Key Operational Highlights

• On March 21, 2024, MGO assigned its rights and obligations under its global license agreement with Leo Messi Management ("LLM") to Centric Brands, LLC ("Centric"), a global leading lifestyle brand collective, in a transaction that resulted in Centric paying MGO $2 million in cash and assuming the obligation to pay 1.5 million Euros in aggregate royalty payments to LMM in accordance with the terms of the license agreement. The Company has reflected The Messi Store business' historical results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 as discontinued operations in its consolidated financial statements for the periods presented.

• On June 18, 2024, MGO signed a definitive Business Combination Agreement with Heidmar, Inc. ("Heidmar"), a Greece-based single platform aggregator of maritime services for the drybulk, crude oil and refined petroleum product tanker industry with a unique and proven asset light business model that delivered $19.6 million of net income in 2023. Heidmar currently has more than 60 vessels under management, including drybulk, crude oil and refined petroleum product tankers with an aggregate capacity of approximately 8.3 million deadweight tons.

• On July 18, 2024, the Company effected a reverse stock split at a 1-for-10 ratio in its efforts to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement for continued listing.

Maximiliano Ojeda, Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO of MGO, stated, "Despite a challenging macro-environment that remains dynamic with American consumers pulling back on discretionary spending, coupled with the fact that MGO has been implementing a more cost-efficient, higher return approach to marketing spend in 2024, sales of Stand Flagpoles and the brand's related direct-to-consumer product offerings, have remained relatively stable through the first six months of this year. Moreover, for the past several months we have been making steady progress advancing our anticipated, transformative business combination with Heidmar, and believe that its exciting, highly profitable business and robust future growth prospects could ultimately provide MGO's stockholders with the opportunity to realize potentially significant and sustainable value creation over the long term."
