WPS Prime Letter of Intent
On February 6, 2018, tZERO entered into a Letter of Intent (the "WPS LOI") with Weeden Prime Services, LLC ("WPS"), a U.S. registered
broker-dealer. The WPS LOI contemplates that tZERO will acquire 51% of the outstanding membership interests of WPS for $11.0 million in
cash with a subsequent purchase, prior to the first anniversary of the initial purchase, of an additional 30% of the aggregate membership
interests of WPS for an additional $7.0 million in cash. Following the subsequent purchase, tZERO will own 81% of the then-outstanding
membership units of WPS. The WPS LOI contemplates that the existing members of WPS shall retain certain minority investor rights,
including with respect to representation on the board of managers of WPS (proportionate to ownership) and customary drag-along and tag-
along rights and anti-dilution protections. The WPS LOI also contemplates that any time following the first anniversary of the second closing,
tZERO may, with 60-days' written notice, acquire all (but not less than all) of the outstanding membership units of WPS not then owned by
tZERO at fair market value. tZERO expects the transaction to close during third quarter of 2018, subject to the execution of definitive
documentation, any applicable regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
