PurposeMed, the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group, Providers, and the Pharmacies

Current report

On November 2, 2026, we completed our acquisition (the “PurposeMed Acquisition”) of PurposeMed Inc., a Canadian corporation (“PurposeMed Canada”). PurposeMed Canada and PurposeMed USA Inc. (“PurposeMed USA”) are now our wholly owned subsidiaries (together with their subsidiaries, “PurposeMed” or “Freddie”). PurposeMed operates the Freddie telehealth platform, primarily focusing on access to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (“PrEP”) and related care in the United States and Canada.

Current report

Operations in the U.S. are conducted through PurposeMed USA, and operations in Canada are conducted through PurposeMed Canada. Due to the prohibition on the corporate practice of medicine adopted by many U.S. states, PurposeMed does not practice medicine and does not employ the healthcare providers who deliver clinical services to patients. Instead, PurposeMed USA has contractual arrangements with Freddie USA of NJ PC, a New Jersey professional corporation (the “Affiliated Freddie Medical Group”), to enable the provision of clinical services to patients in the United States, including through relationships with third-party providers. The Affiliated Freddie Medical Group is a separate professional corporation owned solely by a licensed physician. Neither we nor PurposeMed hold any equity interest in the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group. The Affiliated Freddie Medical Group contracts with or employs clinicians (each, a “Provider”) and has contractual arrangements with third-party partners to provide telehealth consultations and related services through the Freddie platform.

Current report

PurposeMed USA has entered into a management services arrangement with the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group. Under this arrangement, PurposeMed USA serves as the administrative services manager for the non-clinical aspects of the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group’s operations in exchange for a fair market value management fee. The Affiliated Freddie Medical Group and its Providers retain sole control of clinical decision-making and the practice of medicine. In Canada, clinical services are provided by clinicians employed by or contracted with PurposeMed Canada in accordance with applicable provincial requirements. PurposeMed USA and PurposeMed Canada also own certain pharmacies (the “Pharmacies”), which are separately licensed, are distinct from the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group, and do not provide clinical services.

Current report

As a result of the PurposeMed Acquisition, we are now subject to the additional risks described below.

Current report

Risks Related to the PurposeMed Acquisition

Current report

We may not realize the anticipated benefits of the PurposeMed Acquisition, and integration may be more difficult, costly, or time-consuming than expected.

Current report

The PurposeMed Acquisition is by far the largest acquisition in our history. Its success depends in part on our ability to integrate PurposeMed’s technology, pharmacy, and administrative operations with our platform, including by connecting the Freddie platform, the clinical services provided by the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group, and the Pharmacies with the Grindr app, building an integrated patient experience, and making PurposeMed’s services the foundation of Grindr Health. It also depends in part on our success in converting Grindr users into patients, retaining those patients in care, and growing PurposeMed’s U.S. business at the rates we expect. These expectations depend on revenue synergies that have not been proven at scale. We may not realize the expected revenue growth, cost efficiencies, margins, cross-selling opportunities, or other benefits within the expected timeframe or at all.

Current report

Integration may be harder than expected for several reasons, including regulatory and privacy restrictions that may limit how we integrate our platform, marketing, and data with PurposeMed, the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group, and the Pharmacies; as well as difficulties related to integrating operations, technology systems, compliance programs, controls, and personnel across two countries while maintaining compliance with the healthcare, privacy, and other laws that now apply to the combined company. Integration may divert management attention from our core business, and the personnel and resources we have dedicated to managing the integration may be insufficient for an integration of this scope and complexity. We may also incur integration costs that are higher than expected, many of which are difficult to estimate accurately, and our expectations about PurposeMed’s financial results rest on projections that may prove inaccurate. The operating efficiencies we expect from combining certain functions, systems, and vendors may take longer to realize, cost more to achieve, or be smaller than we expect. If revenue growth does not materialize as expected, or if costs exceed our expectations, our consolidated margins may remain lower for longer than we anticipate. If we fail to realize the anticipated benefits or if the anticipated benefits are not realized on our anticipated timeline, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and stock price could be materially adversely affected.

Current report

If we are unable to retain PurposeMed’s leadership team and other key personnel, or to successfully integrate our respective organizations and cultures, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of the PurposeMed Acquisition.

Current report

Our success in building Grindr Health depends in significant part on the continued service of PurposeMed’s leadership team, including its co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, and its pharmacy, compliance, payor relations, and engineering personnel, as well as on the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group’s ability to retain its Providers. Many of these individuals have specialized healthcare expertise that we do not otherwise have and that would be difficult and costly to replace. We have entered into employment and retention arrangements with certain of these individuals, but these arrangements may not be effective in retaining them, and the risk of departures may increase after the earn-out period ends at the end of 2027. The loss of key PurposeMed personnel could disrupt patient care, payor and partner relationships, and regulatory compliance, and could delay or prevent our integration plans. We may also lose Grindr employees who are critical to the integration or to our core business.

Current report

In addition, our organizations have different cultures, decision-making processes, approaches to managing risk and to regulatory compliance, and product development functions, and they operate in different countries. If we are unable to integrate our organizations and cultures effectively we may experience lower employee morale and productivity, increased attrition, conflicts over priorities, or lapses in clinical quality or compliance, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Current report

Integrating the Freddie platform and the systems that support the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group and the Pharmacies with the Grindr app is complex, and any failure, delay, or operational gap during the transition could disrupt patient care, expose sensitive health information, or otherwise harm our business.

Current report

To better serve patients of the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group, our integration plans include connecting the Freddie platform, the clinical services provided by the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group, and the Pharmacies with the Grindr app, enabling integrated entry points and an integrated patient experience that allows patients to manage their care through the Grindr app. Integrating systems necessary to support our plans may take longer, cost more, or perform worse than we expect. Integration also requires us to maintain the necessary separation, security, and use of protected health information and other sensitive health data in accordance with HIPAA, U.S. state and Canadian health privacy laws, and our privacy commitments to our users and to patients. Vulnerabilities in PurposeMed or Grindr systems, or in systems used by the

Current report

Affiliated Freddie Medical Group or the Pharmacies, that we did not foresee or that arise as systems are connected, could result in security incidents, regulatory investigations, or litigation.

Current report

In addition, we must maintain uninterrupted operations as ownership changes, including continuity of clinical services and prescription fulfillment, payor and pharmacy benefit manager (“PBM”) network participation, pharmacy and other licenses, and partner and vendor relationships. Certain licenses, payor contracts, and other agreements require notices, approvals, or new filings in connection with a change of ownership, and some of these may not be completed on a timely basis. Any gaps in our operational readiness could interrupt patient care or revenue, result in regulatory or contractual noncompliance, and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Current report

Patients, prospective patients, community partners, payors, and Grindr users may react negatively to the PurposeMed Acquisition or to changes we make to PurposeMed’s services or the Freddie brand, which could result in patient attrition or lower than expected patient acquisition and harm both our healthcare business and our core business.

Current report

PurposeMed’s revenue depends on attracting patients and keeping them in care over time. During and following the integration, patients may stop using PurposeMed’s services because of changes we make or how our ownership is perceived. Existing partners may also terminate, decline to renew, or seek to renegotiate their arrangements with PurposeMed on less favorable terms. Competitors may also use the transition to target patients and partners of the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group.

Current report

Changes we may seek to make to the Freddie brand could weaken its recognition among patients and partners. Associating Grindr with the Freddie brand, and the promotion and integration we may pursue, may also be viewed negatively by some patients, prospective patients, users, advertisers, or regulators, which could reduce user engagement in our core business. If any of these outcomes occurs, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Current report

The PurposeMed Acquisition may expose us to unknown or contingent liabilities, and our indemnification rights and insurance may not be sufficient to cover them.

Current report

PurposeMed may have liabilities that we did not discover in diligence or that we underestimated. These could include liabilities under healthcare, pharmacy, privacy, tax, employment, consumer protection, or professional liability laws, as well as liabilities arising from the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group or the Pharmacies. We may be exposed to liabilities arising from the business’s operations before the PurposeMed Acquisition, including tax liabilities and regulatory or professional liability claims. Our rights to indemnification under the purchase agreement related to the PurposeMed Acquisition and any representations and warranties insurance policy are subject to deductibles, caps, survival periods, and exclusions. They may not cover all losses. Any such liabilities could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Current report

The contingent consideration payable in the PurposeMed Acquisition may cause volatility in our results of operations and may result in disputes.

Current report

We may pay up to $70.0 million in additional cash consideration if PurposeMed achieves specified 2027 performance targets. Any such payment would be made in 2028. We must remeasure this contingent consideration at fair value each reporting period and recognize changes in earnings, which could cause significant fluctuations in our results of operations. Earn-out arrangements may also lead to disputes with former PurposeMed securityholders about how performance metrics are calculated or how the business is operated during the earn-out period. They may also limit our ability to integrate or restructure PurposeMed before the earn-out period ends.

Current report

We may be required to record impairment charges for goodwill and intangible assets recognized in the PurposeMed Acquisition.

Current report

We expect to record significant goodwill and intangible assets in connection with the PurposeMed Acquisition. If PurposeMed’s business underperforms, we may be required to record impairment charges, which could materially affect our results of operations. Underperformance could result from regulatory changes, reimbursement pressure, loss of payor or pharmacy network access, or our inability to execute our integration plans.

Current report

PurposeMed was privately held, and integrating PurposeMed and the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group into our internal control over financial reporting may be difficult.

Current report

Before the PurposeMed Acquisition, PurposeMed was not subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or SEC reporting requirements. The structure of PurposeMed and the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group, including operations across multiple jurisdictions, adds complexity to our financial reporting. Bringing PurposeMed’s controls up to public company standards may require significant resources and could divert management’s time and attention, and, during integration, we may identify control deficiencies, including material weaknesses.

Current report

The issuance of our common stock as consideration in the PurposeMed Acquisition resulted in dilution, and future sales of those shares, including after the lock-up period expires, could depress our stock price.

Current report

We issued 3,851,684 shares of common stock to certain PurposeMed securityholders as part of the PurposeMed Acquisition, which diluted our existing stockholders. These shares are subject to a lock-up that expires on November 2, 2027. After the lock-up expires, all of these shares will be eligible for sale in the public market, subject to any applicable securities law restrictions. Sales of a substantial number of these shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could depress the market price of our common stock and could cause it to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

Current report

Risks Related to Our Healthcare Business

Current report

We have limited experience operating a regulated healthcare business, and our expansion into healthcare subjects us to extensive new laws and regulations, increased enforcement risk, and reputational risk.

Current report

Through PurposeMed, we now provide administrative and technology services to the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group, which provides clinical services to U.S. patients directly or through third-party partners, and we own the Pharmacies, which dispense medications and bill health insurers in the United States and Canada. PurposeMed also coordinates laboratory testing. Through our Woodwork business, we also offer other health and wellness products. These activities are subject to extensive and evolving federal, state, provincial, and local regulation. Our management team has limited experience in these areas. Applicable laws include professional licensure and telehealth laws; prohibitions on the corporate practice of medicine and fee-splitting; pharmacy licensing and dispensing rules; regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) of the medications we offer; fraud and abuse laws; health privacy laws; and laws governing the advertising and promotion of healthcare services and prescription drugs.

Current report

Many of these laws are complex, vary by jurisdiction, and are subject to differing interpretations. They may be adopted, expanded, or reinterpreted with little notice, and there may be laws applicable to our healthcare business that we have not identified. Regulators, payors, or courts may disagree with our interpretations. Noncompliance, or alleged noncompliance, could result in civil, criminal, or administrative penalties, including fines, injunctions, disgorgement, and imprisonment; loss of licenses or payor contracts; recoupments; exclusion from programs; additional reporting and oversight obligations; or required restructuring. Enforcement actions against the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group, the Pharmacies, or our partners could have similar effects on us. If compliance in a jurisdiction becomes overly burdensome, we may stop offering certain services there. New products or services may also subject us to additional laws and licensing requirements.

Current report

Noncompliance could also cause adverse publicity and harm our brand, which is closely tied to the trust of our users. Expanding, integrating, and maintaining our healthcare compliance programs will require significant ongoing investment, and our program may not prevent or detect all violations.

Current report

We depend on our relationship with the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group, which we do not own, to provide clinical services to U.S. patients, and our business would be harmed if that relationship were disrupted or if our arrangements with the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group were found to violate laws prohibiting the corporate practice of medicine or fee-splitting.

Current report

Many states prohibit the corporate practice of medicine. This doctrine generally prohibits business corporations from practicing medicine, employing physicians or other licensed providers, or controlling clinical decisions. Many states also prohibit licensed professionals from splitting professional fees with persons or entities that are not licensed.

Current report

As a result, we do not employ or contract with the Providers who deliver clinical services to U.S. patients. Instead, those services are provided by or through the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group, which we contract with but do not own. PurposeMed USA provides administrative and management services to the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group under a management services arrangement in exchange for a management fee at fair market value. The Affiliated Freddie Medical Group and its Providers retain sole control of clinical decision-making.

Current report

We believe these arrangements comply with applicable law and preserve the exclusive authority of the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group and its Providers over clinical decisions. However, regulators or courts may disagree. Several states have recently enacted or proposed laws that increase scrutiny of, or restrict, arrangements between management companies and professional entities. Some of these laws impose notice and approval requirements for certain transactions.

Current report

If our arrangements were found to violate applicable law, we could be required to restructure or terminate them. We, PurposeMed, the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group, and its Providers could also face fines, license discipline, or other penalties, and we could be prevented from offering services in affected jurisdictions. The risk of these penalties could discourage Providers from working with the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group, and Providers could bring claims against the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group, PurposeMed, or us. We could also be harmed if the physician owner of the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group dies, becomes disabled, loses their license, or breaches their agreements; the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group fails to meet its contractual or regulatory obligations; or we cannot enforce our contractual rights against the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group. In addition, as a New Jersey professional corporation, the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group may be unable to qualify to provide clinical services directly in certain states, and in those states it relies on contractual arrangements with third-party partners. Our business could be harmed if those partners fail to perform, terminate or decline to renew their arrangements, or are found to violate applicable law, or if we cannot establish comparable arrangements in new states.

Current report

If the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group cannot recruit and retain qualified Providers, or if telehealth laws become more restrictive, the ability of patients of the Affiliated Freddie Medical Group to access care could be impaired.

Previous report

We may not be able to successfully implement our new product and services roadmap, which could adversely impact our business, financial conditions or results of operations.

Previous report

We are continually evaluating the changing consumer, market, and competitive environment of the community we serve and seeking to improve our performance by implementing a comprehensive and competitive business strategy addressing the needs and wants of our user base. Our product strategy continued to advance in the first half of 2026 and we expect to continue to launch a number of new products and services to some, if not all, users. There is no guarantee that our investment in new products and services, new features, feature innovations, and other initiatives will succeed or generate revenue or other benefits for us. New or innovative products, services, and features may provide temporary increases in engagement that may ultimately fail to attract and retain users over time such that they may not produce the long-term benefits that we expect. We may also introduce new products, services, features, terms of service, or policies and seek to find new, effective ways to show our community new and existing products and services and alert them to events and opportunities to connect that our users do not like. If our new or enhanced brands, products and services, or product extensions fail to engage users or marketing partners, or if our business plans are unsuccessful, we may fail to attract or retain users or to generate sufficient revenue, operating margin, or other value to justify our investments, any of which may materially adversely affect our business.

Previous report

Entering into new types or lines of business requires significant management attention, may disrupt our existing business, exposes us to new legal and regulatory requirements, and may fail to produce the benefits and synergies we anticipate. Furthermore, assumptions underlying expected financial results or consumer demand and receptivity may not be met or economic or consumer conditions may deteriorate. We also may be unable to engage with partners of choice or engage on terms favorable to us in order to implement our strategic initiatives. Any of our partners may not perform their obligations as expected or may breach or terminate their agreements with us. The failure of our partners to meet their obligations, comply with legal requirements, adequately deploy resources or to satisfactorily resolve disputes with us could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If these or other factors limit our ability to successfully execute our strategic initiatives, our business activities, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected.

Previous report

In 2025 we also began offering new products to serve the health and wellness needs of our users and expect to continue to expand these offerings and available products in the future. Products and services in health and wellness, including any new products or services we may offer, may subject us to increased regulation and costly compliance efforts. For additional information on certain of the risks associated with our health and wellness services and products see “—Risks Related to Regulation and Litigation—Compounded drug products and dietary supplements offered through our platform are subject to extensive regulation, which may expose us to fines, penalties, seizures and injunctions under the

Previous report

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) and its implementing regulations.” and “—Risks Related to Regulation and Litigation—We and our partners are subject to extensive federal and state healthcare laws and regulations (in addition to the FDCA and FDA regulations) in the operation of our health and wellness services and may be subject to fines, penalties, and injunctions if we or our partners are found to be in violation of any of such laws and regulations.”

Previous report

In recent years, there has been an increase in attention to and regulation of data protection and data privacy across the globe, including in the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom. For example, we are subject to the GDPR; the UK GDPR (i.e., the GDPR as it continues to form part of the law of the United Kingdom by virtue of section 3 of the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and subsequently amended); the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, “CCPA”); and the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (“LGPD”). These laws impose strict requirements for processing personal data and impose significant fines for violations. For example, LGPD penalties may include fines of up to 2% of the organization’s revenue in Brazil in the previous year or 50 million reais (approximately $9.3 million U.S. dollars); and, under the GDPR and the UK GDPR, we may be subject to fines of up to €20 million/£17,500,000 or up to 4% of the total worldwide annual group turnover of the preceding financial year (whichever is higher), as well as face claims from individuals based on the GDPR and UK GDPR’s private right of action. Other comprehensive data privacy or data protection laws or regulations have been passed or are under consideration in other jurisdictions, including India and Japan, as well as various U.S. states. Laws such as these give rise to an increasingly complex set of compliance obligations on us, as well as on many of the third parties with whom we work. These obligations include, without limitation, imposing restrictions on our ability to gather personal data, providing individuals with the ability to opt out of certain personal data processing, imposing obligations on our ability to sell or share data with others, and potentially subject us to fines, lawsuits, and regulatory scrutiny, any of which may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Previous report

The GDPR and the UK GDPR include obligations and restrictions concerning the consent and rights of individuals to whom personal data relates, the transfer of personal data out of the EEA and the United Kingdom, security breach notifications, and the security and confidentiality of personal data more generally, including more stringent requirements for personal data classified as “sensitive.” In addition, individuals have a right to compensation under the GDPR and the UK GDPR for financial or non-financial losses.

Previous report

To the extent we are determined or alleged to have been or be out of compliance with the GDPR, UK GDPR or e-Privacy legislation, such determination or allegation could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Previous report

Because we do not have a main establishment in the European Union, we are subject to inquiries from any of the EEA and UK data protection regulators. Over the last few years, we have received and responded to inquiries from the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (“NDPA”), the Spanish Data Protection Authority, the Slovenian Data Protection Authority, the Greek Data Protection Authority, and the Austrian Data Protection Authority, among other non-EU data protection authorities, including the ICO. For example, in February 2026 we paid a NOK 65,000,000 fine (the equivalent of approximately $6,465,000 using the exchange rate as of December 31, 2025) based on a 2021 decision of the NDPA.

Previous report

These types of proceedings have caused us to incur significant expense, and we have been the subject of negative publicity. The existence of the Norway proceeding and the potential for similar proceedings has negatively impacted, and may again in the future negatively impact, our efforts to retain existing users and add new users and deteriorate our relationships with advertisers and other third parties.

Previous report

Additionally, we may face class action or similar group litigation in certain European jurisdictions, where legal frameworks and collective redress mechanisms allow large groups of plaintiffs to bring claims against companies for alleged violations of laws or regulations. Although class action lawsuits are less common in Europe compared to the United States, some EU countries have seen a rise in collective actions, particularly in areas like consumer protection, data privacy, and competition law. Notably, the transposition of Directive (EU) 2020/1828 across EU Member States has established or enhanced the framework for collective redress, enabling qualified entities like noyb (the European Center for Digital Rights) to represent groups of plaintiffs in data protection-related claims throughout the European Union. As a result, we could face significant legal and financial exposure, including reputational harm and substantial legal defense costs, even if we ultimately prevail in such actions. Additionally, as the legal and regulatory landscape for collective claims in Europe continues to evolve, our risk of exposure to such litigation may increase in the future. For example, in April 2025 we were served with proceedings in the English High Court, which proceedings were originally issued in April 2024, brought by a UK law firm on behalf of over 10,000 alleged Grindr users from a period between 2009 and 2020 alleging unlawful processing of their personal data in breach of UK data protection laws and misuse of their private information. The claimants’ legal representatives have asserted that claimants may be entitled to damages of between £1,000 or £10,000, or more. Grindr denies liability.

Previous report

In addition, the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union (“Brexit”) and ongoing developments in the United Kingdom could result in the application of new data privacy and protection laws and standards to our activities in the United Kingdom and our handling of personal data of users located in the United Kingdom. The relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union in relation to certain aspects of data protection law remains unclear, and it is unclear how UK data protection laws and regulations will develop in the medium to longer term. For example, the Data Use and Access Act 2025 introduced certain changes to the UK GDPR, including in relation to the use of cookies for statistical and analytics purposes, and through the introduction of certain “recognised” legitimate interests for which a legitimate interests assessment is not required. As a consequence of Brexit, we are exposed to two parallel regimes (the GDPR and the UK GDPR), each of which potentially authorizes similar, but separate, fines and other potentially divergent enforcement actions for the same alleged violations.

Previous report

In connection with the operation of our Woodwork business we have partnered with third parties and process health-related information on their behalf and are thus subject to the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, and its implementing regulations (collectively, “HIPAA”) and other applicable U.S. health data protection and privacy laws. If we fail to comply with applicable laws or experience a data breach or other security incident, we could be subject to claims, investigations, enforcement actions, or litigation. If insurance coverage or the contractual indemnification we have is insufficient to satisfy claims made against us, the claims could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Previous report

Moreover, we may become subject to stringent data localization or transfer requirements, particularly for any data transfer from Europe and other jurisdictions to the United States or other countries, and we may be required to review and amend the legal mechanisms by which we make available or transfer personal data with third parties. As supervisory authorities issue further guidance on data export mechanisms, we could suffer additional costs, complaints, and/or regulatory investigations or fines if our compliance efforts are not deemed sufficient. In addition, if we are unable to transfer personal data between and among countries, it could affect the manner in which we provide our products and services or the location or segregation of our systems and operations, and adversely affect our financial results. In the event any court blocks direct collection of personal data or personal data transfers to or from a particular jurisdiction, this could give rise to operational interruption in the performance of services for customers, greater costs to implement permissible alternative data transfer mechanisms, regulatory liabilities, or reputational harm and negative publicity. Failure to comply with the evolving interpretation of data privacy and data protection laws could subject us to liability, and to the extent that we need to alter our business model or practices to adapt to these obligations, or to respond to further inquiries regarding our compliance with privacy and data protection laws, we could incur additional and significant expenses, which may in turn materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Justice issued a rule entitled the Preventing Access to U.S. Sensitive Personal Data and Government-Related Data by Countries of Concern or Covered Persons, which places additional restriction on certain data transactions involving countries of concern (e.g., China, Russia, Iran) and covered persons (i.e., individuals and entities who are designated as such by the U.S. Attorney General or considered “foreign persons” and are majority owned by, organized under the laws of, a primary resident in, or a contractor of, a covered person or country of concern, as applicable) that may impact certain business activities such as vendor engagements, sale or sharing of data, employment of certain individuals, and investor agreements. Violations of the rule could lead to significant civil and criminal fines and penalties. The rule applies regardless of whether data is anonymized, key-coded, pseudonymized, de-identified or encrypted, and may impact our ability to engage in certain transactions or agreements.

Previous report

Compounded drug products and dietary supplements offered through our platform are subject to extensive regulation, which may expose us to fines, penalties, seizures and injunctions under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) and its implementing regulations.

Previous report

In May 2025 we launched Woodwork by Grindr, a telehealth service that facilitates access to health care professionals employed by our partners who may, for eligible patients, make treatments available and prescribe certain medications, including, but not limited to, controlled substances and compounded medications, for erectile dysfunction, weight loss, low testosterone, vitality, muscle gain, and energy, through third-party pharmacy partners. Certain of these products are compounded drug products under Section 503A of the FDCA, which provides for certain FDA exemptions, including those that require premarket approval and labeling that bears with adequate directions for use. To market our products under these exemptions, we must comply with all Section 503A requirements.

Previous report

Section 503A permits compounding by a licensed pharmacist or physician of a drug that is not “essentially a copy” of a commercially available FDA-approved drug based on the receipt of a valid prescription for an individual patient. 503A pharmacies are not subject to cGMP requirements. Compounding under 503A is primarily regulated by state pharmacy laws and regulations governing pharmacy operations. These laws and regulations often include specific requirements for compounding operations, including requirements for licensing of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacies; supervision and training; inspections; sterility assurance; and recordkeeping, among other requirements. Regulations are updated periodically, generally under the jurisdiction of individual state boards of pharmacy. Failure to comply with the state pharmacy regulations of a particular state could result in a pharmacy being prohibited from operating in that state, financial penalties, and/or becoming subject to additional oversight from that state’s board of pharmacy. In addition, many states are considering imposing, or have already begun to impose, more stringent requirements on compounding operations. If insurance coverage or contractual indemnification we have is insufficient to satisfy claims made against us, the claims could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Previous report

Compounding pharmacies subject to Section 503A of the FDCA and outsourcing facilities subject to Section 503B of the FDCA have recently been subject to increased scrutiny of their compounding activities by the FDA and state regulatory agencies. A governmental inquiry or action or litigation could be brought against us, our third-party telehealth provider, or the dispensing compounding pharmacy. In such a case, we may experience negative publicity and reputational harm, and additional expense required to respond to the injury, action, or litigation. Manufacturers of FDA-approved GLP-1 medications have brought private actions against compounders and outsourcing facilities, as well as prescribers of compounded medications, including against med-spas, medical practices, and telehealth providers. Similar litigation could be filed against us. Additionally, many FDA-approved GLP-1 medications have protected intellectual property, for example, related to their formulations and methods of use that other parties may use. The parties that own this intellectual property may file claims against us for infringement and other claims relating to their intellectual property, which could result in adverse judgments including fines or equitable relief, and adversely affect our ability to effectively compete.

Previous report

While we believe the compounded drug products available through our platform satisfy Section 503A of the FDCA, and therefore are exempted from many regulatory requirements, if the FDA were to determine that such drugs do not satisfy Section 503A, FDA would have to approve a new drug application for the drugs currently dispensed by the 503A facility before they could be lawfully sold or otherwise distributed in interstate commerce. Failure to comply with Section 503A or obtain FDA approval to market the drugs could result in an enforcement action, including injunction, seizure, civil fine, and criminal penalties, or the issuance of an FDA warning or untitled letter. Other federal and state enforcement authorities might also take action against us if they determine that compounded drug products available through our platform or the advertisements or promotional activities of such products do not meet applicable legal or regulatory requirements.

The FDA or other federal, state, or foreign enforcement authorities may also take action if they determine our health and wellness services, related products, and promotional activities do not meet applicable legal requirements. For example, as part of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission’s Strategy Report, the current Administration signaled an initiative to tighten controls over direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising, with a particular focus on social media and digital platforms. In September 2025, the FDA announced that it had dispatched thousands of letters warning pharmaceutical companies to remove misleading ads, and in March 2026, the FDA announced the issuance of 30 warning letters to telehealth companies for making false or misleading claims regarding compounded GLP-1 products on their websites. Moreover, in February 2026, the FDA issued a statement indicating that the agency intends to restrict GLP-1 active pharmaceutical ingredients intended for use in non-FDA-approved compounded drugs that are being mass-marketed as similar alternatives to FDA-approved drugs.

In addition, Woodwork markets dietary supplements, which are subject to regulation by the FDA under the FDCA, as amended by the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (“DSHEA”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder. These laws and regulations govern, among other things, product formulation, manufacturing, labeling, packaging, storage, distribution, marketing claims, and recordkeeping. Although DSHEA permits dietary supplements to make certain substantiated structure/function claims, dietary supplements generally may not be marketed with claims to diagnose, mitigate, treat, cure, or prevent disease without being regulated as drugs. FDA regulations applicable to dietary supplements also impose cGMP requirements intended to ensure the quality of dietary supplements and the accuracy of their labeling. Regulatory or enforcement actions by the FDA or other federal or state authorities could harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Further, the Administration’s enforcement priorities and policies under the FDCA and its implementing regulations are subject to change at any time. Shifts in these policies and any resulting regulatory or enforcement actions by federal or state agencies could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Previous report

We and our partners are subject to extensive federal and state healthcare laws and regulations (in addition to the FDCA and FDA regulations) in the operation of our health and wellness services and may be subject to fines, penalties, and injunctions if we or our partners are found to be in violation of any of such laws and regulations.

Previous report

The products and services we offer in connection with Woodwork currently and may in the future offer as we expand our health and wellness initiative and our arrangements with third-parties in carrying out these services expose us to broadly applicable federal and state fraud and abuse and other healthcare laws and regulations, including anti-kickback, self-referral, health information privacy and security, state corporate practice of medicine, fee-splitting, and professional licensing restrictions and standards.

Previous report

In certain jurisdictions, the corporate practice of medicine (“CPOM”) doctrine generally prohibits non-physicians from practicing medicine, employing physicians to provide clinical services, or otherwise exercising undue influence or control over medical decisions of physicians, among other things. Many states also limit the extent to which nurse practitioners and physician assistants can practice independently. Additionally, the practice of medicine is subject to various federal, state, and local certification and licensing laws, regulations, approvals and standards, relating to, among other things, the qualifications of the provider, the practice of medicine (including specific requirements when providing health care utilizing telehealth technologies and the provision of remote care), the continuity and adequacy of medical care, the maintenance of medical records, the supervision of personnel, and the prerequisites for prescribing medication and ordering of tests.

Previous report

Through our Woodwork business, we are now associated with, and may in the future become associated with, third-party telehealth providers or equivalent entities (“Affiliated Telehealth Providers”), including OpenLoop. We are dependent on our relationships with Affiliated Telehealth Providers, which we do not own or control, and our business would be adversely affected if those relationships were disrupted. We and the Affiliated Telehealth Providers may suffer losses or reputational harm from medical malpractice liability, professional liability or other claims against the healthcare professionals employed by, or contracting with, Affiliated Telehealth Providers. Affiliated Telehealth Providers may provide inappropriate medical treatment, fail to follow procedures or guidelines, engage in services outside the scope of their practice, or engage in unprofessional conduct or other activities that could lead to claims, significant defense costs, reputational harm, negative publicity, increased scrutiny by regulators and payors, or other risks, which may adversely affect our business. We and/or the Affiliated Telehealth Providers may be unable to obtain or maintain adequate insurance against these claims. Healthcare professionals providing telehealth services have become subject to a number of lawsuits alleging malpractice and some of these lawsuits may involve large claims and significant defense costs. It is possible that these claims could also be asserted against us and potential litigation may include us as an additional defendant. Any suits against us, or Affiliated Telehealth Providers, if successful, could result in substantial damage awards to the claimants that may exceed the limits of any applicable insurance coverage. Although we do not control the practice of telehealth by the Affiliated Telehealth Providers, it could be asserted that we should be held liable for malpractice of a healthcare professional employed or contracted by a Affiliated Telehealth Providers.

In addition, regulation of telehealth is evolving, and the application, interpretation and enforcement of laws, regulations and standards with respect to telehealth can be uncertain or uneven. Further, any compensation arrangement with our healthcare partners must be structured to comply with applicable state anti-kickback and self-referral restrictions. At present time, we offer any health and wellness services as cash-pay only. To the extent that we expand our health and wellness offerings to include reimbursement from third-party payors, we may become subject to additional federal and state healthcare laws, such as the federal Anti-Kickback Statute. It is possible that governmental authorities will conclude that our business practices may not comply with current or future healthcare statutes, regulations or related case law. If our operations are found to be in violation of any of these laws or regulations, we could be required to curtail or restructure our operations, and we could be subject to significant regulatory and/or legal enforcement actions, including injunctions, seizures, imprisonment, disgorgement, exclusion from participation in healthcare programs, additional reporting obligations and oversight obligations, civil fines, and criminal penalties.

Previous report

Any regulatory or legal enforcement actions by federal or state enforcement authorities against us or our partners could harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our and our partners’ business, financial condition, and results of operations. Further, these healthcare laws are subject to change at any time. Any changes in these laws may adversely affect our and our partners’ business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We are subject to laws within and outside of the United States that impose strict requirements for processing personal data and significant penalties for non-compliance. Our actual or perceived failure to comply with such laws has in the past harmed our business, and could continue to harm our business in the future.

Current wording

The PurposeMed Acquisition significantly increases the volume, sensitivity, and complexity of the data we hold, which could exacerbate the data privacy, data security, and data governance risks we already face. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Brand, Products and Services, and Operations—Concerns relating to our products and services and the use of user information could negatively impact our user base or user engagement, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations,” “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Information Technology Systems, Artificial Intelligence, and Intellectual Property—Security breaches, unauthorized access to or disclosure of our data or user data, other hacking and phishing attacks affecting our information technology systems or those of third parties with whom we work, or other data security incidents could compromise sensitive information related to our business or users processed by us or on our behalf and expose us to liability, which could harm our reputation, disrupt the availability of our systems and services, generate negative publicity, and materially and adversely affect our business,” “—Our success depends, in part, on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of third-party systems and infrastructures, and any security incidents, including undetected errors or vulnerabilities, security breaches, or unauthorized access, could materially and adversely affect our business,” and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Regulation and Litigation—We and the third parties with whom we work are subject to varying and rapidly evolving regulatory frameworks on data privacy and data protection, and our (or the third parties with whom we work) actual or perceived failure to comply with such new or evolving regulations has in the past harmed our business and could continue to result in claims, changes to our business practices, damages or monetary penalties, increased cost of operations, or declines in user growth or engagement, any of which could materially harm our business” in the 2025 Form 10-K, and “Risk Factors—We are subject to laws within and outside of the United States that impose strict requirements for processing personal data and significant penalties for non-compliance.
