Item 8.01.    Other Events
Settlement in Principle

As previously disclosed, in the second quarter of 2022, the Board received an internal complaint regarding the calculation, definition and reporting of the Company’s monthly active users (“MAUs”) metric. In response, the Board formed a special committee of independent directors to conduct an internal investigation with the assistance of outside counsel. As a result of the findings of that internal investigation, the Company provided certain additional information regarding the growth and nature of the Company’s previously-reported MAUs in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 filed with the SEC on August 9, 2022. This investigation found no impact on the Company’s financial results under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) or the reporting or disclosure of any currently disclosed non-GAAP financial metric. As also previously reported, in the third quarter of 2022, the Company determined not to report MAUs going forward. In August 2022, the Board determined to voluntarily report the internal complaint and subsequent internal investigation to the SEC, following which the SEC’s Division of Enforcement commenced an investigation. The Company has been fully cooperating with that investigation.

On July 22, 2024, the Company reached an agreement in principle with the SEC staff to resolve the SEC staff’s investigation with respect to the Company. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company would consent, without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings, to the entry of an administrative cease-and-desist order finding violations of Sections 17(a)(2) and (3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Sections 13(a) and 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-11, 13a-13, and 14a-9 thereunder, and would pay a civil money penalty of $1,500,000. This agreement is subject to mutual agreement on the language of the settlement documents and then approval by the SEC. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the settlement will be consummated or approved on the terms set forth above or at all.
