SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or future financial or operating performance and include all statements that are not historical facts such as information concerning the strategic alternatives considered by our Board of Directors, including the decisions taken thereto and alternatives for the use of the Post-Closing Cash (as defined herein), our possible or assumed future results of operations and expenses, management strategies and plans, competitive position, business environment, potential growth strategies and opportunities and our continued listing on Nasdaq. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terms such as “anticipates,” "assumption," “believes,” "continue," “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “foresees,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “goals,” "judgment," “may,” “might,” “outlook,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “targets,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Those risks include those described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The inclusion of forward-looking information should not be regarded as a representation by us, our management or any other person that the future plans, estimates, or expectations contemplated by us will be achieved. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject, including, but not limited to, statements regarding the strategic alternatives considered by our Board of Directors, including the decisions taken thereto; future financial performance; our future liquidity and operating expenditures; financial condition and results of operations; competitive changes in the marketplace; the outcome of ongoing litigation; our expected tax rate; the effect of changes in or the application of new or revised tax laws; the effect of new accounting pronouncements; and other characterizations of future events or circumstances. These statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. While we believe such information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, such information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.
The forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, or investments.
You should read this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the documents that we reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and have filed with the SEC as exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 10-K with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance, and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.

PART I
Item 1. Business.
Overview
Prior to the Asset Sale (as defined below), ContextLogic Inc (the "Company", "ContextLogic", "we" or "us") owned a global e-commerce platform known as "Wish" that connected millions of value-conscious consumers to hundreds of thousands of merchants globally. Wish combined technology and data science capabilities and an innovative discovery-based mobile shopping experience to create a highly-visual, entertaining, personalized, and discovery-based shopping experience for its users. Wish users engaged with the app in a similar manner to how they engage with social media, which is scrolling through visually-rich and interactive content. Wish provided its merchants with immediate access to its global base of monthly active users and a comprehensive suite of merchant services, including demand generation and engagement, data intelligence, promotional and logistics capabilities, integration partnerships, as well as business operations support, all in a cost-efficient manner. The scale of Wish's user base and active global merchants means it accumulated significant data across user and merchant activities, which strengthened its data advantage, and created an even better experience for everyone on the platform, which in turn could attract more users and merchants. This flywheel effect had driven tremendous value to both users and merchants and has made Wish one of the largest e-commerce marketplaces in the world.
Since the Asset Sale was consummated and as we pursue strategic opportunities, our primary source of income is interest earned on our marketable securities and cash and cash equivalents. Although our Board of Directors is evaluating various strategic alternatives regarding the use of the proceeds from the Asset Sale with a goal to maximize stockholder value, we have not yet identified any particular acquisitions or investments or committed to making any such decision by a particular date. We can provide no assurance that our Board of Directors and management will be able to attract the businesses we identify as viable for our objectives, due to competitive forces in the marketplace beyond our control, or consummate strategic transactions, including the acquisition of assets or a business, on terms and conditions that we believe will be in the best interests of ContextLogic and its stockholders. The Company is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“ICA”), and is not required to register as an investment company under the ICA.
Asset Sale
On February 10, 2024, we entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Qoo10 Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Qoo10 Delaware”), and, for certain specified purposes, Qoo10 Pte. Ltd., a Singapore private limited company and Qoo10 Delaware’s parent company (“Qoo10”), pursuant to which (i) we agreed to sell substantially all of our assets to Qoo10 Delaware or an affiliate designated by Qoo10 Delaware (such designated affiliate, the “Buyer”), other than (A) our net operating losses (“NOLs”) and certain other tax attributes, (B) our marketable securities and (C) certain of our cash and cash equivalents, and (ii) Qoo10 agreed to acquire those assets and assume substantially all of our liabilities as specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Sale”). On April 18, 2024, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock voted to approve the Asset Sale. Pursuant to such vote and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, the Asset Sale closed on April 19, 2024, and immediately following the closing of the Asset Sale, we received/retained approximately $162 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities (consisting of government securities)(the "Post-Closing Cash"), as well as the NOLs and other tax attributes described herein.
Following the completion of the Asset Sale, we have exited the operation of our marketplace and logistics business and other historical operations. However, we do not currently intend to liquidate. We are actively developing processes and procedures for evaluating strategic alternatives for the use of our Post-Closing Cash and reviewing, identifying and executing those strategic opportunities for the benefit of ContextLogic and its stockholders. Those alternatives are currently expected to include using the Post-Closing Cash to fund, at least in part, the acquisition of assets or a business.
Government Regulations
Prior to the Asset Sale, as with any company operating on the Internet, during the first four months of 2024, we were subject to a growing number of local, national and international laws and regulations. These laws are often complex, sometimes contradict other laws, and are frequently still evolving. Laws may be interpreted and enforced in different ways in various locations around the world, posing a significant challenge to our global business. For example, U.S. federal and state laws, European Union Directives and Regulations, and other national laws govern the processing of payments, consumer protection and the privacy of consumer information; other laws define and regulate unfair and deceptive trade practices. Still other laws dictate when and how sales or other taxes must be collected.
3
Legal Proceedings
We are currently involved in, and may in the future be involved in, actual and threatened legal proceedings, claims, investigations and government inquiries arising in the ordinary course of our business, including legal proceedings, claims, investigations and government inquiries involving intellectual property, data privacy and data protection, torts, consumer protection, securities, employment, contractual rights or false or misleading advertising. We are also regularly subject to proceedings, claims, investigations and government inquiries seeking to hold us liable for the actions of merchants on our platform.
Although the results of the actual and threatened legal proceedings, claims, investigations and government inquiries in which we currently are involved cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that the final outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business or financial results. Regardless of the final outcome, however, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, harm to our reputation and brand, and other factors.
See Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” for further discussion of risks related to legal proceedings. See also, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies, “Legal Contingencies and Proceedings,” for further discussion of current litigation.
Human Capital
We are continually investing in the engagement and retention of our workforce by creating a diverse and inclusive workplace, providing market-competitive benefits to support our employees’ health and well-being, and fostering an environment of learning and growth in support of employee development.
In 2024, following the Asset Sale, substantially all of our employees became employees of the Buyer further reducing our workforce by approximately 400 employees. As of December 31, 2024, we had a total of 8 employees, each of which was full-time, located in the U.S and reflective of various cultures, backgrounds and ethnicities. We also engage temporary employees and consultants as needed to support our operations.
None of our employees in the U.S. are represented by a labor union or subject to a collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages, and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.
Fostering Organizational Diversity
ContextLogic is committed to organizational diversity in all areas of our workforce and will continue to pursue meaningful diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. As of December 31, 2024, our employee base was 50% male and 50% female, and our Board of Directors was 80% male and 20% female.
Promoting an Inclusive Workplace
In addition to fostering diversity in all categories and across all levels of our organization, we are committed to creating and maintaining an inclusive workplace free from discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, color, citizenship, religion, creed, national origin, ancestry, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability, medical condition, or any other status protected by applicable law.
As a part of this effort, we deploy a variety of different tools to ensure a welcoming workplace for employees and business partners of all backgrounds. We have established robust policies that are clearly communicated and routinely reinforced so that management and employees alike are expected to exhibit and promote honest, ethical, and respectful conduct in the workplace. Our Company code of conduct prohibits discrimination and harassment in the workplace, and we promote recognition and celebration of various ethnic, religious, and cultural awareness holidays and other observances.
We have also established various training programs to promote a welcoming workplace, including annual training for employees and managers relating to ethics and conduct, as well as training to counteract bias and harassment in the workplace.
Employee Development and Training
Our employees are critical to the success of our company and we strive to create a supportive environment where all can contribute, learn, and grow in their careers. We prioritize employee development and training, and seek to foster both formal and informal learning opportunities inside and outside of the Company.
4
We provide an annual professional development stipend, which employees and managers can use for reimbursement of professional development expenses including seminars, courses, books, and training programs. We believe our investment in employee development has a direct impact on employee growth, engagement, and retention and is critical to our Company’s success.
Employee Benefits and Retention Strategies
We provide employees competitive benefits and additional perks to support the health and well-being of all. We offer an array of healthcare, financial, and wellness benefits, to employees and their dependents at no cost to employees. Employees can choose from three medical plan offerings from one healthcare provider, including supplemental health voluntary coverage that fits the needs of our employees and their families. Our wellness services include access to services from various providers. We provide an annual allotment to employees to access these services and annual education reimbursements for career development. We support our employees in taking time off as they need and offer a competitive leave policy.
Flexibility and Decentralization
In 2022, we made a decision to shift towards a primarily remote working environment in which most employees had the option to work from home. In 2025, we expect to continue to embrace this primarily remote working environment.
We believe the above working policy will unlock further opportunities to source, connect, hire, and retain talent in more locations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
RISK FACTORS
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to purchase shares of our common stock, you should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, our consolidated financial statements and related notes, and all of the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that affect our business. These risk factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and the market price of our common stock could decline. These risk factors do not identify all risks that we face – our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations. Due to risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, our past financial results may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods.
Risks Related to Our Business
Since the Asset Sale, we have had no material operations and no material sources of operating revenue, which may negatively impact the value and liquidity of our common stock.
Since the closing of the Asset Sale, we have not had any revenue generated through operations. Until we deploy the Post-Closing Cash in a strategic acquisition for a revenue generating business, we will have no material sources of operating revenue other than interest income on our marketable securities and cash and cash equivalents. Although the strategic alternatives under evaluation by our Board of Directors for the use of the Post-Closing Cash include funding, at least in part, the acquisition of businesses or assets, there can be no guarantee that suitable assets will be available for us to purchase or that any assets acquired will generate the revenues anticipated or any revenue at all. A failure by us to secure additional sources of revenue could negatively impact the value and liquidity of our common stock.
If we are deemed to be an investment company under the ICA, our results of operations could be harmed.
Under Sections 3(a)(1)(A) and (C) of the ICA, a company generally will be deemed to be an “investment company” for purposes of the ICA if (i) it is, or holds itself out as being, engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities or (ii) it engages, or proposes to engage, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding, or trading in securities and it owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. If we were obligated to register as an “investment company,” we would have to comply with a variety of substantive requirements under the ICA that impose, among other things, limitations on capital structure, restrictions on specified investments, prohibitions on transactions with affiliates, and compliance with reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy disclosure and other rules and regulations that would increase our operating and compliance costs, could make it impractical for us to continue our business as contemplated, and would have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
We continue to incur the expense of complying with public company reporting requirements following the closing of the Asset Sale.
Since the Asset Sale was consummated, we have continued, and will continue, to be required to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and such compliance with such reporting requirements is economically burdensome and requires our management’s time and attention.
As a public company, we incur substantial legal, accounting, and other expenses. For example, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC.
In addition, as a public company, our management and other key personnel must divert attention from other business matters to devote substantial time to the reporting and other requirements of being a public company. In particular, we incur significant expense and devote substantial management effort to complying with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
As a result of our obligations as a public company, we may be subject to threatened or actual litigation, including by stockholders and competitors. If such claims are successful, our business and operating results could be adversely affected, and even if the claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in our favor, these claims, and the time and resources
6
necessary to resolve them, could divert the resources of our management and adversely affect our business and operating results.
We have been, and may in the future be, involved in litigation matters or other legal proceedings that are expensive and time consuming.
We have been, and may in the future be, involved in litigation matters, including class action lawsuits. Any lawsuit to which we are a party, with or without merit, may result in an unfavorable judgment. We also may decide to settle lawsuits on unfavorable terms. Any such negative outcome could result in payments of substantial damages or fines, damage to our reputation, loss of rights, or adverse changes to our offerings or business practices. Any of these results could adversely affect our business. In addition, defending claims is costly and can impose a significant burden on our management.
Additionally, the market price of our common stock has been and may continue to be volatile. As a result, we have been named in lawsuits, and may be subject to both ongoing litigation and other requests related to our stock price/performance and/or performance and independence of our Board of Directors.
We are currently party to three putative class action lawsuits that were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company, its directors, certain of its officers and the underwriters named in its initial public offering (“IPO”) registration statement alleging violations of securities laws based on statements made in its registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC in connection with its IPO and seeking monetary damages and that have been coordinated and consolidated (the “IPO Case”). In May 2022, the Court appointed lead plaintiffs, who subsequently filed an amended consolidated class action complaint pursuant to Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and in April 2023, the plaintiffs filed a first amended consolidated class action complaint and asserted only claims made under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act. The Court dismissed this complaint in December 2023 with leave to amend. In February 2024, the plaintiffs filed a second amended consolidated class action complaint, which Defendants have moved to dismiss. In August 2024, the Court granted the motion to dismiss without leave to amend and with prejudice. In September 2024, plaintiffs filed a motion to alter judgment noticed for hearing in January 2025. In February 2025, the court denied the plaintiffs' motion to alter judgment.
In addition, in August 2021, a shareholder derivative action purportedly brought on behalf of the Company, Patel v. Szulczewski, was filed in the U.S. federal court alleging that the Company’s directors and officers made or caused the Company to make false and/or misleading statements about the Company’s business operations and financial prospects in various public filings. This matter is stayed pending certain motion practice in the IPO Case.
We cannot predict the outcome of these cases at this time and we may continue to be the target of securities litigations, and/or may receive other civil and regulator inquiries and requests, in the future. Securities litigation or inquiries or investigations against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, which could adversely affect our business, results of operation, and/or reputation.
We depend upon our subsidiary, ContextLogic Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”), for our cash flows and we may not have sufficient cash flows or cash on hand to satisfy our obligations, or we may not be able to effectively manage our business.
In connection with the up to $150 million investment in our subsidiary, Holdings, in March 2025, we contributed $141,702,000 to Holdings (the “Parent Cash Contribution”) in exchange for common units in Holdings and committed to contribute an aggregate additional $5 million in currently restricted cash in April and September of 2025. Following the Parent Cash Contribution, almost all of our cash is held by Holdings. Consequently, our cash flows and our ability to meet our obligations, including our expenses as a publicly traded company, depend upon the cash flows of Holdings and the payment of funds by Holdings to us in the form of distributions or otherwise. Any failure to receive distributions from Holdings when needed could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Our subsidiary, Holdings, is subject to certain restrictions under its Amended and Restated Limited Liability Agreement (the “A&R LLCA”), which could affect our ability to execute our operational and strategic objectives.
Legal and contractual restrictions in the agreements governing Holdings, such as the A&R LLCA, as well as its financial condition and operating requirements, may limit the ability of Holdings to make distributions to the Company. Holdings is and will be separate a legal entity, and although it is controlled by us, it has no obligation to make any funds available to us, whether in the form of loans, distributions or otherwise, except as set forth in the A&R LLCA. The ability of Holdings to distribute cash to us will also be subject to, among other things, restrictions that are contained in the A&R LLCA, availability of sufficient funds and applicable state laws and regulatory restrictions. With certain exceptions, holders of Class A Convertible Preferred Units (the “Preferred Units”) have priority as to the distribution of cash and assets of Holdings over
7
our claims. To the extent the ability of Holdings to make distributions or other payments to us could be limited in any way, this could materially limit our ability to fund and conduct our business or fund dividends, redemptions or repurchases.
The holders of the Preferred Units have rights, preferences and privileges in Holdings that are not held by, and are preferential to, the rights of the Company. Holdings may be required, under certain circumstances, to repurchase the outstanding Preferred Units for cash, and such obligations could adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition.
For so long as the initial holder of Preferred Units or its permitted transferees, holds any Preferred Units, such holder has certain approval rights relating to, among other things, the operation of Holdings, acquisitions and dispositions of assets, affiliate transactions, the incurrence of indebtedness and the issuance of securities or other instruments. These approval rights could limit Holdings’ ability to implement future strategic objectives. The preferential rights could also result in divergent interests between us as a holder of common units in Holdings and the holders of the Preferred Units.
Risks Related to our NOLs and Other Tax Attributes
We may not be able to utilize a significant portion of our net operating loss carryforwards, and other tax attributes, which could adversely affect the value of our common stock.
As of December 31, 2024, we had federal NOLs available to reduce future taxable income, if any, of $886 million that begin to expire in 2030 and continue to expire through 2037 and $2.0 billion that have an unlimited carryover period. As of December 31, 2024, we had state NOLs available to reduce future taxable income, if any, of $7.4 billion that begin to expire in 2026 and continue to expire through 2044 and $2.1 billion that have an unlimited carryover period. Under legislation enacted in 2017, informally titled the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), as modified by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), unused U.S. federal NOLs generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, will not expire and may be carried forward indefinitely, but the deductibility of such federal NOLs in tax years beginning after December 31, 2020, is limited to 80% of taxable income. Additionally, portions of these NOLs could expire unused and be unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities. In addition, at the state level, there may be periods during which the use of NOLs is suspended or otherwise limited. As a result, even if we acquire income producing assets and attain profitability in the future, we may be unable to use a material portion of our NOLs and other tax attributes, which could adversely affect our future cash flows and the value of our common stock.
An “ownership change” could limit the use of our NOLs and our potential to derive a benefit from our NOLs.
The utilization of NOLs and other tax attributes to offset future taxable income or taxes may be subject to limitations under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and similar state statutes as a result of ownership changes that could occur in the future. While we have entered into a Tax Benefits Preservation Plan designed to preserve and protect our NOLs, there is no guarantee that we have not undergone an ownership change in the past or that such plan will prevent us from experiencing an ownership change in the future which would limit our ability to use our NOLs.
In general, an “ownership change” would occur if there is a cumulative change in the ownership of our common stock of more than 50% by one or more “5% stockholders” during a three-year test period.
Our Tax Benefits Preservation Plan does not prohibit a stockholder from acquiring a significant percentage of our outstanding common stock and adversely impacting our ability to preserve our NOLs.
Our Tax Benefits Preservation Plan is designed to preserve the value of certain tax assets associated with NOL carryforwards under Section 382 of the Code by deterring new 5% stockholders and is triggered by an unauthorized person acquiring or holding more than 4.9% of our outstanding voting securities. The Tax Benefits Preservation Plan is designed to deter new 5% stockholders through economic dilution, but does not prohibit a stockholder from acquiring more than 4.9% of our outstanding voting securities which could cause an “ownership change” if there is a cumulative change in the ownership of our common stock of more than 50% by one or more “5% stockholders” during a three-year test period which could materially and adversely reduce and restrict our ability to utilize and benefit from our NOLs.
Risks Related to our Business Plan and Future Operations
We may face difficulties or delays or be unsuccessful in a search to acquire an operating business or assets, and we may expend significant time and capital on a prospective business or asset acquisition that is not ultimately consummated.
8
Our Board of Directors is evaluating strategic alternatives, including the potential to use the Post-Closing Cash for acquiring assets or a business. The investigation of any specific target assets or a business and any subsequent negotiation and drafting of related agreements, SEC disclosure and other documents would require substantial amounts of management’s time and attention and material additional costs in connection with outsourced services from accountants, attorneys and other professionals. We would likely expend significant time and resources searching for, conducting due diligence on, and negotiating transaction terms in connection with a proposed asset or a business acquisition that may not ultimately come to fruition. Unanticipated issues which may be beyond our control or that of the seller of the applicable assets or business may arise that force us to terminate discussions with a target company, such as the target’s failure or inability to provide adequate documentation to assist in our investigation, a party’s failure to obtain required waivers or consents to consummate the transaction as required by the inability to obtain the required audits, applicable laws, charter documents and agreements, the appearance of a competitive bid from another prospective purchaser, or the seller’s inability to maintain its operations for a sufficient time to allow the transaction to close. Such risks are inherent in any search for new assets or a business and investors should be aware of them before investing in an enterprise such as ours and we can provide no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to acquire assets or a revenue producing business.
We expect to face intense competition in our search for assets or a revenue-producing business to combine with or acquire. Other parties, such as private equity and venture capital firms, larger companies, and other strategic investors, may have greater capital or human resources than we do and/or more experience in a particular industry within which we choose to search. These competitors may have a certain amount of liquid cash available to take advantage of favorable market conditions for a prospective asset or business purchase. Any delay or inability to locate, negotiate and enter into an asset or business acquisition as a result of any disadvantages we have relative to those other potential purchasers could cause us to lose valuable business opportunities to those other potential purchasers, which would have a material adverse effect on our business plan and results of operations. Moreover, economic factors that are beyond our control, including inflation and higher interest rates and economic uncertainty, as well as geopolitical instability may hinder our ability to locate and obtain assets or a business on terms that are favorable to us.
In addition, we have limited capital, and we may not be able to take advantage of any available business opportunities on favorable terms or at all. There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient capital or be able to raise additional capital to provide us with the necessary funds to successfully acquire assets or a business we deem to be appropriate or necessary to accomplish our objectives, in which case we may be forced to terminate our efforts to acquire assets or a revenue producing business and your investment in our common stock could be materially and adversely impacted. In addition, any debt financing that we may secure in connection with an acquisition, could result in additional operating and financial covenants that would limit or restrict our ability to take certain actions. There is no guarantee that financing would be available to us in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
If we are not successful in acquiring assets or a new business and generating material revenues, investors may lose their entire investment.
If we are not successful in acquiring assets or a new business through which to implement it, our investors’ entire investment in our common stock could be materially and adversely affected. Even if we are successful in acquiring the assets of an operating entity, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to generate material revenue therefrom in the short-term or at all or that investors will derive a profit from their investment. If we are not successful, our investors may lose their entire investment.
We may attempt to complete an acquisition with a private target company about which little information is available, and such target entity may not generate revenue as expected or otherwise be compatible with us as expected.
In pursuing our search for assets or a business to acquire, we may seek to complete a business acquisition with a privately-held company or acquire assets from a privately-held company. Very little public information generally exists about private companies, and the only information available to us prior to making a decision may be from documents and information provided directly to us by the target company in connection with the transaction. Such documents or information or the conclusions we draw therefrom could prove to be inaccurate or misleading. As such, we may be required to make our decision on whether to pursue a potential asset or business acquisition based on limited, incomplete or faulty information, which may result in our subsequent operations generating less revenue than expected, which could materially harm our financial condition and results of operations.
When evaluating the desirability of a potential business acquisition, our ability to assess the target business’s management may be limited due to a lack of time, resources or information. Our management’s assessment of the capabilities of the target’s management, therefore, may prove to be incorrect and such management may lack the skills, qualifications or abilities expected. Should the target’s management not possess the skills, qualifications or abilities necessary to manage a public company or assist with their former entity’s merger or combination into ours, the operations
9
and profitability of the post-acquisition business may be negatively impacted, and our stockholders could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares.
Our business could suffer if we are unsuccessful in making, integrating, and maintaining any future acquisitions and investments.
We may acquire assets, businesses or technologies in the future. Integrating an acquired asset, business or technology is difficult and can be risky. These potential and completed transactions create risks such as:
Acquisitions also may require us to spend a substantial portion of our available cash, issue stock, incur debt or other liabilities, amortize expenses related to intangible assets, or incur write-offs of goodwill or other assets. Finally, acquisitions could be viewed negatively by analysts, investors or our users.
The success of our business will depend, in part, on the continued services of certain key personnel and our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.
The success of our business will depend, in part, on the continued services of certain members of our management. Our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel could significantly disrupt our business. Although we take prudent steps to retain key personnel, we face competition for qualified individuals from numerous professional services and other companies. For example, our competitors may be able to attract and retain more qualified professional and technical personnel by offering more competitive compensation packages. If we are unable to attract new personnel and retain our current personnel, we may not be able execute our business plan.
Risks Related to the Asset Purchase Agreement
The Purchaser did not assume the excluded liabilities under the Asset Purchase Agreement.
Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Buyer did not assume all of the liabilities associated with our prior business. Certain liabilities remained with us post-closing. For example, the Buyer did not assume any liabilities arising out of or related to the employment or termination of service of any employee of ours who did not transfer to the Buyer or arising from severance payments to, or unpaid wages owed to, any employee who declined the Buyer’s offer of employment or service or certain third party claims related to the Company’s IPO, including an existing class action lawsuit and a stockholder derivative action. Such liabilities, together with other excluded liabilities under the Asset Purchase Agreement, could be significant. We can provide no assurance that we will not incur material post-closing liabilities.
We have counterparty risk with the Buyer and its affiliates for certain ongoing obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement and the failure of the Buyer and its affiliates to perform their obligations could cause us to suffer losses.
In connection with the Asset Sale, under the Asset Purchase Agreement, we agreed with the Buyer to transfer and assign the lease for the facility located at One Sansome Street (the “Lease”) to the Buyer and for the Buyer to assume all obligations under the Lease. The Company relinquished control of the leased facility after the Asset Sale. In order to obtain the landlord’s consent to the transfer of the Lease and effect its assignment, we agreed to maintain a letter of credit for an additional 90 days following the April 19, 2024 closing date during which time (i) the Buyer was obligated to secure a replacement security acceptable to the landlord and (ii) we and the Buyer agreed to provide the landlord with cash collateral in the amount of $7 million funded equally by the parties. As of October 31, 2024, the landlord had consented to the assignment of the Lease to the Buyer. However, we maintain the letter of credit for the facility. Until the landlord accepts a replacement security proposed by the Buyer, any event by the landlord to draw on the security will come from the maintained letter of credit. Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Buyer agreed to assume all obligations under the Lease since the Asset Sale.
As of August 1, 2024, it has been reported that two of Parent Qoo10’s e-commerce platforms had filed for receivership in South Korea shortly after it was announced that Qoo10 was being investigated in South Korea for failures to make payments to vendors in South Korea. If the Buyer fails to pay the rent under the Lease or comply with other obligations under the Lease, we would be responsible for the remaining obligations under the Lease. While the cash collateral held as restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheet could be utilized to satisfy obligations under the Lease should the Buyer fail to meet them, half of the cash collateral has been funded by the Company, and if more than half of the cash collateral is used to satisfy obligations under the Lease, such funds will not be returned to the Company. While the
10
Buyer would be responsible for such obligations under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, we can provide no assurance that we would be successful in obtaining payment or reimbursement from the Buyer or Qoo10 for such losses.
Risks Related to Our Internal Controls
We have previously identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and may identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, which may result in material misstatements of our consolidated financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations.
During the preparation and the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In addition, given our reliance on information technology (“IT”) systems to synthesize both financial and nonfinancial information, any material weaknesses in our IT controls may result in errors in not only our consolidated financial statements but our nonfinancial metrics as well.
The material weaknesses we identified in 2021 occurred because (i) the processes and controls over our IT systems relevant to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements were inadequate and (ii) the current processes in place were insufficient to allow us to complete the testing and assessment of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting in a timely manner.
Following the closing of the Asset Sale, we reassessed our remediation efforts given that most of our IT systems were sold and the process controls that were associated with the material weakness are no longer applicable to the limited size, scope, and complexity of our current control environment. As a result, we designed a new control environment with new IT systems, processes, and controls commensurate with our current business operations. As described in Item 9A, "Controls and Procedures", following the effective implementation of the new controls, management has concluded that the material weaknesses were remediated as of December 31, 2024, but we cannot guarantee that additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting will not be identified in the future. Our failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in errors in our consolidated financial statements that could result in a restatement of our consolidated financial statements and could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, any of which could diminish investor confidence and cause a decline in the price of our common stock. See Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” for further discussions of the identified material weaknesses.
Our management is required to evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to maintain effective disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy of our financial reports.
As a public company, we are required to maintain internal control over financial reporting and to report any material weaknesses in such internal control. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we evaluate and determine the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Additionally, our independent registered public accounting firm is required to deliver an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming, costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems, and resources.
We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we will file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed in reports under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial officers. While we have developed a new control environment with new systems, processes and controls commensurate with our ongoing business going forward, and new business processes and controls were designed and documented in order to improve our internal control over financial reporting through remediation measures described in Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures—Management’s Plan to Remediate the Material Weaknesses”, we cannot guarantee that these changes will remediate future deficiencies or that additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting will not be identified in the future.
In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we have expended, and anticipate that we will continue to expend, significant resources, including accounting-related costs and significant management oversight. If any of these new or improved controls and systems do not perform as expected, we may experience further deficiencies in our controls.
11
Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business, some of which may arise from our restructuring and turnaround initiatives. We and our previous independent registered public accounting firm identified weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and additional weaknesses may be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement could harm our results of operations, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, and adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations and our independent registered public accounting firm’s attestation reports required by the SEC. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could diminish investor confidence, negatively affect the price of our common stock, and could result in our delisting on Nasdaq. As noted previously, see Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” for further discussions of the identified material weaknesses.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
The uncertainty regarding the use of proceeds from the Asset Sale and our future operations may negatively impact the value and liquidity of our common stock.
We have broad discretion regarding the use of proceeds from the Asset Sale. Although our Board of Directors will continue to evaluate various strategic alternatives regarding the use of the proceeds from the Asset Sale with a goal to maximize stockholder value, including through potentially using our cash, it has not yet identified any particular acquisitions or investments or committed to making any such decision by a particular date. This uncertainty may negatively impact the value and liquidity of our common stock.
There is no assurance that we will remain compliant with Nasdaq's listing requirements.
Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and, in order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued listing requirements and standards including, without limitation, that our closing bid price be at least $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”).
On April 10, 2023, following stockholder approval, our Board of Directors approved a 1-for-30 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. On April 12, 2023, our common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. As of April 26, 2023, we regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
Since the completion of the Asset Sale, our common stock has continued to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. However, there can be no assurance that we will remain in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing rules. If we were to fall out of compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements, there can be no assurance that our common stock would be eligible to be listed on any other national securities exchange.
Future sales and issuances of our common stock or rights to purchase common stock could result in additional dilution to our stockholders and could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
We may issue additional common stock, convertible securities or other equity. We also expect to issue common stock to our employees, directors and other service providers pursuant to our equity incentive plans. Such issuances could be dilutive to investors and could cause the price of our common stock to decline. New investors in such issuances could also receive rights senior to those of holders of our common stock.
If we choose to pursue an asset or business acquisition, we may require additional capital to fund such acquisition. Depending on the acquisition we pursue, future business development activities, as well as administrative expenses such as salaries, insurance, general overhead, legal and compliance expenses and accounting expenses may require a substantial amount of additional capital. We may not be able to obtain additional capital when required.
The market price of the shares of our common stock could decline as a result of the sale of a substantial number of our shares of common stock in the public market.
Our stockholders may not be afforded any opportunity to evaluate or approve an asset or business acquisition as we pursue strategic alternatives.
Our stockholders may not be afforded the opportunity to evaluate and approve a proposed business acquisition. In most cases, asset or business acquisitions do not require stockholder approval under applicable law, and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not afford our stockholders with the right to approve such a transaction. In order to develop and implement our business plan, we may in the future hire lawyers, accountants, technical experts, appraisers, or other
12
consultants to assist with determining our direction and consummating any transactions contemplated thereby. We may rely on such persons in making difficult decisions in connection with the Company’s future business and prospects. The selection of any such persons will be made by our Board of Directors, and any expenses incurred, or decisions made based on any of the foregoing could prove to be adverse to the Company in hindsight, the result of which could be diminished value to our stockholders.
We are a smaller reporting company, and any decision on our part to comply only with reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to such companies could make our ordinary shares less attractive to investors.
As of December 31, 2024, we qualified as a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in the Exchange Act, meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a “smaller reporting company,” and the market value of our shares of common stock held by non-affiliates, or our public float, is less than $250 million. As a “smaller reporting company,” we may choose to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not smaller reporting companies. This includes reduced disclosure obligations in our SEC filings such as simplified executive compensation disclosures, exemption from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and only being required to provide two years of audited consolidated financial statements in annual reports. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as a “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze our operating results and financial prospects and investors may find our shares of common stock less attractive, which may result in a less active trading market for our common stock and greater stock price volatility.
We do not intend to pay dividends on our capital stock, so any returns will be limited to increases in the value of our common stock.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the operation and expansion of our business. Accordingly, we do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. In addition, any future credit facility or financing we obtain may contain, terms prohibiting or limiting the amount of dividends that may be declared or paid on our common stock. Any return to stockholders will therefore be limited to increases in the price of our common stock, if any.
We do not expect to pay any cash dividends to the holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future and the availability and timing of future cash dividends, if any, is uncertain.
We do not expect to declare or pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Our Board of Directors will determine the amount and timing of stockholder dividends, if any, that we may pay in future periods. In making this determination, our directors will consider all relevant factors, including the amount of cash available for dividends, capital expenditures, covenants, prohibitions or limitations with respect to dividends, applicable law, general operational requirements and other variables. We cannot predict the amount or timing of any future dividends you may receive, and if we do commence the payment of dividends, we may be unable to pay, maintain or increase dividends over time. Therefore, you may not be able to realize any return on your investment in our common stock for an extended period of time, if at all, other than by selling your shares.
The price of our common stock has been and continues to be volatile. Declines in the price of our common stock has resulted in and could subject us to future litigation.
The market price of our common stock has fluctuated and declined and may continue to fluctuate or decline substantially. Accordingly, the price of our common stock has been subject to wide fluctuations and could continue to be subject to wide fluctuations for many reasons, many of which are beyond our control, including those described in this "Risk Factors" section and others such as:
13
Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common stock, regardless of whether we choose to pursue and consummate an asset or business acquisition and of our current or subsequent operating performance and financial condition. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted. A securities class action suit against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s time and attention, which would otherwise be used to benefit our business.
Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents, in our Tax Benefits Preservation Plan, and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of our company more difficult, could limit attempts to make changes in our management and could depress the price of our common stock.
Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company or limiting changes in our management. Among other things, the provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide:
In addition, in connection with the approval of the Asset Purchase Agreement, our Board of Directors adopted the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan in order to protect against a possible limitation on the Company’s ability to use the Company’s NOLs and certain other tax attributes to reduce potential future U.S. federal income tax obligations. The Tax Benefits Preservation Plan could result in the significant dilution of the holdings of a stockholder that acquires more than 4.9% of our common stock. Please refer to the section titled “Tax Benefits Preservation Plan and Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock” in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The provisions described above may delay or prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace members of our management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our Board of Directors, which is responsible for appointing the members of our management. In addition, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) may delay or prevent a change in control of our company. Section 203 imposes certain restrictions on mergers, business combinations and other transactions between us and holders of 15% or more of our common stock. Anti-takeover provisions could depress the price of our common stock by acting to delay or prevent a change in control of our company.
14
Our certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal district courts of the United States of America are the exclusive forums for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.
Our certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal district courts of the United States of America are the exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees. Our certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of us; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty; (iii) any action arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time); (iv) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws; or (v) any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine.
This provision does not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act. Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all such Securities Act actions. Accordingly, both state and federal courts have jurisdiction to entertain such claims. To prevent having to litigate claims in multiple jurisdictions and the threat of inconsistent or contrary rulings by different courts, among other considerations, our certificate of incorporation further provides that the U.S. federal district courts are the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. While the Delaware courts have determined that such choice of forum provisions are facially valid, a stockholder may nevertheless seek to bring a claim in a venue other than those designated in the exclusive forum provisions. In such instance, we would expect to vigorously assert the validity and enforceability of the exclusive forum provisions of our certificate of incorporation. This may require significant additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions and there can be no assurance that the provisions will be enforced by a court in those other jurisdictions.
These exclusive-forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other employees. If a court were to find either exclusive forum provision of our certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable to or unenforceable in an action, we may incur further significant additional costs associated with resolving the dispute in other jurisdictions, all of which could seriously harm our business.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
Not applicable.
Item 1C. Cybersecurity.
Our Company recognizes the importance of maintaining the safety and security of our critical systems, information, and broader information technology environment. We have developed a comprehensive cyber, data governance, and privacy program intended to (i) protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our information systems and data, and (ii) assess, identify, and manage materials risks associated with cybersecurity threats
In order to protect the Company data - and any other data we manage or handle - we have adopted a number of safeguards and security measures. For example, we have implemented software-as-a-service firewalls, endpoint protection, detection and response solutions, intrusion detection systems, access controls including multi-factor authentication, vulnerability scanning, software static analysis, dynamic analysis, third-party independent business continuity testing, independent third-party control audits. In addition, we have implemented several policies and programs to improve compliance and reduce risk, ensure appropriate responses in the event of an incident, and reduce the cost and scope of an incident should it occur, including:
Our IRP, in conjunction with the IT&IS Policy, is designed to equip our employees and managers with the necessary tools to detect, respond to, and ultimately prevent cybersecurity incidents. It contains detailed processes and procedures to assist employees in managing cybersecurity incidents when they happen, including techniques for detecting/identifying suspicious activity in our data environment, response and escalation protocols to defend against intrusions and contain any potential data leakage, data preservation measures to ensure data integrity going forward, and remediation steps to diagnose root causes and secure gaps to prevent future attacks.
The Incident Response Team (“IRT”) coordinates and aligns key resources and team members during a security incident to minimize impact, restore operations as quickly as possible, and assess and fulfill the Company’s legal and contractual obligations.
Finally, the IRP is also supported by a full curriculum of training for employees that is drafted and administered under the supervision of our Chief Compliance Officer. Importantly, these training sessions include several modules and quizzes for both technical and non-technical employees to assist our employees in comprehensively understanding the importance of data security to our stakeholders and our business and the various ways they can promote a security environment throughout our company.
Risk Management and Strategy
Incident Response Lifecycle - Assessing and Responding to Cyber Incidents
Our IRP sets forth the Company’s process for assessing cyber threats.
16
The preparation phase of our IRP includes maintaining protective measures to minimize the likelihood and impact of a security incident, regularly reviewing and updating our policies and procedures to maintain alignment with industry standards and guidance, and periodic training of all Company personnel on information security, data privacy, and the procedures to reporting suspected incidents.
The detection and analysis phase addresses the responsibility of Company personnel to notify our IRT Leader and IT provider upon noticing, suspecting, or being notified of any actual or suspected security incident which will prompt our IT provider to perform an initial investigation of the issue and determine whether the event is a security incident and whether the Cybersecurity Response Leader needs to be notified.
The incident response, investigation, and notification phase of our IRP addresses the distinct but simultaneous workstreams that occur internally once an event has been determined to be a security incident. This includes technical response such as technical evidence collection and preservation, thread containment and eradication, and system and data restoration. Additionally, incident investigation efforts begin to determine the scope and severity of the security incident with legal and finance stakeholders. If appropriate, further measures are taken to comply with disclosure obligations as required by governance guidelines, committee charters, and applicable laws and contracts.
Evaluation
As part of our IRP, we conduct regular testing to ensure that the IRP is functional and effective. Tests may include tabletop exercises, verbal walkthroughs with relevant stakeholders, or responses to actual security incidents.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements that involve expectations, plans or intentions (such as those relating to future business, future results of operations or financial condition, new or planned features or services, management strategies or timing and other expectations regarding our business). You can identify these forward-looking statements by words such as “may,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan” and other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, those discussed in “Item 1A: Risk Factors” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as in our consolidated financial statements, related notes, and the other information appearing elsewhere in this report and our other filings with the SEC. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any of our forward-looking statements after the date of this report to reflect actual results or future events or circumstances. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. You should read the following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in conjunction with the special note regarding forward-looking statements, consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this report. A discussion regarding our financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 is included under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2024
As of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $3.3 billion. We expect losses from operations to continue for the foreseeable future as we incur costs and expenses related to identifying and completing an acquisition.
Global Considerations
We are monitoring the recent volatility in the global financial markets, including inflation and rising interest rates. These developments could continue to negatively impact global economic activity and consumer behavior, which may adversely affect our business and our results of operations.
Reductions in Workforce
In January 2023 and August 2023, we conducted workforce reductions of approximately 400 employees, representing approximately one half of our then global workforce (“2023 RIFs”). In connection with the 2023 RIFs, we incurred charges of approximately $13 million in severance and other personnel reductions costs for terminated employees. The 2023 RIFs were intended to refocus our operations to support our ongoing business prioritization efforts, better align resources, and improve operational efficiencies. Substantially all related severance payments were paid as of December 31, 2023.
Following the Asset Sale, substantially all of our employees became employees of the Buyer.
Asset Purchase Agreement with Qoo10
Our Board initiated a process to explore a range of strategic alternatives to maximize value for Company’s shareholders starting in the fourth quarter of 2023.
On February 10, 2024, we entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement with Qoo10 pursuant to which we agreed to sell substantially all of our assets to Qoo10, other than (i) our NOLs and certain other tax attributes, (ii) our marketable securities and (iii) certain of our cash and cash equivalents. As consideration for the Asset Sale, Qoo10 agreed to acquire those assets and assume substantially all of our liabilities as specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement.
19
On April 18, 2024, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock voted to approve the Asset Sale. Pursuant to such vote and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, the Asset Sale closed on April 19, 2024. Prior to the Asset Sale, we owned and operated the Wish platform. The Wish platform generated revenue for us from the marketplace and logistics services provided to merchants. As a result of the Asset Sale, the Wish platform and all related operating assets were sold to the Buyer.
The financial results presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K reflect the Asset Sale as it was completed on April 19, 2024. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements and the narrative description of the Company’s business, assets, liabilities and risks contained in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations reflect the pre-Asset Sale operations up to April 19, 2024, the results of the Asset Sale, and the post-Asset Sale activities since April 19, 2024. See Part I, Item 1. “Business—Asset Sale” for further discussion of the Asset Purchase Agreement.
Key Financial Metrics
Components of Results of Operations
Since the consummation of the Asset Sale on April 19, 2024, we no longer earn operating revenue or incur related cost associated with the prior marketplace and logistics operations. We expect to incur minimal administrative costs in the course of overseeing and curating the remaining assets.
Revenue (Prior to Asset Sale)
Prior to the Asset Sale, our revenue consisted of marketplace and logistics revenue.
Marketplace revenue
We provide a mix of marketplace services to our customers. We provide merchants access to our marketplace where merchants display and sell their products to users. We also provide ProductBoost services to help merchants promote their products within our marketplace.
Marketplace revenue includes commission fees collected in connection with user purchases of the merchants’ products. The commission fees vary depending on factors such as geography, product category, Wish Standards' tier and item value. We recognize revenue when a user’s order is processed and the related order information has been made available to the merchant. Commission fees are recognized net of estimated refunds and chargebacks. Marketplace revenue also includes ProductBoost revenue generated by increasing exposure for a merchant’s relevant products within our marketplace. We recognize ProductBoost revenue based on the number of impressions delivered, or clicks by users.
Logistics revenue
Our logistics offering for merchants is designed for direct end-to-end single order shipment from a merchant’s location to the user. Logistics services include transportation and delivery of the merchant’s products to the user. Merchants are required to prepay for logistics services on a per order basis.
We recognize revenue over time as the merchant simultaneously receives and consumes the logistics services benefit as the logistics services are performed. We use an output method of progress based on days in transit as it best depicts the Company’s progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.
Cost of Revenue and Operating Expenses (Prior to Asset Sale)
Cost of revenue
Prior to the Asset Sale, cost of revenue included colocation and data center charges, interchange and other fees for credit card processing services, fraud and chargeback prevention service charges, costs of refunds and chargebacks made to our users that we are not able to collect from our merchants, depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, shipping charges, tracking and logistics costs, warehouse fees, and employee-related costs, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense for our infrastructure, merchant support, and logistics personnel. Cost of revenue also includes an allocation of general IT and facilities overhead expenses.
Sales and marketing
Prior to the Asset Sale, our sales and marketing expenses are primarily driven by the cost of acquiring and engaging users by targeting social media and search engine digital advertisements, outsourced user support services, sponsorships and local marketing campaigns. Other drivers consist of employee-related costs, including salaries, benefits, and
20
stock-based compensation, for our employees involved in marketing, user support, and business development functions. Sales and marketing spend also includes an allocation of general IT and facilities overhead expenses as well as business development expenses for attracting merchants and conducting ongoing merchant education.
Product development
Prior to the Asset Sale, our product development expenses consist primarily of employee-related costs, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation for our engineers and other employees involved in product development activities. Product development costs have historically been expensed as incurred. Product development costs also include the cost of IT and outside services used by the product development team as well as an allocation of general IT and facilities overhead expenses.
Operating Expenses
General and administrative
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee-related costs, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation for our executives, finance, legal, information technology, human resources, and other administrative teams. General and administrative expenses also include outside consulting, legal, tax, and accounting services, and facilities and other supporting overhead costs.
Interest and Other Income, net
Interest and other income, net consists primarily of interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, interest expense, foreign exchange gains or losses and gains or losses from our foreign currency forward contracts.
Income Tax
Prior to the Asset Sale, income taxes consist primarily of income taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business.

The 2024 provision was primarily related to withholding taxes accrued on certain intercompany dividends in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 while the 2023 provision was related to unrecognized tax benefits and our international operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
24
As of December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $66 million, a majority of which were held in cash deposits and U.S. Treasury bills, and marketable securities of $83 million, which funds were held for working capital purposes. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months, though we may require additional financing or capital resources in the future.
We incurred net operating cash outflows of $94 million and $341 million in the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our material cash requirements outside our normal operating costs include $5 million in total liabilities.
Sources of Liquidity
As a result of the Asset Sale, we received/retained approximately $162 million in cash. As of December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $66 million and marketable securities of $83 million (consisting of government securities). As required by the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Buyer assumed substantially all the liabilities of the Company.
Since the consummation of the Asset Sale, we: (i) earn interest income on cash and marketable securities that we continue to hold following the Asset Sale; (ii) have no other sources of revenue and related costs; and (iii) incur minimal administrative costs.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Our cash flows from operations are largely dependent on the amount of revenue we generate. Net cash provided by operating activities in each period presented has been influenced by changes in funds receivable, prepaid expenses, and other current and noncurrent assets, accounts payable, merchants payable, accrued and refund liabilities, lease liabilities, and other current and noncurrent liabilities.
Net cash used in our operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $94 million. This was primarily driven by our net loss of $75 million and $25 million of unfavorable changes in our operating assets and liabilities, which was partially offset by net non-cash expenses of $6 million, consisting of $12 million in stock-based compensation expense, $4 million in net accretion on marketable securities, and a $4 million gain on Asset Sale. Unfavorable working capital movement was mainly driven by reductions in accounts payable, merchants payable and accrued and refund liabilities. Accounts payable, merchants payable, and accrued and refund liabilities decreased significantly due to the Asset Sale.
Net cash used in our operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $341 million. This was primarily driven by our net loss of $317 million and $90 million of unfavorable changes in our operating assets and liabilities, which was partially offset by non-cash expenses of $66 million, consisting of $64 million in stock-based compensation expense and $2 million of other non-cash expenses. Unfavorable working capital movement was mainly driven by reductions in accounts payable, merchants payable and accrued and refund liabilities. Accounts payable, merchants payable, and accrued and refund liabilities decreased by $106 million primarily due to lower order volumes and reduced digital advertising expenditures.
Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Investing Activities
Our primary investing activities have consisted of investing excess cash balances in marketable securities.
Net cash used in investing activities was $68 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. This was primarily due to $168 million in purchases of marketable securities and $133 million net cash disposed from the Asset Sale, partially offset by $233 million in maturities and sales of marketable securities.
25
Net cash provided by investing activities was $74 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This was primarily due to $390 million of maturities in marketable securities, partially offset by $313 million in purchases of marketable securities and $3 million in capital expenditures.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash used in our financing activities was $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. This was due to $1 million in payments of taxes related to employee restricted stock unit ("RSU") settlements and cashless exercises of stock options.
Net cash used in our financing activities was $5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This was primarily due to $5 million in payments of taxes related to employee RSU settlements and cashless exercises of stock options.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates.
We believe the accounting policies below involve a significant degree of assumptions and estimates, and thus have the greatest potential impact on our consolidated financial statements. For further information on all of our significant accounting policies, refer to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”.
Revenue Recognition
Prior to the Asset Sale, the most critical judgments required in applying ASC 606, Revenue Recognition from Customers, and our revenue policy related to:
Changes in judgments with respect to these assumptions and estimates could have an impact on the timing and amount of revenue recognition.
Following the Asset Sale, we no longer have revenue as we have no marketplace and logistics operations.
Deferred Revenue
Prior to the Asset Sale, deferred revenue consisted of amounts received, primarily related to unsatisfied performance obligations of logistics services, at the end of the period. Due to the short-term duration of contracts, all of the performance obligations were satisfied in the following reporting period.
Following the Asset Sale, we no longer have deferred revenue.
Wish Cash Liability
26
Prior to the Asset Sale, we issued Wish Cash to end-users who opted to receive it for their refundable transactions and as a part of our various referral and incentive programs. We accrued a liability for issued Wish Cash which was reduced when Wish Cash was redeemed by our users. We recorded breakage revenue within core marketplace revenue on unredeemed Wish Cash balances based on expected customer redemption. We estimated breakage based on historical and expected trends. Actual redemptions may vary from our estimates.
Following the Asset Sale, we no longer issue any Wish Cash and we do not have any Wish Cash liability.
Operating Lease Obligations
Prior to the Asset Sale, we leased facilities and data center colocations in multiple locations under non-cancelable lease agreements through 2027. For leases with a term greater than one year, lease liabilities were recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the expected lease term. The discount rate the Company used to estimate the present value of future lease payments was the Company’s incremental borrowing rate because the rate implicit in our leases were not readily available. The right-of-use ("ROU") asset was determined based on the lease liability initially established and adjusted for any prepaid lease payments and any lease incentives received. The expected lease term to calculate the ROU asset and related lease liability included options to extend or terminate the lease when it was reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option.
Determining the incremental borrowing rate to calculate the present value of future lease payments involved considerable estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions included, among others, future economic and market conditions, analysis of publicly traded debt of companies with similar credit risk profiles of our own, and likelihood of the Company exercising lease renewal options (if applicable). Changes in these factors and assumptions used can materially affect the amount of ROU assets and lease liabilities we recognized on our consolidated balance sheets.
Following the Asset Sale, we no longer have any operating leases or related ROU assets, current lease liabilities, or non-current lease liabilities.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Prior to the Asset Sale, we reviewed long-lived assets, including intangible and ROU assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used was measured first by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets were considered to be impaired, an impairment loss would be recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset above the fair value of the asset.
Calculating the fair value of the asset involved significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions included, among others, projected future cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rates, future economic and market conditions, and the determination of appropriate market comparables. Changes in these factors and assumptions used could have materially affected the amount of impairment loss recognized in the period the asset was considered impaired.
Following the Asset Sale, we no longer have any long-lived assets.
Loss Contingencies
We are involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations, and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Certain of these matters include speculative claims for substantial or indeterminate amounts of damages. We record a liability when we believe that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount or range can be reasonably estimated. We disclose material contingencies when we believe that a loss is not probable but reasonably possible. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. We review these provisions on an ongoing basis and adjust these provisions accordingly to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information.
The outcome of legal matters and litigation is inherently uncertain. Therefore, if one or more of these legal matters were resolved against us for amounts in excess of management’s expectations, our results of operations, and financial condition, including in a particular reporting period, could be materially adversely affected
Stock-Based Compensation
We measure and recognize compensation expense for all stock-based awards, including RSUs, performance-based units (“PSUs”), stock options, and purchase rights issued to employees under our employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”),
27
based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the grant date. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options and ESPP purchase rights and the Monte Carlo Simulation model to estimate the fair value of a PSU. The fair value of RSUs is based on the market closing price for our common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date of grant.
Our use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing and Monte Carlo Simulation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the underlying common stock, expected term of the option, expected volatility of the price of our common stock, risk-free interest rates, and the expected dividend yield of our common stock. The assumptions used in these valuation models represent management’s best estimates. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. If factors change and different assumptions are used, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.
Income Taxes
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and in many international jurisdictions. The determination of these tax liabilities requires estimation, significant judgment, and interpretation of each jurisdiction’s tax statutes, regulations, and case laws. Additionally, governing tax legislation could change significantly with little or no notice. It is important for us to monitor economic, political, and other conditions in the various countries with operations as changes in a jurisdiction’s conditions could impact the amount of deferred tax assets or our ability to utilize deferred tax assets in the future.
We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between consolidated financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established when deemed necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ContextLogic Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of ContextLogic Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated March 12, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
ContextLogic Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of ContextLogic, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”) of the Company and our report dated March 12, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
An entity’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. An entity’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the entity; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the entity are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the entity; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the entity’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

1. description OF BUSINESS
As previously disclosed, on February 10, 2024, ContextLogic Inc. (the “Company”, “ContextLogic”, "we" or "us") entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Qoo10 Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Qoo10 Delaware”), and, for certain specified purposes, Qoo10 Pte. Ltd., a Singapore private limited company and Qoo10 Delaware’s parent company (“Qoo10”), pursuant to which (i) the Company agreed to sell substantially all of its assets to Qoo10 Delaware or an affiliate designated by Qoo10 Delaware (such designated affiliate, the “Buyer”), other than (A) the Company’s net operating losses (“NOLs”) and certain other tax attributes, (B) the Company’s marketable securities and (C) certain of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, and (ii) Qoo10 agreed to acquire those assets and assume substantially all of the Company’s liabilities as specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Sale”).
On April 18, 2024, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock voted to approve the Asset Sale. Pursuant to such vote and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, the Asset Sale closed on April 19, 2024.
Prior to the Asset Sale, the Company owned and operated the Wish platform (“Wish”). The Wish platform generated revenue for the Company from the marketplace and logistics services provided to merchants. As a result of the Asset Sale, the Wish platform and all related operating assets were sold to the Buyer. The consolidated financial statements presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K reflect the Asset Sale as it was completed on April 19, 2024. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements and the narrative description of the Company’s business, assets, liabilities and risks contained in the related Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as in the accompanying Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations reflect the pre-Asset Sale operations up to April 19, 2024, the results of the Asset Sale, and the post-Asset Sale activities since April 19, 2024. Refer to Note 4 – Asset Sale for additional information on the Asset Sale.
The Company was incorporated in the state of
Reverse Stock Split
On April 10, 2023, the Company filed a certificate of amendment (the “Reverse Stock Split Amendment”) to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware to effect a
All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company evaluated whether there are any conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $

The Company has incurred significant accumulated losses of approximately $
Tax Benefits Preservation Plan and Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock
On February 10, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a Tax Benefits Preservation Plan and declared a dividend of one right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on
In connection with the adoption of the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan, on February 12, 2024, the Company filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, a Certificate of Designation designating
The Company adopted the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan in order to protect against a possible limitation on the Company’s ability to use the Company’s net operating losses ("NOLs") and certain other tax attributes to reduce potential future U.S. federal income tax obligations. The NOLs and certain other tax attributes are valuable assets to the Company, which may inure to the benefit of the Company and its stockholders. However, if the Company experiences an “ownership change,” as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), its ability to fully utilize the NOLs and certain other tax attributes will be substantially limited and the timing of the usage of the NOLs and other tax attributes could be substantially delayed, which could significantly impair the value of those assets. Generally, an “ownership change” occurs if the percentage of the Company’s stock owned by one or more of its “5-percent shareholders” (as such term is defined in Section 382 of the Code) increases by more than 50 percentage points over the lowest percentage of stock owned by such stockholder or stockholders at any time over a three-year period. The Tax Benefits Preservation Plan is intended to prevent such an “ownership change” by deterring any person or group, together with its affiliates and associates, from acquiring beneficial ownership of
Subject to certain exceptions, the Rights become exercisable and trade separately from the Company’s common stock only upon the "Distribution Time", which occurs upon the earlier of: (i) the close of business on the tenth day after the “Stock Acquisition Date” (which is (a) the first date of public announcement that any person or group has become an “Acquiring Person,” which is defined as a person or group that, together with its affiliates and associates, beneficially owns
The Rights will expire on the earliest to occur of: (a) the close of business on February 10, 2027; (b) the time at which the Rights are redeemed or exchanged by the Company; (c) upon the closing of any merger or other acquisition transaction involving the Company pursuant to a merger or other acquisition agreement that has been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors before any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person; and (d) the time at which the Company’s Board of Directors determines that the NOLs and certain other tax attributes are utilized in all material respects or that an ownership change under Section 382 of the Code would not adversely impact in any material respect the time period in which the Company could use the NOLs and other tax attributes or materially impair the amount of NOLs and other tax attributes that could be used by the Company in any particular time period, for applicable tax purposes.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates form the basis for judgments the Company makes about the carrying values of its assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. These estimates include, but are not limited to, fair value of financial instruments, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, fair value of derivative instruments, incremental borrowing rate applied to lease accounting, contingent liabilities, redemption probabilities associated with Wish

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale
The Company classifies long-lived assets or disposal groups to be sold as held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met: (1) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset or disposal group; (2) the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets or disposal groups; (3) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset or disposal group have been initiated; (4) the sale of the asset or disposal group is probable, and transfer of the asset or disposal group is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year, except if events or circumstances beyond the Company's control extend the period of time required to sell the asset or disposal group beyond one year; (5) the asset or disposal group is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (6) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
The Company initially measures a long-lived asset or disposal group that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held-for-sale criteria are met. Conversely, gains are not recognized on the sale of a long-lived asset or disposal group until the date of sale. The Company assesses the fair value of a long-lived asset or disposal group less any costs to sell each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale and reports any subsequent changes as an adjustment to the carrying value of the asset or disposal group, as long as the new carrying value does not exceed the carrying value of the asset at the time it was initially classified as held for sale.
Upon determining that a long-lived asset or disposal group meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, the Company ceases depreciation and reports long-lived assets and/or the assets and liabilities of the disposal group, if material, in the line items assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale, respectively, in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Asset Sale met the held for sale criteria on April 18, 2024, the date that the stockholders of the Company approved the Asset Sale. Refer to Note 4 – Asset Sale for additional information on the Asset Sale.
Discontinued Operations
A disposal group is classified as a discontinued operation when the following criteria are met: (1) the disposal group is a component of an entity; (2) the component of the entity meets the held-for-sale criteria in accordance with our policy described above; and (3) the component of the entity represents a strategic shift in the entity's operating and financial results. Alternatively, if a business meets the criteria for held for sale on the acquisition date, the business is accounted for as a discontinued operation. The Asset Sale did not result in the Company's operations meeting the criteria for discontinued operations as the operations being disposed, per the Asset Sale, were not clearly distinguishable from the rest of the Company.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Segments
The Company historically managed its operations and allocated resources as a operating segment. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) who makes operating decisions, assesses financial performance and allocates resources based on consolidated financial information. Further, the Company has determined that it operated as
Revenue Recognition
Prior to the Asset Sale, the Company generated revenue from marketplace and logistics services provided to its customers. Revenue was recognized as the Company transferred control of promised goods or services to its customers in
40
an amount that reflected the consideration the Company expected to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company considered both the merchant and the user to be customers. The Company evaluated whether it was appropriate to recognize revenue on a gross or net basis based upon its evaluation of whether the Company obtained control of the specified goods or services by considering if it was primarily responsible for fulfillment of the promise, had inventory risk and had latitude in establishing pricing and selecting suppliers, among other factors. Based on these factors, marketplace revenue was generally recognized on a net basis and logistics revenue was generally recognized on a gross basis. Revenue excluded any amounts collected on behalf of third parties, including indirect taxes.
The following table shows the disaggregated revenue for the applicable periods:

Marketplace Revenue
Prior to the Asset Sale, the Company provided a mix of marketplace services to its customers. The Company provided merchants access to its marketplace where merchants displayed and sold their products to users. The Company also provided ProductBoost services to help merchants promote their products within the Company’s marketplace.
Prior to the Asset Sale, marketplace revenue included commission fees collected in connection with user purchases of the merchants’ products. The commission fees varied depending on factors such as geography, product category, Wish Standards' tier and item value. The Company recognized revenue when a user’s order was processed and the related order information had been made available to the merchant. Commission fees were recognized net of estimated refunds and chargebacks. Marketplace revenue also included ProductBoost revenue generated by increasing exposure for a merchant’s relevant products within the Company's marketplace. The Company recognized ProductBoost revenue based on the number of impressions delivered, or clicks by users.
Logistics Revenue
Prior to the Asset Sale, the Company’s logistics offering for merchants was designed for direct end-to-end single order shipment from a merchant’s location to the user. Logistics services included transportation and delivery of the merchant’s products to the user. Merchants were required to prepay for logistics services on a per order basis.
The Company recognized revenue over time as the merchant simultaneously received and consumed the logistics services benefit as the logistics services were performed. The Company used an output method of progress based on days in transit as it best depicted the Company’s progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.
Deferred Revenue
Prior to the Asset Sale, deferred revenue consisted of amounts received primarily related to unsatisfied performance obligations of logistics services and marketplace services for shipments in-transit at the end of the period where the Company was the principal. The deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2023 is disclosed in Note 5 – Balance Sheet Components. Due to the short-term duration of contracts, all of the performance obligations would be satisfied in the following reporting period. The deferred revenue balances as of December 31, 2024 is
Refunds and Chargebacks
Prior to the Asset Sale, refunds and chargebacks were associated with marketplace revenue. Returns were not material to the Company’s business. Estimated refunds and chargebacks were recognized on the consolidated balance sheets as refunds liability. The merchant’s share of the refunds was recognized as a reduction to the amount due to merchants. The revenue recognized on transactions subject to refunds and chargebacks was reversed. The Company estimated future refunds and chargebacks using a model that incorporated historical experience, considering recent business trends, and market activity.
41
Incentive Discount Offers
Prior to the Asset Sale, the Company provided incentive discount offers to its users to encourage purchases of products through its marketplace. Such offers included current discount offers of a certain percentage off current purchases and inducement offers, such as set percentage offers off future purchases subject to a minimum current purchase. The Company generally recorded the related discounts taken as a reduction of revenue when the offer was redeemed. The Company also offered free products to encourage users to make purchases on its marketplace. The resulting discount was recognized as a reduction of revenue when the offer for free product was redeemed.
Wish Cash Liability
Prior to the Asset Sale, the Company issued Wish Cash to end-users who opted to receive it for their refundable transactions. The Company also offered Wish Cash as part of its various referral and incentive programs. The Company accrued a liability for issued Wish Cash which was reduced when Wish Cash was redeemed by its users. Based on historical experience, the Company analyzed the Wish Cash liability considering usage patterns to determine the probability of redemption. While the Company would continue to honor all Wish Cash presented for payment, management may determine the likelihood of redemption to be remote for Wish Cash balances due to, among other things, long periods of inactivity. In these circumstances, to the extent management determined there was no requirement for remitting Wish Cash balances to government agencies under unclaimed property laws, the portion of Wish Cash balances not expected to be redeemed were recognized in Core Marketplace revenue.
Cost of Revenue
Prior to the Asset Sale, cost of revenue included colocation and data center charges, interchange and other fees for payment processing services, fraud and chargeback prevention service charges, costs of refunds and chargebacks made to users that the Company was not able to collect from merchants, depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, shipping charges, tracking costs, warehouse fees, and employee-related costs, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense, for the Company’s infrastructure, merchant support and logistics personnel. Cost of revenue also included an allocation of general information technology and facilities overhead expenses.
Advertising Expense
Prior to the Asset Sale, advertising expenses were included in sales and marketing expenses within the consolidated statements of operations and were expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $
Software Development Costs
Prior to the Asset Sale, the Company capitalized costs to develop its mobile application and website when preliminary development efforts were successfully completed, management had authorized and committed project funding, and it was probable that the project will be completed, and the software would be used as intended. Costs incurred during the preliminary planning and evaluation stage of the project and during the post implementation operational stage, including maintenance, were expensed as incurred. Costs incurred for enhancements that were expected to result in additional functionality were capitalized and expensed over the estimated useful life of the upgrades on a per project basis.
Due to the iterative process by which the Company performed upgrades and the relatively short duration of its development projects, development costs meeting capitalization criteria generally were not material. If internal-use software development costs were material, they were capitalized and included in property and equipment, net within the consolidated balance sheets.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash deposited with banks, U.S. Treasury bills, and money market funds for which their cost approximates their fair value. The Company held
Restricted cash as of December 31, 2024 represents amounts held in collateral for the lease for the facility located at One Sansome Street's (the “Lease”) letter of credit. Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed with the Buyer to transfer and assign the Lease to the Buyer and for the Buyer to assume all obligations under the Lease. The Company relinquished control of the leased facility after the Asset Sale. In order to obtain the landlord’s consent to the transfer of the Lease and effect its assignment, the Company agreed to maintain a letter of credit until the landlord accepts
42
a replacement security proposed by the Buyer. Half of the cash collateral has been funded by the Company and half has been funded by the Buyer. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the balance of restricted cash was $
Marketable Securities
Marketable securities consist of short-term debt securities classified as available-for-sale and have original maturities greater than
Funds Receivable
Prior to the Asset Sale, the Company used several third-party Payment Service Providers (“PSPs”) to process user transactions on its marketplace. Transactions on the Company’s marketplace were mainly credit and debit card-based transactions that converted to cash on a regular basis and were net settled against refunds and chargebacks, with little default risk. Funds receivable represented the amounts expected to be received from PSPs for purchases on the Company’s marketplace and was recognized net of processing fees.
Concentrations of Risk
Credit Risk — Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, funds receivable and marketable securities. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held on deposit with creditworthy institutions. Although the Company’s deposits exceed federally insured limits, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company invests its excess cash in money market accounts, U.S. Treasury notes, U.S. Treasury bills, commercial paper, corporate bonds, and non-U.S. government securities. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of a default by the financial institutions holding its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities for the amounts reflected on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s investment policy limits investments to certain types of debt securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies and institutions with investment-grade credit ratings and places restrictions on maturities and concentration by type and issuer.
Following the Asset Sale, the Company only maintains bank accounts in the United States. The total cash balance in former bank accounts maintained in China represented approximately
Prior to the Asset Sale, the Company's derivative financial instruments exposed it to credit risk to the extent that the counterparties were unable to meet the terms of the arrangement. Following the Asset Sale, the Company did not have any derivative instruments as of December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 4 – Asset Sale for additional information on Asset Sale.
Prior to the Asset Sale, the Company was exposed to credit risk in the event of a default by its PSPs. Following the Asset Sale, the Company did not have any funds receivable as of December 31, 2024. The two PSPs that represented more than 10% of the Company's funds receivable balance as of December 31, 2023 amounted to
Services Risk — Prior to the Asset Sale, the Company served all of its users using third-party data center and hosting providers. No significant interruptions of service were known to have occurred during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company does not have any service risk as of December 31, 2024 as the Company no longer has marketplace and logistics operations as of the Asset Sale on April 19, 2024. Refer to Note 4 – Asset Sale for additional information on Asset Sale.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
The estimated useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment are generally as follows:
43
|
|
Computers, equipment, software |
|
Furniture and fixtures, servers, networking equipment |
|
Leasehold improvements |
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Prior to the Asset Sale, the Company reviewed long-lived assets, including intangible and lease assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset might not have been recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used was measured first by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets were considered to be impaired, an impairment loss would be recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset above the fair value of the asset.
Merchants Payable
Prior to the Asset Sale, merchants payable represented the amount of funds due to merchants and was recognized net of commission fees earned by the Company for marketplace transactions and other fees due from merchants. Merchants payable was adjusted for actual and estimated refunds the Company was expected to recover from merchants. The Company remitted funds to merchants on a regular basis.
Operating Lease Obligations
Prior to the Asset Sale, the Company determined if an arrangement was a lease at inception. For leases where the Company was the lessee, right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represented the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the term of the lease and the lease liabilities represented an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Certain lease agreements contained tenant improvement allowances, rent holidays and rent escalation provisions, all of which were considered in determining the ROU assets and lease liabilities. The Company began recognizing rent expense when the lessor made the underlying asset available for use by the Company. Lease liabilities were recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. Lease renewal periods were considered on a lease-by-lease basis in determining the lease term. The interest rate the Company used to determine the present value of future lease payments was the Company’s incremental borrowing rate because the rate implicit in the Company’s leases was not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate was a hypothetical rate for collateralized borrowings in economic environments where the leased asset was located based on credit rating factors. The ROU asset was determined based on the lease liability initially established and adjusted for any prepaid lease payments and any lease incentives received. The lease term to calculate the ROU asset and related lease liability included options to extend or terminate the lease when it was reasonably certain that the Company would exercise the option. Certain leases contained variable costs, such as common area maintenance, real estate taxes or other costs. Variable lease costs were expensed as incurred on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Operating leases were included in the ROU assets, accrued liabilities, and lease liabilities, non-current on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has
Loss Contingencies
The Company is involved in various lawsuits, claims and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a liability for these when it believes it is probable that it has incurred a loss, and the Company can reasonably estimate the loss. If the Company determines that a material loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the Company discloses the possible loss in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The Company regularly evaluates current information to determine whether it should adjust a recognized liability or recognize a new one. Significant judgment is required to determine both the probability and the estimated amount.
Stock-Based Compensation
44
The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards, including restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance-based units (“PSUs”), stock options, and purchase rights issued to employees under its employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”), based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the grant date. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options and ESPP purchase rights and the Monte Carlo Simulation model to estimate the fair value of a PSU. The fair value of RSUs is based on the market closing price for the Company's common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date of grant. The fair value of service-based RSUs and stock options is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which ranges from to
The Company's use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing and Monte Carlo Simulation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the underlying common stock, expected term of the option, expected volatility of the price of our common stock, risk-free interest rates, and the expected dividend yield of our common stock. The assumptions used in these valuation models represent management’s best estimates. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. If factors change and different assumptions are used, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.
The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
Foreign Currency
Prior to the Asset Sale, the functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is the local currency for operating entities with employees and is the U.S. dollar for holding companies and pass-through entities. The assets and liabilities of its non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries were translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the end of each period. Revenue and expenses for its foreign subsidiaries were translated using rates that approximate those in effect during the period. Foreign currency translation adjustments were reflected in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Prior to the Asset Sale, transactions on the Company’s marketplace occurred in various foreign currencies that were processed by its PSPs. These transactions were collected on a regular basis and were converted to U.S. dollars or euros within the short period of time between the recognition of revenue and cash collection on a regular basis, which limited the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk.
Prior to the Asset Sale, the Company held merchants payable, which were denominated primarily in Renminbi (“RMB”) and other local currencies. The Company did not have any merchant payables as of December 31, 2024. The merchants payable amount denominated in RMB was
Transaction gains and losses, including intercompany transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved are included in interest and other income, net on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognized an insignificant net loss resulting from foreign exchange transactions for the year ended December 31, 2024 and a net loss of $
Derivative Instruments
Prior to the Asset Sale, the Company conducted business in certain foreign currencies throughout its worldwide operations, and various entities held monetary assets or liabilities, earned revenues, or incurred costs in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency. As a result, the Company was exposed to foreign exchange gains or losses which impacted the Company’s operating results. As part of the Company’s foreign currency risk mitigation strategy, starting in 2020, the Company had entered into foreign exchange forward contracts with up to
Cash Flow Hedges
45
Prior to the Asset Sale, the Company’s largest cash flow exposure was in RMB for payments made to merchants in China that used the Wish platform. The Company hedged these cash flow exposures to reduce the risk that its earnings and cash flows would be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. The Company recognized changes in fair value of these cash flow hedges of foreign currency denominated merchants payable in accumulated other comprehensive loss in its consolidated balance sheets, until the Company settled its forecasted foreign currency denominated merchants payable. When the forecasted transaction affected earnings, the Company reclassified the related gain or loss on the cash flow hedge to core marketplace revenue. All amounts in other comprehensive income at period end were expected to be reclassified to earnings within 12 months. In the event the underlying forecasted transaction did not occur, or it became probable that it will not occur, the Company reclassified the gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge from accumulated other comprehensive loss to core marketplace revenue.
Non-Designated Hedges
Prior to the Asset Sale, the Company’s derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consisted of foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the impact of currency exchange rate movements on its monetary assets and liabilities. These foreign exchange contracts were carried at fair value with changes in fair value of these contracts recognized to interest and other income, net in the Company’ consolidated statements of operations.
The Company did not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company applies fair value accounting for its financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
|
Level 1— |
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
Level 2— |
Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
|
Level 3— |
Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between consolidated financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. If it is not more likely than not that a position will be sustained, no amount of benefit attributable to the position is recognized. The tax benefit to be recognized of any tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is calculated as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon resolution of the contingency.
It is the Company’s policy to include penalties and interest expense related to income taxes as a component of interest and other income, net as necessary.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss is comprised of two components: net loss and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of unrealized holding gains or losses related to derivative instruments and marketable securities, net of tax, and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed recent accounting pronouncements and concluded as follows:
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires additional segment-related disclosures on an annual and interim basis, to enable investors in developing more informed and actionable analyses. The Company
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation, and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. This guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact this amended guidance may have on the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-01, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards, which clarifies how an entity determines whether a profits interest or similar award is (1) within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification 718 or (2) not a share-based payment arrangement and therefore within the scope of other guidance. This amendment will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. This amended guidance will not have an impact on the footnotes of the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-02, Codification Improvements–Amendments to Remove References to the Concept Statements, which contains amendments to the Codification that remove references to various FASB Concepts Statements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early application is permitted. An entity should apply the amendments in this ASU using one of the following transition methods: 1. Prospectively to all new transactions recognized on or after the date that the entity first applies the amendments 2. Retrospectively the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in which the amendments were first applied. An entity shall adjust the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets in the statement of financial position) as of the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses including the amounts of purchase of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities, and the total amount of selling expenses and an entity's definition of selling expenses. The amendments in this ASU are effective to all public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this amended guidance may have on the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments, which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. The amendments in this ASU are effective to entities that settle convertible debt instruments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in ASU No. 2020-06. This amended guidance will not have an impact on the footnotes of the consolidated financial statements.
3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, marketable securities, funds receivable, derivative instruments, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and merchants payable. Cash equivalents’ carrying value approximates fair value at the balance sheet dates, due to the short period of time to maturity. Marketable securities and derivative instruments are recognized at fair value. Funds receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and merchants payable carrying values approximate fair value due to the short time to the expected receipt or payment date. Following the Asset Sale, the Company no longer has funds receivable, derivative instruments, or merchant payables.
47
Assets and liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets consisting of cash equivalents, marketable securities and derivative instruments are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
48
Financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis and the level of inputs used in such measurements are as follows:

The Company classifies cash equivalents and marketable securities within Level 1 or Level 2 because the Company uses quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs to determine their fair value. The derivative asset and liability related to the Company’s foreign currency derivative contracts are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments in active markets, including currency spot and forward rates.

The Company did not identify any of its available-for-sale marketable securities requiring an allowance for credit loss or as other-than-temporarily impaired in any of the periods presented. Additionally, the unrealized net gain and net loss on available-for-sale marketable securities as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 were immaterial.

Revolving Credit Facility
In November 2020, the Company entered into a
The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary conditions to borrowing, events of default and covenants, including covenants that restrict the Company’s ability (and the ability of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries) to incur indebtedness, grant liens, make certain fundamental changes and asset sales, make distributions to stockholders, make investments or engage in transactions with affiliates. It also contains a minimum liquidity financial covenant of $
At the closing of the Asset Sale on April 19, 2024, the Company terminated the Revolving Credit Facility. At that closing, the Letter of Credit ceased to be issued under the Revolving Credit Facility and was cash collateralized in equal amounts by the Company and the Buyer. Furthermore, the Company's previous headquarters was transferred to the Buyer, which has assumed the Company's obligations under the lease for those headquarters upon closing of the Asset Sale. Refer to Note 4 – Asset Sale for additional information on Asset Sale.

Prior to the Asset Sale, the Company entered into an amendment to a co-location and cloud services arrangement committing the Company to make payments of $
Legal Contingencies and Proceedings
Beginning in May 2021,
In August 2021, a shareholder derivative action purportedly brought on behalf of the Company, Patel v. Szulczewski, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging that the Company’s directors and officers made or caused the Company to make false and/or misleading statements about the Company’s business operations and financial prospects in various public filings. Plaintiff asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse
54
of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, and for contribution under Sections 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act and is seeking monetary damages. This matter is currently stayed. The Company believes this lawsuit is without merit and it intends to vigorously defend it. Based on the preliminary nature of the proceedings in these cases, the Company cannot estimate a range of potential losses at this point in time.
As of December 31, 2024, in the opinion of management, there were no other legal contingency matters that arose in the ordinary course of business, either individually or in aggregate, that would have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. Given the unpredictable nature of legal proceedings, the Company bases its estimate on the information available at the time of the assessment. As additional information becomes available, the Company will reassess the potential liability and may revise the estimate.

2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2010 Plan")
Under the 2010 Plan, the Company granted RSUs to employees, which generally expire
The 2010 Plan was terminated in December 2020 in connection with the Company’s IPO but continues to govern the terms of outstanding awards under the 2010 Plan. No further equity awards will be granted under the 2010 Plan. With the establishment of the 2020 Plan as further discussed below, upon the expiration, forfeiture or cancellation of any stock-based awards granted under the 2010 Plan, an equal number of shares of common stock will become available for grant under the 2020 Plan.

In January 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted and approved the 2022 Plan. The Company intends that the 2022 Plan be reserved for persons to whom the Company may issue securities without stockholder approval as an inducement of employment pursuant to Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Marketplace Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC. The 2022 Plan provides for the award of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, and RSUs of the Company’s common stock to the Company’s employees. Stock-based awards under the 2022 Plan that expire or are forfeited, cancelled, or repurchased generally are returned to the pool of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2022 Plan.

The fair value of options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which takes into account inputs such as the exercise price, the value of the underlying shares as of the grant date, expected term, expected volatility, risk free interest rate, and dividend yield. The fair value of the options was determined using the methods and assumptions discussed below:

There has historically been no federal or state provision for income taxes because the Company has historically incurred operating losses and maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized a provision for income taxes of $
The difference between income taxes computed at the statutory federal income tax rate and the provision for income taxes is attributable to the following:

The tax provision differs from the benefit that would result from applying statutory rates to losses before income taxes primarily due to the valuation allowance provided on net deferred tax assets. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes and (b) net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards.

Due to a history of losses, the Company believes it is not more likely than not that its domestic net deferred tax assets will be realized as of December 31, 2024 or 2023. Accordingly, the Company has established a full valuation allowance on its domestic net deferred tax assets. The Company’s valuation allowance increased $

Utilization of NOL carryforwards may be subject to future annual limitations due to the ownership change limitations provided by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state jurisdictions. The Company will no longer file in foreign jurisdictions as a result of the sale of its foreign subsidiaries in 2024. The Company is not currently under examination by income tax authorities in federal, state, or other jurisdictions. All tax returns remain open for examination by the federal and state authorities for three and four years, respectively, from the date of utilization of any net operating loss or credits. Certain tax years are subject to foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities until the statute of limitations expire.
In recent years the United States has enacted new tax legislation (the American Rescue Act, CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act). Due to the Company’s NOLs for both accounting and tax purposes, the new tax legislation does not have a material impact on the Company’s provision for income taxes.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), with assistance from other members of management, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024, and based on their evaluation, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date at a reasonable assurance level.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on the criteria described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on this assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, was effective. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, has been audited by BPM LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing under "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data".
Remediation of Previously Reported Material Weaknesses
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
As previously reported in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, management identified material weaknesses in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The previously reported material weaknesses related to the failure to: (i) design and maintain an effective control environment commensurate with its financial reporting requirements; and (ii) design and maintain effective controls over information technology general controls (“ITGCs”) for information systems and applications that are relevant to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
The Company reassessed its remediation efforts since the closing of the Asset Sale, given that (i) most of the information technology ("IT") systems were sold to Qoo10 and (ii) the process controls associated with the material weakness in the control environment are no longer applicable to the relatively limited size, scope, and complexity of the Company’s current control environment. As a result, our management has designed a completely new control environment with new IT systems, processes, and controls commensurate with our current ongoing business operations.
The aforementioned measures have been implemented for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the enhanced controls are operating effectively. Management has concluded that the material weaknesses were remediated as of December 31, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the remediation actions to address the previously reported material weaknesses as described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
64
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Due to inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
