Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On October 18, 2022, Leafly Holdings, Inc. (“Leafly”) issued a press release announcing its preliminary financial results and guidance for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022. The full text of the press release issued in connection with the announcement is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Item 2.02 and in the accompanying Exhibit 99.1 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

On October 18, 2022, the Company committed to a restructuring plan (the “Restructuring Plan”), which is intended to support its strategic plan in an effort to improve operating performance and ensure that the Company is appropriately structured and resourced to deliver sustainable value to its customers and shareholders. Key activities under the Restructuring Plan include a focus on efficiency and cost-saving efforts, which includes decreasing, through attrition and layoffs, total headcount by approximately 56 employees upon the completion of the Restructuring Plan. These activities are expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2022.

The Company currently estimates it will incur cash pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $0.5 million, primarily in the fourth quarter of 2022, as a result of the Restructuring Plan, comprised primarily of one-time severance and other employee-related termination benefits. Estimated amounts are subject to change until finalized.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements regarding activities expected to be undertaken and costs expected to be incurred in connection with the Restructuring Plan. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “forecast,” “opportunity,” “outlook,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions (including the negative versions of such words or expressions).

Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions as of the date of this report and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements.

Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this report, including but not limited to the size, demands and growth potential of the markets for Leafly’s products and services and Leafly’s ability to serve those markets; the impact of worldwide economic conditions, including the resulting effect on consumer spending at local businesses and the level of advertising spending by local businesses; and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by Leafly with the SEC on March 31, 2022 and in the other documents filed by Leafly from time to time with the SEC.

These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Leafly assumes no obligation and, except as required by law, does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Leafly does not give any assurance that it will achieve its expectations.
