#### CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus and the information incorporated by reference herein includes statements that express the Company's opinions, expectations, hopes, beliefs, plans, intentions, objectives, strategies, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results of operations or financial condition and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements." The words "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "possible," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "will," "would" and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements appear in a number of places throughout this prospectus and the information incorporated by reference herein and include statements regarding the Company's intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, the Company's results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies, future market conditions or economic performance and developments in the capital and credit markets and expected future financial performance, the markets in which the Company operates as well as any information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Shifts in consumer spending, lack of interest in new products or changes in brand perception upon evolving consumer preferences and tastes, including due to shifts in demographic or health-and-wellness trends, reduction in discretionary spending and price increases, and our ability to anticipate or react to these changes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Price changes that are insufficient to offset cost increases;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Unsuccessful marketing campaigns that incur costs without attracting new customers or realizing higher revenue;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Failure to attract new customers or retain existing customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Risks associated with reliance on social media platforms, including dependence on third-party platforms for marketing and engagement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Declining performance of the Direct-to-Consumer ("DTC") revenue channel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Inability to effectively manage or scale distribution through Wholesale business partners, particularly key Wholesale partners;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Failure to manage supply chain operations effectively, including inaccurate forecasting of raw material and co-manufacturing requirements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Inability of franchise partners to successfully operate and manage their franchise locations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Failure to maintain high-quality customer experiences for retail partners and end users, including production defects or issues caused by co-manufacturers that negatively impact product quality and brand reputation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Failure to comply with food safety regulations or maintain product quality standards;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Difficulties in successfully expanding into new domestic and international markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Failure to comply with federal, state, and local laws and regulations, or inability to prevail in civil litigation matters;

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We will not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

#### PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
*This summary highlights selected information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. Because it is a summary, it may not contain all of the information that may be important to you. To understand this offering fully, you should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the information set forth under the heading "Risk Factors" and our consolidated financial statements incorporated herein by reference.* 

#### Company Overview
Black Rifle Coffee Company is a Veteran-founded and led premium coffee, and energy drink, company operating through one reportable segment composed of three primary channels: Wholesale, DTC, and Outposts. We leverage in-house media and content creation to support brand awareness, customer engagement, and community building. Founded in 2014 by U.S. Army Veteran Evan Hafer, Black Rifle Coffee began with a one-pound coffee roaster in a garage, where Hafer personally roasted, packaged, and shipped coffee directly to consumers. Today, we have grown into a widely recognized and nationally distributed brand steadfast in its commitment to supporting active-duty military, Veterans, first responders, and others who share our values.

Black Rifle Coffee operates out of offices in West Valley City, Utah; San Antonio, Texas; and Nashville, Tennessee, with a manufacturing facility in Manchester, Tennessee. Our product offerings have expanded beyond traditional roast coffee to include single-serve coffee and ready-to-drink coffee products, as well as Black Rifle Energy, a ready-to-drink energy beverage launched in late 2024. In addition, we offer Black Rifle branded apparel, coffee brewing equipment, and outdoor and lifestyle gear designed to extend brand engagement and customer loyalty.

#### Our Mission and Community
Our mission at Black Rifle Coffee Company is to serve premium coffee and energy beverages and provide proprietary content to active-duty military, Veterans, first responders, and others who share our values. Founded and led by combat Veterans of the Global War on Terror, we are a mission-driven company committed to delivering quality products while giving back to the communities we serve. This dedication is reflected in our recruitment and hiring practices, charitable donations, and storytelling through our media channels.

As a public benefit corporation, Black Rifle Coffee Company balances profitability with purpose. Our public benefit purpose is to support active duty military members, Veterans, and first-responders, including underserved populations within those communities. We achieve this through objectives such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Creating meaningful post-service career opportunities for Veterans, first responders, and their families.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Supporting charities focused on mental health and other critical needs within these communities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Inspiring Veterans to pursue entrepreneurship through select programs and charitable support.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Providing quality products and content that resonate with these audiences.

A significant factor in our success is the work ethic and discipline of our Veteran employees. We are committed to hiring Veterans and military spouses, supporting their transition from military service to private industry. This dedication fosters a strong, cohesive culture at Black Rifle Coffee Company, and we seek to maintain Veterans and military spouses as a meaningful portion of our workforce.

Our corporate giving is strengthened through direct cash and in-kind donations to charities aligned with our public benefit purpose, providing direct support to individuals, charities, and organizations aligned with our mission to serve those who serve.

#### Our Business
We are a digitally native brand with an established omnichannel business model, operating through one reportable segment composed of three primary channels: Wholesale, DTC and Outposts. Each channel plays a distinct role in reaching our customers, building our community, and growing our brand.

In our Wholesale channel, we sell packaged coffee and our RTD beverages through leading Food, Drug, and Mass ("FDM") retailers such as Walmart, Sam's Club, regional and national grocery chains, and convenience stores, such as 7-Eleven, Casey's General Store, and Circle K. Additionally, our coffee, apparel, and gear are sold through specialty retailers like Bass Pro Shops, Scheels, and Ace Hardware. In 2025, the Wholesale channel generated $258.0 million in

5<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
sales, compared to $245.0 million in 2024. We have prioritized growth in this channel by expanding distribution in grocery stores, club stores, convenience stores, and specialty retailers, positioning the Wholesale channel as a key driver of future revenue.

Our DTC platform has been the foundation of our business since the inception of the company and launch of www.blackriflecoffee.com. This channel enabled us to establish brand awareness and scale as a recognizable beverage brand in the United States. Through this channel, we engage directly with customers and obtain insight into consumer preferences. The DTC channel includes our subscription-based Coffee Club, through which customers can receive ground, whole bean, single-serve coffee, or apparel delivered to their home or office on a customizable schedule. As of December 31, 2025, the Coffee Club served approximately 159,900 active subscribers. In 2025, DTC sales totaled $117.6 million, compared to $123.8 million in 2024, reflecting a 5% decline primarily due to consumer purchasing behavior shifting toward retail channels and reallocation of resources in order to grow the Wholesale channel.

Our Outposts offer a company-operated and franchised coffee shop experience, featuring freshly brewed coffee, Black Rifle Coffee merchandise, and a community oriented environment. Since opening the first Outpost in San Antonio, Texas, in 2020, we have expanded to operate 17 company-owned Outposts and 18 franchised locations across ten states, including Texas, Utah, and Tennessee. In 2025, Outpost sales totaled $22.6 million, a decline from $22.7 million in 2024. While new unit growth in this channel is currently limited, we will continue to evaluate the role of this channel within our broader growth strategy, while prioritizing capital allocation toward growth in the Wholesale channel.

We create proprietary digital and social media content designed to strengthen our connection with the Black Rifle Coffee community. Guided by a three-pronged strategy—Inform, Inspire, and Entertain—we use content to educate consumers on our products and brand, including insights into our roasting processes and premium offerings. Through brand-focused storytelling, we highlight the experiences of Veterans, first responders, and everyday heroes who embody our mission. At the same time, we captivate and entertain with humor, creativity, and engaging formats that resonate deeply with our loyal and passionate customer base. This comprehensive approach reflects our core values while fostering lasting brand loyalty and recognition.

In addition to media content, we continue to grow through strategic partnerships and collaborations that amplify our brand and extend our reach. These initiatives include partnerships with social media influencers and high-profile sports organizations to connect with new and existing audiences. For instance, in July 2022, we announced a partnership with the Dallas Cowboys, featuring product placement at AT&T Stadium. In February 2024, we entered into a three-year marketing partnership with the UFC, which includes brand visibility across UFC platforms and events.

These partnerships, combined with our integrated media and marketing strategy, help us build connections with our customers, drive brand loyalty, and differentiate Black Rifle Coffee in a competitive market.

#### Implications of being an Emerging Growth Company
We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act"), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards.

We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our Class A Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, in which case we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31. References herein to "emerging growth company" have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

#### DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The following summary of the material terms of our capital stock is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities and is qualified in its entirety by the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Charter") and Amended and Restated By-Laws (the "Bylaws"). The full text of the Charter and Bylaws are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

#### Dividends
Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of our Class A Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends and other distributions as may from time to time be declared by the Company's board of directors (the "Board") in its discretion out of legally available Company assets, ratably in proportion to the number of shares held by each such holder, and at such times and in such amounts as the Board in its discretion may determine.

No dividends or other distributions will be declared or paid on the Class B Common Stock or the Class C Common Stock.

11<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### Transfers of Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock
A holder of Class B Common Stock may transfer or assign shares of Class B Common only if such holder also simultaneously transfers an equal number of such holder's Common Units in compliance with and as permitted by the LLC Agreement.

No share of Class C Common Stock may be transferred, other than to the holder of such share of Class C Common Stock's permitted transferees under the LLC Agreement, prior to the Conversion Date of such shares of Class C Common Stock, at which time the shares of Class A Common Stock into which such shares of Class C Common Stock convert in accordance with the provisions of the Charter may be transferred, subject to any restrictions on transfer applicable to the holder of such Class A Common Stock and applicable law.

#### Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, after payment of debts and other liabilities and of preferential and after the rights of holders of preferred stock, if any, have been satisfied, the holders of all outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to receive the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution ratably in proportion to the number of shares held by each such stockholder.

The holders of Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock are not entitled to receive any Company assets in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

#### Election of Directors
Subject to the Investor Rights Agreement, directors of the Company shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast at an annual meeting of stockholders by holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, voting as a single class.

#### Public Benefit Corporation Status

Under the DGCL, the Company's stockholders may bring a derivative suit to enforce this requirement only if they own (individually or collectively), at least 2% of the Company's outstanding shares or, upon the Company's listing, the lesser of such percentage or shares of at least $2 million in market value.

#### Anti-Takeover Effects of the Charter, the Bylaws and Certain Provisions of Delaware Law
The Charter, the Bylaws and the DGCL contain provisions, which are summarized in the following paragraphs, which are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the Board and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of the Company. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, reduce the Company's vulnerability to a hostile change of

12<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
control or other unsolicited acquisition proposal, and enhance the ability of the Board to maximize stockholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire the Company. However, these provisions may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a merger or acquisition of the Company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or other takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including attempts that might result in a premium over the prevailing market price for the shares of Class A Common Stock. The Charter provides that any action required or permitted to be taken by the Company's stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special stockholder meeting of such stockholders and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such holders unless such action is recommended or approved by all directors of the Board then in office, except that holders of Class B Common Stock or one or more series of Preferred Stock, if such series are expressly permitted to do so by the certificate of designation relating to such series, may take any action by written consent if such action permitted to be taken by such holders and the written consent is signed by the holders of outstanding shares of the relevant class or series having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting.

#### Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock
Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. However, the listing requirements of the NYSE, which would apply if and so long as the Class A Common Stock remains listed on the NYSE, require stockholder approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding 20% of then outstanding voting power or then outstanding number of shares of Class A Common Stock. Additional shares that may be issued in the future may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions.

Unless required by law or by any stock exchange on which our Class A Common Stock may be listed, the authorized shares of preferred stock will be available for issuance without further action by our stockholders. Our Charter authorizes the Board to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to establish, from time to time, the number of shares to be included in each series of preferred stock, and to fix the designation, powers, privileges, preferences, and relative participating, optional or other rights, if any, of the shares of each series of preferred stock, and any of its qualifications, limitations or restrictions, in each case without further vote or action by our stockholders. Our Board is also able to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series of preferred stock, but not below the number of shares of that series of preferred stock then outstanding, without any further vote or action by the stockholders.

One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved common stock or preferred stock may be to enable the Board to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise and thereby protect the continuity of management and possibly deprive stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of Class A Common Stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.

#### Election of Directors and Vacancies
The Charter provides that the Board will determine the number of directors who will serve on the board, subject to the rights set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement. The Board is divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors will be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting of the stockholders. There is no limit on the number of terms a director may serve on the Board. Subject to the Investor Rights Agreement, the term of all Class I directors shall automatically become one year commencing on the seventh annual meeting of stockholders following the consummation of the business combination contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2021, as amended (such transaction, the "Business Combination"), the term of all Class II directors shall automatically become one year commencing on the eighth annual meeting of stockholders following the consummation of the Business Combination and the term of all Class III directors shall automatically become one year commencing on the ninth annual meeting of stockholders following the consummation of the Business Combination, with all directors having a term of one year from and after such ninth annual meeting of stockholders following the consummation of the Business Combination.

In addition, the Charter provides that any vacancy on the Board, including a vacancy that results from an increase in the number of directors or a vacancy that results from the removal of a director with cause, may be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, subject to the provisions of the Investor Rights Agreement and any rights of the holders of Preferred Stock.

13<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, each director will serve until his successor is duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board will shorten the term of any incumbent director.

#### Business Combinations
The Company has elected not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Charter provides that the Company will not engage in any "business combinations" (as defined in the Charter), at any point in time at which the Company's Common Stock is registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, with any "interested stockholder" (as defined in the Charter) for a three-year period after the time that such person became an interested stockholder unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• prior to such time, the Board approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the Company outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned by (i) persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• at or subsequent to such time, the business combination is approved by the Board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 662∕3% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Under the Charter, a "business combination" is defined to generally include a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or, within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, did own 15% or more of a corporation's outstanding voting stock. The Charter expressly excludes Evan Hafer, certain of its transferees and its successors and affiliates from the definition of "interested stockholder" irrespective of the percentage ownership of the total voting power beneficially owned by them. Under certain circumstances, such provisions in the Charter make it more difficult for a person who would be an "interested stockholder" to effect various business combinations with a corporation for a three-year period. Accordingly, such provisions in the Charter could have an anti-takeover effect with respect to certain transactions which the Board does not approve in advance. Such provisions may encourage companies interested in acquiring the Company to negotiate in advance with the Board because the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if the Board approves either the business combination or the transaction that results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. However, such provisions also could discourage attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by stockholders. These provisions also may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

#### Quorum
The Bylaws provide that at any meeting of the Board a majority of the total number of directors then in office constitutes a quorum for all purposes.

#### No Cumulative Voting
Under Delaware law, the right to vote cumulatively does not exist unless the Charter expressly authorizes cumulative voting. The Charter does not authorize cumulative voting.

#### General Stockholder Meetings
The Charter provides that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by or at the direction of the Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer.

#### Requirements for Advance Notification for Stockholder Meetings, Nominations and Proposals
The Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the Board or a committee of the Board. For any matter to be "properly brought" before a meeting, a stockholder will have to comply with advance

14<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
notice requirements and provide the Company with certain information. Generally, to be timely, a stockholder's notice must be received at the Company's principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders (for the purposes of the first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company following the adoption of the Bylaws, the date of the preceding annual meeting shall be deemed to be June 1 of the preceding calendar year). The Bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder's notice. The Bylaws allow the presiding officer at a meeting of the stockholders to adopt rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings which may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the rules and regulations are not followed. These provisions may also defer, delay or discourage a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer's own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to influence or obtain control of the Company.

#### Supermajority Provisions
The Charter and the Bylaws provide that the Board is expressly authorized to make, alter, amend, change, add to, rescind or repeal, in whole or in part, the Bylaws without a stockholder vote in any matter not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Delaware or the Charter. Any amendment, alteration, rescission or repeal of the Bylaws by the Company's stockholders requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 662∕3%, in case of provisions in Article I. Article II and Article IV of the Bylaws, and a majority, in case of any other provisions, in voting power of all then outstanding shares of the Company's stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.

The DGCL provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, is required to amend a corporation's Charter, unless the Charter requires a greater percentage. The Charter provides that Article X therein, including the provisions therein regarding competition and corporate opportunities, may be amended, altered, repealed or rescinded only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% in voting power of all then outstanding shares of the Company's stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. The Charter provides that Article V, Article VI, Article VII, Article VIII, Article IX, Article XII and Article XIII therein, including the following provisions therein may be amended, altered, repealed or rescinded only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 662∕3% in voting power of all then outstanding shares of the Company's stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provision requiring a 662∕3% supermajority vote, in case of provisions in Article I, Article II and Article IV of the Bylaws, and a majority vote, in case of any other provisions, for stockholders to amend the Bylaws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provisions providing for a classified Board (the election and term of directors);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provisions regarding filling vacancies on the Board and newly created directorships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provisions regarding resignation and removal of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provisions regarding calling special meetings of stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provisions regarding stockholder action by written consent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provisions eliminating monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty by a director;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provisions regarding the election not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provisions regarding the selection of forum (see "- *Exclusive Forum* "); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the amendment provision requiring that the above provisions be amended only with an 662∕3% supermajority vote.

These provisions may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying or preventing changes in control of the Company or its management, such as a merger, reorganization or tender offer. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of the Board and its policies and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of the Company. These provisions are designed to reduce the Company's vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The provisions are also intended to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights.

However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for the Company's shares and, as a consequence, may inhibit fluctuations in the market price of the Company's shares that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. Such provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in management.

#### Exclusive Forum

#### Conflicts of Interest
Delaware law permits corporations to adopt provisions renouncing any interest or expectancy in certain opportunities that are presented to the corporation or its officers, directors or stockholders. The Charter, to the maximum extent permitted from time to time by Delaware law, renounces any interest or expectancy that the Company has in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, specified business opportunities that are from time to time presented to the Company's officers, directors or stockholders or their respective affiliates, other than those officers, directors, stockholders or affiliates who are employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. The Charter provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, none of the non-employee directors or his or her affiliates will have any duty to refrain from (i) engaging in a corporate opportunity in the same or similar lines of business in which the Company or its affiliates now engage or propose to engage or (ii) otherwise competing with the Company or its affiliates. In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in the event that any non-employee director or any of his or her affiliates acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for itself or himself or herself or its or his or her affiliates or for the Company or its affiliates, such person will have no duty to

16<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
communicate or offer such transaction or business opportunity to the Company or any of its affiliates and they may take any such opportunity for themselves or offer it to another person or entity. The Charter does not renounce the Company's interest in any business opportunity that is expressly offered to, or acquired or developed by a non-employee director solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by law, a corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to be a potential corporate opportunity for the Company if it is a business opportunity that (i) the Company is neither financially or legally able, nor contractually permitted to undertake, (ii) from its nature, is not in the line of the Company's business or is of no practical advantage to the Company, (iii) is one in which the Company has no interest or reasonable expectancy, or (iv) is one presented to any account for the benefit of a member of the Board or such member's affiliate over which such member of the Board has no direct or indirect influence or control, including, but not limited to, a blind trust.

#### Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors' fiduciary duties, subject to certain exceptions. The Charter includes a provision that eliminates, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director. The effect of these provisions is to eliminate the rights of the Company and its stockholders, through stockholders' derivative suits on the Company's behalf, to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, including breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior. However, exculpation does not apply to any director if the director has acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized illegal dividends or redemptions or derived an improper benefit from his or her actions as a director.

The Bylaws provide that the Company must indemnify and advance expenses to directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The Company is also expressly authorized to carry directors' and officers' liability insurance providing indemnification for directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities. The Company believes that these indemnification and advancement provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers.

The limitation of liability, indemnification and advancement provisions in the Charter and the Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and its stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent the Company pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. The Company believes that these provisions, liability insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced directors and officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to the Company's directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

#### Exercise of Warrants
Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase the securities that we specify in the applicable prospectus supplement at the exercise price that we describe in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants at any time up to the specified time on the expiration date that we set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants by delivering the warrant certificate representing the warrants to be exercised together with specified information, and paying the required amount to the warrant agent in immediately available funds, as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement.

If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may surrender securities as all or part of the exercise price for warrants.

We may issue subscription rights to purchase Class A Common Stock, preferred stock, other securities described in this prospectus or any combination thereof. These subscription rights may be issued independently or together with any other security offered by us and may or may not be transferable by the securityholder receiving the subscription rights in such offering. In connection with any offering of subscription rights, we may enter into a standby arrangement with one or more purchasers, including underwriters, pursuant to which such purchasers may be required to purchase any securities remaining unsubscribed for after such offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any other terms of the subscription rights, including the terms, procedures and limitations relating to the transferability, exchange and exercise of the subscription rights.

#### Exercise of Rights
Each subscription right will entitle the holder of subscription rights to purchase for cash the shares of Class A Common Stock, preferred stock, warrants, units or other securities, as applicable, at the exercise price provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. Subscription rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date for the subscription rights provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, all unexercised subscription rights will be void.

Holders may exercise subscription rights as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Upon receipt of payment and the rights certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the subscription rights or subscription agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, forward the shares of Class A Common Stock, preferred stock, warrants, units or other securities, as applicable, purchasable upon exercise of the rights. If less than all of the rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to persons other than stockholders, to or through agents, underwriters, brokers or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby underwriting arrangements, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The rights agent for any rights we offer will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### DESCRIPTION OF UNITS
We may issue units consisting of any combination of the other types of securities offered under this prospectus in one or more series. We may evidence each series of units by unit certificates that we will issue under a separate agreement. We may issue units directly or under a unit agreement to be entered into between us and a unit agent. We will name any unit agent in the applicable prospectus supplement. Any unit agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the units of a particular series and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders or beneficial owners of units.

Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time, or at any time before a specified date. We may issue units in such amounts and in such numerous distinct series as we determine.

The following description, together with the additional information included in the applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the general features of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. You should read any prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus we authorize for use in connection with a specific offering of units, as well as the complete unit agreements that contain the terms of the units. Specific unit agreements will contain additional important terms and provisions and we will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from another report that we file with the SEC, the form of each unit agreement relating to units offered under this prospectus.

To the extent appropriate, the applicable prospectus supplement will contain, where applicable, the following terms and other information relating to the units:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the title of the series of units;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• identification and description of the separate constituent securities comprising the units;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the price or prices at which the units will be issued;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the date, if any, on and after which the constituent securities comprising the units will be separately transferable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a discussion of certain United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the units; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any other terms of the units and their constituent securities.

#### Issuance in Series
We may issue units in such amounts and in such numerous distinct series as we determine.

#### Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Units
Each unit agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable unit agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any unit. A single bank or trust company may act as unit agent for more than one series of units. A unit agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable unit agreement or unit, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a unit may, without the consent of the related unit agent or the holder of any other unit, enforce by appropriate legal action its rights as holder under any security included in the unit.

We, the unit agents and any of their agents may treat the registered holder of any unit certificate as an absolute owner of the units evidenced by that certificate for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights attaching to the units so requested, despite any notice to the contrary.

#### PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell the securities offered hereby directly to one or more purchasers, through agents, or through underwriters or dealers designated from time to time. The distribution of securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices (which may be changed from time to time), at market prices prevailing at the times of sale, at prices related to these prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. To the extent required, an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is part, will be prepared and will set forth the following information:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the terms of the securities to which such prospectus supplement relates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the name or names of any underwriters, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the purchase price of the securities and the proceeds we will receive from the sale;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any underwriting discounts and other items constituting underwriters' compensation; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.

Underwriters named in the prospectus supplement, if any, are only underwriters of the securities offered with such prospectus supplement.

Subject to the limitations set forth in any applicable registration rights agreement, we may use any one or more of the following methods when selling the securities offered by this prospectus:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of NYSE;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• through trading plans entered pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement hereto that provide for periodic sales of their securities on the basis of parameters described in such trading plans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• through one or more underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best efforts basis;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• settlement of short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• agreements with broker-dealers to sell a specified number of the securities at a stipulated price per share;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in "at the market" offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated prices, at prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly on a national securities exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales agents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• directly to purchasers, including through a specific bidding, auction or other process or in privately negotiated transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• through a combination of any of the above methods of sale; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

There can be no assurance that we will sell all or any of the securities offered by this prospectus. We have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of securities if we deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.

In connection with distributions of the securities or otherwise, we may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume with us.

In order to facilitate the offering of the securities, any underwriters or agents, as the case may be, involved in the offering of such securities may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our

22<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
securities. Specifically, the underwriters or agents, as the case may be, may overallot in connection with the offering, creating a short position in our securities for their own account. In addition, to cover overallotments or to stabilize the price of our securities, the underwriters or agents, as the case may be, may bid for, and purchase, such securities in the open market. Finally, in any offering of securities through a syndicate of underwriters, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allotted to an underwriter or a broker-dealer for distributing such securities in the offering if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed securities in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities above independent market levels. The underwriters or agents, as the case may be, are not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time.

We may solicit offers to purchase the securities directly from, and may sell such securities directly to, institutional investors or others. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. The terms of any of those sales, including the terms of any bidding or auction process, if utilized, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

It is possible that one or more underwriters may make a market in our securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot give any assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for our securities. Our shares of Class A Common Stock are currently listed on NYSE under the symbol "BRCC."

We may authorize underwriters, broker-dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain purchasers to purchase the securities at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions we pay for solicitation of these contracts.

In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by us may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from us in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.

In compliance with the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), the aggregate maximum discount, commission, fees or other items constituting underwriting compensation to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer will not exceed 8% of the gross proceeds of any offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement.

If at the time of any offering made under this prospectus a member of FINRA participating in the offering has a "conflict of interest" as defined in FINRA Rule 5121 ("Rule 5121"), that offering will be conducted in accordance with the relevant provisions of Rule 5121.

Underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may facilitate the marketing of an offering online directly or through one of their affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms and a prospectus online and, depending upon the particular underwriter, broker-dealer or agent, place orders online or through their financial advisors.

The underwriters, broker-dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us and may have banking, lending or other relationships with us or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the securities must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

We and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the securities will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M. These provisions may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the securities by, us or any other person, which limitations may affect the marketability of the shares of the securities.

We may indemnify any agent, broker-dealer or underwriter that participates in transactions involving the sale of the securities against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Agents, broker-dealers and underwriters may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which the agents, broker-dealers or underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.

#### MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following is a summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of Class A Common Stock as of the date hereof. This summary is limited to beneficial owners who will hold the Class A Common Stock as "capital assets" within the meaning of Section 1221 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

A "U.S. holder" means a beneficial owner of the Class A Common Stock (other than an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) that is , for United States federal income tax purposes, any of the following:

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a corporation (or any other entity treated as a corporation for United States 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;• an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a trust if it (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

A "non-U.S. holder" means a beneficial owner of the Class A Common Stock that is neither a U.S. holder nor a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

This summary is based upon provisions of the Code, and regulations, judicial decisions, and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), in each case as in effect as of the date hereof. Those authorities are subject to different interpretations and may be changed, perhaps retroactively, so as to result in United States federal income tax consequences different from those summarized below. This summary does not address all aspects of United States federal income taxes and does not deal with the effects of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, the alternative minimum tax, the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income, or rules regarding qualified small business stock, and does not deal with state, local, non-U.S. or other tax considerations that may be relevant to U.S. and non-U.S. holders in light of their particular circumstances. In addition, it does not represent a detailed description of the United States federal income tax consequences applicable to you if you are subject to special treatment under the United States federal income tax laws, such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• insurance companies;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• financial institutions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• brokers or dealers in securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "regulated investment companies" and "real estate investment trusts";

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pension plans;

&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;• "qualified foreign pension funds," or entities wholly owned by a "qualified foreign pension fund";

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons deemed to sell our common stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons that hold our common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction, synthetic security or other integrated investment; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• U.S. expatriates.

We cannot assure you that a change in law will not significantly alter the tax considerations that we describe in this summary or that the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position to that discussed below.

24<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
If a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) holds Class A Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. If you are a partner of a partnership holding Class A Common Stock, you are urged to consult your tax advisors.

**Each prospective Investor is urged to consult its own tax advisors concerning the particular United States federal income tax consequences related to the purchase, ownership and disposition of Class A Common Stock, as well as the consequences arising under other United States federal tax laws and the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.** 

#### Tax Considerations Applicable to U.S. Holders

#### Distributions
In the event that we make a distribution of cash or other property (other than certain pro rata distributions of our stock) in respect of our Class A Common Stock, the distribution generally will be treated as a dividend for United States federal income tax purposes to the extent it is paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles. Any portion of a distribution that exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits generally will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in the adjusted tax basis of a U.S. holder's Class A Common Stock, and to the extent the amount of the distribution exceeds a U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in our Class A Common Stock, the excess will be treated as gain from the disposition of our Class A Common Stock (the tax treatment of which is discussed below under "-*Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock*").

Dividends we pay to a U.S. holder that is a taxable corporation will generally qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions (including dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends we pay to a non-corporate U.S. holder will generally constitute "qualified dividends" that will be subject to tax at the preferential tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains. Non-corporate U.S. holders that do not meet a minimum holding period requirement or that elect to treat the dividend income as "investment income" pursuant to Section 163(d)(4) of the Code (dealing with the deduction for investment interest expense) will not be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation applicable to qualified dividends. In addition, the rate reduction will not apply to dividends if the recipient of a dividend is obligated to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. This disallowance applies even if the minimum holding period has been met.

If the applicable holding period requirements are not satisfied, a corporation may not be able to qualify for the dividends received deduction and would have taxable income equal to the entire dividend amount, and non-corporate holders may be subject to tax on such dividend at ordinary income tax rates instead of the preferential rates that apply to qualified dividend income.

#### Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock
A U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss on the sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of our Class A Common Stock, including on a redemption that is treated as a sale or exchange under Section 302 of the Code. In the case of a redemption, such redemption generally will be treated as a sale or exchange of the Class A Common Stock (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (i) is "substantially disproportionate" with respect to the U.S. holder, (ii) results in a "complete termination" of the U.S. holder's interest or (iii) is "not essentially equivalent to a dividend" with respect to the U.S. holder. The redemption of our Class A Common Stock will not be "essentially equivalent to a dividend" if a U.S. holder's redemption results in a "meaningful reduction" of the U.S. holder's proportionate interest in us. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. holder's proportionate interest will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a "meaningful reduction." A U.S. holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.

Any such gain or loss recognized on the sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of our Class A Common Stock, including on a redemption as described above, will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder's holding period for the Class A Common Stock so disposed of exceeds one year. The amount of gain or loss recognized will generally be equal to the difference between (1) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair

25<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
market value of any property received in such disposition and (2) the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in its Class A Common Stock so disposed of. A U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in its Class A Common Stock will generally equal the U.S. holder's acquisition cost for such Class A Common Stock, less any prior distributions treated as a return of capital. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. holders are generally eligible for reduced rates of tax. If the U.S. holder's holding period for the Class A Common Stock so disposed of is one year or less, any gain on a sale or other taxable disposition of the shares would be subject to short-term capital gain treatment and would be taxed at ordinary income tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on the sale or exchange of our Class A Common Stock will generally be treated as U.S. source gain or loss.

#### Tax Considerations Applicable to Non-U.S. Holders

#### Distributions
In the event that we make a distribution of cash or other property (other than certain pro rata distributions of our stock) in respect of Class A Common Stock, the distribution generally will be treated as a dividend for United States federal income tax purposes to the extent it is paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles. Any portion of a distribution that exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits generally will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in the adjusted tax basis of a non-U.S. holder's Class A Common Stock (but not below zero), and to the extent the amount of the distribution exceeds a non-U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in Class A Common Stock, the excess will be treated as gain from the disposition of Class A Common Stock (the tax treatment of which is discussed below under "- *Disposition of Class A Common Stock*").

Dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder generally will be subject to withholding of United States federal income tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

However, dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the non-U.S. holder within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a United States permanent establishment) are not subject to the withholding tax, provided certain certification and disclosure requirements are satisfied. Instead, such dividends are subject to United States federal income tax on a net income basis generally in the same manner as if the non-U.S. holder were a United States person as defined under the Code. Any such effectively connected dividends received by a foreign corporation may be subject to an additional "branch profits tax" at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

A non-U.S. holder who wishes to claim the benefit of an applicable treaty rate and avoid backup withholding, as discussed below, for dividends generally will be required (a) to provide the applicable withholding agent with a properly executed IRS Form W-BEN or Form W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form) certifying under penalty of perjury that such holder is not a United States person as defined under the Code and is eligible for treaty benefits or (b) if Class A Common Stock is held through certain foreign intermediaries, to satisfy the relevant certification requirements of applicable United States Treasury regulations. Special certification and other requirements apply to certain non-U.S. holders that are pass-through entities rather than corporations or individuals.

A non-U.S. holder eligible for a reduced rate of United States federal withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.

#### Disposition of Class A Common Stock
Subject to the discussion of backup withholding and FATCA below, any gain realized by a non-U.S. holder on the sale or other disposition of Class A Common Stock generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax unless:

&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 of the non-U.S. holder);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of that disposition, and certain other conditions are met; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we are or have been a "United States real property holding corporation" for United States federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the sale or other

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
disposition or the period that the non-U.S. holder held the Class A Common Stock and, in the case where Class A Common Stock is considered regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose, the non-U.S. holder has owned, directly or constructively, more than 5% of the Class A Common Stock at any time within such period. There can be no assurance that Class A Common Stock will be treated as regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose.

A non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet point immediately above generally will be subject to tax on the gain derived from the sale or other disposition in the same manner as if the non-U.S. holder were a U.S. holder. In addition, if any non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet point immediately above is a foreign corporation, the gain realized by such non-U.S. holder may be subject to an additional "branch profits tax" at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. An individual non-U.S. holder described in the second bullet point immediately above generally will be subject to a 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) tax on the gain derived from the sale or other disposition, which gain may be offset by certain United States source capital losses even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States, *provided* that the non-U.S. holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses. Non-U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding possible eligibility for benefits under income tax treaties.

Generally, a corporation is a "United States real property holding corporation" if the fair market value of its United States real property interests equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests and its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business (all as determined for United States federal income tax purposes). Although there can be no assurance, we believe we are not and do not anticipate becoming a "United States real property holding corporation" for United States federal income tax purposes. If the third bullet point above applies to a non-U.S. holder and applicable exceptions are not available, gain recognized by such holder on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our Class A Common Stock will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, a buyer of our Class A Common Stock from such holder may (to the extent the publicly traded exemption to such withholding does not apply) be required to withhold U.S. income tax at a rate of 15% of the amount realized upon such disposition. Non-U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of these rules.

#### Additional Withholding Requirements
Under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (such Sections commonly referred to as "FATCA"), a 30% United States federal withholding tax may apply to any dividends on, or gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, Class A Common Stock paid to (i) a "foreign financial institution" (as specifically defined in the Code and whether such foreign financial institution is the beneficial owner or an intermediary) which does not provide sufficient documentation, typically on IRS Form W-8BEN-E, evidencing either (x) an exemption from FATCA, or (y) its compliance (or deemed compliance) with FATCA (which may alternatively be in the form of compliance with an intergovernmental agreement with the United States) in a manner which avoids withholding, or (ii) a "non-financial foreign entity" (as specifically defined in the Code and whether such non-financial foreign entity is the beneficial owner or an intermediary) which does not provide sufficient documentation, typically on IRS Form W-8BEN-E, evidencing either (x) an exemption from FATCA, or (y) adequate information regarding certain substantial United States beneficial owners of such entity (if any). Documentation that holders provide in order to be treated as FATCA compliant may be reported to the IRS and other tax authorities, including information about a holder's identity, its FATCA status, and if applicable, certain of its direct and indirect U.S. owners. If a dividend payment is both subject to withholding under FATCA and subject to the withholding tax discussed above under "*Tax Considerations Applicable to Non-U.S. Holders - Distributions*," the withholding under FATCA may, under certain circumstances, be credited against, and therefore reduce, such other withholding tax. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and a non-U.S. Holder's country of residence may modify the requirements described in this section. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding these rules and whether they may be relevant to your purchase, ownership and disposition of Class A Common Stock.

The withholding obligations under FATCA generally apply to dividends on Class A Common Stock and to the payment of gross proceeds of a sale or other disposition of Class A Common Stock. However, the U.S. Treasury Department has issued proposed regulations that, if finalized in their present form, would eliminate FATCA withholding on gross proceeds of the sale or other disposition of Class A Common Stock (but not on payments of dividends). Taxpayers may rely on the proposed regulations until final regulations are issued or until such proposed regulations are rescinded.

#### Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments of dividends and the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of our shares of Class A Common Stock. Backup withholding may also apply if the holder fails to provide certification of exempt status or a correct U.S. taxpayer identification number and otherwise comply with the applicable backup withholding requirements (including claims to a reduced rate of withholding under a treaty). Generally, a holder will not be subject to backup withholding if it provides a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 certifying no withholding is required or appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a Non-U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against such holder's U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

| **ITEM 15.**<br>| ***Indemnification of Directors and Officers***  |

---

The registrant is incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, (the "DGCL"), authorizes a corporation's board of directors to grant, and authorizes a court to award, indemnity to officers, directors and other corporate agents.

The registrant's amended and restated certificate of incorporation (as amended) and amended and restated by-laws (as amended) contain provisions that limit the liability of the registrant's directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Consequently, the registrant's directors will not be personally liable to the registrant or the registrant's stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any breach of their duty of loyalty to the registrant or the registrant's stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• with respect to directors, unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any transaction from which they derived an improper personal benefit.

Any amendment to, or repeal of, these provisions will not eliminate or reduce the effect of these provisions in respect of any act, omission or claim that occurred or arose prior to that amendment or repeal. If the DGCL is amended to provide for further limitations on the personal liability of directors of corporations, then the personal liability of the registrant's directors will be further limited to the greatest extent permitted by the DGCL.

The registrant's amended and restated certificate of incorporation (as amended) and amended and restated by-laws (as amended) also provide that the registrant will indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he or she is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of the registrant, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the registrant, as a director, officer, incorporator, employee or agent of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity. In addition, the registrant's amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws provide that the registrant must advance expenses incurred by or on behalf of a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, subject to very limited exceptions.

II-1<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Further, the registrant has entered into, and expects to continue to enter into, indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers that may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the DGCL. These indemnification agreements require the registrant, among other things, to indemnify its directors and executive officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service. These indemnification agreements also require the registrant to advance all expenses incurred by the directors and executive officers in investigating or defending any such action, suit or proceeding, subject to certain exceptions. The registrant believes that these agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and executive officers.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions that are included in the registrant's amended and restated certificate of incorporation (as amended) and amended and restated by-laws (as amended) and in indemnification agreements that the Registrant enters into with its directors and executive officers may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against its directors and executive officers for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against the registrant's directors and executive officers even though an action, if successful, might benefit the registrant and other stockholders. Further, a stockholder's investment may be adversely affected to the extent that the registrant pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and executive officers as required by these indemnification provisions. Except as may be disclosed this Registration Statement or the documents incorporated by reference herein, the registrant is not aware of any pending litigation or proceeding involving any person who is or was one of its directors, officers, employees or other agents or is or was serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, for which indemnification is sought, and the registrant is not aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

The registrant's amended and restated by-laws (as amended) provide that the registrant may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL. The registrant has obtained insurance under which, subject to the limitations of the insurance policies, coverage is provided to the registrant's directors and executive officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of fiduciary duty or other wrongful acts as a director or executive officer, including claims relating to public securities matters, and to the registrant with respect to payments that may be made by the registrant to these directors and executive officers pursuant to the registrant's indemnification obligations or otherwise as a matter of law.

---

(a)<br> The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)<br> To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)<br> To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. *Provided, however*, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is a part of the registration statement. 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. 

(3)<br> To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)<br> That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i)<br> If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

(A)<br> Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or 

(5)<br> That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary

II-3<br>

offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: (i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; (iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and (iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(6) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. 

(7)<br> That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933:

(i) the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective; and 

(ii)<br> each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(8) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to BRC Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "***Company***"), in connection with the preparation and filing on the date hereof with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "***Commission***") of a registration statement on Form S-3 (the "***Registration Statement***") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "***Act***"). You have provided us with a draft of the Registration Statement in the form in which it will be filed, which includes a base prospectus (the "***Prospectus***"), which provides that it will be supplemented in the future by one or more supplements to the Prospectus, free writing prospectuses or term sheets (each, a "***Prospectus Supplement***).

The Registration Statement and the Prospectus relate to the proposed issuance and sale from time to time, pursuant to Rule 415 of the rules and regulations promulgated under the Act, of up to $500,000,000 of (i) shares of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "***Class A Common Stock***"), (ii) shares of the Company's preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "***Preferred Stock***"), (iii) subscription rights to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock or Preferred Stock (the "***Subscription Rights***"), (iv) warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock or Preferred Stock (collectively, the "***Warrants***"), which may be issued under warrant agreements (each, a "***Warrant Agreement***"), to be dated on or about the date of the first issuance of the applicable Warrants thereunder, by and between the Company and a warrant agent to be selected by the Company (the "***Warrant Agent***"), and (v) units consisting of any combination of Class A Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Subscription Rights and/or Warrants (collectively, the "***Units***"), which may be issued under unit agreements by and between the Company and a unit agent to be selected by the Company (each, a "***Unit Agreement***"). The Class A Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Subscription Rights, Warrants, and Units are collectively referred to herein as the "***Securities***."

This opinion letter is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issuance of the Securities.

As such counsel and for purposes of our opinions set forth herein, we have examined and relied upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, resolutions, certificates and other instruments of the Company and corporate records furnished to us by the Company, and have reviewed certificates of public officials, statutes, records and such other instruments and documents, and have made such investigations of law as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth in this opinion letter. In such examination and in rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed, without independent investigation or verification: (i) the genuineness of all signatures on all agreements, instruments, corporate records, certificates and other documents submitted to us, (ii) the legal competency, capacity and authority of all persons or entities (other than the Company) executing all agreements, instruments, corporate records, certificates and other documents submitted to us, (iii) the authenticity and completeness of all agreements, instruments, corporate records, certificates and other documents submitted to us as originals, (iv) that all agreements, instruments, corporate records, certificates and other documents submitted to us as certified, electronic, facsimile, conformed, photostatic or other copies conform to the originals thereof, and that such originals are authentic and complete, (v) the due authorization, execution and delivery of all agreements, instruments, corporate records, certificates and other documents by all parties thereto (other than the Company), (vi) that no documents submitted to us have been amended or terminated orally or in writing, except as has been disclosed to us in writing, (vii) that the statements contained in the certificates and comparable documents of public officials, officers and representatives of the Company and other persons on which we have relied for the purposes of this opinion letter are true and correct on and as of the date hereof, (viii) that there has not been and there will not be any change in the good standing status of the Company from that which was reported in the certificate of good standing regarding the Company obtained from the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and (ix) that each of the officers and directors of the Company has properly exercised his or her fiduciary duties. As to all questions of fact material to this opinion letter and as to the materiality of any fact or other matter referred to herein, we have relied (without independent investigation or verification) upon representations and certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives of the Company. Our knowledge of the Company and its legal and other affairs is limited by the scope of our engagement, which scope includes the delivery of this opinion letter. We do not represent the Company with respect to all legal matters or issues. The Company may employ other independent counsel and, to our knowledge, handles certain legal matters and issues without the assistance of independent counsel.

With your consent, we have assumed that (i) the Subscription Rights and any related Subscription Rights agreement, each of the Warrants and any related Warrant Agreement, the Units and any related Unit Agreement, and any purchase, underwriting, sales agreement or similar agreement (collectively, the "***Documents***") will be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York and that the choice of law is legally enforceable, (ii) the Subscription Rights, Subscription Rights agreements, Warrants, Warrant Agreements, Units, and Unit Agreements, will contain all provisions required under the laws of the State of Delaware in respect of contracts for the sale of securities issued by a Delaware corporation, (iii) each of the Documents will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto other than the Company, and (iv) each of the Documents will constitute valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto other than the Company, enforceable against such parties in accordance with their respective terms.

We also have assumed that none of (i) the execution, delivery and performance of any of the Documents, (ii) the terms of any of the Securities to be established after the date hereof, (iii) the issuance or delivery of such Securities, or (iv) the compliance by the Company with the terms of such Securities will (a) violate any applicable law, rule or regulation to which the Company is then subject or the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, as amended or restated from time to time (the "***Certificate of Incorporation***") or its amended and restated by-laws then in effect, (b) result in a breach of or default under any instrument or agreement then binding upon the Company or any of its properties, or (c) violate, or cause the Company not to comply with, any consent, approval, license, authorization, restriction or requirement imposed by, or any filing, recording or registration with, any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company. We have also assumed that upon the issuance of any Class A Common Stock or Securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Class A Common Stock, the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding upon such issuance, conversion or exercise, respectively, will not exceed the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock that the Company is then authorized to issue under the Certificate of Incorporation.

We have further assumed that (i) an appropriate Prospectus Supplement relating to the Securities offered thereby will have been prepared and filed with the Commission in compliance with the Act and will comply with all applicable laws at the time the Securities are offered and issued as contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and such Prospectus Supplement, (ii) the terms of the Securities will conform to the descriptions thereof in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, and any Prospectus Supplement, as applicable, and the corporate action of the Company authorizing the issuance and sale of such Securities, (iii) all Securities will be issued and sold in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Act, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, if applicable, and the securities or blue sky laws of various states and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement, as applicable, and (iv) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, offered pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement, as applicable, or, in the case of Preferred Stock, Subscription Rights, Warrants, and Units, as applicable, represented by, comprising or issuable upon exchange, exercise or conversion of such Securities, does not exceed, at the time of issuance of such Securities, the authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be. We have also assumed that the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto will have become effective under the Act (and such effectiveness shall not have been terminated or rescinded) and comply with all applicable laws at the time the Securities are offered and issued as contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement, as applicable.

(1) There are being registered
hereunder such indeterminate amount of Class A common stock, preferred stock,
warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock, subscription rights to
purchase common stock, preferred stock, units and other securities and units as
may be sold by the Registrant from time to time, which together shall have an
aggregate initial offering price not to exceed $500,000,000. The Registrant
will determine, from time to time, the proposed maximum offering price per unit
in connection with its issuance of the securities the Registrant is registering
under this registration statement. The securities registered also include such
indeterminate number of shares of Class A common stock and preferred stock as
may be issued upon conversion of or exchange for preferred stock that provide
for conversion or exchange, upon exercise of warrants or pursuant to the
antidilution provisions of any such securities. In addition, pursuant to Rule
416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the
shares being registered hereunder include such indeterminate number of shares
of common stock and preferred stock as may be issuable with respect to the
shares being registered hereunder as a result of stock splits, stock dividends
or similar transactions. The proposed maximum
aggregate offering price per unit will be determined from time to time by the Registrant
in connection with the issuance by the Registrant of the securities registered
hereunder and is not specified as to each class of security pursuant to pursuant
to Item 16(b) of Form S-3 under the Securities Act. The proposed
maximum aggregate offering price has been estimated solely for the purpose of
calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(o) under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended.

(2) The Registrant previously registered the offer
and sale of securities having a maximum aggregate offering price of $500,000,000
pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-270727)
initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 18, 2025
(the "Prior Registration Statement") and, in connection therewith, paid a
filing fee of $55,100. Of such securities, an aggregate of $461,500,000 remain
unsold (the "Unsold Securities"). Pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6) under the
Securities Act, the securities registered pursuant to this registration
statement include the Unsold Securities, and the filing fee of $50,857.30 associated
therewith (which amount is based on the filing fee rate in effect at the time
of the filing of the Prior Registration Statement) is hereby carried forward to
be applied to the Unsold Securities and no additional filing fee is due with
respect to such Unsold Securities in connection with the filing of this
registration statement. Pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6), the offering of the Unsold
Securities pursuant to the Prior Registration Statement shall be deemed
terminated as of the date of the effective date of this registration statement.
