinion.

In rendering its opinion, Roth Capital assumed and relied upon, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of all information that was publicly available or was supplied or otherwise made available to Roth Capital by or through the management of Inspirato. With respect to information provided to or reviewed by it, Roth Capital was advised by the management of Inspirato that such information does not contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading in any material respect. With respect to the financial projections of Inspirato, Roth Capital was advised by the management of Inspirato that such projections were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Inspirato of the future financial performance of Inspirato. Roth Capital did not express any opinion as to any such financial forecasts, estimates or forward-looking information, the assumptions on which they were based, or on the assumed probabilities associated with future events contemplated thereby.

------

Roth Capital assumed that the final terms of the Merger would not vary materially from those set forth in the copies or drafts of the Merger Agreement, as applicable, reviewed by Roth Capital and that the Merger and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement would be consummated in accordance with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement without any waiver, amendment or delay of any terms or conditions. Roth Capital also assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other approvals and consents required for the consummation of the Merger would be obtained without imposition of any delays, limitations, conditions or restrictions that would have an adverse effect on Inspirato or on the contemplated benefits expected to be derived in the proposed Merger. Roth Capital is not a legal, tax, accounting or regulatory advisor, and expressed no opinion as to legal, tax, accounting or regulatory matters. Roth Capital relied upon, without independent verification, the assessment of Inspirato and its legal, tax, accounting and regulatory advisors with respect to legal, tax, accounting and regulatory matters.

Roth Capital did not perform any valuations or appraisals of any specific assets or liabilities (fixed, contingent or other) of Inspirato. Roth Capital had not been furnished or provided with any such appraisals or valuations. Roth Capital did not undertake any independent analysis of any pending or threatened litigation, to which Inspirato, Exclusive Investments or any of their respective affiliates is a party or may be subject, and Roth Capital did not make any assumptions concerning the possible assertion of claims, outcomes or damages arising out of any such matters. Roth Capital's opinion was based on the economic, monetary, financial and other conditions as they existed and could have been evaluated as of the date of the opinion. Events occurring after the date of the opinion could materially affect the assumptions used in preparing the opinion. Roth Capital does not have any obligation or responsibility to update, reaffirm or revise the opinion or otherwise comment upon any circumstances, developments or events occurring after the date of the opinion.

The opinion of Roth Capital was limited to and addressed only the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to be received by the Stockholders to the extent expressly set forth in the opinion. Roth Capital's opinion did not address, and was not requested to address, any other aspect or implication of the Merger Agreement or any other agreements, arrangements or understandings entered into in connection with the Merger Agreement or otherwise, including, without limitation, the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to any officers, directors or employees of any party to the Merger Agreement, or any class of such persons, relative to the Merger Consideration, or the fairness of the Merger to the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of Inspirato. Further, Roth Capital expressed no opinion as to the actual value of the Inspirato Common Stock.

Roth Capital's opinion did not indicate that the Merger Consideration to be received by the Stockholders was the best possibly attainable under any circumstances; instead, it merely stated whether the Merger Consideration to be received by the Stockholders in the Merger was within or above a range suggested by certain financial analyses. The decision as to whether to proceed with the Merger or any related transaction depends on an assessment of various factors, many of which are unrelated to the financial analyses on which Roth Capital's opinion was based.

It is understood that Roth Capital's opinion was prepared solely for the use and benefit of the Inspirato Board in connection with the Inspirato Board's consideration of the Merger, and is not intended to be and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder of Inspirato as to how such stockholder should vote on any matter relating to the Merger or any other matter. Roth Capital has consented to the inclusion of its opinion in its entirety and the description thereof in this proxy statement.

Set forth below is a summary of the material financial analyses reviewed by Roth Capital with the Inspirato Board on December 15, 2025 in connection with rendering Roth Capital's opinion. The following summary, however, does not purport to be a complete description of the financial analyses performed by Roth Capital. The order of the financial analyses described, and the results of these analyses, do not represent relative importance or weight given to these analyses by Roth Capital. Except as otherwise noted, the following quantitative information, to the extent that it is based on market data, is based on market data that existed on or before December 12, 2025 and is not necessarily indicative of then-current market conditions.

The following summary of Roth Capital's financial analyses includes information presented in tabular format. Several financial analyses were employed and no one method of analysis should be regarded as critical to the overall conclusion reached. Each analytical technique has inherent strengths and weaknesses, and the nature of the available information may further affect the value of particular techniques. Each of the analyses conducted was carried out to provide a particular perspective of the Merger Consideration. In order to fully understand the analyses, the tables must be read together with the full text of each summary. The tables are not intended to stand alone and alone do not constitute complete analyses. Considering the tables below without considering the full narrative description of Roth Capital's financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying such analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of such analyses.

------

While this summary describes certain of the analyses and factors that Roth Capital deemed material in its presentation to the Inspirato Board, it is not a comprehensive description of all analyses and factors considered by Roth Capital. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process that involves various determinations as to appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of these methods to the particular circumstances. Therefore, a fairness opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description.

Roth Capital did not form a conclusion as to whether any individual analysis, when considered in isolation, supported or failed to support its opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to be received by the Stockholders in the Merger. Accordingly, Roth Capital believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and of the factors considered by it in rendering its opinion without considering all analyses and factors could create a misleading or incomplete view of the evaluation process underlying the opinion. Roth Capital did not place any specific reliance on any individual analysis, but instead concluded that its analyses, taken as a whole, supported its opinion.

***Summary of Roth Capital's Financial Analysis***

*Discounted Cash Flow Analysis*

Roth Capital performed a discounted cash flow analysis of Inspirato. A discounted cash flow analysis is a valuation methodology used to derive an intrinsic valuation of a company by calculating the present value of its estimated future cash flows. Roth Capital performed a discounted cash flow analysis of the projected unlevered free cash flows of Inspirato for the calendar years ending December 31, 2026 through December 31, 2028. Free cash flow was based on the forecasted unlevered after-tax net operating profits adjusted for depreciation and amortization, working capital, and capital expenditures as provided for in the Management Projections (as defined below). Roth Capital calculated the net present value of the projected unlevered free cash flows utilizing an estimate of Inspirato's weighted average cost of capital for the discount rate. For purposes of its discounted cash flow analysis, Roth Capital utilized and relied upon the Management Projections, which provided a financial forecast for the calendar years 2026 through 2028, and other financial information provided by Inspirato management.

In calculating the net present value of the unlevered free cash flows in the discounted cash flow analysis, Roth Capital utilized a weighted average cost of capital range of 14.2% to 16.2%. The discount rate range was derived utilizing the Capital Asset Pricing Model, incorporating adjustments for market-based and Inspirato-specific risks and was based on Roth Capital's professional judgment and experience. As part of the discounted cash flow analysis, Roth Capital performed a sensitivity analysis on Inspirato's projected estimated adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA") margin upon exit at the end of the calendar year of 2028 to quantify the impact of management's assumed adjusted EBITDA margin on the Company's terminal value. Roth Capital calculated the terminal values of cash flows for Inspirato by applying a selected range of terminal value adjusted EBITDA multiples of 8x to 10x applied to Inspirato's calendar year 2028 estimated adjusted EBITDA. Roth Capital discounted the indicated terminal values to present value using the selected range of discount rates, and added the present value of the projected unlevered free cash flows. Based on these assumptions, Roth Capital's discounted cash flow analysis generated an indicative range of enterprise values. Roth Capital then calculated an estimated equity value range for Inspirato by adding the amount of the Inspirato's cash and cash equivalents and subtracting the amount of Inspirato's debt and debt like items as provided by Inspirato management. The resulting estimated equity value range was then divided by the number of shares of Inspirato Common Stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis (including "in the money" warrants and RSUs based on the treasury method), as provided by Inspirato management, and an EBITDA margin sensitivity range of 10.7% to 12.7% was applied, to derive a range of equity values per share of $3.85 to $6.08, as compared to the equity value per share of $4.27 in the Merger.

*Selected Public Companies Analysis*

Roth Capital performed a selected public companies analysis of Inspirato. Although none of the selected public companies is directly comparable to Inspirato, Roth Capital selected the public companies for its analysis based on their degree of similarity to Inspirato, primarily in terms of operations, geographic footprint, business models, and historical and projected financial performance to those of Inspirato's, with a focus on luxury hospitality platforms. Roth Capital analyzed the selected public companies listed below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Hilton Grand Vacations Inc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Travel + Leisure Co.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Vail Resorts, Inc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Marriott Vacations Worldwide

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Meliá Hotels International, S.A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Lindblad Expeditions Holdings

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Pursuit Attractions & Hospitality

Roth Capital reviewed, among other things, the enterprise value as a multiple of adjusted EBITDA for calendar year 2025, the next 12 months ("NTM") ended September 30, 2026, calendar year 2026 and calendar year 2027, for each of the selected companies.

Financial data of the selected companies were based on publicly available research analysts' estimates, public filings and other publicly available information.

Roth Capital applied the following 25th and 75th percentiles of the multiples for the selected public companies to the corresponding financial data for Inspirato provided by the management of Inspirato:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Implied Multiples for Selected Public Companies** | **Implied Multiples for Selected Public Companies** | **Implied Multiples for Selected Public Companies** |
| **Enterprise Value as Multiple of Adjusted EBITDA:** | **25**<sup>th</sup> **Percentile** | **75**<sup>th</sup> **Percentile** |
| CY2025 | 10.0x | 10.5x |
| NTM | 9.4x | 10.0x |
| CY 2026 | 9.3x | 9.8x |
| CY 2027 | 8.6x | 9.2x |

---

To estimate a range of enterprise values for Inspirato, Roth Capital applied valuation multiples of 8.6x to 9.2x to Inspirato's estimated 2027 adjusted EBITDA, based on the Management Projections. Roth Capital then calculated an estimated equity value range for Inspirato by adding the amount of Inspirato's cash and cash equivalents and subtracting the amount of Inspirato's debt and debt like items as provided by Inspirato management. The resulting estimated equity value range was then divided by the number of shares of Inspirato Common Stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis (including "in the money" warrants and RSUs based on the treasury method), as provided by Inspirato management, to derive a range of equity values per share of $2.31 to $3.15, as compared to the equity value per share of $4.27 in the Merger.

None of the selected public companies was identical to Inspirato. As a result, a complete valuation analysis cannot be limited to a quantitative review of the selected public companies, but also requires complex consideration and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of such companies, as well as other factors that could affect their value relative to that of Inspirato.

*Selected M&A Transactions Analysis*

Roth Capital reviewed selected publicly available financial terms of 27 selected transactions in the luxury hospitality club industry. The selection of these transactions was based on, among other things, the target company's industry and operational similarity, the relative size of the transaction, and the availability of public information related to the selected transaction. The selected transactions were as follows:

------

---

None of the target companies in the selected transactions reviewed are identical to Inspirato and certain of these companies may have characteristics that are materially different from those of Inspirato. The analysis necessarily involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operational characteristics of the target companies and other factors that could affect their comparability to Inspirato.

Financial data for the selected transactions were based on public filings and other publicly available information prior to the announcement of the relevant transaction, while Inspirato's financial data was furnished to Roth Capital by Inspirato's management and based on forecasts and estimates.

Roth Capital reviewed, among other things, the enterprise value as a multiple of the last twelve months' ("LTM") EBITDA of the target company for the selected transactions. Roth Capital's analysis excluded the impact of multiples considered to be not meaningful or that were unavailable.

Based on Roth Capital's judgment and professional experience, Roth Capital applied the 25<sup>th</sup> and 75<sup>th</sup> percentiles of the LTM EBITDA multiples observed for the selected transactions to the corresponding financial data for Inspirato provided by the management of Inspirato. This corresponded with Roth Capital applying multiples of 10.3x to 14.9x to the corresponding LTM EBITDA of Inspirato of $4 million to derive a range per share of $2.51 to $3.65, as compared to the equity value per share of $4.27 in the Merger.

*Transaction Premium Analysis* 

In order to assess the premium to be received by the Stockholders relative to the premiums offered to stockholders in other transactions, Roth Capital reviewed the premium paid in the selected transactions. For each selected transaction, Roth Capital calculated the premium per share paid by the acquirer by comparing the announced transaction value per share to the target company's share price on the last unaffected date prior to the announcement of such transaction, excluding the impact of premiums considered to

------

be not meaningful or that were unavailable. Based on Roth Capital's judgment and professional experience, Roth Capital applied the 25<sup>th</sup> and 75<sup>th</sup> percentiles of the premiums observed for the selected transactions, which corresponded to a premium range of 18.6% to 40%, to the closing price per share of Inspirato Common Stock of $2.80 as of December 12, 2025. This analysis indicated a range of implied equity values of $3.32 to $3.92 per share, as compared to the equity value per share of $4.27 in the Merger.

The reasons for and the circumstances surrounding each of the transactions analyzed in the transaction premium analysis were diverse and there are inherent differences in the business, operations, financial conditions and prospects of Inspirato and the companies included in the transaction premium analysis. The analysis necessarily involved complex considerations and judgments concerning the differences between the characteristics of the selected transactions and the proposed transaction which would affect the acquisition values of the target companies and Inspirato.

***Miscellaneous***

In connection with Roth Capital's engagement by Inspirato as its financial advisor in connection with the Merger, Roth Capital agreed to receive a fee for its services, of which $250,000 was payable upon Roth Capital's delivery of the opinion and $150,000 is due and payable to Roth Capital contingent upon closing of the Merger. Roth Capital will receive an additional fee of $100,000 due and payable upon each additional formal affirmation of the opinion (if any) requested by Inspirato. Inspirato has agreed to indemnify Roth Capital and its affiliates against certain liabilities. Roth Capital will also be reimbursed for certain expenses in connection with its services.

Roth Capital is a full-service securities firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities, as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, Roth Capital and its affiliates may acquire, hold or sell, for Roth Capital's or its affiliates' own accounts and for the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of Inspirato and the other parties to the Merger, and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or a short position in such securities. Except for the following, Roth Capital has not had a material relationship with, nor has Roth Capital otherwise received any fees from Inspirato, Exclusive Investments or any other parties to the Merger during the two years preceding the date of the opinion. During the two years preceding the date of the opinion, Roth Capital was engaged by Inspirato (i) under a financial advisory engagement pursuant to which Roth Capital provided a fairness opinion and for which Roth Capital received a fee of $750,000 in connection with its engagement and delivery of such fairness opinion; and (ii) to provide certain valuation services to the board of directors of Inspirato for which Roth Capital received a fee of $250,000.

***Certain Management Projections***

Inspirato does not, as a matter of course, make public long-term forecasts or internal projections regarding future financial performance, revenue, earnings, or other results, due to, among other reasons, the inherent uncertainty of the underlying assumptions. However, in connection with its evaluation of the Merger, Inspirato's management prepared certain unaudited financial forecasts for Inspirato on a standalone basis (together, the "Management Projections").

The Management Projections were provided to the Inspirato Board for use in their evaluation of the proposed transaction, and to Roth Capital for its use and reliance in connection with its financial analyses and its fairness opinion. The inclusion of this information in this proxy statement should not be regarded as an indication that Inspirato, the Inspirato Board or any of their respective advisors considered the information predictive of actual future performance or events, or that the Management Projections should be viewed as financial guidance of any kind.

The Management Projections include non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA and unlevered free cash flow. These measures were included in the forecasts used by Roth Capital in rendering its fairness opinion and are therefore excluded from the definition of "non-GAAP financial measures" under SEC rules. Accordingly, a reconciliation to GAAP is not provided.

The Management Projections were prepared solely for internal purposes and are subject to numerous assumptions that are inherently uncertain and may be affected by factors beyond management's control. These assumptions include general business, market, industry, regulatory, and economic conditions, among others. The Management Projections do not account for the potential effects of the Merger or the risks associated with the transaction not being consummated.

The prospective financial information has been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, our management. BDO USA, P.C., Inspirato's independent auditor, has not audited, reviewed, examined, compiled, nor applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to this prospective financial information. Accordingly, BDO USA, P.C. does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with

------

respect thereto. Any previously issued reports of BDO USA, P.C. relates to Inspirato's previously issued financial statements and does not extend to the prospective financial information, and should not be read to do so.

Neither Inspirato nor its independent auditor have verified or expressed any view on the Management Projections, and no such assurance or guarantee is made. The inclusion of the Management Projections should not be regarded as a representation that such results will be achieved.

**Interests of Inspirato's Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger**

In considering the recommendation of the Inspirato Board that Inspirato stockholders approve the transaction and vote in favor of the Merger Proposal and the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal, Inspirato stockholders should be aware that certain of the executive officers and directors of Inspirato have interests in the Merger that are or may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Inspirato stockholders generally. The Inspirato Board was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in evaluating and approving the Merger Agreement, and in making its recommendation that Inspirato stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement. These interests are described in more detail below.

For purposes of this disclosure, Inspirato's NEOs are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Mr. Zamani, our Chief Executive Officer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Michael Arthur, our former Chief Financial Officer; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Brent Wadman, our General Counsel.

***Certain Assumptions***

Except as otherwise specifically noted, for purposes of quantifying the potential payments and benefits to our NEOs as described in this section, the following assumptions were used:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The relevant price per share of Inspirato Common Stock is $4.27, which is equal to the Merger Consideration;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Effective Time of the Merger as referenced in this section occurs on January 8, 2026, which is the assumed date of the Effective Time solely for purposes of the disclosure in this section;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The employment of Mr. Zamani is terminated upon the Effective Time, entitling him to severance in accordance with the CEO Employment Agreement (as amended);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The employment of Mr. Wadman is terminated by Inspirato without "cause" upon the Effective Time of the Merger, entitling him to enhanced "change of control" related severance in accordance with his employment agreement;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The employment of Mr. Arthur terminated on December 31, 2025 and he is not entitled to cash severance or other termination pay; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Each NEO has properly executed and not revoked any required separation and release agreements and has otherwise satisfied all requirements necessary to receive the payments and benefits described below.

The amounts indicated below are estimates based on multiple assumptions (including the assumptions described above) that may or may not actually occur or be accurate on the relevant date, and do not reflect certain compensation actions that may occur before completion of the transaction. Accordingly, the actual amounts received may differ from the estimates set forth below.

***Executive Severance Arrangements***

*Payam Zamani*

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Mr. Zamani and Inspirato entered into the CEO Employment Agreement Amendment, pursuant to which Mr. Zamani's employment with the Company will terminate without cause on the Closing Date. Upon termination, Mr. Zamani will be eligible to receive severance payments of $1.1 million, the same amount provided for in CEO Employment Agreement prior to the CEO Employment Agreement Amendment, payable in two tranches. The first tranche will be equal to $1.0 million and will be payable on the Closing Date, contingent upon Mr. Zamani executing an immediately effective separation and release agreement. The second tranche will be equal to $100,000 and will be payable shortly following the Closing Date, contingent upon Mr. Zamani executing and not revoking a second separation and release agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the separation and release agreements, Mr. Zamani has agreed to remain available to the Company to answer questions and to provide knowledge of the business for a period of 90 days post-termination and to pay for the cost any of his Inspirato bookings that occur following his termination date. Mr. Zamani is also required to remain in compliance with his obligations set forth in his Proprietary Rights and Inventions Assignment Agreement with the Company.

*Michael Arthur*

Mr. Arthur resigned from the Company effective December 31, 2025. Pursuant to his Resignation and Transition Agreement, Mr. Arthur is not entitled to cash severance or other termination or change in control payments, but is entitled to accelerated vesting of his Company RSUs at the Effective Time as described in the section below entitled "—*Treatment of Equity Awards*."

*Brent Wadman* 

Mr. Wadman is party to an employment agreement with the Company (as amended, the "Wadman Agreement") that entitles him to severance in the event that he is terminated without "cause" or resigns for "good reason" (as each term is defined in the Wadman Agreement), and the amount of the severance to which he is entitled is enhanced if the termination occurs within 16 weeks before or after a "change of control" of Inspirato. The Merger will constitute a "change of control" as defined in the Wadman Agreement. If Mr. Wadman is terminated without "cause" or resigns for "good reason" within 16 weeks before or after the a "change of control" of Inspirato (which includes the Merger), he will be entitled to (i) cash severance equal to 26 weeks of base salary, plus an additional week of base salary for each year of employment with the Company, payable semi-monthly on Inspirato's regular pay dates until the applicable number of weeks of base pay severance has been paid in full , and (ii) payment of Mr. Wadman's COBRA premiums until the end of the cash severance payment period (or, if earlier, until Mr. Wadman becomes eligible for another employer's group medical plan or COBRA eligibility ends). In addition, 100% of Mr. Wadman's unvested equity in Inspirato will vest in full on the earlier of his termination date or the closing of a "change of control" of Inspirato (including the Merger). To receive the severance, Mr. Wadman is required to execute and not revoke a customary full release of all claims and to comply with his existing obligations to the Company, including the obligations set forth in his Proprietary Rights and Inventions Assignment Agreement with the Company.

***Stay Bonus Awards***

Inspirato has established a stay bonus program in an aggregate amount of up to $1.3 million to promote retention and incentivize efforts to consummate the closing of the Merger. Such bonus awards, which have been (or will be) made to key employees selected by the Inspirato Board, will vest and become payable 100% on the Closing Date, subject to the eligible recipient's continued employment with Inspirato or its subsidiaries through such date. The amount of any such bonus awards will be offset by any severance payments that are expected to be made if the applicable key employee is terminated at or around the closing of the merger. Inspirato has granted a stay bonus of $200,000 to Mr. Wadman and has not granted, and will not grant, a stay bonus to either of the other NEOs*.*** 

------

***Treatment of Equity Awards***

Upon the Effective Time, (i) each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable with respect to the total number of shares underlying such Company RSUs and (ii) each Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled for no consideration.

The table below sets forth (i) the number of Company RSUs that are unvested for each executive officer of the Company and each non-employee member of the Inspirato Board as of January 8, 2026, which is the assumed date of the Effective Time solely for purposes of the disclosure in this section and (ii) the estimated value of those awards (on a pre-tax basis), assuming the price of a share of Inspirato Common Stock is $4.27, which is equal to the Merger Consideration. The actual value realized with respect to any Company RSU Award cannot be determined with any certainty until the awards are settled. Company Options are excluded from the table below because they have an exercise price per share greater than the Merger Consideration and will be cancelled upon the Effective Time without the payment of any consideration.

***Value of Payments and Benefits***

The information set forth below regarding the compensation of each of Inspirato's NEOs that is based on or otherwise relates to the Merger is provided in accordance with Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K.

The amounts indicated below are estimates based on the assumptions described above under the heading entitled "—Certain Assumptions" (e.g., an Effective Time of January 8, 2026 solely for purposes of the disclosure in this section, a price per share of Inspirato Common Stock of $4.27, which is equal to the Merger Consideration, Mr. Zamani's and Mr. Wadman's termination at the Effective Time and entitlement to severance, etc.), as well as multiple other assumptions. The assumptions used in the calculations may or may not actually occur or be accurate on the relevant date, and do not reflect certain compensation actions that may occur before completion of the Merger. Accordingly, the actual amounts received by our NEOs may differ from the estimates set forth below. The amounts shown do not reflect any taxes payable by the NEOs.

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **Cash** <sup>(1)</sup> | **Equity** <sup>(2)</sup> | **Perquisites/ Benefits** <sup>(3)</sup> | **Total** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Payam Zamani | $1100000 | $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1467813 | $— | $2567813 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Michael Arthur | $— | $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;323918 | $— | $323918 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Brent Wadman | $375673 | $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;116046 | $51963 | $543682 |

---

(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amounts shown reflect (i) cash severance payments to Mr. Zamani and Mr. Wadman under their respective employment agreements, as described above in the section entitled "—*Executive Severance Arrangements,*" and (ii) Mr. Wadman's $200,000 stay bonus award, as described above in the section entitled "—*Stay Bonus Awards*." Cash severance under this column for Mr. Wadman is equal to $175,673, which is equal to 29 weeks of his base salary (calculated based on 26 weeks plus three additional weeks for each year of Mr. Wadman's employment). The cash severance payments included for Mr. Zamani and Mr. Wadman in this column are "double-trigger" payments, which means that both a change in control of Inspirato and a qualifying termination of employment must occur prior to any cash severance payment being made to either named executive officer. The disclosure assumes that each of Mr. Zamani and Mr. Wadman timely executes all required separation and release agreements and otherwise satisfy with the terms and conditions applicable to his cash severance payments. The stay bonus amount for Mr. Wadman is a "single trigger" payment, meaning that it is triggered by a change in control of Inspirato.

(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amounts shown reflect the potential value that each named executive officer could receive in connection with accelerated vesting and settlement of Company RSU Awards, as more fully described above under "—*Treatment of Equity Awards*." The amounts in this column are "single trigger" payments, meaning that they are triggered by a change in control of Inspirato. Amounts have been calculated by multiplying the number of shares underlying unvested Company RSUs by $4.27, the Merger Consideration.

------

(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amounts shown reflect the total estimated value of the payment of COBRA premiums for Mr. Wadman for 29 weeks. Per the Wadman Agreement, upon a qualifying termination the Company will pay Mr. Wadman's COBRA premiums for the lesser of (i) 29 weeks (which is the same number of weeks of cash severance payments to which he is entitled), or (ii) such lesser period of time as Mr. Wadman is eligible for COBRA coverage.

In addition, each member of the Inspirato Board, other than Mr. Zamani, will receive a cash payment of $50,000 for their board service in 2025.

***New Compensation Arrangements***

Any Inspirato executive officers and directors who become officers, directors or employees of Exclusive Investments or who otherwise are retained by Exclusive Investments to provide services may enter into new individualized compensation arrangements effective as of the Effective Time and may participate following the Effective Time in cash or equity incentive or other benefit plans maintained by Exclusive Investments. As of the date of this proxy statement, no compensation arrangements between such persons and Exclusive Investments have been established or discussed.

***Investment Warrants***

Upon the closing of the Merger, outstanding Investment Warrants will be converted into the right to receive the excess of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share for such warrants. The Investment Warrants are held by One Planet Group, of which Mr. Zamani is President, CEO and sole beneficial owner. There are 3,061,215 Investment Warrants outstanding, each with an exercise price of $3.43 per share. Accordingly, One Planet Group will receive an aggregate cash payment of approximately $2.6 million in respect of the Investment Warrants upon the closing of the Merger.

***Affiliate Termination Agreement***

Mr. Zamani is President, CEO and sole beneficial owner of One Planet Group, and indirect beneficial owner of Buyerlink, and as a result may realize benefits as a result of the payments to which such entities are entitled under the Affiliate Termination Agreement. Pursuant to the Affiliate Termination Agreement, the aggregate final payment to be made by Inspirato to One Planet Group and Buyerlink will be approximately $450,000. These arrangements are more fully described under "—*Ancillary Agreements.*"

***Indemnification***

The Merger Agreement provides that, for a period of six years following the Effective Time, Exclusive Investments will, subject to certain limitations, indemnify and hold harmless each person who is or was, at or prior to the Effective Time, a director, officer or employee of Inspirato or any of its subsidiaries (each, an "Indemnified Person") in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and the organizational documents of Inspirato. This includes liabilities arising out of the fact that such person served in any such capacity, whether brought before or after the closing of the Merger. Exclusive Investments is also required to advance expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by any Indemnified Person in connection with such matters, subject to customary conditions.

**Ancillary Agreements**

***Voting and Support Agreement***

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Supporting Stockholders entered into a Voting and Support Agreement with Exclusive Investments and Inspirato pursuant to which they agreed to vote all of their shares of Inspirato Common Stock (including those owned beneficially) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger. The Voting and Support Agreement also contain restrictions on transfer of shares of the Inspirato Common Stock held by the Supporting Stockholders. The Supporting Stockholders collectively beneficially owned approximately 36% of the outstanding shares of Inspirato Common Stock as of the record date.

The Voting and Support Agreement terminates upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the Effective Time, (ii) the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (iii) the unilateral election of Exclusive Investments to terminate the Voting and Support Agreement or (iv) the mutual written agreement of Exclusive Investments and the Supporting Stockholders to terminate the Voting and Support Agreement.

------

***Affiliate Termination Agreement***

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Inspirato entered into an Affiliate Termination Agreement with One Planet Group, of which Mr. Zamani is President, CEO and sole beneficial owner, and Buyerlink, of which he is the indirect beneficial owner, pursuant to which certain existing related party agreements between the affiliates and the Company will be terminated as of December 31, 2025 and all Inspirato will make certain final payments to One Planet Group and Buyerlink in respect of services provided under such agreements. Pursuant to the related party agreements, (i) Buyerlink provides certain services, and a small amount of office space, to Inspirato and (ii) One Planet Group is reimbursed for certain travel expenses it incurs in connection with Mr. Zamani's travel on behalf of Inspirato. The aggregate final payment pursuant to be made by Inspirato pursuant to these agreements will be approximately $450,000.

**Listing of Common Stock and Public Warrants**

Following the closing of the Merger, neither the Inspirato Common Stock nor the Public Warrants will be listed on Nasdaq.

Inspirato will use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain compliance with all Nasdaq listing requirements through the closing of the Merger.

**Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences**

The following discussion is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger that may be relevant to "U.S. holders" and "non-U.S. holders" (both terms defined below) whose shares of Inspirato Common Stock are converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger. This discussion is for general information purposes only and is not tax advice. This discussion does not purport to consider all potential aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that might be relevant for holders of Inspirato Common Stock. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the applicable U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code, judicial decisions and published rulings and other administrative pronouncements issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, which we refer to as the "IRS," all as in effect as of the date of this proxy statement and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect that could result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. This discussion does not address the consequences of any proposed changes in applicable laws. Any change or differing interpretation could alter the tax consequences to the holders described herein.

This discussion is not binding on the IRS or a court, and there can be no assurance that the tax consequences described in this discussion will not be challenged by the IRS or that they would be sustained by a court if so challenged. No ruling has been or will be sought from the IRS, and no opinion of counsel has been or will be rendered, as to any part of the discussion below regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not assert, and a court will not sustain, a position contrary to the U.S. federal income tax consequences discussed below.

For purposes of this discussion, the term "U.S. holder" means a beneficial owner of shares of Inspirato Common Stock prior to the Effective Time that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is not an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership and is, or is treated as, any of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a corporation (including any entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a trust that (a) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one or more "United States persons" (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) with the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source.

As used herein, a "non-U.S. holder" means a beneficial owner of shares of Inspirato Common Stock prior to the Effective Time that is neither a U.S. holder nor an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If a partnership or an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership or other "pass-through" entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes is the beneficial owner of Inspirato Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend upon the

------

status of the partner or the partnership, the activities of the partnership and the partner, and certain determinations made at the partnership or partner level. Accordingly, partnerships and the partners in such partnership (including entities or arrangements treated as partnerships or other "pass-through" entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holding Inspirato Common Stock should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger to them in light of their own circumstances.

This discussion is limited to holders who hold shares of Inspirato Common Stock as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment), and does not address or consider all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be applicable to holders of Inspirato Common Stock in light of their own particular circumstances, including the impact of the alternative minimum tax or the tax consequences to holders of Inspirato Common Stock who validly exercise dissenters' rights under the DGCL. In addition, this discussion is for general information only and does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger to holders who are subject to special rules, including, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• banks, trusts and other financial institutions; insurance companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• brokers, dealers or traders in securities, commodities or currencies or traders that elect to mark-to-market their securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• mutual funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "controlled foreign corporations," "passive foreign investment companies" and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• real estate investment trusts or regulated investment companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• holders who hold their shares of Inspirato Common Stock through individual retirement accounts or other tax-deferred accounts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• tax-exempt organizations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• governmental organizations; tax-qualified retirement plans or accounts or pension funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• S corporations, partnerships or other entities or arrangements treated as partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and investors therein);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• U.S. expatriates or certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• holders who hold their shares of Inspirato Common Stock as part of a hedge, straddle or other risk reduction strategy or as part of a conversion transaction, or other integrated investment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•U.S. holders subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income being taken account in an applicable financial statement (as defined in the Code);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•U.S. holders deemed to sell Inspirato Common Stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•U.S. holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•except as expressly discussed below, U.S. holders that actually or constructively hold (or actually or constructively held at any time during the five-year period ending on the date of the Merger) 5% or more (by vote or value) of our common stock; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•holders who acquired their shares of Inspirato Common Stock through the exercise of Company stock options or otherwise as compensation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In addition, this discussion does not address the impact of the 3.8% Medicare contribution tax imposed on certain income, any aspects of non-U.S., state, local, estate, gift or other tax laws (or any U.S. federal tax laws other than those pertaining to income tax, such as estate or gift tax consequences) that may be applicable to a particular holder in light of its own circumstances.

Further, this discussion does not address any tax consequences of the Merger to holders of preferred stock, stock options, restricted stock unit awards or performance-based restricted stock unit awards whose awards are canceled in exchange for cash or cash-based awards pursuant to the Merger. Such holders of preferred stock, stock options, restricted stock unit awards or performance-based

------

restricted stock unit awards should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the Merger to them in light of their own circumstances.

***U.S. Holders***

A U.S. holder's receipt of the Merger consideration in exchange for shares of Inspirato Common Stock generally will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, a U.S. holder whose shares of Inspirato Common Stock are converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (a) the amount of cash received (determined before deduction of any applicable withholding taxes) with respect to such shares and (b) the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in such shares. A U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis will generally equal the price the U.S. holder paid for such shares. Such gain or loss will generally be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder's holding period for such shares is more than one year at the Effective Time. Long-term capital gains recognized by individuals and certain other non-corporate U.S. holders are generally taxed at preferential U.S. federal income tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses may be subject to limitations.

***Non-U.S. Holders***

The Merger Consideration received in the Merger by a non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax (other than potentially to backup withholding tax, as discussed below) and will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of the non-U.S. holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by such non-U.S. holder in the United States), in which case the non-U.S. holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in the same manner as if it were a U.S. holder, and, if the non-U.S. holder is a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such gain may also be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a rate of 30% or at such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the non-U.S. holder is a nonresident individual who was present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the Merger and certain other conditions are met, in which case the non-U.S. holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and such holder's country of residence) on the net gain derived from the disposition, which may be offset by certain U.S.-source capital losses of the non-U.S. holder, if any, provided the non-U.S. holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Inspirato Common Stock constitutes a United States real property interest (a "USRPI") by reason of our status as a "United States real property holding corporation" (a "USRPHC") for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the Merger or the non-U.S. holder's holding period for the Inspirato Common Stock and the non-U.S. holder owned, actually or constructively, more than 5% of any class of our stock at any time during the shorter of the non-U.S. holder's holding period or the five-year period preceding the Merger.

Regarding the third bullet, we believe that we are not currently a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, even if we were a USRPHC at any point during the applicable period, so long as our common stock continues to be "regularly traded on an established securities market" (within the meaning of the U.S. Treasury regulations) as of the Effective Time, only a non-U.S. holder that actually or constructively owns or owned, at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the effective date of the Merger or the non-U.S. holder's holding period for the Inspirato Common Stock, more than 5% of any class of our stock will be treated as disposing of a USRPI and will be taxable on gain realized on the disposition of their shares of Inspirato Common Stock as a result of the Company's status as a USRPHC with any such gain treated as effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the non-U.S. holder in the United States. A non-U.S. holder that actually or constructively holds or has held more than 5% of any class of our stock should consult its own tax adviser regarding any U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to it with respect to the USRPHC rules.

***Backup Withholding and Information Reporting***

Generally, information reporting requirements may apply in connection with the payment of the Merger Consideration to U.S. holders and, if effected by or through a U.S. office or broker, non-U.S. holders in connection with the Merger. Further, a U.S. holder may be subject to backup withholding on all payments to which such U.S. holder is entitled in connection with the Merger, unless the U.S. holder provides its correct taxpayer identification number and complies with applicable certification procedures or otherwise establishes a valid exemption from backup withholding. In addition, if the Paying Agent is not provided with a U.S. holder's correct taxpayer identification number or other adequate basis for exemption, the U.S. holder may be subject to certain penalties imposed by the IRS. Each U.S. holder should complete and sign the IRS Form W-9 included as part of the letter of transmittal and timely return it

------

to the Paying Agent in order to avoid backup withholding, unless a valid exemption applies and is established in a manner satisfactory to the Paying Agent.

Certain non-U.S. holders may also be subject to backup withholding unless they establish a valid exemption from backup withholding applies and establish such exemption in a manner satisfactory to the Paying Agent (such as by completing and signing an appropriate IRS Form W-8 or other applicable or successor form) and otherwise comply with the backup withholding rules. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding these matters in light of their own circumstances.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowable as a refund or credit against a holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Each holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the information reporting and backup withholding rules in light of its own circumstances.

***Additional Withholding Requirements Under FATCA***

Subject to the proposed U.S. Treasury regulations discussed below, Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, and the U.S. Treasury regulations and administrative guidance issued thereunder, which we refer to as "FATCA," impose a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on certain types of payments, including payments of the Merger Consideration, if paid to a "foreign financial institution" or a "non-financial foreign entity" (each as defined in the Code) (including, in some cases, when such foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity is acting as an intermediary), unless (a) in the case of a foreign financial institution, such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to withhold on certain payments and to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding direct and indirect U.S. account holders of such institution (which includes certain equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are non-U.S. entities with U.S. owners), (b) in the case of a non-financial foreign entity, such entity certifies that it does not have any "substantial United States owners" (as defined in the Code) or provides the applicable withholding agent with a certification identifying the direct and indirect substantial United States owners of the entity (in either case, generally on an IRS Form W-8BEN-E) or (c) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules and provides appropriate documentation (such as an IRS Form W-8BEN-E). Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing these rules may be subject to different rules. Under certain circumstances, a non-U.S. holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes. Gross proceeds may be subject to withholding under FATCA; although under proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, no withholding would apply to such gross proceeds. The preamble to the proposed regulations specifies that taxpayers (including withholding agents) may generally rely on the proposed regulations pending finalization. Non-U.S. holders are encouraged to consult with, and rely solely upon, their own tax advisors regarding the effects of FATCA to them in light of their own circumstances.

Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential application of withholding under FATCA to them in light of their own circumstances.

*This discussion is provided for general information only and is not tax advice. The U.S. federal income tax consequences described above are not intended to constitute a complete description of all potential tax consequences relating to the Merger. Because individual circumstances may differ, each holder of Inspirato Common Stock should consult their own tax advisor regarding the applicability of the rules discussed above to the holder and the particular tax effects to the holder of the Merger in light of such holder's particular circumstances and the application of state, local, non-U.S., estate, gift and other tax laws (or any U.S. federal tax laws other than those pertaining to income tax).*

**Regulatory Approvals**

Under the Merger Agreement, the parties have agreed to use reasonable best efforts to obtain all regulatory clearances necessary to complete the Merger as promptly as reasonably practicable.

The Merger is not subject to required notification under the HSR Act. The total value of the aggregate consideration payable in the Merger is approximately $59.0 million, which is below the applicable HSR Act "size-of-transaction" threshold in effect at the time of the entry into the Merger Agreement. As a result, no filings and no waiting period under the HSR Act are required.

The parties are currently not aware of any other material federal, state or foreign regulatory approvals required to complete the Merger.

**Litigation Related to the Merger**

As of the date of this proxy statement, Inspirato has received zero demands from purported stockholders.

**THE MERGER AGREEMENT**

The following description summarizes the principal terms of the Merger Agreement (attached as <u>Annex A</u> and incorporated by reference in this proxy statement). Your rights and obligations, and those of Inspirato, Merger Sub and Exclusive Investments, are governed by the actual terms of the Merger Agreement, not by this summary. This section is intended to assist in your understanding of the key elements of the Merger Agreement, but should be read in conjunction with the full text of the Merger Agreement. Representations, warranties, covenants, and conditions in the Merger Agreement are negotiated for specific risk allocation purposes, may be subject to materiality qualifiers or confidential disclosures, and may no longer be accurate at the time this proxy statement is provided to stockholders. You should carefully review both the Merger Agreement and this proxy statement, plus Inspirato's public filings referenced in the "*Where You Can Find More Information*" section.

**Structure of the Merger**

Upon satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Inspirato, with Inspirato surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Exclusive Investments. At the Effective Time, all Inspirato Common Stock will convert into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as described in "—*Merger Consideration*" below.

**Merger Consideration**

At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of Inspirato Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration of $4.27 in cash, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

Outstanding Public Warrants and Investment Warrants will be treated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. See "—*Treatment of Warrants*" below. All outstanding equity awards, including options and RSUs, will be treated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, with certain awards canceled without consideration. See "—*Treatment of Equity Awards*" below.

**Appraisal Rights**

Under Section 262 of the DGCL, if the Merger is completed, holders of Inspirato Common Stock who do not vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and who strictly comply with the requirements of Section 262 may be entitled to demand appraisal of their shares and receive a cash payment for the "fair value" of their shares (as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery), together with interest, if any, instead of the Merger Consideration. The court's determination of fair value may be less than, equal to, or greater than the Merger Consideration.

To exercise appraisal rights, a stockholder must follow the procedures specified in Section 262 of the DGCL, including by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• delivering a written demand for appraisal to Inspirato before the vote on the Merger Proposal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• continuously holding the shares of Inspirato Common Stock (as record holder or, if eligible, as a qualifying beneficial owner under Section 262) from the date the demand is made through the Effective Time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• not voting "**FOR**" the Merger Proposal with respect to the demanded shares (an abstention or vote "**AGAINST**" does not, by itself, constitute a demand; a proxy submitted without voting instructions will be voted "**FOR**" and will eliminate appraisal rights for such shares); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• within 120 days after the Effective Time, ensure that a petition for appraisal is filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery.

Inspirato (as the Surviving Company) has no obligation to file such a petition. If no petition is properly filed by a holder wishing to exercise their appraisal rights within that 120-day period, the appraisal right will lapse.

A stockholder who has demanded appraisal may withdraw the demand within 60 days after the Effective Time; thereafter, withdrawal requires the consent of the Surviving Company.

Written demands for appraisal must reasonably identify the holder and the shares for which appraisal is demanded. A demand made by a beneficial owner must be accompanied by documentary evidence of beneficial ownership, a statement that the evidence is a true and correct copy of what it purports to be, and an address at which the beneficial owner consents to receive notices under Section 262 and to be listed on the verified list required by Section 262(f).

------

Prior to the vote on the Merger Proposal at the Special Meeting, all appraisal demands should be delivered to:

Inspirato Incorporated<br>Attention: Investor Relations<br>1544 Wazee Street<br>Denver, Colorado 80202<br>Tel: (303) 586-7771

The procedures of Section 262 must be followed precisely. Failure to strictly comply with the statutory requirements may result in a loss of appraisal rights. The full text of Section 262 of the DGCL is attached to this proxy statement as <u>Annex C</u>**,** and Inspirato stockholders are encouraged to read it carefully.

If you are considering exercising appraisal rights, you should consult your legal advisor promptly to understand your rights and obligations in full.

**Treatment of Equity Awards**

Upon the Effective Time, (i) each award of Company RSUs that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable with respect to the total number of shares underlying such Company RSUs, and (ii) each Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled for no consideration.

**Treatment of Warrants**

Public Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be treated in the Merger in accordance with its terms, and will represent, following the Merger, the right to receive upon exercise of the Merger Consideration that holders would have received if holders had exercised their Public Warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time. However, all of the Public Warrants have an exercise price that is substantially higher than the Merger Consideration and it is unlikely the Public Warrants will have any continuing value. Outstanding Investment Warrants will be converted into the right to receive the excess of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share for such warrants in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

**Treatment of Company Equity Plans**

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Inspirato will terminate each of its equity plans as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, including those under which there are outstanding Company Awards.

**Payment Procedures**

***Paying Agent***

Prior to the Effective Time, Exclusive Investments will designate a Paying Agent for the purposes of effecting the payment of the Merger Consideration to Inspirato stockholders. Exclusive Investments shall pay, or cause to be paid, the fees and expenses of the Paying Agent. Exclusive Investments will deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, in trust for the benefit of holders of Inspirato Common Stock, cash in U.S. dollars sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration in exchange for all of the shares of Inspirato Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares held by Exclusive Investments ("Cancelled Shares") or shares as to which appraisal rights have been exercised ("Dissenting Shares"), payable upon due surrender of physical stock certificates that represent ownership of shares of Inspirato Common Stock ("Certificates") (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or book-entry shares pursuant to the provisions of the Merger Agreement (such cash being referred to as the "Merger Fund"). In the event the Merger Fund is at any time insufficient to pay the Merger Consideration in accordance with the Merger Agreement, Exclusive Investments shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent such additional funds to ensure that the Paying Agent has sufficient funds to make such payments. Exclusive Investments shall cause the Paying Agent to make delivery of the Merger Consideration out of the Merger Fund in accordance with the Merger Agreement. The Merger Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Exclusive Investments, pending payment of the Merger Consideration to Inspirato stockholders. Earnings from such investment of the Merger Fund will be the sole and exclusive property of the Surviving Company.

------

***Payment Procedures for Certificates***

As soon as practicable after the Effective Time (and in no event later than three business days after such time), the Surviving Company shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each Inspirato stockholder that was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a holder of record of Certificates (other than Certificates representing Cancelled Shares or Dissenting Shares): (i) a letter of transmittal and (ii) instructions for surrendering the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) to the Paying Agent, together with delivery of a duly executed letter of transmittal, the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive, as promptly as practicable, the Merger Consideration for each share of Inspirato Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificates, and any Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon surrender of the Certificates. Until surrendered, each Certificate will represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration. If payment is to be made to a person other than the registered holder, the Certificate must be properly endorsed for transfer and the person requesting payment must pay any applicable transfer taxes.

***Payment Procedures for Book-Entry Shares***

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Merger Agreement, holders of book-entry shares will not be required to deliver a Certificate to receive the Merger Consideration. Holders of book-entry shares held through DTC will also not be required to deliver a letter of transmittal and, upon the Effective Time, will automatically be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with DTC's customary procedures. For book-entry shares not held through DTC, the Paying Agent will, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, mail a letter of transmittal and instructions for surrendering such book-entry shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to any book-entry shares will only be made to the person in whose name such book-entry shares are registered. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of any book-entry shares. Until paid or surrendered as contemplated hereby, each book-entry share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration in cash as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, except for book-entry shares representing Dissenting Shares, which shall represent the right to receive payment in accordance with and to the extent provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, or Cancelled Shares.

***Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights***

At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Inspirato shall be closed and thereafter, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares on its records. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates and book-entry shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration. All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates or transfer of book-entry shares in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement will be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Inspirato Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or book-entry shares. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Company for any reason, they will be cancelled and exchanged as provided in the Merger Agreement.

***Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates***

If a Certificate has been lost, stolen, or destroyed, the holder of such Certificate will be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration upon providing an affidavit of that fact. As a condition to payment, Exclusive Investments or the Paying Agent may require the holder to deliver a bond, in a customary and reasonable sum as Exclusive Investments may reasonably direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Exclusive Investments, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company or the Paying Agent with respect to such Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent will pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration for each share of Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate without interest and subject to any withholding taxes required by applicable law.

***Termination of Merger Fund; Abandoned Property; No Liability***

Any portion of the Merger Fund that remains unclaimed by holders of Certificates or book-entry shares on the first anniversary of the Effective Time will be returned to the Surviving Company. Thereafter, any such holder must look only to the Surviving Company (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) for payment of their Merger Consideration (without interest and subject to any applicable withholding requirements). Any amounts that would otherwise escheat to a governmental entity will, to the extent of applicable law, become the property of the Surviving Company, free and clear of any claim or interest of any person previously entitled thereto. None of Exclusive Investments, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company or the Paying Agent will be liable for any Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to pay for Inspirato Common Stock for which appraisal rights have been perfected will be returned to the Surviving Company upon demand.

------

***Withholding Rights***

Inspirato, Exclusive Investments, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company and the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under applicable tax law. Any such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of the Merger Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

**Representations and Warranties**

***No Solicitation***

Except as otherwise permitted in the Merger Agreement, from the date of execution until the Effective Time, Inspirato shall not, and will cause its subsidiaries and representatives not to, directly or indirectly:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• withdraw, modify or qualify the Inspirato Board's recommendation to approve the Merger, or publicly recommend the approval of any Acquisition Proposal (a "Company Board Recommendation Change").

"Acquisition Proposal" means, other than the Merger or any other proposal or offer from Exclusive Investments, any proposal or offer from any entity or "group" (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), other than Exclusive Investments, relating to any (A) direct or indirect acquisition (whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Section 13 under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of any class of equity securities of Inspirato or (B) merger, consolidation, unit exchange, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving Inspirato that is structured to permit such entity or group to acquire beneficial ownership of at least 20% of the equity interests of Inspirato.

"Alternative Acquisition Agreement" means any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, other agreement in principle or other contract with respect to an Acquisition Proposal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to obtaining stockholder approval, if Inspirato receives a *bona fide* written Acquisition Proposal made without breach of the non-solicitation covenant, and the Inspirato Board determines in good faith (after advice from financial and legal advisors) that it constitutes a Superior Proposal (as defined below) or could reasonably lead to a Superior Proposal, then Inspirato may:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• effect a Company Board Recommendation Change; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into a definitive Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal;

provided that Inspirato shall provide four business days' prior written notice to Exclusive Investments about the Superior Proposal and negotiate in good faith with Exclusive Investments regarding an alternative transaction that would allow the Inspirato Board to not make such Company Board Recommendation Change and/or enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement consistent with its fiduciary duties.

"Superior Proposal" means a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal made by a third party, obtained after the date of the Merger Agreement and not in breach of the non-solicitation provisions, which is on terms and conditions which the Inspirato Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory, timing and other aspects of the proposal and all other factors that the Inspirato Board considers appropriate (including the conditionality, timing and likelihood of consummation thereof and the identity of the third party making such Acquisition Proposal), is reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms, and if consummated, would result in a transaction that is more favorable from a financial perspective to Inspirato stockholders than the Merger; provided, that, for purposes of this definition, reference to 20% in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be a reference to 50%.

If, after signing the Merger Agreement and before stockholder approval, a material event or change in circumstances arises which was not known or reasonably foreseeable as of signing, excluding specified general market- or industry-wide events (an "Intervening Event"), and the Inspirato Board decides that maintaining the current recommendation would breach its fiduciary duties, the Inspirato Board may change its recommendation, provided:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• written notice of the Inspirato Board's intent and details of the Intervening Event is delivered to Exclusive Investments; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• following a five-business-day notification period and after considering any proposed revisions to the Merger by Exclusive Investments, the Inspirato Board reconfirms in good faith its decision to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change.

***Regulatory Approvals***

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Inspirato and Exclusive Investments will cooperate with each other and use (and will cause their respective subsidiaries to use) their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain all consents, registrations, approvals, permits, and authorizations that are necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event prior to the Outside Date.

***Litigation Related to the Merger***

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, until the earlier of the closing of the Merger or the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, the parties are obligated to give prompt written notice to each other of any claim, demand, notice, action, suit, arbitration, proceeding, audit or investigation commenced or, to the applicable party's knowledge, threatened against such party that relates to the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby.

***Indemnification***

The Merger Agreement provides that, for a period of six years following the Effective Time, Exclusive Investments will, subject to certain limitations, indemnify and hold harmless each person who is or was, at or prior to the Effective Time, a director, officer or employee of Inspirato or any of its subsidiaries (each, an "Indemnified Person") in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and the organizational documents of Inspirato. This includes liabilities arising out of the fact that such person served in any such capacity, whether brought before or after the closing of the Merger. Exclusive Investments is also required to advance expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by any Indemnified Person in connection with such matters, subject to customary conditions.

**Conditions to the Merger** 

The completion of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver, in whole or in part (to the extent permitted by law) of a number of conditions as set forth in the Merger Agreement. These conditions are customary for a transaction of this nature and are summarized below.

Exclusive Investments will be required to pay to Inspirato a reverse termination fee of $1.0 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated by the Company because (i) all of Exclusive Investment's conditions to complete the Merger have been satisfied and (ii) Exclusive Investments fails to consummate the closing of the Merger within a prescribed period of time.

Each party is required to pay all expenses incurred by it (and its subsidiaries) in connection with the negotiation of the Merger Agreement, the performance of its obligations thereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (whether consummated or not).

Stockholders are encouraged to read the entire document, including all annexes, to understand the proposed transactions fully.

**Attending the Special Meeting**

The Special Meeting will be held virtually on [&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;], [&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;], 2026, at 9:00 a.m., Mountain Time. Stockholders can participate online at [www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ISPO2025SM] using the control number provided on the proxy card or voting instruction form.

Questions may also be submitted during the meeting, and responses will be posted publicly afterward, omitting personal identifiers.

**Purpose of the Special Meeting**

At the Special Meeting, Inspirato stockholders will be asked to consider and vote on the following proposals:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Proposal 1 (the Merger Proposal)*:** To approve the adoption of the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Inspirato, with Inspirato surviving as a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Exclusive Investments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Proposal 2 (the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal)*:** To vote on an advisory (non-binding) proposal to approve the compensation that may be paid or become payable to Inspirato's NEOs that is based on or otherwise related to the Merger; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Proposal 3 (the Adjournment Proposal)*:** To consider and vote on a proposal to approve any adjournment of the Special Meeting for the purposes of soliciting additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the Special Meeting to approve the Merger Proposal.

Inspirato is not currently aware of any other business that will be presented at the Special Meeting.

**Recommendation of the Inspirato Board**

The Inspirato Board has unanimously determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are advisable, fair and in the best interests of Inspirato and its stockholders. Accordingly, the Inspirato Board recommends that stockholders vote "**FOR**" each of Proposals 1, 2 and 3.

**Voting at the Special Meeting**

Stockholders of record as of the record date are entitled to vote. Each share of Inspirato Common Stock is entitled to one vote per proposal. Voting instructions may be submitted online, by phone or by mail using the proxy materials provided. Shares held in "street name" through a bank or broker must be voted through the nominee.

**Quorum and Vote Requirements**

A majority of the shares outstanding as of the record date must be present (virtually or by proxy) for a quorum to be established.

The required votes to approve the proposals at the Special Meeting are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Proposal 1 (the Merger Proposal)*:** Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Inspirato Common Stock. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes "**AGAINST**" this proposal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Proposal 2 (the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal)***: Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of Inspirato Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes "**AGAINST**" this proposal and broker non-votes will

------

have no effect on the outcome. Because the vote on the merger-related compensation proposal is advisory only, it will not be binding on Inspirato. Accordingly, if the Merger Agreement is adopted and the Merger is completed, the merger-related compensation will be payable to Inspirato's NEOs, subject only to the conditions applicable thereto, regardless of the outcome of this non-binding, advisory vote.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Proposal 3 (the Adjournment Proposal)*:** Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of Inspirato Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes "**AGAINST**" this proposal and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome.

**Revocation of Proxy**

A stockholder may revoke a proxy by submitting a new proxy with a later date, notifying the Inspirato Legal Department in writing at the address above, or by voting virtually at the Special Meeting. Merely attending the meeting will not revoke a previously submitted proxy.

**Proxy Solicitation**

The Inspirato Board is soliciting proxies, and Inspirato will bear all related costs. Inspirato employees may solicit proxies without additional compensation. No third-party proxy solicitor is being used.

**Householding of Proxy Materials**

Inspirato may satisfy SEC delivery rules for multiple stockholders sharing an address by delivering a single copy of proxy materials unless a separate delivery is requested. To request individual delivery, contact the Inspirato Legal Department.

**Questions**

For any questions about the Special Meeting or how to vote, stockholders should contact the Inspirato Legal Department at legal@inspirato.com or by mail at 1544 Wazee Street, Denver, CO 80202.

------

**PROPOSAL 1 – THE MERGER PROPOSAL** 

**General**

Inspirato stockholders are being asked to approve the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement, dated December 16, 2025, by and among Inspirato, Exclusive Investments, and Merger Sub, pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into Inspirato, with Inspirato surviving the Merger as a privately held, wholly owned subsidiary of Exclusive Investments. A copy of Merger Agreement is attached as <u>Annex A</u> to this Proxy Statement.

**Consequences of Failing to Approve the Merger Proposal**

If this proposal is not approved, Inspirato would be unable to complete the Merger, which could have significant adverse effects on Inspirato's strategic plans and stockholder value.

**Vote Required and Recommendation**

Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Inspirato Common Stock. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes "**AGAINST**" this proposal.

**THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT INSPIRATO STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE MERGER PROPOSAL.**

------

**PROPOSAL 2 – THE MERGER-RELATED COMPENSATION PROPOSAL** 

**General**

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Rule 14a-21(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act require that Inspirato seek a non-binding, advisory vote from its stockholders to approve the merger-related compensation of Inspirato's named executive officers described in this proxy statement under "*The Merger—Interests of Directors and Executive Officers of Inspirato in the Merger*."

Accordingly, Inspirato's stockholders are asked to approve the following resolution, on a non-binding advisory basis:

"**RESOLVED**, that Inspirato's stockholders approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation that may be paid or become payable to Inspirato's named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the merger, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K under the heading "*The Merger — Interests of Directors and Executive Officers of Inspirato in the Merger*" (which disclosure includes the compensation table and related narrative disclosures required pursuant to Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K)."

**Consequences of Failing to Approve the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal** 

Approval of this proposal is not a condition to completion of the Merger, and the vote with respect to this proposal is advisory only and will not be binding on Inspirato. Accordingly, if the Merger Agreement is adopted and the Merger is completed, the merger-related compensation will be payable to Inspirato's NEOs, subject only to the conditions applicable thereto, regardless of the outcome of this non-binding, advisory vote.

**Vote Required and Recommendation**

Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of Inspirato Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes "**AGAINST**" this proposal and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome.

**THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT INSPIRATO STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE MERGER-RELATED COMPENSATION PROPOSAL.**

------

**PROPOSAL 3 – ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL**

**General**

We are asking you to approve a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting, from time to time, to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to approve the Merger Proposal at the time of the Special Meeting. If stockholders approve this proposal, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, we can adjourn the Special Meeting and any adjourned session of the Special Meeting and use the additional time to solicit additional proxies, including soliciting proxies from stockholders that have previously returned properly signed proxies voting against the proposals. Among other things, approval of the proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting, from time to time, to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to approve the proposals at the time of the Special Meeting could mean that, even if we received proxies representing a sufficient number of votes against the proposals such that they would be defeated, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, we could adjourn the Special Meeting without a vote on such proposal and seek to convince the holders of those shares to change their votes to votes in favor of the proposal. Additionally, we may seek stockholder approval to adjourn the Special Meeting if a quorum is not present.

**Consequences of Failing to Approve the Adjournment Proposal**

The chairperson of the Special Meeting is permitted by our bylaws to adjourn the Special Meeting even if our stockholders have not approved this proposal.

**Vote Required and Recommendation**

Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of Inspirato Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes "**AGAINST**" this proposal and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome.

**THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.**

**FUTURE STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS**

If the Merger is completed, we will have no public holders of Inspirato Common Stock and there will be no public participation in any future meetings of holders of Inspirato Common Stock. However, if the Merger is not consummated, our stockholders will continue to be entitled to attend and participate in meetings of our stockholders.

**Stockholder Proposals or Director Nominations for 2026 Annual Meeting** 

If a stockholder would like us to consider including a proposal in our proxy statement for our 2026 annual meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, then the proposal must have been received by our corporate secretary at our principal executive offices on or before December 5, 2025. Any such stockholder proposal must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials. Proposals should be addressed to:

Inspirato Incorporated<br>Attention: Corporate Secretary<br>1544 Wazee Street<br>Denver, Colorado 80202

Our Bylaws also establish an advance notice procedure for stockholders who wish to present a proposal or nominate a director at an annual meeting, but do not seek to include the proposal or director nominee in our proxy statement. In order to be properly brought before our 2026 annual meeting, the stockholder must provide timely written notice to our corporate secretary, at our principal executive offices, and any such proposal or nomination must constitute a proper matter for stockholder action. The written notice must contain the information specified in our Bylaws. To be timely, a stockholder's written notice must be received by our corporate secretary at our principal executive offices:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• no earlier than 8:00 a.m., Mountain Time, on January 15, 2026, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• no later than 5:00 p.m., Mountain Time, on February 17, 2026.

In the event that we hold our 2026 annual meeting more or less than 30 days after the one-year anniversary of this year's annual meeting, then such written notice must be received by our corporate secretary at our principal executive offices:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• no earlier than 8:00 a.m., Mountain Time, on the 120th day prior to the day of our 2026 annual meeting, and

If a stockholder who has notified us of his, her or its intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting of stockholders does not appear to present his, her or its proposal at such annual meeting, then we are not required to present the proposal for a vote at such annual meeting.

**HOUSEHOLDING**

We have adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called "householding," under which we can deliver a single copy of this proxy statement to multiple stockholders who share the same address unless we receive contrary instructions from one or more stockholders. This procedure reduces our printing and mailing costs. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy cards. Upon written or oral request, we will deliver promptly a separate copy of the proxy statement to any stockholder at a shared address to which we delivered a single copy of these documents. To receive a separate copy, you may contact us as follows:

Inspirato Incorporated<br>Attention: Investor Relations<br>1544 Wazee Street<br>Denver, Colorado 80202<br>Tel: (303) 586-7771

If you are receiving more than one copy of the proxy materials at a single address and would like to participate in householding, please contact us using the mailing address or phone number above. Our stockholders who hold shares in "street name" may contact their brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization to request information about householding.

As of the Effective Time, all such Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be paid in accordance with <u>Section 2.2</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Cancellation of Treasury Shares and Parent-Owned Shares</u>.

Such funds shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent, pending payment thereof by the Paying Agent to the holders of the Shares in accordance with this <u>Article 2</u>; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that any such investments shall be in obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States government or rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker's acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available) or money market funds having a rating in the highest investment category granted by a recognized credit rating agency at the time of acquisition or a combination of the foregoing. Earnings from such investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Surviving Corporation, and no part of such earnings shall accrue to the benefit of holders of Shares.

Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in <u>Section 2.2(e)</u>) to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with delivery of a letter of transmittal, duly executed and in proper form, with respect to such Certificates, the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive, as promptly as practicable, the Merger Consideration pursuant to <u>Section 2.1(a)</u> formerly represented by such Certificates (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in <u>Section 2.6</u>), and any Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name any surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate so surrendered and shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Taxes either have been paid or are not required to be paid. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates. Until surrendered as contemplated hereby, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration in cash as contemplated by this Agreement, except for Certificates representing Dissenting Shares, which shall be deemed to represent only the right to receive payment of the fair value of such Shares in accordance with and to the extent provided by Section 262 of the DGCL.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)*Book-Entry Shares*.

In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Book-Entry Shares held through The Depository Trust Company whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to <u>Section 2.1(a)</u> shall automatically upon the Effective Time be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver to The Depository Trust Company or its nominee, as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, in respect of each such Book-Entry Share a cash amount in immediately available funds equal to the Merger Consideration (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in <u>Section 2.6</u>), and such Book-Entry Shares of such holder shall be cancelled. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time (and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the Effective Time), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each Person that was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a holder of record of Book-Entry Shares not held through The Depository Trust Company: (A) a letter of transmittal, which shall be in such form as Parent, the Company and the Paying Agent shall reasonably agree; and (B) instructions for returning such letter of transmittal in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon delivery of such letter of transmittal, in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, as promptly as practicable, the Merger Consideration pursuant to <u>Section 2.1(a)</u> (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in <u>Section 2.6</u>), and such Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall at the Effective Time be cancelled. Payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of Book-Entry Shares. Until paid or surrendered as contemplated hereby, each Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration in cash as contemplated by this Agreement, except for Book-Entry Shares representing Dissenting Shares, which shall be deemed to represent the right to receive payment of the fair value of such Shares in accordance with and to the extent provided by Section 262 of the DGCL.

At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter, there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except the right to receive, pursuant to <u>Section 2.1(a)</u>, upon surrender of such Certificates or transfer of such Book-Entry Shares in accordance with this <u>Section 2.2</u>, the Merger Consideration. All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Termination of Fund; Abandoned Property; No Liability</u>. Any portion of the funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) made available to the Paying Agent that remains unclaimed by the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares on the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Time will be returned to the Surviving Corporation or an affiliate thereof designated by the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any such holder who has not surrendered its Certificates or transferred its Book-Entry Shares for the Merger Consideration in accordance with <u>Section 2.2(b)</u> prior to such time shall thereafter look only to Parent and the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) for delivery of the Merger Consideration without interest and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law as provided in <u>Section 2.6</u>, in respect of such holder's surrender of their Certificates or Book-Entry Shares and compliance with the procedures in <u>Section 2.2(b)</u>. Any portion of the Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed by the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Entity will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation or an affiliate thereof designated by the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of any claim or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or their respective affiliates will be liable to any holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share for Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar applicable Law. Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to <u>Section 2.2(a)</u> to pay for Shares for which appraisal rights have been perfected shall be returned to the Surviving Corporation upon demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates</u>. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to <u>Section 2.1(a)</u>. Parent or the Paying Agent may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in a reasonable sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>2.3 Dissenting Shares</u>. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (but subject to the provisions of this <u>Section 2.3</u>), Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who is entitled to demand, and has properly demanded, appraisal for such Shares in accordance with, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares, the "<u>Dissenting Shares</u>") shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, all Dissenting Shares shall be cancelled and cease to exist, and

------

the holders of Dissenting Shares shall only be entitled to the rights granted to them under the DGCL with respect to such Dissenting Shares. If any such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses its right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted, as of the Effective Time, into and shall be exchangeable solely for the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to <u>Section 2.1(a)</u> without interest and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law as provided in <u>Section 2.6</u>, upon surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares that formerly evidenced such Shares in the manner provided in <u>Section 2.2</u>. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Shares, any withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to rights to be paid the fair value of Dissenting Shares, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise (or offer to settle or compromise), any such demand or agree to do any of the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>2.4 Treatment of Company Equity Awards</u>.

Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each award of restricted stock units covering Shares ("<u>Company RSUs</u>") that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) shall automatically, and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, vest, if unvested, and be cancelled and converted into the right to receive (without interest and *less* applicable Tax withholdings and deductions) an amount in cash equal to (x) the total number of Shares underlying such Company RSUs, *multiplied by* (y) the Merger Consideration (the "<u>Company RSU Consideration</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Payment by Surviving Corporation</u>. The Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, pay to the holders of Company RSUs the Company RSU Consideration, *less* applicable Tax withholdings and deductions, through the Surviving Corporation's payroll system (or, through accounts payable with respect to any amount that is not wages subject to payroll processing), not later than the earlier of (i) the first (1st) payroll date to occur at least three (3) Business Days following the Closing Date or (ii) the 15<sup>th</sup> calendar day after the Closing Date; <u>provided</u>, that with respect to any Company RSUs that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, such Company RSU Consideration shall be paid on such settlement date(s) as set forth in the applicable Company RSU award agreement to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company ESPP shall be terminated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)<u>Board Actions</u>.

Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Investment Warrant, to the extent outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, by virtue of the Merger automatically and without any required action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders thereof, be cancelled and extinguished as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest), if any, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of Shares subject to the Investment Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Share of the Investment Warrant (the "<u>Investment Warrant Consideration</u>"). Parent shall cause the Investment Warrant Consideration (less any applicable withholding Taxes) to be paid to the holder of the Investment Warrant through accounts payable as soon as practicable following the Closing Date.

Without the prior written consent of Parent, in no event shall the Proxy Date be changed to a date that would result in the Company Stockholder Meeting being within ten (10) Business Days of the Outside Date, except as required by applicable Law. Without the prior written consent of Parent, the adoption of this Agreement shall be the only matter (other than matters of procedures and matters required by applicable Law to be voted on by the Company's stockholders in connection with the adoption of this Agreement) that the Company shall propose to be acted on by the stockholders of the Company at the Company Stockholder Meeting. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to duly call, convene and hold the Company Stockholder Meeting as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Proxy Date; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Company may postpone, recess or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting: (i) with the consent of Parent, (ii) for the absence of a quorum (it being understood that the Company may not postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting (x) more than two (2) times or (y) for more than ten (10) Business Days, in each case, without Parent's prior written consent), (iii) to solicit additional proxies for the purposes of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval (it being understood that the Company may not postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting (x) more than two (2) times or (y) for more than ten (10) Business Days, in each case, without Parent's prior written consent) or (iv) to allow the minimum reasonable additional time for the filing and distribution of any supplemental or amended disclosure which the Company Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) is necessary under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated to and reviewed by the Company's stockholders prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting. Unless the Company Board shall have effected a Company Board Recommendation Change pursuant to <u>Section 5.3</u>, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement.

The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to provide (and to cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective personnel and advisors to provide) such cooperation and assistance to Parent as Parent may reasonably request in connection with the arrangement by Parent of any debt financing to be obtained by Parent or its Affiliates, including in connection with the Transactions ("<u>Debt Financing</u>"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries: (i) shall be required to approve, execute or deliver any document relating to the Debt Financing that, in each case, is not effective or conditioned, as applicable, upon the Closing or that would not terminate without liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries upon the termination of this Agreement (other than customary authorization letters); (ii) shall be required to incur any liability or obligation (including any indemnification obligation) in connection with the Debt Financing that is not contingent on the Closing, or pay any commitment or other fee in connection with the Debt Financing prior to the Closing; (iii) shall be obligated to provide any financial (or other) information that cannot be produced or provided without unreasonable cost or expense; (iv) shall be required to take any action that would conflict with, violate or result in a breach of or default under its organizational documents, or any law to which it or its property is bound or any Contract with a third party to which it is a party; (v) shall be required to take any action that would subject any director, manager, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any actual or potential personal liability; (vi) shall be required to provide access to or disclose information that the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with counsel) would jeopardize any attorney client privilege of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (vii) shall be required to take any action that it determines in good faith would unreasonably interfere with the ongoing commercial operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries; (viii) shall be required to deliver or cause the delivery of any legal opinions or accountants' comfort letters or reliance letters in connection with the Debt Financing; or (ix) waive or amend any terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the condition set forth in <u>Section 6.3(b)</u>, as it applies to the Company's obligations relating to the Debt Financing, shall be deemed satisfied, and the Company shall not be deemed to have breached or failed to perform or observe any covenants, obligations or other agreements set forth in this <u>Section 5.5</u> relating to the Debt Financing unless the Debt Financing (if any) has not been obtained primarily as a result of a deliberate action or omission taken or omitted to be taken by the Company in willful and material breach of its obligations under this <u>Section 5.5</u>., which breach has not been cured on or prior to the fifth (5<sup>th</sup>) Business Day after Parent has provided written notice specifically identifying such breach to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Expense Reimbursement; Indemnification</u>. In the event this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to <u>Article 7</u>, Parent shall reimburse each of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, for all reasonable and documented third-party out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the cooperation or obligations of the Company or its Subsidiaries contemplated by this <u>Section 5.5</u>, other than amounts that would have been incurred in connection with the Transactions notwithstanding the Debt Financing. Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Subsidiaries, and their respective directors, officers, employees and representatives, from and against any and all liabilities or losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives, or arising from incorrect or misleading information provided by Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding any other provision set forth herein or in any other agreement between Parent (or any of its affiliates) and the Company (or any of its affiliates), Parent may share non-public or confidential information regarding the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses with the Debt Financing sources, and Parent, its affiliates and the Debt Financing sources may share such information with potential debt investors in connection with any marketing efforts (including any syndication) in connection with the Debt Financing, <u>provided</u> that the recipients of such information agree to customary (including "click through") confidentiality arrangements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Financing Not a Condition</u>. Parent acknowledges and agrees that obtaining the Debt Financing is not a condition to its obligations under this Agreement. If the Debt Financing has not been obtained, Parent and Merger Sub shall continue to be obligated, until such time as the Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms and subject to the waiver or fulfillment of the conditions set forth herein, to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>5.6 Appropriate Action; Consents; Filings</u>.

Each of the parties shall furnish to each other party such necessary information and reasonable assistance as such other party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>5.7 Certain Notices</u>. During the Interim Period, unless prohibited by applicable Law, each party shall give prompt notice to the other parties if any of the following occur: (a) receipt of any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent or approval of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions; (b) receipt of any notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity or Nasdaq (or any other securities market) in connection with the Transactions; or (c) such party becoming aware of the occurrence of an event that would reasonably be expected to prevent or delay beyond the Outside Date the consummation of the Transactions or that would reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions to the Merger set forth in <u>Article 6</u> not being satisfied. No such notice pursuant to this <u>Section 5.7</u> shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by the parties hereunder or be taken into account for purposes of determining whether any applicable conditions to Closing set forth in <u>Article 6</u> have been satisfied.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>5.8 Public Announcements</u>. During the Interim Period, Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall not issue any press release or make any public statement with respect to the Merger, the Transactions or this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as may be required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any applicable United States securities exchange or Governmental Entity to which the relevant party is subject, in which case, the party required to make the release or announcement shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow each other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance; <u>provided</u> that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Company may issue a press release or public statement with respect to a Company Board Recommendation Change without prior consultation with, or consent from, Parent and Merger Sub and (b) Parent may issue any press release or public statement

------

with respect to a Company Board Recommendation Change without prior consultation with, or consent from, the Company. The press release announcing the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not be issued prior to the approval of each of the Company and Parent. For the avoidance of doubt, customary communications made by Parent and Merger Sub to partners, investors, prospective lenders, potential investors and similar Persons that are not intended or expected to result in broad public distribution shall not be considered "press releases" or "public statements" and therefore shall not be deemed to violate this <u>Section 5.8</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall obtain a prepaid "tail" policy to provide the Company's directors and officers coverage for an aggregate period of six (6) years with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time, including in respect of this Agreement or the Transactions (the "<u>Tail Policy</u>"), and fifty percent (50%) of the cost of the Tail Policy, up to $500,000, shall be included in the Transaction Fees; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that, Parent shall not be required to pay an amount for the Tail Policy in excess of $1,000,000 (including the portion of the cost of the Tail Policy to be included in the Transaction Fees).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>5.11 Section 16 Matters</u>.

Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>8.10 Headings</u>.

If any term or other provision (or part thereof) of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement (or parts thereof) shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision (or part thereof) is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions are fulfilled to the extent possible.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>8.12 Entire Agreement</u>.

Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto, in whole or in part (whether by operation of Law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of each of the other parties, and any attempt to make any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that, Parent and Merger Sub will have the right to assign all or any portion of their respective rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement to any of their respective affiliates; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that, no such assignment shall relieve Parent or Merger Sub of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>8.14 No Third-Party Beneficiaries</u>. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, other than pursuant to <u>Section 5.9</u>, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>8.15 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Trial by Jury</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Each of the parties hereto hereby expressly, irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware) or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware and any appellate court therefrom, or, if any federal court within the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state court within the State of Delaware and any appellate court therefrom (the "<u>Chosen Courts</u>"), any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the agreements delivered in connection herewith or the Transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to

commence any such Proceeding except in the Chosen Courts, (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such Proceeding may be heard and determined in the Chosen Courts, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Proceeding in the Chosen Courts and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Proceeding in the Chosen Courts. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process outside the territorial jurisdiction of the courts referred to in this <u>Section 8.15(b)</u> in any such Proceeding by mailing copies thereof by registered or certified U.S. mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to its address as specified in or pursuant to <u>Section 8.3</u>. However, nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process on the other party in any other manner permitted by Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND, THEREFORE, IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (ii) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (iii) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY AND (iv) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS <u>SECTION 8.15(c)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>8.16 Counterparts</u>. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, including by facsimile or other electronic transmission, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect, and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by electronic transmission in .PDF format or by facsimile shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>8.17 Specific Performance; Remedies Cumulative</u>. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur, and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law, in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate the Transactions). It is accordingly agreed that, subject in all respects to the terms and limitations set forth in this <u>Section 8.17</u>, the parties shall be entitled to seek to obtain an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity (subject to <u>Section 7.3</u>). Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity

------

except as set forth herein. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. The Company's, Parent's or Merger Sub's pursuit of specific performance at any time will not be deemed an election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other right or remedy to which such party may be entitled, including the right to pursue remedies for liabilities or damages incurred or suffered by the other party in the case of a breach of this Agreement involving a willful and material breach.

Section 20. <u>Submission to Jurisdiction</u>. Each of the parties hereto hereby expressly, irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits, for itself and its property and assets, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom located within the State of Delaware (or, if such court shall not have jurisdiction, any state or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, and any appellate court from any appeal thereof) (collectively, the "<u>Chosen Courts</u>"), in any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the agreements delivered in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agrees not to commence any such Proceeding except in the Chosen Courts, (b) agrees that any claim in respect of any such Proceeding may be heard and determined only in the Chosen Courts, (c) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Proceeding in the Chosen Courts, (d) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such Chosen Courts and (e) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Proceeding in the Chosen Courts. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process, for and on behalf of itself or any of its properties or assets, outside the territorial jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts in any such Proceeding by mailing copies thereof by registered or certified U.S. mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to its address as specified in or pursuant to <u>Section 14</u>.

Section 21. <u>Waiver of Jury Trial</u>. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (B) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS

It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity (including monetary damages). Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on

[Signature Page to Agreement and Plan of Merger]

------

the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. The parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy. The parties further agree that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this <u>Section 22</u>, a party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of remedy or relief that may be available to a party or any third party beneficiary under this Agreement (including monetary damages) or at law; and (ii) nothing set forth in this <u>Section 22</u> shall require any party to institute any Proceeding for (or limit any party's right to institute any Proceeding for) specific performance under this <u>Section</u> <u>22</u> prior or as a condition to pursuing damages after such termination to the extent available to such party or any third party beneficiary under this Agreement, nor shall the commencement of any Proceeding pursuant to this <u>Section 22</u> or anything set forth in this <u>Section 22</u> restrict or limit any party's right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of <u>Section 4</u> or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available at or following such termination. For the avoidance of doubt, and subject to the immediately preceding proviso, a party hereto may concurrently seek specific performance or other equitable relief and any monetary damages, remedies or awards that may be available to such party or any third party beneficiary under this Agreement or at law.

Section 23. <u>Severability</u>. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, illegal, void or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as

to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions are consummated as originally contemplated to the extent fullest possible.

Section 25. <u>Amendment</u>. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto, and the terms and conditions hereof may be waived, only by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties or, in the case of a waiver, by an instrument signed on behalf of the party waiving compliance.

Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Employment Agreement. Capitalized terms defined herein shall be incorporated into the Employment Agreement as amended herein.

Effective as of the date hereof (the "***Amendment Effective Date***"), the Employment Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

1. Section 3.5 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

"**3.5 Other Employment Benefits**. Executive shall be allowed to participate in the Company's other benefit plans and programs on the same basis as other executives of the Company, subject to the eligibility requirements of such plans or programs. Such benefit plans and programs may be adopted, modified or terminated by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion and may include, without limitation, medical, health and dental care, life insurance, disability protection, 401(k) and retirement plans. In addition, Executive will be afforded unlimited booking access as a guest to any of the properties of the Company ("***Company Properties***") at no cost to him (each, a "***Booking***"), and the Company will provide Executive with a reimbursement for any imputed taxes that may result from such Bookings for up to 60 nights annually; *provided, that*, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no new Bookings shall be made by or on behalf of Executive after the Amendment Effective Date, and (ii) each Booking set forth on <u>Exhibit A</u> of the Amendment that is scheduled to occur (in part or whole) after the Closing Date shall either be canceled in full by the Company or paid for by Executive at his sole expense at a price and on terms that are mutually agreeable to Executive and the Company (which approval by the Company also requires prior written approval by the Parent if requested prior to Closing)."

2. Section 4.2 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sentences at the end thereof.

"Subject to Executive's employment through the Closing Date, Executive's employment shall be automatically terminated by the Company without Cause subject to and effective immediately upon, the closing of the Transaction (a "***Merger-Related Termination***"). For the avoidance of doubt, upon such

[Signature Page to Agreement and Plan of Merger]

------

Merger-Related Termination, Executive shall be entitled to the severance payments and benefits set forth in Section 4.6.2 of this Agreement subject to and in

accordance with the terms and conditions of such Section, in addition to the Accrued Payments described in Section 4.6.1 of this Agreement."

(10) days following the effective date of a single release, but instead shall be paid in two tranches of $1,000,000 (the "***Termination Date Severance Pay***") and $100,000 (the "***Delayed Severance Pay***"), in each case, less applicable withholding taxes and deductions and subject to Executive executing (and, if applicable, not revoking) separate releases, as follows: (1) The Termination Date Severance Pay shall be payable immediately upon the Termination Date, subject to Executive's execution of the release of claims attached hereto as <u>Exhibit B</u> (the "***Termination Date Separation and Release Agreement***") on the Termination Date.

------

agreement, or any Company policy, is intended to conflict with this statutory protection: "*(1) An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) is made (i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

Executive has consulted with an attorney extensively regarding this Agreement.

**9. Invalidity of Release.** If any provision of Section 2 of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable and the Executive is permitted to and does assert any Released Claim against a Releasee, the Company shall be entitled to an immediate refund of one hundred percent (100%) of all payments made pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement (except that Executive may retain one hundred dollars ($100)), in addition to any other remedy available to the Company under law or equity.

**11. No Admission.** The parties agree that this Agreement is not an admission, and shall not be construed as an admission, by either Party of any violation of law or other wrongdoing of any kind.

**12. Attorney Fees and Costs.** In any litigation, arbitration or other proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover his/her/its reasonable attorney fees and costs; provided, however, that this provision shall not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

**13. Controlling Law; Venue.** This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado. Any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought only in the state or federal courts in or for Denver, Colorado and the Executive and the Company hereby waive any right that they might have to challenge the selection of those forums, including but not limited to challenges to personal jurisdiction, venue, or the convenience of the forum.

**14. Code Section 409A.** This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("<u>Section 409A</u>"), or an exemption thereto, and this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent. Any payments under this Agreement that may be excluded from Section 409A either as a short-term deferral or as separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service shall be excluded from Section 409A to the maximum extent possible. All separation payments to be made upon the termination of employment hereunder may only be made upon

[Signature Page to Agreement and Plan of Merger]

------

a "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A. Each amount to be paid or benefit provided under this Agreement shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or in any other document, the Company shall not be responsible for the payment of any applicable taxes incurred by the Executive pursuant to this Agreement, under Section 409A or otherwise. The Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments and benefits described in this Agreement will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A, and the Executive agrees that the Company is not responsible for any liabilities arising to the Executive under 409A.

Both this Agreement and the Delayed Effective Date Separation and Release Agreement may be enforced and the existence of both the Delayed Effective Date Separation and Release Agreement and this Agreement shall not limit in any way the effectiveness of the other release, both of which may be enforced against Executive to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. This Agreement may not be modified or amended, nor may any term or provision hereof be waived or discharged, except in a writing signed by both parties. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, including fax counterparts or in electronic format via DocuSign or similar electronic signature service, and all counterparts together shall constitute one fully- executed agreement.

**16. Reserved.**

![image_0b.jpg](image_0b.jpg)

December 15<sup>th</sup>, 2025

Board of Directors Inspirato Incorporated 1544 Wazee Street

Denver, CO 80202

Members of the Board of Directors (the "Board"):

Roth Capital Partners, LLC ("Roth, "us" or "we") understands that Exclusive Investments LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Exclusive") intends to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") contemplating a business combination with Inspirato Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the "Company" or "Inspirato") (the "Transaction"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

As more specifically set forth in the Merger Agreement, and subject to the terms, conditions and adjustments set forth therein, by virtue of the Merger, except for Dissenting Shares and Cancelled Shares, each share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the "Class A Common Stock" and each share of Class A Common Stock, a "Share" and collectively, the "Shares") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger shall be converted automatically into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $4.27 per share (the "Merger Consideration").

You have asked us to render an opinion, as of the date hereof, as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to be received by the holders of Shares (the "Shareholders") in the Transaction pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

For purposes of the opinion set forth herein, we have, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i.reviewed a draft of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 13, 2025 (the "Draft Merger Agreement");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii.reviewed and analyzed certain information, including historic financial results and forecasts, relating to the business, earnings, cash flow, assets, liabilities and prospects of the Company that were furnished to us by or through the management team of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii.conducted discussions with members of the senior management of the Company concerning the information described in clause (ii);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iv.reviewed and analyzed certain publicly available information relating to the Company, including reported prices and trading activity for the Shares, the Company's recent annual report to stockholders, its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three-month period ended September 30th, 2025, as well as the Company's financial outlook for 2025-2028, provided by the management of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;v.reviewed and analyzed the financial information and data, to the extent publicly available, of certain acquisitions that we deemed relevant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;vi.compared certain publicly available financial and other information for certain public companies that we deemed relevant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;vii.participated in certain discussions with management of the Company, its legal advisors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;viii.performed such other analyses and considered such other factors as we deemed appropriate for the purpose of reviewing the proposed Transaction and arriving at our opinion.

We have assumed and relied upon, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of the information that was publicly available or supplied or otherwise made available to us by or through the management of the Company, and we have further relied upon the assurances of the management team of the

------

Company that such information does not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading in any material respect. With respect to any financial projections of the Company, we have been advised by the management of the Company, and we have assumed, with your consent, that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company of the future financial performance of the Company. We express no opinion as to any such financial forecasts, estimates or forward-looking information or assumptions on which they are based or on the assumed probabilities associated with future events contemplated thereby. In addition, we have assumed that the final executed Merger Agreement will not differ in any material respect from the Draft Merger Agreement reviewed by us, and that the Transaction will be consummated in accordance with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement without any waiver, amendment or delay of any terms or conditions. We have also assumed that, in connection with the receipt of all the necessary governmental, regulatory or other approvals and consents required for the proposed Transaction, no delays, limitations, conditions or restrictions will be imposed that would have an adverse effect on the Company or the contemplated benefits expected to be derived in the proposed Transaction. We are not legal, tax, accounting or regulatory advisors. We have relied upon, without independent verification, the assessment of the Company and its legal, tax, accounting and regulatory advisors with respect to legal, tax, accounting and regulatory matters.

In arriving at our opinion, we have not performed any appraisals or valuations of any specific assets or liabilities (fixed, contingent or other) of the Company, and have not been furnished or provided with any such appraisals or valuations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we have undertaken no independent analysis of any pending or threatened litigation, regulatory action, possible unasserted claims or other contingent liabilities, to which Exclusive, the Company or any of their respective affiliates is a party or may be subject, and at your direction and with your consent, our opinion makes no assumption concerning, and therefore does not consider, the possible assertion of claims, outcomes or damages arising out of any such matters.

Our opinion addresses only the fairness, from a financial point of view, as of the date hereof, of the Merger Consideration to be received by the Shareholders in the Transaction pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Our opinion does not in any manner address any other aspect or implication of the Merger Agreement or any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into in connection with the Merger Agreement or otherwise, including, without limitation, the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to any officers, directors or employees of any party to the Merger Agreement, or any class of such persons, relative to the Merger Consideration. This opinion does not address the fairness of the Transaction to the holders of any class of securities, creditors, group of securityholders or other constituencies of the Company. Our opinion also does not address the relative merits of the Merger Agreement as compared to any alternative business strategies or transactions that might exist for the Company, the underlying business decision of the Company to proceed with the Merger Agreement, or the effects of any other transaction in which the Company might engage. This opinion does not indicate that the consideration to be received is the best possibly attainable under any circumstances; instead, it merely states whether the Merger Consideration is within or above a range suggested by certain financial analyses. The decision as to whether to proceed with the Transaction or any related transaction depends on an assessment of factors unrelated to the financial analyses on which this opinion is based.

The issuance of this opinion was approved by an authorized internal fairness committee of Roth in accordance with our customary practice. Our opinion is necessarily based on the economic, monetary, market, financial and other conditions as they exist and can be evaluated, and the information made available to us, as of the date hereof. We express no opinion as to the underlying valuation, future performance or long-term viability of the Company or Exclusive. Further, we express no opinion as to the actual value of the shares of the Company or the prices at which shares of the Company, in each case, including those shares of the Company to be issued in the Transaction, will trade at any time before or after the announcement of the Merger Agreement or during the time between its announcement and closing. It should be understood that, although subsequent developments or events may affect various assumptions used by us in preparing our opinion, we do not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm our opinion based on such developments, events or otherwise and we expressly disclaim any responsibility to do so. Our opinion does not address any legal, tax or accounting matters.

------

Roth has been engaged by the Company to act as its financial advisor in connection with the Transaction and will receive a fee for our services, of which $250,000 is due and payable upon delivery of this opinion and a portion is contingent upon the closing of the Transaction. We will receive an additional fee of $100,000 due and payable upon each additional formal affirmation of the opinion (if any) requested by the Company. In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse certain expenses and to indemnify us for certain liabilities arising out of our engagement.

Roth is a full-service securities firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities, as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, we and our affiliates may acquire, hold or sell, for our and our affiliates' own accounts and for the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of the Company and the other parties to the Transaction, and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or a short position in such securities. Except for as set forth below, we have not had a material relationship with, nor have we otherwise received any fees from the Company, Exclusive or any other parties to the Transaction during the two years preceding the date hereof. During the past two years prior to the date hereof, Roth was engaged by the Company to provide certain services under the following engagements: (i) a financial advisory engagement under which Roth provided a fairness opinion and for which Roth received a fee of

$750,000 in connection with its engagement and delivery of such fairness opinion; and (ii) providing certain valuation services to the board of directors of the Company for which Roth received a fee of $250,000.

Consistent with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, Roth has adopted policies and procedures to establish and maintain the independence of our research departments and personnel. As a result, our research analysts may hold views, make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Company or the Transaction that differ from the views of our investment banking personnel.

This opinion has been prepared solely for the information of the Board for its use in connection with its consideration of the Transaction, and is not intended to be and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder of the Company as to how such stockholder should vote on any matter relating to the Transaction or any other matter. Except with respect to the inclusion of this opinion in the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Transaction in accordance with our engagement letter with the Company, this opinion shall not be disclosed, referred to or published (in whole or in part), nor shall any public reference to us be made, without our prior written approval. The Board may furnish copies of this letter to the Board's legal counsel. This opinion does not create any fiduciary duty on the part of Roth to the Company, the Board, the shareholders of the Company or any other party.

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion, as of the date hereof, that the Merger Consideration to be received by Shareholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement is fair from a financial point of view to the Shareholders.

Very truly yours,

ROTH Capital Partners, LLC

**ANNEX C – SECTION 262 OF THE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE**

**§ 262. Appraisal rights** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to § 228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder's shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word "stockholder" means a holder of record of stock in a corporation; the words "stock" and "share" mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words; the words "depository receipt" mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in 1 or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository; the words "beneficial owner" mean a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of stock held either in voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person; and the word "person" means any individual, corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation in a merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance to be effected pursuant to § 251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to § 251(g) of this title), § 252, § 254, § 255, § 256, § 257, § 258, § 263, § 264, § 266 or § 390 of this title (other than, in each case and solely with respect to a converted or domesticated corporation, a merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance authorized pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of § 265 or § 388 of this title):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting of stockholders, or at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to consent pursuant to § 228 of this title, to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation or the resolution providing for the conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance (or, in the case of a merger pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, as of immediately prior to the execution of the agreement of merger), were either: (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in § 251(f) of this title.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(1) of this section, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation, or by the terms of a resolution providing for conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, pursuant to § 251, § 252,

------

§ 254, § 255, § 256, § 257, § 258, § 263, § 264, § 266 or § 390 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or of the converted entity or the entity resulting from a transfer, domestication or continuance if such entity is a corporation as a result of the conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, or depository receipts in respect thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a. and b. of this section; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d. Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a., b. and c. of this section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under § 253 or § 267 of this title is not owned by the parent immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) [Repealed.]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation, the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation or a conversion effected pursuant to § 266 of this title or a transfer, domestication or continuance effected pursuant to § 390 of this title. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the provisions of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d), (e), and (g) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) If a proposed merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for notice of such meeting (or such members who received notice in accordance with § 255(c) of this title) with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this section that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations or the converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation, and shall include in such notice either a copy of this section (and, if 1 of the constituent corporations or the converting corporation is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title) or information directing the stockholders to a publicly available electronic resource at which this section (and, § 114 of this title, if applicable) may be

------

accessed without subscription or cost. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder's shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder's shares; provided that a demand may be delivered to the corporation by electronic transmission if directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in such notice. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder's shares. A proxy or vote against the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, the surviving, resulting or converted entity shall notify each stockholder of each constituent or converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, and any beneficial owner who has demanded appraisal under paragraph (d)(3) of this section, of the date that the merger, consolidation or conversion has become effective; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) If the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance was approved pursuant to § 228, § 251(h), § 253, or § 267 of this title, then either a constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation before the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, or the surviving, resulting or converted entity within 10 days after such effective date, shall notify each stockholder of any class or series of stock of such constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation who is entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation, and shall include in such notice either a copy of this section (and, if 1 of the constituent corporations or the converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title) or information directing the stockholders to a publicly available electronic resource at which this section (and § 114 of this title, if applicable) may be accessed without subscription or cost. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of giving such notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, within the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days after the date of giving such notice, demand in writing from the surviving, resulting or converted entity the appraisal of such holder's shares; provided that a demand may be delivered to such entity by electronic transmission if directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in such notice. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs such entity of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder's shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, either (i) each such constituent corporation or the

------

converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance or (ii) the surviving, resulting or converted entity shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, later than the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder's shares in accordance with this subsection and any beneficial owner who has demanded appraisal under paragraph (d)(3) of this section. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation or entity that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation or the converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section (but subject to this paragraph (d)(3)), a beneficial owner may, in such person's name, demand in writing an appraisal of such beneficial owner's shares in accordance with either paragraph (d)(1) or (2) of this section, as applicable; provided that (i) such beneficial owner continuously owns such shares through the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance and otherwise satisfies the requirements applicable to a stockholder under the first sentence of subsection (a) of this section and (ii) the demand made by such beneficial owner reasonably identifies the holder of record of the shares for which the demand is made, is accompanied by documentary evidence of such beneficial owner's beneficial ownership of stock and a statement that such documentary evidence is a true and correct copy of what it purports to be, and provides an address at which such beneficial owner consents to receive notices given by the surviving, resulting or converted entity hereunder and to be set forth on the verified list required by subsection (f) of this section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, the surviving, resulting or converted entity, or any person who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, any person entitled to appraisal rights who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding

------

as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such person's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, any person who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section, upon request given in writing (or by electronic transmission directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in the notice of appraisal), shall be entitled to receive from the surviving, resulting or converted entity a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance (or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, the aggregate number of shares (other than any excluded stock (as defined in § 251(h)(6)d. of this title)) that were the subject of, and were not tendered into, and accepted for purchase or exchange in, the offer referred to in § 251(h)(2) of this title)), and, in either case, with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of stockholders or beneficial owners holding or owning such shares (provided that, where a beneficial owner makes a demand pursuant to paragraph (d)(3) of this section, the record holder of such shares shall not be considered a separate stockholder holding such shares for purposes of such aggregate number). Such statement shall be given to the person within 10 days after such person's request for such a statement is received by the surviving, resulting or converted entity or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this section, whichever is later.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by any person other than the surviving, resulting or converted entity, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon such entity, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all persons who have demanded appraisal for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by such entity. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving, resulting or converted entity, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving, resulting or converted entity and to the persons shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving, resulting or converted entity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the persons who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the persons who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any person fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such person. If immediately before the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance the shares of the class or series of stock of the constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation as to which appraisal rights are available were listed on a national securities exchange, the Court shall dismiss the proceedings as to all holders of such shares who are otherwise entitled to appraisal rights unless (1) the total number of shares entitled to appraisal exceeds 1% of the outstanding shares of the class or series eligible for appraisal, (2) the value of the consideration provided in the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer,

------

domestication or continuance for such total number of shares exceeds $1 million, or (3) the merger was approved pursuant to § 253 or § 267 of this title.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) After the Court determines the persons entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, and except as provided in this subsection, interest from the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger, consolidation or conversion and the date of payment of the judgment. At any time before the entry of judgment in the proceedings, the surviving, resulting or converted entity may pay to each person entitled to appraisal an amount in cash, in which case interest shall accrue thereafter as provided herein only upon the sum of (1) the difference, if any, between the amount so paid and the fair value of the shares as determined by the Court, and (2) interest theretofore accrued, unless paid at that time. Upon application by the surviving, resulting or converted entity or by any person entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the persons entitled to an appraisal. Any person whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving, resulting or converted entity pursuant to subsection (f) of this section may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such person is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving, resulting or converted entity to the persons entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such person upon such terms and conditions as the Court may order. The Court's decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving, resulting or converted entity be an entity of this State or of any state.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a person whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving, resulting or converted entity pursuant to subsection (f) of this section who participated in the proceeding and incurred expenses in connection therewith, the Court may order all or a portion of such expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal not dismissed pursuant to subsection (k) of this section or subject to such an award pursuant to a reservation of jurisdiction under subsection (k) of this section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) Subject to the remainder of this subsection, from and after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, no person who has demanded appraisal rights with respect to some or all of such person's shares as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such shares for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on such shares (except dividends or other

------

distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance). If a person who has made a demand for an appraisal in accordance with this section shall deliver to the surviving, resulting or converted entity a written withdrawal of such person's demand for an appraisal in respect of some or all of such person's shares in accordance with subsection (e) of this section, either within 60 days after such effective date or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such person to an appraisal of the shares subject to the withdrawal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall not be dismissed as to any person without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just, including without limitation, a reservation of jurisdiction for any application to the Court made under subsection (j) of this section; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any person who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such person's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance within 60 days after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section. If a petition for an appraisal is not filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, the right to appraisal with respect to all shares shall cease.

(l) The shares or other equity interests of the surviving, resulting or converted entity to which the shares of stock subject to appraisal under this section would have otherwise converted but for an appraisal demand made in accordance with this section shall have the status of authorized but not outstanding shares of stock or other equity interests of the surviving, resulting or converted entity, unless and until the person that has demanded appraisal is no longer entitled to appraisal pursuant to this section.
