On February 2, 2026, Brian Burns, Jr. was appointed to the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Newegg Commerce, Inc. (the “Company” or “Newegg”). Mr. Burns was nominated to serve on the Board by Vladimir Galkin, who is a significant shareholder of Newegg. Mr. Burns’ nomination was approved unanimously by the Board. To the Company’s knowledge, there is no agreement or arrangement between Mr. Galkin, Mr. Burns, or any other person relating to Mr. Burns’ appointment to the Board. However, procedurally, Mr. Burns is one of four Board appointees that Digital Grid (Hong Kong) Technology Co., Limited, is entitled to make to the Board pursuant to Article 8.1(ii) of the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.

 

Mr. Burns, age 61, is currently the Chief Financial Officer of HUBX, LLC, a company that operates a business-to-business marketplace for consumer electronics.
