company (“Buyer”), for the sale of certain of the Company’s assets that comprise EveryLife, its direct-to-consumer diaper
and baby products brand, for gross proceeds of $5.5 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments. These assets include, but are not
limited to, EveryLife’s inventory, tangible personal property, e-commerce storefronts and digital accounts, customer and subscriber

The closing of the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is expected to occur by September 30, 2026, subject to customary

The foregoing description
of the Purchase Agreement is a summary, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified by reference to the full text of the Purchase
Agreement, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Purchase Agreement is
described herein to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the transaction. The representations, warranties and covenants
contained in the Purchase Agreement were made solely for the purposes of the Purchase Agreement; were made only as of specified dates
and do not reflect subsequent information; were made solely for the benefit of the parties thereto; may be subject to limitations agreed
upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures that modify, qualify and create exceptions to such
representations, warranties and covenants; were made for the purposes of allocating risk between the parties thereto instead of establishing
matters of fact; and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable
to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Purchase Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties
and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties, their affiliates
or their respective businesses. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of representations and warranties may change after
the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

delivery thereof by Seller, Seller’s proposed Allocation is deemed to be mutually agreed and is final and binding on, and non-appealable
by Buyer and Seller. Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any objections within 30 days after the delivery of Buyer’s
objections (if any) or within such longer or shorter time period as Buyer and Seller may mutually agree. If Buyer and Seller are unable
to agree on a final Allocation within the time period specified in the immediately preceding sentence, then Buyer and Seller may file
all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with their own proposed Allocation; provided, however, that Buyer and Seller shall file all Tax
Returns in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. Unless otherwise required by
applicable Law, Buyer and Seller shall file all Tax Returns (including Form 8594, amended Tax Returns, and claims for refund) and

any adjustments to the Tax Consideration pursuant to this Agreement in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule and the final
Allocation (if any).

Buyer, Seller, and their respective Affiliates and agents may deduct and withhold from any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this
Agreement any Tax as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or other applicable
Tax Law; provided, however, that Buyer shall not withhold or reduce any amount from the Purchase Price payable to Seller so long as an
IRS Form W-9 is provided by or on behalf of Seller as required under Section 2.6(d). To the extent that any Taxes are
so withheld or deducted and timely paid over to the proper Governmental Entity, Seller and Buyer shall treat such Taxes for all purposes
of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Buyer shall (a) provide
advance notice to Seller of any withholding or deduction to be made under this Section 2.10, and (b) shall cooperate
with Seller to reduce the amount of any such withholding or deduction and provide Seller with copies of any receipts or other documentation
received from the Governmental Entity to which such amounts were paid or remitted.

ARTICLE 5
COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES
5.1 Conduct
of Business of Seller Pending the Closing. Seller covenants and agrees that, during the period from the date of this Agreement until
the Closing Date, except with the prior written consent of Buyer (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed),
or as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, or as set forth in Section 5.1 of the Disclosure Schedules, or as required
by Law, Seller will (i) conduct the Business in the ordinary course of business, (ii) comply with all Laws and (iii) use
commercially reasonable efforts to (A) preserve its business organization intact, (B) maintain existing relations and goodwill
with customers, suppliers, distributors, creditors, lessors, licensors, licensees, Governmental Entities, employees, agents, consultants,

its present employees, agents, and consultants. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from the date of this Agreement until
the Closing Date, except with the prior written consent of Buyer (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed),
or as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, or as set forth in Section 5.1 of the Disclosure Schedules, or as required
by Law, Seller will not take any action that would be required to be disclosed on Section 3.5 of the Disclosure Schedules
if such action had been taken during the period from the Interim Balance Sheet Date until the date of this Agreement.
5.2 Books
and Records. From and after the Closing, Seller shall provide Buyer and its Affiliates and its and their respective representatives
with reasonable access (on-site or otherwise, at Seller’s sole discretion) during normal business hours, to any and all books and
records related to the Business that do not constitute Records for any reasonable purpose, including but not limited to defending any
claim in respect of which a Notice of Claim has been served on Seller. v.
5.3 Confidentiality;
Announcements.
(a) Buyer
acknowledges that, in the course of its dealings and investigations of the Business, Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective representatives
have and will become aware of confidential information and documents of Seller and its Affiliates, and that their use of such confidential
information and documents, or communication of such information to third parties, could be detrimental to Seller and its Affiliates. For
a period of two years following Closing, any such confidential information known to Buyer or its Affiliates or their respective representatives
with respect to other businesses operated by Seller or any of its Affiliates other than the Business (“Other Businesses”),
Buyer shall maintain in confidence and shall not disclose or use by Buyer or its Affiliates or their respective representatives without
Seller’s prior written consent, unless Buyer can demonstrate that such information is otherwise publicly available through no violation

its or their respective representatives becomes legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents,
subpoena, civil or criminal investigative demands, or similar process) or is required by a regulatory body to make any disclosure that
is prohibited by this Section 5.3, Buyer will provide Seller with prompt notice (to the extent such notice is not prohibited
by Law) of such requirement so that Seller may seek (at Seller’s sole cost and expense) an appropriate protective order or other
appropriate remedy. Subject to the foregoing, Buyer, such Affiliate, or such representative, as applicable, may furnish that portion (and
only that portion) of such information that Buyer, such Affiliate, or such representative, as applicable, is, on the advice of counsel,
legally compelled or is otherwise required to disclose.
29
(b) Seller
shall not, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates and Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, without Buyer’s prior written
consent, use for any purpose or disclose to any third party (other than each other and their respective Representatives) any confidential
or proprietary information concerning the Business, the Purchased Assets, or disclosed to Seller pursuant to the exercise of its rights
under Section 5.1 hereof for a period of three (3) years following the Closing; provided that the foregoing restriction
shall not apply to any information generally available to, or known by, the public (other than as a result of disclosure in violation
of this Section 5.3), independently developed by Seller or any of its Affiliates following the Closing without any reference
to confidential or proprietary information concerning the Business, as can be independently established by the contemporaneous written
records of Seller or such Affiliates, or prohibit any disclosure (x) required by Law so long as, to the extent practicable and legally
permissible, Seller provides Buyer with reasonable prior notice of such disclosure and a reasonable opportunity (at Buyer’s sole
cost and expense) to contest such disclosure or (y) made to a Governmental Entity in connection with the enforcement of any right
or remedy relating to this Agreement, any of the Related Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby.

the Purchase Price), Seller or its Affiliate (as applicable) shall provide all draft releases, statements, or disclosures to Buyer in
advance and shall give due consideration to any reasonable comments by Buyer. Any press release to be made in respect of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement may only be in the form agreed to by Seller and Buyer.

obtain any certificate, including a resale certificate, or other document from any Tax Authority as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce,
or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).
30
(b) Buyer
and Seller shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, to each other, upon written notice, as promptly as practical, such information (including
reasonable access to books and records) and assistance as is reasonably necessary for the filing of any Tax Return, the preparation of
the portion of any financial statement related to Taxes, the conduct of any Tax audit, and for the prosecution or defense of any claim,
suit or proceeding relating to any Tax matter. Buyer and Seller shall reasonably cooperate in the conduct of any Tax audit or other Tax
proceedings, and each shall execute and deliver such documents as are reasonably necessary to carry out the intent of this Section 5.4.
(c) The
Parties hereby waive compliance with the provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer, or similar Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise
be applicable with respect to the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement.

light of the extensive knowledge of the Business possessed by Seller and its Affiliates, and for good and valuable consideration which
the Parties acknowledge, it is mutually agreed that, for the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth anniversary
of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall engage (including through
the provision of management, advisory or technical services or through a joint venture or partnership) in the Restricted Business anywhere
in the world (“Competitive Activities”). During the Restricted Period, Seller will not, and will direct its officers,
employees, agents or stockholders will, not to take any action that would tend to diminish the value of the Purchased Assets after the
Closing or that would interfere with the Business, including disparaging the name of the Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
foregoing covenant will not be deemed breached as a result of the ownership by Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates: (i) of
the stock of a Person engaged, directly or indirectly, in Competitive Activities if owned by an Affiliate of Seller’s in a mutual
fund or exchange-traded fund; or (ii) of no more than ten percent 10% of the equity interests or securities of a Person engaged,
directly or indirectly, in Competitive Activities.
(b) Subject
to Section 5.8(a), during the Restricted Period, Buyer shall not directly or indirectly solicit to hire or hire (i) any
individual who is or, within the twelve months preceding such solicitation or hiring, employed by Seller or any of its Affiliates; provided,
however, that general advertisements appearing in newspapers, periodicals, trade journals or other media of broad circulation, to non-directed
searches conducted by recruiting firms on behalf of such Party shall not be deemed to be a breach of the non-solicitation restrictions
contained in this Section 5.5(b).
(c) Without
limiting the remedies available, damages at law may be an insufficient remedy in the event of breach of this Section 5.5 and
that the injured Party should be entitled to seek injunctive relief or other equitable remedies in the event of any such breach.
(d) If
any of the provisions of this Section 5.5 are held to be unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, as to such jurisdiction,
such provision will be ineffective to the extent of its unenforceability in such jurisdiction, without affecting the remaining provisions
of this Section 5.5 in such jurisdiction, or affecting in any other jurisdiction the validity or enforceability of such provision
or of this Section 5.5.
31
5.6 Further
Assurance; Wrong Pockets; Post-Closing Receipts.
(a) From
time to time following the Closing, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver
all reasonable further conveyances, notices, assumptions, releases and such instruments, and shall take such reasonable actions as may
be necessary or appropriate to make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as may be reasonably requested by the other
Party; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.6(a) shall require either Party or its Affiliates to expend
any money, commence or participate in any Legal Proceedings or incur Liabilities with respect to, or to offer or grant any accommodation
(financial or otherwise) to any third party following the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.6(a) shall
in any way modify or otherwise affect Buyer’s rights to indemnification pursuant to ARTICLE 7.
(b) In
furtherance, and not in limitation, of the foregoing, if after the Closing, (i) either Party or any of their respective Affiliates
discovers that any of the assets that were transferred as of the Closing are not Purchased Assets, then Buyer shall, and shall cause its
Affiliates to (A) immediately cease using such assets and (B) cooperate with Seller to transfer or assign such assets to Seller
(or its designee(s)) as promptly as practicable, with no requirement of additional consideration to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Law, and execute and deliver any amendments or supplements to this Agreement, the Exhibits or the Disclosure Schedules, as applicable,
to transfer such assets to Seller (or its designee(s)) effective as of the Closing Date or (ii) either Party or any of their respective
Affiliates discovers that any of the assets of Seller or its Affiliates as of the Closing that are Purchased Assets were not transferred
to Buyer, then Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to (A) immediately cease using such assets and (B) cooperate with
Buyer to transfer or assign such assets to Buyer (or its designee), as promptly as practicable, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other
than Permitted Encumbrances), with no requirement of additional consideration to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, and execute
and deliver any amendments or supplements to this Agreement, the Exhibits or the Disclosure Schedules, as applicable, to transfer such
assets to Buyer effective as of the Closing Date. The Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to structure any transfer
of assets referred to in the immediately preceding sentence in a manner that minimizes Taxes, costs, and expenses and is equitable from
a legal perspective for the Parties. Each Party’s obligations under this Section 5.6(b) are subject to the receipt
of any consents or permits necessary to carry out the actions contemplated in this Section 5.6(b), and each Party shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such necessary consents or permits.
(c) If,
after the Closing Date, any Party or its Affiliates receives any funds belonging to another Party or its Affiliates in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement or any Related Agreement, the receiving Party will, or, if applicable, will cause such Affiliate to, promptly
advise the other Party or its applicable Affiliate and deliver such funds to the other Party or it applicable Affiliate promptly after
receipt thereof to an account or accounts designated in writing by such other Party or Affiliate.
32
5.7 Customer
and Other Business Relationships. After the Closing, Seller will reasonably cooperate with Buyer’s reasonable requests to continue
and maintain for the benefit of Buyer those business relationships of Seller existing prior to the Closing and relating to the Business,
including relationships with lessors, employees, regulatory authorities, licensors, customers, suppliers, and others, and Seller will
satisfy the Retained Liabilities in a manner that is not detrimental to any of such relationships. Seller will refer to Buyer all inquiries
relating to the Business.
5.8 Continued
Corporate Existence. Seller shall not voluntarily dissolve, wind up, or liquidate its existence prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary
of the Closing Date (the “Survival Period”), whereupon this Section 5.8 shall automatically terminate and
be of no further force or effect. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) Seller shall have the right to dissolve prior
to the expiration of the Survival Period if Seller provides Buyer with no less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice and establishes
a reasonable reserve or obtains a letter of credit, surety bond, or other security reasonably acceptable to Buyer to satisfy any outstanding
or contingent obligations of Seller under this Agreement, and (b) nothing in this Section 5.8 shall require Seller or
any of its Affiliates to maintain any particular level of assets, operations, or employees during the Survival Period beyond what is necessary
to satisfy Seller’s remaining obligations hereunder.
5.9 Notification
of Certain Matters. From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing of (i) the
occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any event that would reasonably be expected to cause any representation or warranty of Seller contained
in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, (ii) any failure of Seller to comply with or satisfy, in any
material respect, any covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, (iii) any fact, circumstance,
event, or action necessitating any amendment or supplement to the Disclosure Schedules, (iv) the commencement, or the threat in writing,
of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, or similar proceeding involving Guarantor, and (v) any fact or circumstance
causing Guarantor to become, or to be reasonably likely to become, “insolvent” (as defined in Section 3.23). Seller shall
promptly deliver to Buyer any such amendment or supplement to the Disclosure Schedules necessitated by such fact, circumstance, event,
or action; provided, however, that no such amendment or supplement shall be deemed to have amended or supplemented the Disclosure Schedules,
or to have qualified the representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE 3, for purposes of determining whether the conditions
set forth in Section 6.1 have been satisfied or whether Buyer is entitled to indemnification under ARTICLE 7.
5.10 Transition
Services. During the period between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to
determine whether the Transition Services Agreement is necessary to facilitate the orderly transition of the Business to Buyer. If the
Parties mutually determine that such transition services are necessary, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and use commercially
reasonable efforts to agree upon the terms of a Transition Services Agreement prior to the Closing Date.

ARTICLE 7
INDEMNIFICATION
7.1 Indemnification
by Seller. Subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE 7, Seller shall indemnify
and hold harmless Buyer against and in respect of any and all Losses incurred directly or indirectly, in connection with, arising from,
or as a result of:
(a) any
breach of the representations or warranties in ARTICLE 3 of this Agreement by Seller;
(b) any
breach, non-fulfillment, or violation of the covenants made in this Agreement by Seller; and
(c) all
Taxes and Tax liabilities of Seller for the Pre-Closing Period;
(d) any
Retained Liabilities and any Excluded Assets.
Any indemnification provided for under this Section 7.1
extends to directors, shareholders, members, managers, officers, and employees (in their capacity as such) of Buyer and each of Buyer’s
Affiliates (in all, the “Buyer Indemnified Persons”).
7.2 Indemnification
by Buyer. Subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE 7, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller against
and in respect of any and all Losses incurred directly or indirectly in connection with, arising from, or as a result of:
(a) Any
breach of the representations or warranties in ARTICLE 4 of this Agreement by Seller;
(b) any
breach, non-fulfillment, or violation of the covenants made in this Agreement by Buyer; and
(c) any
Assumed Liabilities.
Any indemnification provided for under this Section 7.2
extends to directors, shareholders, members, managers, officers, and employees (in their capacity as such) of Seller and each of Seller’s
Affiliates (in all, the “Seller Indemnified Persons”).
7.3 Notice
and Payment of Losses. Upon obtaining knowledge of any Loss other than any claim asserted by a third-party claimant (“Third
Person” and any such claim, a “Third Person Claim”), any Person entitled to indemnification under Section 7.1
or Section 7.2 (the “Injured Party”) shall give prompt written notice to the Party liable for such indemnification
(the “Indemnifying Party”) specifying the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount, to the extent
known, of the claim asserted (such written notice being hereinafter referred to as a “Notice of Claim”). If the Indemnifying
Party disputes such a claim of indemnification, it shall notify the Injured Party thereof within 30 days after receipt of the Notice of
Claim, whereupon the Injured Party and the Indemnifying Party shall meet and attempt in good faith to resolve their differences with respect
to such a claim for indemnification. If the dispute has not been resolved within 30 days after the Parties first meet to attempt such
resolution, either Party may initiate litigation in accordance with this Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party does not dispute the Injured
Party’s claim of indemnification, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of any valid claim within 30 days after receipt of
the Injured Party’s Notice of Claim.
36
7.4 Defense
of Third-Party Claims.
(a) If
an Injured Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder because of a Third Person Claim, the Injured Party shall give a Notice of Claim
to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable after such assertion is actually known to the Injured Party. The Indemnifying Party
shall have the right, upon written notice to the Injured Party, and using counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Injured Party, to investigate,
secure, contest, or settle such Third Person Claim; provided that (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or
direct the defense of any Third Person Claim that (A) relates to any criminal charges, government investigation, or class action
or (B) primarily seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Injured Party; (ii) the Indemnifying Party will not
consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to the matter or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter without the written
consent of the Injured Party (not to be withheld or delayed unreasonably), except that the Indemnifying Party may consent to any judgment
and/or enter into any settlement without the consent of the Injured Party if such judgment or settlement requires only the payment of
money and does not impact or affect the Injured Party or the on-going business or operations of the Injured Party or its Affiliates in
any way; and (iii) the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing to fully indemnify the Injured Party with respect to such Third Person
Claim (without regard to any limitations set forth herein). The Injured Party may thereafter participate in (but not control) the defense
of any such Third Person Claim with its own counsel at its own expense, unless separate representation is necessary to avoid a conflict
of interest, in which case such representation will be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not
to defend the Injured Party with respect to such Third Person Claim, the Injured Party shall have the right, at its option, to assume
and control the defense of the matter. The Indemnifying Party shall give such notice to the Injured Party as promptly as reasonably possible
in view of the necessity to arrange such defense and in no event later than 10 days after receipt of the Notice of Claim, and failure
to provide such notice in such time will be deemed an election not to defend the same. If the Indemnifying Party does not so elect to
indemnify and assume the defense of any such Third Person Claim, (a) the Injured Party may defend against such Third Person Claim,
in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling such Third Person Claim, after giving written notice
of the same to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Injured Party may deem appropriate; provided that in all cases the Injured
Party will not consent to the entry of a judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter without the written consent
of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld or delayed unreasonably), except that the Injured Party may consent to any judgment and/or
enter into any settlement without the consent of the Indemnifying Party if such judgment or settlement requires only the payment of money
and does not impact or affect the Indemnifying Party or the on-going business or operations of the Indemnifying Party or its Affiliates
in any way, and (b) the Indemnifying Party may participate in (but not control) the defense of such action, with its own counsel
at its own expense. The Parties shall make available to each other all relevant information in their possession relating to any such Third
Person Claim and shall cooperate in the defense thereof.
37
(b) Without
limiting the foregoing, if the Injured Party has previously delivered a Notice of Claim to the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying
Party is or was eligible to but has not elected or did not elect to assume control of the defense of such claim, then the Injured Party
shall promptly (i) disclose in writing to the Indemnifying Party any material new or materially changed allegations or claims being
asserted against the Injured Party in respect of such claim, and (ii) upon request of the Indemnifying Party, provide a written summary
of the status of such claim to the Indemnifying Party (all of the information provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such
summary discloses a change that is adverse to the Indemnifying Party, the “New Facts”). Upon notice of New Facts, the
Indemnifying Party shall again have the right, upon written notice to the Injured Party, and using counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the Injured Party, to investigate, secure, contest, or settle the Third Person Claim to which the New Facts relate, subject to the terms
and conditions of Section 7.4(a). The failure of the Indemnifying Party to respond in writing to the New Facts within 30 days
after receipt thereof will be deemed an election not to defend the Third Person Claim to which such New Facts relate.
7.5 Survival
of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties set forth in ARTICLE 3 and ARTICLE 4,
shall survive the Closing Date for a period of 24 months following the Closing Date; provided that the Fundamental Representations shall
survive the Closing for seven years from the Closing Date.
7.6 Limitation
on Indemnification.
(a) Each
Party shall, and it shall cause its Affiliates to, use its or their commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses to be indemnified
under this ARTICLE 7 upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that could reasonably be expected to give rise
to any Losses that may be indemnifiable hereunder. If an Injured Party mitigates its Losses after the Indemnifying Party has paid the
Injured Party under any indemnification provision of this Agreement in respect of such Losses, the Injured Party must promptly notify
the Indemnifying Party and promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party the extent of the value of the benefit to the Injured Party of that
mitigation (less the Injured Party’s reasonable costs of mitigation) within five Business Days after the benefit is received. The
Injured Party shall bear all costs associated with insurance deductibles, retentions, fronting arrangements, retrospective premiums, or
the like.
(b) An
Injured Party’s right to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, respectively, will be reduced
by the amount actually received from a third party (including an insurance company) with respect to the settlement or resolution of a
claim for which Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, was entitled to indemnification hereunder. The Injured Party shall pursue recovery
from such third parties and under all insurance policies available to it. The Injured Party shall remit to the Indemnifying Party any
such insurance or other third-party proceeds that are paid to the Injured Party with respect to Losses for which Buyer has been previously
compensated pursuant to this ARTICLE 7.
(c) In
the event Losses suffered by any Injured Party are recoverable under more than one provision of this Agreement, such Injured Party will
only be permitted to recover with respect to any particular Losses suffered by it one time as it is the Parties’ intent that once
a particular Injured Party has recovered any particular Losses under one provision, such Losses no longer exist with respect to such Injured
Party and, therefore, recovery by such particular Injured Party for such same Losses under another provision would constitute an unintended
and prohibited “double” recovery.
38
(d) Cap
Amounts.
(i) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement or any Related Agreement, the aggregate cumulative liability of Seller and each of its Affiliates,
officers, managers, members, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors, and permitted assigns (collectively, “Seller
Indemnifying Parties”) for all Losses for which any Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE 7,
including under Section 7.1(a), shall not exceed the Aggregate Cap Amount. Other than Losses resulting from inaccuracies of
any Fundamental Representations, the aggregate cumulative liability for the Seller Indemnifying Parties under Section 7.1(a) shall
not exceed $1,000,000.
(ii) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement or any Related Agreement, the aggregate cumulative liability of Buyer and each of its Affiliates,
officers, managers, members, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors, and permitted assigns (collectively, “Buyer
Indemnifying Parties”) for all Losses for which any Seller Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE 7
shall not exceed the Aggregate Cap Amount. Other than Losses resulting from inaccuracies of any of the representations of Buyer contained
in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4, the aggregate cumulative liability for the Buyer Indemnifying Parties
under Section 7.2(a) shall not exceed $500,000.
(iii) The
caps set forth in Sections 7.6(d)(i) and 7.6(d)(ii) are independent and shall not be cross-reduced or aggregated.
Indemnification payments made by one party to the other shall not reduce the cap available to the other party or give rise to any setoff,
credit, or countervailing adjustment under this Section 7.6(d).
(iv) “Aggregate
Cap Amount” means the total Purchase Price actually paid or delivered to Seller at or following the Closing.
(v) Carve-Outs
from Aggregate Cap Amount. The limitations set forth in Section 7.6(d) shall not apply to, and the Aggregate Cap
Amount shall not limit the liability of either party with respect to:
(1) Fraud.
Any Losses arising directly and proximately from the Fraud of such party or any of its Representatives; provided that, for purposes of
this Agreement: “Fraud” means an actual, intentional, and knowing misrepresentation of a material fact, made in writing
in ARTICLES 3 or 4 of this Agreement with the actual knowledge (and not constructive knowledge or reckless disregard) of
the Person making such representation that it was false at the time made, and made with the specific intent to deceive the other party
and to induce such party to enter into this Agreement or to consummate the Closing; “Fraud” expressly excludes: (A) negligent
misrepresentation; (B) equitable fraud; (C) constructive fraud; (D) negligence, mistake, or inadvertence; and (E) any
claim that does not satisfy each element of common law fraud under Delaware law as articulated by the courts of the State of Delaware.
The Fraud carve-out in this Section 7.6(d)(v)(1) applies only to claims where the acts constituting Fraud were committed
by the party against whom indemnification is sought, and not by agents, contractors, or representatives acting outside the scope of their
authority; and for the avoidance of doubt, no claim under this Section 7.6(d)(v)(1) shall be brought solely by recharacterizing
a claim that would otherwise constitute a breach of a representation, warranty, or covenant as a fraudulent inducement or equitable fraud
claim for the purpose of evading the limitations set forth in this Section 7.6(d)(v).
39
(2) Post-Closing
Covenants. Any Losses arising from any failure to perform any covenant, obligation, or agreement expressly required to be performed
after the Closing Date, including obligations relating to confidentiality, non-solicitation, non-competition, employee matters, and transition
services.
(e) Deductible.
Other than for Losses resulting from claims brought on the basis of Fraud or willful breach, no Buyer Indemnified Parties nor Seller Indemnified
Party (as applicable, an “Indemnified Party”) shall be entitled to indemnification for any Loss under Sections 7.1(a) or
7.2(a), as applicable (other than Losses as a result of inaccuracies of any Fundamental Representations or any of the representations
of Buyer contained in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4), unless and until the aggregate amount of such Losses
suffered, sustained or incurred by all of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, collectively, under Sections 7.1(a) or all of the
Seller Indemnified Parties, collectively, under Sections 7.2(a), as applicable, that would otherwise be indemnifiable exceeds $50,000
(the “Deductible”), at which point the obligation to provide indemnification to the applicable Indemnified Party shall
be for amounts in excess of the Deductible.
(f) No
Duplication of Recovery. In no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to recover duplicative Losses from the Indemnifying Party
arising from the same underlying facts, events, circumstances, or conditions, regardless of the number of separate representations, warranties,
covenants, or theories of recovery asserted in connection therewith. Where the same Loss gives rise to an indemnification right under
more than one provision of this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall elect, in its sole discretion, which provision to proceed under,
and shall not recover the same Loss under more than one provision.
7.7 Characterization
and Calculation of Indemnity Payments. Any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be considered, to the extent
permissible under Law, as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes. Payment of all Losses agreed to by an Indemnifying Party
or adjudicated (in a final, non-appealable Order) to be payable pursuant to this ARTICLE 7 will be satisfied by wire transfer
of immediately available funds made, within thirty (30) days of the date that the Loss is agreed to or adjudicated (in a final, non-appealable
Order) to be owed, from the Indemnifying Party to the Injured Party. Payment against Losses that are not made within the time periods
required by this Section 7.7 will accrue interest, commencing on the first day such payment is delinquent and continuing up
to and including the date such payment is made at a rate of 8%, or the highest rate permitted by applicable Law, if lower, calculated
daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed.
40
7.8 Exclusive
Remedy. The remedies set forth in this ARTICLE 7 shall provide the exclusive remedy for breach of any covenant, agreement,
representation, or warranty set forth in this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, other than (i) claims based on
Fraud, (ii) claims related to the Related Agreements, and (iii) claims for specific performance. The Parties may not avoid the
limitations on liability set forth in this ARTICLE 7 by seeking damages for breach of contract, tort, or pursuant to any other
theory or liability.
7.9 Determination
of Losses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for purposes of the indemnification provisions in this ARTICLE 7,
the determination of (i) whether any representation warranty or covenant has been breached (other than Section 3.5(a))
and (ii) the amount of any losses, will be made without giving effect to the terms “material,” “materiality,”
“in all material respects,” “Material Adverse Effect,” or any similar qualification as to materiality contained
in the representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements herein.
ARTICLE 8
TERMINATION
8.1 Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:
(a) by
Buyer, if Seller has breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants, or other agreements contained in
this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would, or would reasonably be expected to, give rise to a failure of a condition
set forth in Section 6.1 and (ii) is either incapable of being cured or is not cured within thirty (30) days after Seller
has received written notice thereof from Buyer; provided, however, that Buyer will not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant
to this Section 8.1(a) if Buyer is then in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement contained in
this Agreement;
(b) by
Seller, if Buyer has breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants, or other agreements contained in
this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.2
and (ii) is either incapable of being cured or is not cured within thirty (30) days after Buyer has received written notice thereof
from Seller; provided, however, that Seller will not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) if
Seller is then in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement contained in this Agreement;
(c) by
Buyer or Seller if the Closing will not have occurred within sixty (60) days following the Effective Date (“Outside Date”);
provided, however, that Buyer or Seller may terminate this Agreement under this subsection only if the Closing will not have occurred
on or prior to the Outside Date, provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) shall
not be available to any party whose breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement set forth in this Agreement has been
the principal cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date; or
(d) by
mutual written agreement of Buyer and Seller.
41
8.2 Effect
of Termination. Except as expressly provided in this Section 8.2, if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1,
this Agreement will become void and of no further force or effect without Liability of any Party (or any stockholder, director, officer,
employee, agent, consultant or representative of such Party) to the other Party hereto except for obligations or liabilities arising from
a breach of this Agreement, or Fraud in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, prior to the termination or that survive
the termination by their own terms, including the provisions under this ARTICLE 8. This Section 8.2 and ARTICLE 9
will survive any termination hereof pursuant to Section 8.1.
ARTICLE 9

agreement and understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements

or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him
or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party” and under Section 28-1-1602
of the Montana Code Annotated, which provides “[a] general release does not extend to claims that the creditor does not know or
suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known must have materially affected his or her settlement

Exhibit 99.1
PSQ Holdings
Announces Agreement to Sell EveryLife for $5.5 Million in Cash
The pending all-cash
divestiture is expected to deliver non-dilutive capital and advance the Company's exit from direct-to-consumer commerce as it sharpens
its focus as a payments and financial infrastructure company
BOZEMAN,
Mont.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- PSQ Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PSQH) ("PSQH" or the "Company")
announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell EveryLife, its direct-to-consumer diaper and baby products brand,
to FreeHold Brands, LLC, for gross proceeds of $5.5 million in cash, before transaction fees and customary adjustments. The transaction
is expected to close by September 30, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
The Company has reported EveryLife as
discontinued operations since the third quarter of 2025, reflecting the Company's previously stated intention to divest non-core assets
as it concentrates on its core payments and financial infrastructure businesses.
"We are a payments and financial
infrastructure company. The signing of this agreement marks an important step in our plan to keep our focus on the core fintech business
while monetizing an asset that is no longer central to our long-term goals,” commented Dusty Wunderlich, Chairman and CEO of PSQ
Holdings. “EveryLife is a good business, with a real mission, and people who care deeply about combining the two. EveryLife belongs
with an owner whose company is built for maximizing both. We believe that after closing, FreeHold Brands can provide that home. For our
shareholders, this transaction is simple: non-dilutive cash on the balance sheet, less cost, and undivided attention on our core fintech
offerings: credit and payments."
Transaction Highlights
The completion of the sale would deliver
non-dilutive cash to the Company's balance sheet, further strengthening its capital position without issuing equity. It would also complete
the Company’s divestiture of its direct-to-consumer products division. This continues streamlining an already lean, highly capable
organization built around, and now exclusively focusing on, a core fintech business providing a singular payments and consumer financing
platform for highly regulated industries. Because EveryLife has been classified within discontinued operations, the transaction is expected
to have no impact on the Company's continuing operations.
FullSend Partners acted as financial
advisor to the Company in connection with the transaction.
About PSQ Holdings, Inc.
PSQ Holdings (NYSE: PSQH) is a payments
and financial infrastructure company. We build and operate financial infrastructure in highly regulated environments for industries underserved
by traditional financial institutions, including businesses, campaigns, and nonprofits that depend on reliable, compliant payment solutions.
