Summary of Risk Factors Our business involves significant risks and you are urged to carefully consider the risks discussed under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K prior to making an investment in our common stock. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following: • Our business primarily depends on business formations. • Our business depends substantially on our customers expanding their use of our platform, including our transactional customers converting to subscribers and our subscribers renewing their subscriptions with us. • Failure to effectively manage our growth could adversely impact our business. • Our future quarterly results of operations may fluctuate significantly due to a wide range of factors, which makes our future results difficult to predict. • We have a history of net losses and we may not be able to maintain profitability. • If we fail to provide high-quality products and services that meet our customers’ expectations, we may not be able to attract and retain customers. • If we do not continue to innovate and provide a platform that is useful to our customers, we may not remain competitive, and our results of operations could suffer. • The legal solutions market is highly competitive and our failure to effectively compete successfully could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects. ii Table of Contents • Our business depends on our brand and reputation, which could be adversely affected by numerous factors. • We are incorporating artificial intelligence into some of our offerings, which may present compliance risks and reputational risks. • If our marketing efforts are unsuccessful, our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects may be adversely affected. • We depend on top talent, including our senior management team, to grow and operate our business, and if we are unable to hire, retain or motivate our employees, we may not be able to grow or operate effectively, which may adversely affect our business and future prospects. • Our business and success depend in part on our strategic relationships with third parties, including our partner ecosystem, and our business may be harmed if we fail to maintain or expand these relationships. • Our reliance on third-party providers could adversely affect our business. • The acquisition of Formation Nation and any future acquisitions or investments may divert management’s attention, result in additional dilution or adversely affect our operating results. • If we are unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our common stock may decline. • Our business and services subject us to complex and evolving U.S. and foreign laws and regulations and any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with applicable laws and regulations may subject us to regulatory inquiries, claims, suits, and prosecutions, as well as changes in our service offerings, potential liabilities, or additional costs.

Business Overview LegalZoom is a leading online platform for legal services, transforming how individuals and small businesses navigate the legal system. By combining intuitive technology with access to experienced attorneys—whether through our vast independent attorney network or our own law firm—we offer the tools and guidance people need to confidently manage everything from business formation and compliance to intellectual property protection and ongoing business management and legal support. Our ongoing business management services include virtual mail, legal forms, bookkeeping and estate planning services, among others. We operate across all 50 states and in over 3,000 counties in the U.S. With over two decades of experience and millions of customers served, LegalZoom helps individuals and small businesses navigate legal needs with confidence. In February 2025, we acquired Formation Nation, Inc., or Formation Nation, a small business service company. Formation Nation provides services ranging from white-glove business formation and compliance offerings under its Nevada Corporate Headquarters (NCH) business to low-cost business formations under its flagship Inc Authority brand. Our Customers and Solutions As of June 30, 2025. there were over 36 million U.S. small businesses in operation, and millions of new small businesses are formed in the U.S. every year. Many small businesses operate without forming a legal entity, unintentionally introducing financial risk to the owners’ personal assets. The businesses that recognize that risk upfront often struggle to address it. Once they understand the need to be protected, they often do not know what to do, where to turn or how much it will cost to get help. Further, even when formed properly, small businesses often fail to comply with ongoing compliance requirements, thereby reintroducing personal liability or facing significant financial and operational risk. Per the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Small Business Index (Q4 2025), 44% of small businesses say that compliance requirements make it harder to grow their business. Our solutions aim to simplify these complex legal and regulatory tasks, remove friction, and enable small business owners to focus on running and growing their businesses. We aim to service a broad range of small business owners, from first-time formers to seasoned small business owners. We provide a mix of transaction and subscription offerings relevant for new and existing small businesses to solve their legal, compliance and business management needs. Our services range from technology-enabled do-it-yourself, or DIY, offerings to emerging full-service do-it-for-me, or DIFM, solutions led by concierge managers and attorneys. Our small business customers’ initial purchase is typically a business formation product that streamlines the process of starting a business. After business formation, we aim to deepen our relationship with our customers by providing ongoing legal, compliance and business management support throughout the lifecycle of their business. For example, our customers can purchase a legal advisory subscription to receive additional legal support for their small business needs, subscribe to our compliance concierge offering for complete management of business compliance requirements, or complete a one-time transaction to register their company name and/or logo as a trademark. The recurring revenue gained through subscription services and additional purchases from existing customers during the lifecycle of their business allows us to increase customer lifetime value. For the year ended December 31, 2025, approximately 65% of our revenue was derived from subscriptions. See below under “ Our Products and Services ” for additional information regarding our transaction products and subscription offerings. We believe we earn our customers’ trust and drive significant organic traffic through our brand name recognition and reputation. Our small business customers’ initial purchase is typically a business formation product that streamlines the process of starting a business. As of December 31, 2025, we had formed over 5.0 million businesses since our inception. Our position at business formation gives us unparalleled knowledge of our customers’ needs, oftentimes prior to the business being operational or discoverable by other service providers. We leverage this valuable knowledge and our position as a small business’ first advisor to introduce our customers to the most relevant business solutions to help them manage other aspects of their business. We are also beginning to expand our customer funnel to reach current small business owners who are not yet a part of the LegalZoom ecosystem. As of June 30, 2025, there were approximately 36 million U.S. existing small businesses who were required to remain compliant with federal and state laws in order to remain operational and we can help them mitigate the risk, cost and time invested in managing these requirements. 2 Our Platform, Experts and Human Support As more businesses are created, the need for a trusted legal and compliance partner only grows, and we believe that our combination of technology and human assistance helps our customers stay compliant, protected, and confident over time. Our technology platform. Our technology platform combines the power of technology, artificial intelligence, or AI, and human expertise to demystify and simplify complicated processes, creating user-friendly experiences for our customers. Our proprietary technology, including AI-enabled workflow and decisioning tools, enables us to automate many complex legal and compliance processes and offer solutions at transparent, Item 1A.

Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (cover, table of contents, business overview, forward‑looking statements, summary risk factors and disclosure of material corporate facts such as shares outstanding and market value of non‑affiliate holdings).
This excerpt is only the cover page/header of Sleep Number’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 4, 2026. It contains filing metadata (issuer, ticker, exchange, address) but no financial statements, MD&A, guidance, risks, or operational commentary. As a result, it is not directly actionable for trading beyond confirming the filing exists.
The provided excerpt is only the cover/filing header of SoundHound AI, Inc.’s 10‑Q for the quarter ended 2026‑03‑31. It contains listing/security identifiers (SOUN, SOUNW) but no financial statements, MD&A, guidance, risk updates, liquidity details, or material events. As a result, there is insufficient information to form high-confidence, actionable bullish/bearish theses beyond generic “company filed its 10‑Q” metadata.
The provided excerpt is only the boilerplate cover/filing-status section of Teucrium Commodity Trust’s Form 10‑Q for period ended 2026‑03‑31, with no portfolio holdings, performance, risk, or material updates included. As-is, it contains no actionable investment information beyond confirming the existence of the filing and the issuer/ticker identity (WEAT).
The provided excerpt is only the cover/header portion of Archer Aviation’s Form 10‑Q for the quarter ended 2026‑03‑31 (issuer identity, exchange listing, and securities outstanding). It contains no operating/financial results, guidance, liquidity details, backlog, or risk-factor updates—so it is minimally actionable for trading beyond basic security identifiers and a generic dilution/optionality consideration from warrants.
This excerpt is essentially the cover page of CleanSpark, Inc.’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. It contains identifiers (CIK/file no.), listing venue, and security descriptions (common stock and redeemable warrants with specific exercise terms), but no operating/financial results, guidance, risks, or MD&A detail. Actionability is therefore limited to capital-structure/dilution considerations around the listed warrant.
This excerpt of AST SpaceMobile’s 10‑Q is largely SEC cover-page/boilerplate (registrant info, exchange listing, filing compliance) and contains no financial results, guidance, liquidity, risk-factor updates, or operating metrics. As provided, it does not create a clear tradable catalyst beyond confirming continued reporting/listing status.
This excerpt only includes the cover page of Super Micro Computer, Inc.’s Form 10‑Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. It confirms the filing, issuer identity, listing (Nasdaq), and ticker (SMCI), but contains no financial results, guidance, risks, or MD&A content to support a directional investment view.
The provided text is only the cover/header portion of AbCellera Biologics Inc.’s Form 10‑Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 (identifying info, exchange listing, filing status). It contains no financial statements, guidance, risk updates, material events, MD&A, cash runway, pipeline/program updates, or disclosures that would support a differentiated trading view.
