EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
On May 11, 2021, Bridgeline Digital, Inc. (“Bridgeline”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Svanaco, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“Svanaco”), Svanawar, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“Svanawar,” and together with Svanaco, “Sellers”), and Hawk Search Inc., an Illinois corporation (“Hawk Search”). The Purchase Agreement provided for an Earnout (i) based on the achievement of certain future financial targets and (ii) estimated by Bridgeline at approximately $2,600,000.  In consideration of payment of the Earnout approximately six months earlier than the Earnout Payment Date and settlement of a Working Capital Adjustment (approximately $200,000 in favor of Bridgeline), the Parties have agreed to a payment of approximately $2,000,000 that reflects both a discount to the Earnout and the Working Capital Adjustment. Terms used in this Form 8-K without definition are defined in the Purchase Agreement. See Bridgeline’s Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on May 12, 2021 for a description of the material terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement.
