As previously announced, on May 24, 2023, Kubient, Inc. (“Kubient”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Adomni, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Adomni”), and ADM Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Kubient (“Merger Sub”).

On November 27, 2023, Kubient delivered to Adomni written notice (the “Termination Notice) of its election to terminate the Merger Agreement, pursuant to Section 9.1(k) thereof. Section 9.1(k) of the Merger Agreement provides that the Merger Agreement may be terminated by Kubient if the Company Audited Financial Statements, as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement, have not been provided by Adomni to Kubient on or prior to the four (4) month anniversary of the date of the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement was terminated in accordance with its terms, effective November 27, 2023.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the text of the Merger Agreement, which was previously filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 30, 2023, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Effective December 1, 2023, Jeannie Mun, Grainne Coen, and Peter Anthony Bordes, Jr. voluntarily resigned from their positions as members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Kubient, Inc. (the “Company”) and its committees. The resignations of Ms. Mun, Ms. Coen and Mr. Bordes did not result from any known disagreements with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices.

In order to fill the vacancies created by the aforementioned resignations, also effective December 1, 2023, the Board appointed Lawrence Harris, an existing member of the Board, to serve as chair of the Board’s audit committee, compensation committee, nominating and corporate governance committee, and special committee.
