You should consult your own counsel and tax and financial advisors as to legal and related matters concerning the matters described herein, and, by accepting this Presentation, you confirm that you are not relying upon the information contained herein make any decision. The general explanations included in this Presentation cannot address, and are not intended to address, your specific investment objectives, financial situations or financial needs. Presentation of Financial Information This Presentation includes preliminary unaudited financial results of Topps for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021. Topps' audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 2, 2021 are not yet available. Preliminary unaudited financial results are subject to change, and Topps undertakes no obligation to update this information. These preliminary unaudited financial results may differ from actual results. Actual results remain subject to the completion of management's and the audit committee's final review, as well as the year-end audit. During the course of the preparation of the financial statements and related notes and the year-end audit, additional items that require material adjustments to the preliminary unaudited financial information included in this Presentation below may be identified. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance upon these preliminary unaudited financial results. Topps' independent registered public accounting firm, BDO USA, LLP ("BDO"), has not completed its audit, review and procedures with respect to this preliminary unaudited financial information and, accordingly, BDO does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. The pro forma financial information and data contained in this Presentation is unaudited and does not conform to Article 11 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Accordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in, the proxy statement for the Business Combination. Use of Data This Presentation contains information derived from third party sources, including research, surveys or studies conducted by third parties, information provided by customers and/or industry or general publications. While we believe that such third-party information is reliable, neither MUDS nor Topps have independently verified, and neither MUDS nor Topps makes any representation as to the accuracy of, such third party information. Use of Trademarks and Other Intellectual Property All registered or unregistered service marks, trademarks and trade names referred to in this Presentation are the property of their respective owners, and the use herein does not imply an affiliation with, or endorsement by, the owners of these service marks, trademarks and trade names. Third-party logos included herein may represent license partners or customers or may be provided simply for illustrative purposes only. Inclusion of such logos does not necessarily imply affiliation with or endorsement by such businesses. There is no guarantee that either MUDS or Topps will work, or continue to work, with any of the businesses whose logos are included herein in the future. Use of Projections This Presentation contains financial forecasts or projections (collectively "Projections") prepared by Topps. Topps' independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the Projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this Presentation, and accordingly, neither MUDS nor Topps expresses an opinion or provides any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Presentation. These Projections should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. The Projections presented herein are provided solely for illustrative purposes, reflect the current beliefs of Topps as of the date hereof, and are based on a variety of assumptions and estimates about, among others, future operating results, market conditions, any transaction costs, all of which may differ from the assumptions on which the Projections herein are based. Topps does not assume any obligation to update the Projections or information, data, models, facts or assumptions underlying the Projections in this Presentation. See "Cautionary Language Regarding Forward-Looking Statements." Non-GAAP Financial Measures This Presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, that are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Please see slide 34 for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most closely comparable GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. To the extent that forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are provided, they are presented on a non-GAAP basis without reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. MUDS and Topps believe these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Topps' financial condition and results of operations. MUDS and Topps believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends. Topps' method of determining these non-GAAP measures may be different from other companies' methods and, therefore, may not be comparable to those used by other companies and Topps does not recommend the sole use of these non-GAAP measures to assess its financial performance.

We have identified the following risks and uncertainties that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or reputation. The risks described below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are not material may also significantly affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or reputation. Our business could be harmed by any of these risks. In making your decision to invest in the Company, you have relied solely upon independent investigation made by you. You acknowledge that you are not relying upon, and have not relied upon, any of the following summary of risks or any other statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation, other than the statements, representations and warranties of the Company explicitly contained in any subscription agreement you enter into in connection with an investment in the Company or any Investor Presentation prepared in connection with such investment. You have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company, and you have sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as you have considered necessary to make an informed investment decision. The list below is qualified in its entirety by disclosures contained in future filings by the Company, or by third parties (including Mudrick Capital Acquisition Corporation II) with respect to the Company, with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). All information provided in this summary of risks is as of the date hereof and the Company undertakes no duty to update this information except as required by law. The risks highlighted in future filings with the SEC may differ significantly from and will be more extensive than those presented below. The COVID-19 pandemic has had and may continue to have, and other public health crises or epidemics could in the future have, a material adverse impact on our business, operations, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. Reductions in discretionary consumer spending, including as a result of global and regional economic downturns, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 3. If we do not effectively maintain and further develop our relationships with retail customers and distributors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. If our distributors fail to promote our products and services actively and effectively, or if they implement operational decisions that are inconsistent with our interests, our future growth and results of operations may suffer. We depend upon third-party manufacturers, and if our relationship with any of them is harmed or if they encounter difficulties in their manufacturing processes, we could experience product defects, production delays, unplanned costs or higher product costs, or the inability to fulfill orders on a timely basis, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Damage to our reputation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 1. 2. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Our business depends in large part on our vendors and outsourcers, and our ability to effectively operate our business, as well as our reputation, may be harmed by actions taken by these third parties outside of our control. Our operating results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year due to the seasonality of our business and the timing of new product releases. We are subject to risks from un anticipated business disruptions. Our success is critically dependent on the efforts and dedication of our officers and other employees, and the loss of one or more key employees, or our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel could adversely affect our business. 10. Our decision to accept and hold cryptocurrency, such as bitcoin, may subject us to exchange risk and additional tax and regulatory requirements. 11. We may fail to adequately anticipate the commercialization of emerging technologies, such as blockchain, obtain rights to use licensed properties in blockchain, and the development of new markets and applications for our technology, and thereby fail to take advantage of new market opportunities or fall behind early movers in those markets. 12. The legal and regulatory environment relating to data privacy continues to develop and evolve in ways we cannot predict, including with respect to technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. 13. A failure to comply with laws and regulations relating to privacy and the protection of data relating to individuals and certain audiences may result in negative publicity, claims, investigations and litigation, and adversely affect our financial performance. 14. We operate in a highly and increasingly regulated environment, and failure by us or the businesses that participate in our distribution network to comply with applicable laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 15. We could be subject to future product liability suits or product recalls which could have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 16. Our Confections business is subject to local, national and multinational regulations related to labeling, health and nutrient claims, packaging, pricing, marketing and advertising and other related areas. 17. Our success and ability to maintain and grow our business depend on our ability to execute our business strategy, along with a number of factors which are outside of our control. 18. Our business is largely dependent on content development and creation by third parties. 19. The growth of our Digital Sports & Entertainment business will depend on our ability to attract and retain users, and the loss of our users, failure to attract new users in a cost-effective manner, or failure to effectively manage our growth could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. 20. We cannot assure you that we will be able to design and develop products that will be popular with consumers, or that we will be able to maintain the popularity of successful products. A sustained decline in the popularity of certain types of collectibles and a resulting decrease in demand for our products could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. 21. We are dependent on autographs and relics for our products and any disruption in supply could adversely affect the demand for our products and our operating results. 22. If the mobile applications market fails to grow or is disrupted by new technologies, and we are not able to appropriately adapt our business, our business will suffer. 35 23. Changes in the retail industry and hobby industry and markets for consumer products affecting our retail and hobby customers of our Physical Sports & Entertainment business could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. topps#37Risk Factors (cont.) 24. We must continue to offer new and innovative confectionery products that meet our consumer's expectations. An inability to develop and introduce confectionery products in a timely and cost-effective manner may damage our business. 25. Obesity and other health-related concerns may reduce demand for our Confectionery products 26. Our industry is intensely competitive and subject to rapid changes, including technological changes, which may materially and adversely affect our revenues and profitability. If we are unable to compete effectively with existing or new competitors, our sales, market share and profitability could decline. 27. Our closed loop and open loop Gift Card business could suffer if there is a decline in the attractiveness of Gift Cards to consumers. 28. Our businesses are subject to risks associated with doing business outside of the United States. 29. Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions. Any such breach could compromise our networks and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. 30. Systems failures and resulting interruptions in the availability of our Digital Sports & Entertainment applications, Gift Cards or platform could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. 31. We may not realize the full benefit of our licenses if the licensed material has less market appeal than expected, or if revenue from the licensed property is not sufficient to earn out the minimum guaranteed royalties. 32. Our current licenses require us to pay minimum royalties. 33. Our business is highly dependent upon our license agreements with third parties. 34. A limited number of licensors account for a large portion of our net sales. 35. New licenses can be difficult and expensive to obtain and, in some cases, retain. 36. We are dependent on the timely approval of content from our licensors, and some of our licenses are restricted as to use and include other restrictive provisions. 37. If we or our licensors are unable to obtain, maintain and protect our intellectual property rights, in particular trademarks and copyrights, our ability to compete could be negatively impacted. 38. Failure to adequately protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, know-how, proprietary applications, business processes and other proprietary information could adversely affect the value of our technology and products. 39. Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health and competitive position. 40. The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources and distract our management, which could make it difficult to manage our business. 41. We will incur increased costs and obligations because of being a public company. 42. If we fail to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or report them in a timely manner. 43. Our management team has limited experience managing a public company. 44. Upon completion of the business combination, we may be a "controlled company" within the meaning of the rules of the NASDAQ, and, as a result, we may qualify for, and rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. If we do qualify for and rely on these exemptions, you will not have the same protections as those afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such governance requirements. 45. As an "emerging growth company," we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to "emerging growth companies" will make our common stock less attractive to investors. 46. Provisions in our charter and Delaware law may inhibit a takeover of us, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for our common stock and could entrench management. 47. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide, subject to limited exceptions, that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation matters, which could limit stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or stockholders. 48. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will renounce any interest or expectancy that we have in certain corporate opportunities that may be presented to our officers, directors or stockholders or their respective affiliates, other than those officers, directors, stockholders or affiliates who are our or our subsidiaries' employees. As a result, these persons will not be required to offer certain business opportunities to us and may engage in business activities that compete with us. 49. We may issue additional common stock or other equity securities without your approval, which would dilute your ownership interests and may depress the market price of our common stock. 50. Our ability to meet expectations and projections in any research or reports published by securities or industry analysts, or a lack of coverage by securities or industry analysts, could result in a depressed market price and limited liquidity for our common stock. 36 LOPPS
