Material Definitive Agreement regulatory
"Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement."
A material definitive agreement is a legally binding contract that creates major, long‑term obligations or rights for a company, such as loans, asset sales, mergers, or supplier deals. Think of it like a mortgage or lease for a business: it can change future cash flow, risk and control, so investors watch these agreements closely because they can materially affect a company’s value, financial health and stock price.
Extension Amendment financial
"entered into an Extension Amendment (the “Amendment”), effective as of April 1, 2026"
Google Services Agreement financial
"to the Google Services Agreement between Vertro and Google LLC, effective January 1, 2024"
Inline XBRL technical
"104 | | Cover Page Interactive Data File (embedded within the Inline XBRL document)."
Inline XBRL is a file format for financial filings that embeds machine-readable data tags directly inside the human-readable report, so the same document can be read by people and parsed by software. For investors it makes extracting, comparing and verifying financial numbers faster and more reliable—like a grocery list where each item also has a barcode—reducing manual errors and speeding up analysis.
Regulation S-K regulatory
"redacted pursuant to Item 601(b)(10)(iv) of Regulation S-K."
A set of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules that tell public companies which narrative and qualitative details must be disclosed in filings, such as risk factors, management discussion, executive pay, legal proceedings and business description. Think of it as a standardized checklist or blueprint that ensures investors get the same types of background information from every company so they can compare risks, management quality and strategy before making investment decisions.
Emerging growth company regulatory
"Emerging growth company"
An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.
FAQ
What agreement did Inuvo (INUV) extend with Google?
Inuvo’s wholly owned subsidiary Vertro, Inc. entered an Extension Amendment to its existing Google Services Agreement. The amendment continues the relationship under the same overarching contract, which originally became effective January 1, 2024, with updated timing for the current term.
How long is the Inuvo–Google agreement extended under the new amendment?
The Extension Amendment adds three additional months to the current Google Services Agreement term. This short-term extension moves the agreement’s expiration to June 30, 2026, giving Vertro and Google more time under the existing commercial relationship before any further renewal decisions.
When does the amended Google Services Agreement with Inuvo take effect?
The Extension Amendment is effective as of April 1, 2026. Although Vertro and Google signed the amendment on March 31, 2026, the operative changes to the agreement’s term begin April 1 and govern the contract until its new June 30, 2026 expiration date.
What is the new expiration date of Inuvo’s Google Services Agreement?
The amendment sets a new expiration date of June 30, 2026 for the Google Services Agreement. Previously, the contract would have ended earlier, but this three‑month extension keeps the existing relationship in place through the end of June 2026.
Were any parts of the Inuvo–Google amendment redacted in the filing?
Yes. Certain portions of the Extension Amendment were redacted under Regulation S‑K Item 601(b)(10)(iv). Inuvo states the omitted information is not material, is confidential and private, and would likely cause competitive harm if publicly disclosed in full detail.
