The volume weighted average purchase price for the transactions was $44.23 per share.

The information contained in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to delete the last two paragraphs thereof and supplemented to include the following information: As previously disclosed in this Schedule 13D, Mr. Malone has continued to review his investment in the Issuer on an ongoing basis and, based on various factors, including, without limitation, the Issuer's financial position, the price of shares of Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, Mr. Malone has elected to purchase the additional shares of Common Stock reported herein which resulted in Mr. Malone beneficially holding more than a majority of the voting equity securities of the Issuer. Mr. Malone will continue to monitor such factors and conditions and may, in the future, take such actions with respect to his shares of Common Stock as he deems appropriate, including, without limitation, purchasing additional shares or disposing of all or a portion of the securities of the Issuer owned by him. Because Mr. Malone now beneficially holds more than a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Issuer, the Issuer will be deemed to be a "Controlled Company," as defined in Rule 5615 of the Nasdaq Capital Market. In addition, as a result of Mr. Malone beneficially holding a majority of the voting securities of the Issuer, he maintains the ability, subject to the rules of Major League Baseball and the Voting Agreement, to control, or exert a significant influence over, the board of directors of the Issuer (the "Board") and has significant influence over its affairs, including with respect to the consummation of significant corporate transactions, amendments of the Issuer's articles of incorporation, a merger or other sale of the Issuer or its assets, and all matters requiring shareholder approval. Other than as described above or as described in that certain Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer on August 23, 2024, Mr. Malone does not have any present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (i) any acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or any disposition of securities of the Issuer; (ii) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) any sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (iv) any change in the Board or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any vacancies on the Board; (v) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (vi) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure; (vii) any change in the Issuer's charter or bylaws or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (viii) any delisting from a national securities exchange or any loss of authorization for quotation in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association of a class of securities of the Issuer; (ix) any termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of a class of equity securities of the Issuer; or (x) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
