The sellers of Boost Run are expected to receive an installment note and newly issued shares of Pubco common stock, as well as potential additional Pubco Class A common stock (Earnout Shares) that may be earned based on the volume-weighted average price of Pubco Class A common stock during a defined earnout period after closing.
