LB Acquisition Corp.
Acquisition was formed in Delaware on October 22, 2025, solely for the purpose of entering into the Merger Agreement and consummating the Merger with the RagingBull. Acquisition is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company with 1,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the "Acquisition Stock") issued and outstanding. Acquisition has not engaged in any business, conducted any operations or incurred any liabilities or obligations, other than as incidental to its formation and in connection with the Merger. Upon consummation of the Merger, Acquisition will cease to exist, and RagingBull will continue as the surviving corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware.
RagingBull.com, LLC
RagingBull.com, LLC is a stock trading education platform that equips traders with practical knowledge and strategies through real-world trading examples from experienced professionals. The company serves traders at all experience levels with expert-led instruction, tailored strategies, and an active trading community.
With over a decade in operation, RagingBull has established itself as a significant player in stock trading education and digital marketing. At its peak, the company achieved over $100 million in annual revenue through its diversified business model and effective lead generation capabilities. In 2021, the Federal Trade Commission brought an enforcement action against RagingBull alleging deceptive trade practices by the company. The company paid $2.4 million to settle the FTC lawsuit, under terms that enable full compliance with federal and state law while avoiding the operational disruption of prolonged litigation. Under the March 2022 consent decree with the FTC, RagingBull is subject to ongoing compliance obligations and operational restrictions that remain in effect for the lifetime of the business. The Order prohibits making or assisting others in making earnings claims without written substantiation demonstrating the claims are non-misleading and typical for similarly situated consumers. The company is prohibited from providing substantial assistance or support to any seller or telemarketer whom the company knows, or consciously avoids knowing, is engaged in Order or Telemarketing Sales Rule violations. The company cannot misrepresent experience, time, or capital requirements, refund or cancellation policies, or any material aspect of product performance. The company must obtain express informed consent before charging consumers, provide clear and conspicuous disclosures of all material terms, and maintain simple cancellation mechanisms. The $2.425 million monetary judgment is non-dischargeable in bankruptcy, and the complaint facts have collateral estoppel effect in any future enforcement action. The Court retains jurisdiction, and under its authority, any material deviation from the documented compliance process could trigger FTC reinvestigation with potential enforcement action and monetary liability against the company and individual officers. The company has maintained the compliance program in place at the consent decree's entry. The FTC has monitored this framework through required reporting and expects continued operation without interruption or material deviation. Under the Order, the company's Chief Compliance Officer must submit compliance reports to the FTC under penalty of perjury detailing monitoring activities, complaints investigated, violations identified, remedial actions, and compliance status. The Order includes notification and document retention provisions. The company must cooperate fully with FTC representatives who may request information, conduct interviews, or perform compliance audits on 14 days' notice. The company must notify the FTC within 14 days of any material business changes, including structural changes, ownership changes, or bankruptcy filings. The settlement terms and the underlying compliance issues do not prevent or prohibit RagingBull or its owners from being a publicly traded company or issuing shares to the public.
Having operated successfully and in compliance with FTC rules throughout the remainder of the litigation and since its resolution, RagingBull currently operates at a $5 million annual run rate and in compliance with its settlement agreement with the FTC.
The company has evolved its business model to focus on high-margin lead generation, attracting prospective traders and connecting them with external offers. This approach generates substantial revenue while minimizing operational risk.
The company has diversified its business model by adding a high-margin lead generation vertical, connecting traders with external offers. This strategic expansion broadens RagingBull's market reach and creates an additional revenue stream with favorable economics and reduced operational complexity.
Through its reverse merger with Leafbuyer Technologies Inc., RagingBull will gain access to public markets to support its expansion strategy and position the business for its next phase of growth.
Equityholders of RagingBull
The equityholders of RagingBull (the "RagingBull Holders") hold all of the membership interests (the "RagingBull Interests") in RagingBull. Upon the consummation of the Merger, the RagingBull Holders shall be the majority shareholders of the Company.
Structure of the Merger
On November 10, 2025, the Company, Acquisition, RagingBull, and the RagingBull Holders entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Acquisition will merge with and into RagingBull with RagingBull surviving such merger. The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the NRS and the LLCA, Acquisition will merge with and into RagingBull. As a result, the separate corporate existence of Acquisition will cease and RagingBull will survive the Merger and continue to exist after the Merger (the sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Surviving Company"). The Company, Acquisition, RagingBull, and the RagingBull Holders are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Parties" and individually as a "Party."
Consideration to be Received in the Merger
Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time:
|
· |
all of the equity in RagingBull held by the RagingBull Holders will be converted into the right to receive Fifteen Million (15,000,000) newly issued, post-split shares of LeafBuyer Common Stock (the "Merger Shares"), to be issued to the RagingBull Holders in accordance with their pro rata ownership of RagingBull, and after the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Reorganization, the RagingBull Holders will be the majority shareholders of the Company; and | |
|
· |
all of the shares of Acquisition Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive such proportionate number of RagingBull Interests, so that at the Effective Time, the Company will be the holder of all of the issued and outstanding RagingBull Interests; and | |
|
· |
all of the RagingBull Interests issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Shares; |
From and after the Effective Time, all such RagingBull Interests will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled and will cease to exist, and each holder of RagingBull Interests will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive their consideration of Merger Shares pro rata.
Required Stockholder Approval for the Merger
Prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company obtained written consents and resolutions approving the Merger, the Reorganization, and such other matters the Parties mutually decided to be necessary or appropriate in order to effect the Merger, from the Company's Board, the Series A Holders (representing a majority of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company) (the "Stockholder Approval"), the managers of Raging Bull (the "RagingBull Managers"), and the RagingBull Holders. On November 10, 2025, prior to the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the Company's Board, the Series A Holders, the RagingBull Holders, and the RagingBull Managers delivered written consents (the "Written Consents") constituting the Stockholder Approval. As a result, no further action by the Company's Board, the stockholders of the Company, the RagingBull Holders or the RagingBull Managers is required under applicable law or the Merger Agreement (or otherwise) to approve the Merger, the Reorganization, or such other matters as the Parties mutually decide to be necessary or appropriate in order to effect the Merger, and the Company will not be soliciting your vote for or consent to the approval of the Merger, the Reorganization, or such other matters as the Parties mutually decide to be necessary or appropriate in order to effect the Merger, Agreement, and will not call a stockholders' meeting for purposes of voting on thereon. No further action by the Company's stockholders is required to complete the Merger and all requisite corporate action by and on behalf of the Company and Acquisition required to complete the Merger has been taken.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER
The questions and answers below highlight only selected information from this information statement and only briefly address some commonly asked questions as they pertain to the Merger Agreement and the Merger. The following questions and answers do not include all the information that may be important to you as a stockholder of the Company. Please refer to the section entitled "Summary" and the more detailed information contained elsewhere in this information statement, the annexes to this information statement and the documents referred to in this information statement, each of which you should read carefully.
Q: What is the proposed transaction and what effects will it have on the Company?
A: The proposed transaction is a merger where, once the closing conditions to the Merger have been satisfied or waived (to the extent waivable) and upon the terms and subject to the other conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, LB Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, ("Acquisition") will be merged with and into RagingBull.com, LLC ("RagingBull"), with RagingBull as the surviving entity (the "Merger"). The LeafBuyer business will be spun out of the Company so that following the Merger, the Company will own, and the publicly traded shares of Common Stock of the Company will represent equity interests in, the RagingBull business activities, and no longer own or represent equity interests in the historical LeafBuyer business activities of the Company.
Q: What will I receive in the Merger?
A: Stockholders of LeafBuyer will not receive anything in the Merger. As part of the Merger, holders of Common Stock will be subject to a reverse split where owners of 156 shares of Common Stock prior to the Merger will own 1 share of Common Stock after the Merger, and 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock will be issued to the pre-Merger owners of RagingBull. Lenders to the Company will be partially repaid and will receive a convertible note in the amount of unpaid principal and accrued interest convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company. Prior to the Merger, the shareholders of the Company have owned the LeafBuyer operating business, following the Merger, the shareholders of the Company will own the RagingBull operating business.
Q: When do you expect the Merger to be completed?
A: We expect to complete the Merger promptly after all of the conditions to the Merger have been satisfied or waived and subject to the other terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, though in no case will the Merger be completed prior to 20 days after we have mailed this information statement to our stockholders. We currently expect to complete the Merger during the first quarter of 2026, though we cannot assure completion by any particular date, or at all.
Q: What happens if the Merger is not completed?
A: If the Company and RagingBull do not complete the Merger, the Company will remain an independent company, the reverse stock split will not occur, the debt paydown will not occur, and you will continue to hold the shares of Common Stock that you currently own. Additionally, we expect that the Common Stock would continue to be quoted on OTC Markets for the foreseeable future.
Q: Will I owe taxes as a result of the Merger?
A: No. For federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger and the Reorganization shall qualify to the extent possible as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b) and/or Section 351 of the Code, as determined in good faith by the Company and RagingBull.
Q: Why am I not being asked to vote on or consent to the Merger?
A: Effecting the Merger requires the approval of the Merger Agreement by stockholders of the Acquisition holding a majority of the voting power of the stockholders of Acquisition (in this case, the Company). The Company has obtained approval of the Merger Agreement by the Board of Directors of the Company and by stockholders of the Company holding a majority of the voting power of the stockholders. Nevada law and the Company's Bylaws permit stockholders with an aggregate of a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Stock (or whatever different proportion of voting power is required by law, the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or the Company's Bylaws) to act by written consent in certain circumstances, including in connection with the approval of transactions such as the Merger. On November 10, 2025, prior to the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the Company as sole stockholder of Acquisition, and the Voting Stockholders, which on such date beneficially held more than a majority of the voting power of the Company's stockholders by virtue of the 55% majority represented by the Series A Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis, and executed and delivered the Written Consents, thereby providing the approval for the Merger. Therefore, your vote or consent is not required and is not being sought and the Company will not be calling a special meeting of its stockholders for purposes of voting on the adoption of the Merger Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Transactions. We are not asking you for a proxy and request that you not send us a proxy.
Q: Why did I receive this information statement?
A: Applicable securities laws and regulations require us to provide you with notice of the Written Consents that were delivered by the Voting Stockholders as well as other information regarding the Merger, even though your vote or consent is neither required nor requested to approve or authorize the Merger Agreement or complete the Merger.
Q: Did the Board approve and recommend the Merger Agreement?
A: Yes. Among other things, the Board has (i) determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to enter into the Merger Agreement, (ii) approved the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Merger, and adopted the plan of merger set forth therein, and (iii) recommended the plan of merger set forth in the Merger Agreement to the stockholders of the Company and that the stockholders of the Company approve such plan of merger.
Q: What happens if I sell my shares before completion of the Merger?
A: If you transfer your shares of Common Stock before consummation of the Merger, you will lose your dissenter's rights. In order to exercise dissenter's rights, you must hold your shares of Common Stock through the Effective Time.
Q: Do I have appraisal or dissenter's rights if I object to the proposed Merger?
A: Yes. Under Section 92A.380 of the NRS, if the Merger is completed, subject to compliance with the requirements of Sections 92A.300 through 92A.500 of the NRS, you will have the right to dissent and demand payment in an amount that the Company estimates to be the fair value of the shares of Common Stock. Each dissenter will then have the right to contest the Company's estimate of fair value. In order to exercise your dissenter's rights, you must (i) provide to the Company a written statement of intent to assert dissenter's rights and demand payment for your shares of Common Stock if the Merger is effectuated within 15 days after the mailing of this information statement and (ii) deliver to the Company (prior to the Effective Time) or RagingBull (after the Effective Time) a written demand for payment no later than 30 days after the mailing of this information statement, and otherwise comply with the requirements of Sections 92A.300 through 92A.500 of the NRS, a copy of which is included as Annex D to this information statement. This information statement shall constitute notice to you from the Company of the availability of dissenter's rights under Sections 92A.300 through 92A.500 of the NRS.
Q: What happens if a third party makes an offer to acquire the Company before the Merger is completed?
A: The Company's rights to provide non-public information and engage in negotiations or discussions with third parties with respect to alternative transactions to the Merger, and the Board's right to change its recommendation, under certain circumstances, ceased upon the Company's execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement.
Q: Where can I find more information about the Company?
A: The Company files annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other documents with the SEC. This information is available on the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.

THE MERGER
Required Stockholder Approval for the Merger
The approval of the Merger Agreement required that the Company and the Company's stockholders approve the plan of merger set forth in the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote (at a meeting or by written consent) of a majority of the voting power of the Company's stockholders, with the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock voting together with certain holders of the Common Stock on an as-converted basis to represent approximately 65% of the voting power of the stockholders. On November 10, 2025, prior to the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, holders of Common Stock and the Company's Series A Preferred Stock representing an aggregate of approximately 65% of the outstanding voting power of the Company's stockholders (including the holders of all of the outstanding shares of super voting Series A Preferred Stock) delivered the Written Consents constituting the Company Stockholder Approval. As a result, no further action by any other holder of shares of Common Stock is required under applicable law or the Merger Agreement (or otherwise) to approve the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions, and we will not be soliciting your vote for or consent to the approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions, and will not call a stockholders' meeting for purposes of voting on the approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions. No further action by our stockholders is required to complete the Merger and all requisite corporate action by and on behalf of RagingBull and Acquisition required to complete the Merger has been taken.

As part of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, CEO Kurt Rossner, COO and CFO Mark Breen, and CTO Michael Goerner will lead a group that will purchase the operating assets of the LeafBuyer business in a spinoff transaction to be executed at the Effective Time of the Merger by purchasing from the Company 100% of the equity interests of LB Media Group LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company that merged with and into a newly-formed subsidiary of the Company in 2017 in a transaction similar to the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement. LB Media Group LLC will remain liable for a Covid-era Small Business Administration EIDL loan of approximately $525,000 as of the date of the Merger Agreement, and will retain all of the operating assets, receivables, cash, and liabilities (other than debt paid down in connection with the Merger) of the pre-Merger business of the Company, plus any debt used to purchase LB Media Group LLC in the spinoff transaction.

Indemnification
Indemnification by RagingBull.
RagingBull agrees to defend, hold harmless, and indemnify the Company and Acquisition and each of the officers, agents, representatives, and directors of the Company and Acquisition as of the date of the Merger Agreement and their respective successors and assigns, including, without limitation, LB Media Group LLC and LB Newco, against any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense of whatever kind or nature (including, but not limited to, any and all judgments, interest, award, penalties, fines, accounting or attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses, and expense whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing, or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever) ("Losses"), to which it or they may become subject arising out of or based on (i) any inaccuracy appearing in or misrepresentation made in Article II of the Merger Agreement, (ii) claims by or on behalf of any past or present shareholders of the Company relating to or arising out of (A) the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, or the Reorganization, (B) the Information Statement, other than with respect to claims arising solely from the inaccuracy of information contained therein provided by the Company, or (C) any alleged breach or violation of securities laws, rules, regulations, or requirements of self-regulatory organizations related to any of the foregoing.
The current and former officers and directors of the Company shall be express third party beneficiaries of this provision and shall be entitled to enforce it) against RagingBull and its affiliates, successors and assigns, including, without limitation, the Company, as if such third-party beneficiaries were parties to the Merger Agreement. RagingBull agrees to pay and be responsible for initial payment of all indemnifiable Losses contemplated by Article 4.7(a) of the Merger Agreement, as a matter of first resort promptly upon notification in writing by any Company Indemnitee of the details of such Losses, and no Company Indemnitee shall be required to first pay such Losses in order for RagingBull to be obligated to pay such indemnifiable amounts in the first instance.
Indemnification by the Company.
The Company hereby agrees to defend and indemnify RagingBull and each of the officers or agents of RagingBull as of the date of the Merger Agreement against any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense (including, but not limited to, any and all expense whatsoever reasonably incurred "in investigating, preparing, or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever), to which it or they may become subject arising out of or based on any inaccuracy appearing in or misrepresentation made in Article III of the Merger Agreement.
Such indemnification provisions in the Merger Agreement shall survive the Closing and consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and will survive the termination of the Merger Agreement.
Additionally, if any party entitled to indemnification thereunder (an "Indemnified Party") receives notice of the assertion of any claim for Losses or the commencement of any proceeding with respect to a matter subject to indemnity thereunder (a "Claim"), notice thereof (a "Claim Notice") shall promptly be given to the party having the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party (the "Indemnifying Party"). The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice thereunder shall not affect such Indemnified Party 's rights to indemnification thereunder, except to the extent the Indemnifying Parties forfeit rights or defenses by reason of such delay or failure, and, in such them, the amount of reimbursement to which the Indemnified Party is entitled shall be reduced only by the amount, if any, by which the Indemnified Party's Losses would have been less had such Claim Notice been timely delivered. After receipt of a Claim Notice, if (x) the Indemnifying Parties produces a notice of election within fifteen (15) days of receiving the Claim Notice, and (y) acknowledges in writing that it agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party for all Losses in connection with such Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Parties shall have the right, but not the obligation to (i) take control of the defense and investigation of such Claim, (ii) employ and engage attorneys of its own choice (subject to the approval of the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnifying Parties' sole cost and expense, and (iii) compromise or settle such Claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party; provided, that such consent will not be required if (A) such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and provides solely for payment of monetary damages for which the Indemnified Party will be indemnified in full and (B) does not require or involve any admission of wrong doing by the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Parties will not have the right to assume the defense of a Claim if (1) the Indemnifying Parties fail to actively and diligently conduct the defense of the Claim (after notice and reasonable opportunity to cure), (2) the Indemnified Party has received advice from counsel that an actual or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the defense of such Claim, (3) such Claim seeks a finding or admission of a violation of any criminal law by the Indemnified Party, (4) such Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable remedies in respect of an Indemnified Party or its business, (5) such Claim relates to a material customer or material supplier, or (6) such Claim is reasonably likely to result in Losses that, taken with any other then existing claims under this Article IV, would not be fully indemnified thereunder
In the event that the Indemnifying Parties defend the Indemnified Party against a Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects, at the Indemnifying Parties' request, with the Indemnifying Parties and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such Claim and any appeal arising therefrom, including, if appropriate and related to such Claim, in making any counterclaim against the claimant, or any cross complaint against any Person, in each case, at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties. The Indemnified Party may, at its own sole cost and expense, monitor and further participate in (but not control) the investigation, trial and defense of such Claim and any appeal arising therefrom. "Person" means any natural individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, association, bank, trust company, trust or other entity, whether or not a legal entity, or any governmental authority.
If the Indemnifying Parties do not assume such defense and investigation or do not acknowledge in writing within a reasonable period, but no later than thirty (30) days, after receipt of the Claim Notice their obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party against any Losses arising from such Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate counsel of its choosing, defend such Claim and have the sole power to direct and control such defense (all at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Parties if it is ultimately determined by a court of law with jurisdiction on the Claim that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification thereunder); it being understood that the Indemnified Party's right to indemnification for a Claim shall not be adversely affected by assuming the defense of such Claim. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, whether or not the Indemnifying Parties shall have assumed the defense of such Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or pay such Claim for which it seeks indemnification thereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

DISSENTER'S RIGHTS
Holders of the Company's Common Stock electing to exercise dissenter's rights must comply with the provisions of the Sections 92A.300 through NRS 92A.500 of the NRS in order to perfect their rights. The following is intended as a brief summary of the material provisions of the procedures that such a holder of the Company's Common Stock must follow in order to dissent from the Merger and perfect dissenter's rights. This summary, however, is not a complete statement of all applicable requirements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable Nevada statutes, the full text of which is set forth in Annex D to this information statement.
This information statement also functions as a dissenter's notice pursuant to NRS 92A.430.
A stockholder who wishes to assert dissenter's rights must:
|
1. |
Provide to the Company written notice of your intent to assert dissenter's rights and demand payment for your shares of Common Stock if the Merger is effectuated no later than December 20, 2025, which is 15 days after the date that this information statement is first being sent to stockholders, as follows: |
LeafBuyer Technologies, Inc.
6888 S. Clinton Street, Suite 300
Greenwood Village, CO 80112
Attn: Kurt Rossner, Chief Executive Officer
and
|
2. |
Within 30 days from the date that this information statement is delivered to stockholders, or January 4, 2026, deliver to the Company or the surviving entity: |
|
· |
written notice of the stockholder's demand for payment for the stockholder's shares of Common Stock if the Merger is completed; | |
|
· |
any stock certificates representing such shares of Common Stock; and | |
|
· |
certification that the stockholder acquired beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock before November 10, 2025, the date that the Company announced its entry into the Merger Agreement. |
A stockholder wishing to deliver a notice asserting dissenter's rights should hand-deliver or mail the notice, his, her, or its stock certificates, and the certification to the following address:
|
Prior to the Effective Time: |
After the Effective Time: |
|||
|
LeafBuyer Technologies, Inc. 6888 S. Clinton Street, Suite 300 Greenwood Village, CO 80112 Attn: Kurt Rossner, Chief Executive Officer |
RagingBull.com, Inc. 62 Calef Highway #233 Lee, NH 03861 Attn: Jeff Bishop Email: [email protected] With a copy (which shall not constitute notice) to: Peter Campitiello, Esq. Lucosky Brookman LLP 101 Wood Avenue Woodbridge, NJ 08830 Email: [email protected] |
Stockholders whose shares of Common Stock are not represented by certificates will be unable to transfer such shares once the Company receives the demand for payment from such stockholder, unless such stockholder later withdraws their demand for payment or otherwise loses their right to demand payment for their shares.
A stockholder who wishes to exercise dissenter's rights generally must dissent with respect to all of the shares the stockholder owns. If a record stockholder is a nominee for several beneficial stockholders, however, some of whom wish to dissent and some of whom do not, then the record holder may dissent with respect to all the shares beneficially owned by any one person by notifying the Company in writing of the name and address of each person on whose behalf the record stockholder asserts dissenter's rights. A beneficial stockholder may assert dissenter's rights directly by submitting to the Company the record stockholder's written consent to the dissent not later than the time the beneficial stockholder asserts dissenter's rights, and by dissenting with respect to all the shares of which such stockholder is the beneficial stockholder or which such stockholder has the power to direct the vote.
Any stockholder electing to exercise dissenter's rights must not have signed a stockholder written consent approving the Merger Agreement and the plan of merger included therein.
A stockholder wishing to exercise dissenter's rights must file each of the notice of intent and the payment demand within the prescribed time periods and deliver share certificates as required in the notice. Failure to do so will cause that stockholder to lose his, her, or its dissenter's rights.
A stockholder who has complied with the requirements summarized in the previous paragraphs may nevertheless decline to exercise dissenter's rights and withdraw from the appraisal process by notifying the Company within the 30-day period. If the stockholder does not withdraw from the appraisal process by such date, he, she, or it may not do so thereafter unless the Company or the Surviving Company consents to such withdrawal in writing.
Within 30 days after the Effective Time, RagingBull will pay each dissenter with properly perfected dissenter's rights RagingBull's estimate of the "fair value" of the stockholder's shares, plus accrued interest from the effective date of the Merger. The payment will be accompanied by specified financial information as required by NRS 92A.460 and a statement as to RagingBull's estimate of the fair value of the shares and the interest payable with respect to the shares.
With respect to a dissenter who did not beneficially own shares of Common Stock prior to the public announcement of the Merger, RagingBull is not required to make the payment until the dissenter has agreed to accept the payment in full satisfaction of the dissenter's demands or demand appraisal under NRS 92A.460.
"Fair value" is defined in NRS 92A.320 as the value of the Common Stock immediately before the Effective Time, excluding any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the Merger unless exclusion would be inequitable. The "fair value" may be less than, equal to, or greater than the value of the consideration that a Company's stockholder would be entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger. The rate of interest will be the rate of interest provided under applicable law.
Within 30 days of RagingBull's payment (or offer of payment in the case of shares acquired after public announcement of the Merger) to a dissenting stockholder, a dissenter dissatisfied with RagingBull's estimate of the fair value of the shares may notify RagingBull of the dissenter's own estimate of the fair value and demand payment of that amount. If RagingBull does not accept the dissenter's estimate and the parties do not otherwise settle on a fair value, then RagingBull must, within 60 days of receiving the estimate and demand, petition a court to determine the fair value of the shares and accrued interest.
In view of the complexity of the Nevada statutes governing dissenter's rights, stockholders who wish to dissent from the Merger and pursue dissenter's rights should consult their legal advisors.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
RagingBull has prepared and delivered to the Company audited financial statements since inception through December 31, 2024, which are herein attached under Annex E.
In addition, on the Closing, RagingBull will deliver unaudited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal quarter closing within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date, comparative to the same quarter in the preceding fiscal year including income statements, balance sheets and statements of cash flow and stockholders equity which having been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, be in Form 10-Q format and having been reviewed by RagingBull's independent certified public accountants.

Shares of Common Stock subject to options, warrants, shares of Preferred Stock or other securities convertible into Common Stock that are currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or convertible within 60 days of November 10, 2025, are deemed outstanding (i) without regard to the fact that the Company is limited to 150,000,000 authorized shares of Common Stock and (ii) for computing the percentage of the person holding the option, warrant, preferred stock, or convertible security but not for computing the percentage of any other person.
With respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company may not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of the applicable series, (i) disproportionally alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to, or alter or amend the Certificate of Designations of, such Series of Preferred Stock, (ii) amend its certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that disproportionally adversely affects any rights of the holders of such series of Preferred Stock, (iii) increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of such series of Preferred Stock, or (iv) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing. Otherwise, holders of Series A Preferred Stock have no voting rights except as required by law.
Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock that they beneficially own, except to the extent that power may be shared with a spouse.

Applicable percentage ownership is based on 100,071,075 shares of common stock outstanding as of November 10, 2025 together with securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock within 60 days of November 10, 2025, for each stockholder. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of November 10, 2025, are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such securities for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of such person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. |

Our website address is being provided as an inactive textual reference only. The information provided on, or accessible through, our website is not part or incorporated by reference into this information statement.
RagingBull has supplied, and we have not independently verified, the information in this information statement relating to them. Stockholders should not rely on information that purports to be made by or on behalf of us other than that contained in this information statement. We have not authorized anyone to provide information on our behalf that is different from that contained in this information statement.
This information statement is dated December 5, 2025. No assumption should be made that the information contained in this information statement is accurate as of any date other than that date, and the mailing of this information statement will not create any implication to the contrary.
HOUSEHOLDING OF INFORMATION STATEMENT
Only one copy of this information statement is being sent to multiple stockholders who share the same address, unless the Company directly received contrary instructions from one or more such stockholders. This practice, known as "householding," is designed to reduce our printing and postage costs. The Company will, however, deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of this information statement to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of this information statement was delivered. You may make such a written or oral request by (i) sending a written notification stating (A) your name, (B) your shared address and (C) the address to which the Company should direct the additional copy of this information statement, to LeafBuyer Technologies, 6888 S Clinton Street, Greenwood Village, CO 80112 , Attn: CEO Kurt Rossner, or (ii) calling us at 720-235-0099, requesting to speak to Investor Relations, and providing the same information as required for written requests.
If multiple stockholders sharing an address have received one copy of this information statement or any other corporate mailing and would prefer the Company to mail each stockholder a separate copy of future mailings, you may direct notification of such to us at the address or phone number set forth above. Additionally, if current stockholders with a shared address received multiple copies of this information statement or other corporate mailings and would prefer the Company to mail one copy of future mailings to stockholders at the shared address, notification of such request may also be made as set forth above.
The Board approved and recommended and the Voting Stockholders approved the Name Change, in connection with the consummation of the Merger.
Purpose of the Name Change
In connection with the Merger and as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Company will change its name to "RagingBull.com, Inc." prior to the consummation of the Merger. The Company believes that changing its name to "RagingBull.com, Inc." is more in line with RagingBull's line of business, will facilitate the Merger, and better reflects the Company's long-term strategy and identity.
Effects of the Name Change
The Name Change will not by itself have any effect on the Company's corporate status or the rights of stockholders, or affect in any way the validity of currently outstanding stock certificates or the trading of the Company's securities. The Company's stockholders will not be required to surrender or exchange any of the Company's stock certificates that they currently hold. Stockholders with certificated shares may continue to hold their existing certificates or receive new certificates reflecting the name change upon tendering the old certificates to the Company's Transfer Agent.
If the Name Change is effected, the Company intends to apply for a new ticker symbol and a new Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures ("CUSIP") number for the Company's Common Stock. In the event that the Merger is not consummated with RagingBull after we have changed our name RagingBull.com, Inc., it is expected that the Company would change its name to a new name not related with RagingBull.
Under the NRS, stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the proposed Name Change.
Procedure for Effecting the Name Change
The Name Change will become effective at such future date as determined by the Board, as evidenced by the filing of the Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada, but in no event earlier than the 20th calendar day after this Information Statement is first mailed to the stockholders. The Company also must notify FINRA of the Name Change by filing the requisite documents no later than 10 days prior to the anticipated record date of this Action. Moreover, although the Name Change has been approved by the requisite number of stockholders, the Board reserves the right, in its discretion, to abandon the Name Change at any time if it determines that abandoning the Name Change is in the best interests of the Company. No further action on the part of stockholders would be required to either effect or abandon the Name Change.
The Board of the Company and the Voting Stockholders have approved a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to effect the Reverse Split. Set forth below is the discussion of this amendment.
Background and Reasons for the Reverse Split
The Board believes that effecting the Reverse Split is desirable for a number of reasons, including:
Broadening our investor base. We believe that by increasing the price of our Common Stock or potentially decreasing its volatility, the Reverse Split may allow a broader range of institutional investors to invest in our Common Stock. For example, many funds and institutions have investment guidelines and policies that prohibit them from investing in stocks trading below a certain threshold. We believe that increased institutional investor interest in the Company and our Common Stock will potentially increase the overall market for our Common Stock.
Increase in Analyst and Broker Interest. We believe the Reverse Split would help increase analyst and broker-dealer interest in our Common Stock as many brokerage and investment advisory firms' policies can discourage analysts, advisors, and broker-dealers from following or recommending companies with low stock prices. Because of the trading volatility and lack of liquidity often associated with lower-priced stocks, many brokerage houses have adopted investment guidelines, policies and practices that either prohibit or discourage them from investing in or trading such stocks or recommending them to their customers. Some of those guidelines, policies and practices may also function to make the processing of trades in lower-priced stocks economically unattractive to broker-dealers. While we recognize that we may remain a "penny stock" under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), if our Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, we expect that the increase in the stock price resulting from the Reverse Split will position us better if our business continues to grow as we anticipate. Additionally, because brokers' commissions and dealer mark-ups/mark-downs on transactions in lower-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions and mark-ups/mark-downs on higher-priced stocks, the current average price per share of our Common Stock can result in shareholders or potential shareholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of the total share value than would otherwise be the case if the share price were substantially higher.
Certain Risks Associated with the Reverse Split
If the Reverse Split does not result in a sufficient proportionate increase in the price of our Common Stock, we may be unable to meet the initial listing requirements of a National Exchange.
We expect that the Reverse Split will increase the market price of our Common Stock. However, the effect of the Reverse Split on the market price of our Common Stock cannot be predicted with certainty and the issuance of the Merger Shares immediately following the Reverse Split may reduce the market price of our Common Stock, and the results of reverse stock splits by companies under similar circumstances have varied. It is possible that the market price of our Common Stock following the Reverse Split and issuance of Merger Shares will not increase sufficiently for us to meet the minimum bid price requirement. Further, the Reverse Split may result in a lesser number of round lot holders (holders of at least 100 shares), which could also cause us to be noncompliant with another Nasdaq rule requiring that we have at least 300 round lot holders. If we are unable meet the minimum bid price requirement or other requirements of Nasdaq or another National Exchange for which we seek listing, we may not be unable to list our Common Stock on a National Exchange.
Even if the Reverse Split results in the requisite increase in the market price of our Common Stock, there is no assurance that we will be able to continue to comply with the minimum bid price requirement.
Even if the Reverse Split results in the requisite increase in the market price of our Common Stock to be in compliance with the minimum bid price requirements of a National Exchange, there can be no assurance that the market price of our Common Stock following the Reverse Split and the issuance of the Merger Shares will remain at the level required for continued compliance with such requirement. It is not uncommon for the market price of a company's common stock to decline in the period following a reverse stock split. If the market price of our common stock declines following the implementation of the Reverse Split and the issuance of the Merger Shares, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of the Reverse Split. In any event, other factors unrelated to the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding, such as negative financial or operational results, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and jeopardize our ability to meet or continue to comply with the minimum bid price requirement.
The Reverse Split may decrease the liquidity of our Common Stock.
The liquidity of our Common Stock may be adversely affected by the Reverse Split given the reduced number of shares that will be outstanding following the Reverse Split, especially if the market price of our common stock does not sufficiently increase as a result of the Reverse Split. In addition, the Reverse Split may increase the number of round lot shareholders who own less than 100 shares of our Common Stock, creating the potential for such shareholders to experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares and greater difficulty effecting such sales.
The increased market price of our Common Stock resulting from the Reverse Split may not attract new investors, including institutional investors, and may not satisfy the investing guidelines of those investors, and consequently, the liquidity of our Common Stock may not improve.
Although we believe that a higher market price may help generate greater or broader investor interest in our Common Stock, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Split will result in a per-share price increase sufficient to attract new investors, including institutional investors. Additionally, there can be no assurance that the market price of our Common Stock will satisfy the investing guidelines of those investors. As a result, the trading liquidity of our Common Stock may not necessarily improve following the Reverse Split.
Principal Effects of the Reverse Split, Authorized Common Stock Reduction and Par Value Increase
The Reverse Split, if implemented, will have the following principal effects:
|
● |
the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock and treasury stock will decrease based on the Reverse Split Ratio; |
|
|
● |
the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock held by individual shareholders will decrease based on the Reverse Split Ratio, and the number of shareholders who own "round lots" of less than 100 shares of our Common Stock will increase; and |
|
|
● |
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants or conversion of outstanding convertible securities (if any) and the exercise price of such outstanding warrants and the conversion price of such outstanding convertible securities (if any), will be adjusted in accordance with their respective terms based on the Reverse Split Ratio. |
Shares of Common Stock after the Reverse Split will be fully paid and non-assessable. The amendment will not change any of the other terms of our Common Stock. Following the Reverse Split, the shares of Common Stock will have the same voting rights and rights to dividends and distributions and will be identical in all other respects to the shares of Common Stock prior to the Reverse Split. Following the Reverse Split, we will continue to be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.
Because the authorized Common Stock will not be reduced at the same ratio as the Reverse Split Ratio, the Reverse Split will have an overall effect of increasing the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock. These shares may be issued by our Board in its sole discretion. See "Anti-Takeover Effects of the Reverse Split" below. Any future issuance will have the effect of diluting the percentage of stock ownership and voting rights of the present holders of our Common Stock.
Fractional Shares
No fractional shares will be issued as the result of the Reverse Split. We will round up any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Split to the nearest whole share.
No Going Private Transaction
Notwithstanding the decrease in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock following the proposed Reverse Split, our Board does not intend for this transaction to be the first step in a "going private transaction" within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act.
Procedure for Implementing the Reverse Split
The Reverse Split would become effective upon the filing with the Nevada Secretary of State a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation as of the time of filing or such other time set forth in the Certificate of Amendment (the "Effective Time"), as determined by our Board based on its evaluation as to when such action will be the most advantageous to us and our shareholders. Additionally, the Board reserves the right, notwithstanding shareholder approval and without further action by the shareholders, to elect not to proceed with the Reverse Split if, at any time prior to the filing of the Certificate of Amendment, the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that it is no longer in the best interest of the Company and our shareholders to effect the Reverse Split. Beginning at the Effective Time, each certificate representing shares of Common Stock will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of the number of whole shares into which the shares previously represented by the certificate were combined pursuant to the Reverse Split. The form of Certificate of Amendment implementing, among other things, the Reverse Split is attached to this Information Statement as Annex A.
After the Effective Time, our Common Stock will have a new CUSIP number, used to identify our equity securities. Stock certificates with the older CUSIP number will need to be exchanged for stock certificates with the new CUSIP number by following the procedures described below.
Effect on Beneficial Owners of Common Stock
Upon the implementation of the Reverse Split, we intend to treat shares held by shareholders through a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee in the same manner as registered shareholders whose shares are registered in their names with Globex Transfer, LLC, the Company's transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent"). Banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Split for their beneficial holders holding our Common Stock in street name. However, these banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees may have different procedures for processing the Reverse Split. Shareholders who hold our Common Stock with a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee and who have any questions in this regard are encouraged to contact their banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees.
Effect on Registered "Book-Entry" Holders of Common Stock
Certain registered holders of our Common Stock may hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form with the Transfer Agent. These shareholders do not have stock certificates evidencing their Common Stock ownership. Such shareholders are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts. Shareholders who hold shares electronically in book-entry form with the Transfer Agent will not need to take action. The Reverse Split will automatically be reflected in the Transfer Agent's records and on their next statement.
Exchange of Stock Certificates
We expect that the Transfer Agent will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates for record holders (i.e., shareholders who hold their shares directly in their own name and not through a broker) in connection with the Reverse Split. As soon as practicable after the filing of the Certificate of Amendment, registered holders of certificated pre-Reverse Stock Split shares may be asked to surrender to the Transfer Agent certificates representing pre-Reverse Stock Split shares in exchange for a book entry with the transfer agent or certificates representing post-Reverse Stock Split shares in accordance with the procedures to be set forth in a letter of transmittal to be sent by us. No new stock certificates will be issued to a shareholder until such shareholder has surrendered such shareholder's outstanding certificate(s) together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal to the Transfer Agent.
For street name holders of pre-Reverse Split shares (i.e., shareholders who hold their shares through a broker), your broker will make the appropriate adjustment to the number of shares held in your account following the Effective Time.
SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.
Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences
Each shareholder is advised to consult their own tax advisor as the following discussion may be limited, modified or not apply based on your particular situation.
The following discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Split is based on the current provisions of the Code, Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code, Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") rulings and pronouncements and judicial decisions now in effect. Those legal authorities are subject to change at any time by legislative, judicial or administrative action, possibly with retroactive effect to the Reverse Split. No ruling from the IRS with respect to the matters discussed below has been requested, and there is no assurance that the IRS or a court would agree with the conclusions set forth in this discussion. The following discussion assumes that the pre-split shares of Common Stock were, and post-Reverse Split shares will be, held as "capital assets" as defined in the Code. This discussion may not address certain U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular shareholders in light of their specific circumstances or to certain types of shareholders (like dealers in securities, insurance companies, foreign individuals and entities, financial institutions and tax-exempt entities) that may be subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws. This discussion also does not address any tax consequences under state, local or foreign laws.
PLEASE CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE SPLIT IN YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.
We will not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Reverse Split.
A shareholder will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the exchange of pre-Reverse Split shares of our Common Stock for post-Reverse Split shares of our Common Stock in the Reverse Split. A shareholder's aggregate tax basis in the post-Reverse Split shares of our Common Stock the shareholder receives in the Reverse Split will be the same as the shareholder's aggregate tax basis in the pre-Reverse Split shares of our Common Stock the shareholder surrenders in exchange therefor. A shareholder's holding period for the post-Reverse Split shares of our Common Stock the shareholder receives in the Reverse Split will include the shareholder's holding period for the pre-Reverse Split shares of our Common Stock the shareholder surrenders in exchange therefor. Shareholders who have different bases or holding periods for pre-Reverse Split shares of our Common Stock should consult their tax advisors regarding their bases or holding periods in their post-Reverse Split Common Stock.
Anti-Takeover Effects of the Reverse Split and the Authorized Common Stock Reduction
The effective increase in our authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock resulting from the Reverse Split could potentially be used by our Board to thwart a takeover attempt. The overall effects of this might be to discourage, or make it more difficult to engage in, a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, or the acquisition or assumption of control by a holder of a large block of our securities and the removal of incumbent management. The Reverse Split could make it more difficult to accomplish a merger or similar transaction, even if such transaction is beneficial to the shareholders. The Board might use the additional shares to resist or frustrate, by issuing additional shares of Common Stock, a third-party takeover effort favored by a majority of the independent shareholders that would provide an above-market premium. The Reverse Split is not the result of management's knowledge of an effort to accumulate the Company's securities or to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, solicitation or otherwise.
The Reverse Split is not a plan by our Board to adopt a series of amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws to institute an anti-takeover provision. We do not have any plans or proposals to adopt any provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or enter into other arrangements that may have material anti-takeover consequences.

Annex A
Nevada Certificate
ARTICLE II
The address of the Corporation's registered office in the State of Nevada is c/o Incorp Services, Inc., 3773 Howard Hughes Parkway, Suite 5005, Las Vegas, Nevada 89169-6014.
ARTICLE III
The purpose of the Corporation shall be to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized and incorporated under the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "N.R.S.").
ARTICLE IV
(a) Authorized Capital Stock.
(i) The total number of shares of stock that the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 160,000,000 consisting of (i) 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock") and (ii) 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Preferred Stock").
(ii) Effective upon the filing of these Amended Articles of Incorporation (the "Effective Time"), a one (1) share per every one hundred fifty-six (156) shares outstanding stock split of the Common Stock (the "Reverse Split") will be effectuated. As of the Effective Time, every one hundred fifty-six (156) shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the "Old Common Stock") will be automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof reclassified as and converted into one share of Common Stock (the "New Common Stock"), subject to the treatment of fractional share interests as described below. Each stock certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Old Common Stock shall, from and after the Effective Time, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, represent that the number of whole shares of New Common Stock into which the shares of Old Common Stock represented by such certificate shall have been reclassified. All fractional shares of Common Stock shall be rounded to the next higher whole number of shares of Common Stock. If more than one Old Certificate shall be surrendered at one time for the account of the same stockholder, the number of full shares of New Common Stock for which New Certificates shall be issued shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares represented by the Old Certificates so surrendered. If any New Certificate is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Old Certificates surrendered for exchange are issued, the Old Certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the person or persons requesting the exchange shall affix any requisite stock transfer tax stamps to the Old Certificates surrendered, or provide funds for their purchase, or establish to the satisfaction of the transfer agent that the taxes are not payable. From and after the Effective Time the amount of capital represented by the shares of the New Common Stock into which and for which the shares of the Old Common Stock are reclassified under the terms hereof shall be the same as the amount of capital represented by the shares of Old Common Stock so reclassified, until thereafter reduced or increased in accordance with applicable law.
(b) Preferred Stock. Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is hereby authorized to provide for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in series and, by filing a certificate pursuant to the N.R.S. (hereinafter, along with any similar designation relating to any other class of stock that may hereafter be authorized, referred to as a "Preferred Stock Designation"), to establish from time to time one or more classes of Preferred Stock or one or more series of Preferred Stock, by fixing and determining the number of shares to be included in each such class or series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof. The authority of the Board of Directors with respect to each series, is hereby expressly vested in it and shall include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, determination of the following:
(i) the designation of such class or series, which may be by distinguishing number, letter or title;
(ii) the number of shares of the series, which number the Board of Directors may thereafter (except where otherwise provided in the Preferred Stock Designation) increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding);

(a) Each person who is or was or had agreed to become a director or officer of the Corporation, or each such person who is or was serving or who had agreed to serve at the request of the Board of Directors or an officer of the Corporation as a director, officer or trustee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including the heirs, executor, administrators or estate of such person), shall be indemnified by the Corporation, in accordance with the By-laws of the Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted from time to time by the N.R.S. as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) or any other applicable laws as presently or hereafter in effect.
(b) The Corporation may, by action of the Board of Directors or through the adoption of By-laws, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation, and to persons serving as employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, at the request of the Corporation, with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers. The Corporation shall be required to indemnify any person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors or is a proceeding to enforce such person's claim to indemnification pursuant to the rights granted by these Amended Articles of Incorporation or otherwise by the Corporation.

(e) Neither any amendment or repeal of any Section of this Article VIII, nor the adoption of any provision of these Amended Articles of Incorporation or the By-laws of the Corporation inconsistent with this Article VIII, shall adversely affect any right or protection of any director, officer, employee or other agent established pursuant to this Article VIII existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision, including without limitation by eliminating or reducing the effect of this Article VIII, for or in respect of any act, omission or other matter occurring, or any action or proceeding accruing or arising (or that, but for this Article VIII, would accrue or arise), prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.
ARTICLE IX
(a) The liability of the directors of the Corporation for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the N.R.S., as now or hereafter in effect.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements and covenants hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1.5. Assets and Liabilities. At the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall possess all the rights, privileges, powers and franchises of a public as well as of a private nature, and be subject to all the restrictions, disabilities and duties of each of Acquisition and RagingBull (collectively, the "Constituent Companies"); and all the rights, privileges, powers and franchises of each of the Constituent Companies, and all property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due to any of the Constituent Companies on whatever account, as well as all other things in action or belonging to each of the Constituent Companies, shall be vested in the Surviving Company; and all property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises, and all and every other interest shall be thereafter as effectively the property of the Surviving Company as they were of the several and respective Constituent Companies, and the title to any real estate vested by deed or otherwise in either of such Constituent Companies shall not revert or be in any way impaired by the Merger; but all rights of creditors and all liens upon any property of any of the Constituent Companies shall be preserved unimpaired, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Constituent Companies shall thenceforth attach to the Surviving Company, and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if said debts, liabilities and duties had been incurred or contracted by it.
1.6. Manner and Basis of Converting Equity. At the Effective Time:
(a) By virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the shareholders of the Company, all of the shares of Acquisition Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive such proportionate number of RagingBull Interests, so that at the Effective Time, the Company shall be the holder of all of the issued and outstanding RagingBull Interests; and
(b) all of the RagingBull Interests issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Shares subject to and conditioned upon approval of the Reorganization by the shareholders of the Company and satisfaction of notice requirements with respect thereto under relevant securities laws, rules, and self-regulatory organizations.
(c) From and after the Effective Time, all such RagingBull Interests shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of RagingBull Interests shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the consideration set forth in this Section 1.6 upon the surrender of such RagingBull Interests in accordance with Section 1.7 subject to and conditioned upon approval of the Reorganization by the shareholders of the Company and satisfaction of notice requirements with respect thereto under relevant securities laws, rules, and self-regulatory organizations.
(d) Adjustment of Merger Shares. The applicable Merger Shares shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into the Merger Shares), cash dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to LeafBuyer Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that it is acknowledged and agreed that the Reverse Split shall have been deemed to occur prior the issuance of the Merger Shares and as such shall not adjust the number of Merger Shares provided herein.
(e) Full Satisfaction. All Merger Shares paid to the RagingBull Holders in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of RagingBull Interests formerly represented by such RagingBull Holders, and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of RagingBull Interests on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Company. If, after the Effective Time, certificates or book-entry shares for LeafBuyer Common Stock are presented to the Company or the Surviving Company, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section 1.6.
(f) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of LeafBuyer Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender of RagingBull Interests for exchange, no dividend or distribution with respect to LeafBuyer Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each holder of RagingBull Interests who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share of LeafBuyer Common Stock (after taking into account all RagingBull Interests owned by such Person) as a result of the Merger shall receive, in lieu thereof, an additional share of LeafBuyer Common Stock rounded up to the nearest whole share.
1.7. The Company Capital Stock. The Company agrees that it will cause the Merger Shares at the Effective Time pursuant to Section 1.6(b) to be available for such purposes. The Company further covenants that at and upon consummation of the closing of the Reorganization, and including the issuance of the Merger Shares, there will be approximately 15,641,482 shares of the LeafBuyer Common Stock issued and outstanding, and that, no other common or preferred stock or equity securities or any options, warrants, rights or other agreements or instruments convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into common or preferred stock or other equity securities shall be issued or outstanding except as set forth herein and in Schedule 1.7.
1.8. Operation of Surviving Company. RagingBull acknowledges that upon the effectiveness of the Merger, and the compliance by the Company and Acquisition with their respective duties and obligations hereunder, the Company shall have the absolute and unqualified right to deal with the assets and business of the Surviving Company as its own property subject only to the limitations on the disposition or use of such assets or the conduct of such business as existed prior to the Merger.

If agreed to by the parties, the Closing may take place through the exchange of documents (other than the exchange of stock certificates) by fax, email and/or express courier.
1.11. Exemption From Registration. The Company and RagingBull intend that the Merger Shares to be issued pursuant to the Merger will be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act") and from the qualification and registration requirements of any applicable state "Blue Sky" or securities laws.

The current and former officers and directors of the Company shall be express third party beneficiaries of this Section 4.7(a) and shall be entitled to enforce this Section 4.7(a) against RagingBull and its affiliates, successors and assigns, including, without limitation, the Company, as if such third party beneficiaries were parties to this Agreement.

(b) Indemnification by the Company. The Company hereby agrees to defend and indemnify RagingBull and each of the officers or agents of RagingBull as of the date of this Agreement against any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense (including, but not limited to, any and all expense whatsoever reasonably incurred "in investigating, preparing, or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever), to which it or they may become subject arising out of or based on any inaccuracy appearing in or misrepresentation made in Article III. The indemnification provided for in this Section 4.7(b) shall survive the Closing and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and shall survive the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(c).
(i) If any party entitled to indemnification hereunder (an "Indemnified Party") receives notice of the assertion of any claim for Losses or the commencement of any proceeding with respect to a matter subject to indemnity hereunder (a "Claim"), notice thereof (a "Claim Notice") shall promptly be given to the party having the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party (the "Indemnifying Party"). The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect such Indemnified Party 's rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent the Indemnifying Parties forfeit rights or defenses by reason of such delay or failure, and, in such them, the amount of reimbursement to which the Indemnified Party is entitled shall be reduced only by the amount, if any, by which the Indemnified Party's Losses would have been less had such Claim Notice been timely delivered. After receipt of a Claim Notice, if (x) the Indemnifying Parties produces a notice of election within fifteen (15) days of receiving the Claim Notice, and (y) acknowledges in writing that it agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party for all Losses in connection with such Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Parties shall have the right, but not the obligation to (i) take control of the defense and investigation of such Claim, (ii) employ and engage attorneys of its own choice (subject to the approval of the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnifying Parties' sole cost and expense, and (iii) compromise or settle such Claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party; provided, that such consent will not be required if (A) such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and provides solely for payment of monetary damages for which the Indemnified Party will be indemnified in full and (B) does not require or involve any admission of wrong doing by the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Parties will not have the right to assume the defense of a Claim if (1) the Indemnifying Parties fail to actively and diligently conduct the defense of the Claim (after notice and reasonable opportunity to cure), (2) the Indemnified Party has received advice from counsel that an actual or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the defense of such Claim, (3) such Claim seeks a finding or admission of a violation of any criminal law by the Indemnified Party, (4) such Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable remedies in respect of an Indemnified Party or its business, (5) such Claim relates to a material customer or material supplier, or (6) such Claim is reasonably likely to result in Losses that, taken with any other then existing claims under this Article IV, would not be fully indemnified hereunder.
(ii) In the event that the Indemnifying Parties defend the Indemnified Party against a Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects, at the Indemnifying Parties' request, with the Indemnifying Parties and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such Claim and any appeal arising therefrom, including, if appropriate and related to such Claim, in making any counterclaim against the claimant, or any cross complaint against any Person, in each case, at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties. The Indemnified Party may, at its own sole cost and expense, monitor and further participate in (but not control) the investigation, trial and defense of such Claim and any appeal arising therefrom. "Person" means any natural individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, association, bank, trust company, trust or other entity, whether or not a legal entity, or any governmental authority.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Indemnifying Parties do not assume such defense and investigation or do not acknowledge in writing within a reasonable period, but no later than thirty (30) days, after receipt of the Claim Notice their obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party against any Losses arising from such Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate counsel of its choosing, defend such Claim and have the sole power to direct and control such defense (all at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Parties if it is ultimately determined by a court of law with jurisdiction on the Claim that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder); it being understood that the Indemnified Party's right to indemnification for a Claim shall not be adversely affected by assuming the defense of such Claim. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, whether or not the Indemnifying Parties shall have assumed the defense of such Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or pay such Claim for which it seeks indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

4. In a proceeding commenced pursuant to NRS 92A.460, the court may assess the costs against the subject corporation, except that the court may assess costs against all or some of the dissenters who are parties to the proceeding, in amounts the court finds equitable, to the extent the court finds that such parties did not act in good faith in instituting the proceeding.
5. To the extent the subject corporation fails to make a required payment pursuant to NRS 92A.460, 92A.470 or 92A.480, the dissenter may bring a cause of action directly for the amount owed and, to the extent the dissenter prevails, is entitled to recover all expenses of the suit.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Ragingbull.com, LLC (the "Company") as of December 31, 2024, the related statement of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there were no critical audit matters.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the entity's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and auditing standards generally accepted in the United States.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, expressed in U.S. dollars. The accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments including normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These financial statements represent the financial information of a single legal entity, the Company, and no subsidiaries or other entities are included. References to U.S. GAAP issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") in these accompanying notes to the financial statements are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC").
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are adjusted to reflect actual experience when necessary. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, intangible assets, inventory valuation, estimates related to useful lives of capitalization software, estimation of contingencies, recoverability of deferred tax assets, the incremental borrowing rate applied to lease accounting, valuation of earn out liabilities and warrant liabilities, and estimation of income taxes. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the impact of any revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which such revisions are made. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates, judgments, or assumptions, and such differences could be material to the Company's financial position and results of operations.
Revenue Recognition
"ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers", is a single standard for revenue recognition that applies to all of revenue arrangements and generally requires revenue to be recognized upon the transfer of control of promised goods or services provided to its customers, reflecting the amount of consideration it expects to receive for those goods or services. Pursuant to ASC "606", revenue is recognized upon the application of the following steps:
|
· |
Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; | |
|
· |
identification of the performance obligations in the contract; | |
|
· |
determination of the transaction price; | |
|
· |
allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and | |
|
· |
recognition of revenue when, or as, the contractual performance obligations are satisfied. |
Subscription Revenue : The Company offers various educational subscriptions to digital newsletters, which provide customers with a wide variety of services such as updates on investing trends, trade ideas, trade alerts, market analysis, exclusive articles, and access to chat rooms. The subscription is paid upfront, and the customer receives access to the content for the term they purchased. RagingBull.com identifies the continual provision of the newsletter services throughout the agreed upon term as the performance obligation. The customer generally pays for the subscription up front at the start of the term. Revenue is recognized over-time over the subscription period. The pattern of revenue recognition is straight-line over the subscription period, reflecting the continuous transfer of service to the customer.
Advertising services: The Company provides advertising services to companies that want to market to its audiences. RagingBull.com identifies the performance obligation as when the advertising content is distributed as described in the agreed upon terms. The distribution of advertising content could consist of emails, SMS, or push notifications. The Company typically receives the consideration up front. Revenue from advertising agreements is recognized over time, as the company satisfies its performance obligation by delivering content. The pattern of revenue recognition is straight-line over the agreed upon promotional period, reflecting the time when RagingBull.com distributes the advertising content.
Affiliate and Lead Generation Marketing: The Company provides affiliate and lead generation services to companies that want to market to its audiences. RagingBull.com identifies the performance obligation as the following:
|
· |
Affiliate Marketing: The primary performance obligation is typically to drive traffic to a customer's website or to generate conversions (such as sales, sign-ups, or clicks) through affiliate links. The company must fulfill this obligation by delivering measurable results, such as a certain number of clicks, leads, or sales, as agreed upon in the contract. |
|
|
· |
Providing Qualified Leads: The primary performance obligation in lead generation is to provide the customer with a specified number of qualified leads. The service provider must ensure that these leads are delivered in a format and timeframe specified in the contract. |
Revenue from affiliate and lead generation agreements are recognized based on the month RagingBull satisfies its performance obligation by delivering verified conversions. We generally recognize revenue from our subscription services based on the right to invoice practical expedient. For the year end December 31, 2024, 41% of revenue was from subscriptions, 30% was from advertising, and the remaining 29% was sourced from affiliate marketing services. For the year ended December 31, 2023, 79.6% of revenue was from subscriptions, 20.2% was from advertising, and the remaining .02% was sourced from affiliate marketing services.

Deferred revenue represents amounts billed or received in advance of the Company's performance under contractual obligations, primarily related to subscription services. The Company recognizes revenue over the applicable service period as performance obligations are satisfied. For the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized $4,600,765and $5,336,760 of revenue, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company had performance obligations of $9,099,161 and $10,823,729, respectively. The remaining performance obligations are presented as deferred revenue in the balance sheets under current liabilities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes cash deposits in banks. For the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, cash included $602,014 and $226,458 respectively. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024, and 2023.
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable is stated net of allowance for doubtful accounts and are amounts primarily due from the Company's merchants for revenues earned, net of related interchange and processing fees, and do not bear interest. Other types of accounts receivable are from other revenue streams. Amounts due from merchants are typically paid within 30 days following the end of each month. The company does not estimate allowances as they do not maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts (or any other applicable allowances). All receivables and related assets are recorded at their full value, and any impairments or write-offs are recognized as they occur based on actual losses rather than estimated reserves. For the years ended and as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the accounts receivable balances were $590,154 and $83,192, respectively.
Investments, at Cost
The Company accounts for investments with less than 20% of the voting shares and does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee using the cost method. The Company records cost method investment at the historical cost in its financial statements and subsequently records any dividends received from the net accumulated earrings of the investee as income. Dividends received in excess of earnings are considered a return of investment and are recorded as reduction in the cost of the investments.
Cost method investment is evaluated for impairment when facts or circumstances indicate that the fair value of the long-term investments is less than its carrying value. An impairment is recognized when a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary. The Company reviews several factors to determine whether a loss is other- than-temporary. These factors include, but are not limited to, the: (i) nature of the investment; (ii) cause and duration of the impairment; (iii) extent to which fair value is less than cost; (iv) financial condition and near term prospects of the investments; and (v) ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded impairment losses on investments totaling $2,971 and $80,859, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective asset. Routine maintenance, repairs and replacement costs are expensed as incurred and improvements that extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized. When property and equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in operations.

Intangible Assets
The Company's intangible assets consist primarily of intellectual property and domain names. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of approximately 10 years.
The Company reviews long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets subject to amortization, whenever events or circumstances indicate that a carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the carrying value of these assets to the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by these asset groups. These asset groups are impaired when their carrying value exceeds their fair value. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. No impairment loss was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Merchant reserves
Merchant reserves represent amounts held by our payment processors as a condition of using their payment services. These reserves are intended to protect the processors against potential losses resulting from chargebacks, refunds, or other settlement risks. The required reserve amounts are typically determined based on the payment processor's assessment of our credit and transaction risk. These funds are held by the payment processors, generally in accounts with major financial institutions, and are expected to be returned to us upon satisfactory settlement of related obligations or termination of the processing relationship.
Federal and state income taxes
The Company is a limited liability company taxed as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. As a pass-through entity, the Company does not incur income taxes at the entity level. Instead, taxable income or loss is allocated to the individual members, who are responsible for reporting such amounts on their respective tax returns. In certain jurisdictions, the Company may elect or be required to remit pass-through entity taxes on behalf of its members. These pass-through entity tax payments are reported as operating expenses in the financial statements. The allocation of income and loss for tax purposes may differ from the allocation used for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the members' equity balances presented in the accompanying financial statements may not correspond to the members' tax basis in their ownership interests.
Research and Development
The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. Research and development expenses consist primarily of software development costs, including employee compensation and external contractors, associated with the ongoing development of the Company's technology.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or the amount paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. There is a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs based on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - Inputs reflect management's best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are both unobservable for the asset and liability in the market and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
For the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the following table represents the Company's fair value hierarchy for items that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

| 789,373 | - | - | 789,373 | |||||||||||||
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company establishes the fair value of its assets and liabilities using the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. The recorded amounts of certain financial instruments, including money markets classified as cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities.
The Company's policy is to record transfers between levels, if any, as of the beginning of the fiscal year. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, no transfers between levels have been recognized.
Advertising
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses were approximately $3.58 million and $.76 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively, which are included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has determined that the Company has one reportable segment.
Concentration of Risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash principally with accredited financial institutions of high credit standing, and its cash levels at times may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") coverage limit of $250,000. At December 31, 2024, the Company's main operating account maintained a balance of $435,344, exceeding the federally insured limits. No losses have been incurred to date.
For the years ended December 31, 2024, Google accounted for 37% of our accounts payable balance and Platoon Marketing accounted for 24%. Google is used for advertising purposes, and Platoon Marketing is used for affiliate services.
For the years ended and as of December 31, 2024, four customers, all of which we preformed affiliate advertising services for, accounted for 10% or more of the Company's revenue or accounts receivable. StocksToTrade, TradeAlgo, Financial Media Corporation, and IR Agency accounted for 28%, 15%, 15%, and 13% of the accounts receivable balance, respectively.

The standard reduces the number of models used to account for convertible instruments, removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and requires the if-converted method for calculation of diluted earnings per share for all convertible instruments. The ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2022, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ("ASU 2019-12"). ASU 2019-12 clarifies and simplifies accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions for intra period tax allocation principles, and recognition of deferred taxes for outside basis differences in an investment, among other updates. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases ("Topic 842"), which modifies lease accounting for lessees to increase transparency and comparability by recording lease assets and liabilities for operating leases and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, and ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements, which affect certain aspects of the previously issued guidance. In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-20, Narrow- Scope Improvements for Lessor, Leases (Topic 842), which provides guidance on sales tax and other taxes collected from lessees. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-01, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, which affect certain aspects of the previously issued guidance. Amendments include an additional transition method that allows entities to apply the new standard on the adoption date and recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, as well as a new practical expedient for lessors. As of the adoption of Topic 842 there was no material impact.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("Topic 326"). This standard requires a new method for recognizing credit losses that is referred to as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") method. The CECL method requires the recognition of all losses expected over the life of a financial instrument upon origination or purchase of the instrument unless the Company elects to recognize such instruments at fair value with changes in profit and loss (the fair value option). This standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
