PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT – SUBJECT TO COMPLETION

FOR THE 2025 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON July 25, 2024

INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

Purpose, Date, and Time

This proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) is provided in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the board of directors (the “Board”) of Leafly Holdings, Inc. (“Leafly,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) for use at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders to be held virtually on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time at the following virtual meeting link http://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LFLY2025 and any adjournments or postponements thereof (the “Annual Meeting”). The mailing address of our principal executive offices is 600 1st Ave, Suite 330, PMB 88154, Seattle, WA 98104-2205. This Proxy Statement will be mailed on or about April 21, 2025 to holders of record of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“common stock”), as of the close of business on April 2, 2025 (the “Record Date”).

Record Date; Outstanding Shares; Shares Entitled to Vote

The Board has fixed the close of business on April 2, 2025 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 3,128,803 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote and one share of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to vote, but the Series A Preferred Stock is only entitled to vote on Proposal No. 3 (Approval of Amendment/Transaction).

Holders of record of common stock on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote per share on any matter that may properly come before the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the Annual Meeting. As discussed in greater detail below, the holders of record of each share of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to 100,000,000 votes per share, but only on Proposal No. 3 (Approval of Amendment/Transaction) and such votes must mirror the votes cast by the common stock

A list of the names of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for examination by any stockholder for any purpose germane to the Annual Meeting during ordinary business hours at the Company's corporate headquarters for the ten days preceding the Annual Meeting.

Stockholders of Record; Beneficial Owners

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name. If, at the close of business on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, then you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the individuals listed on the proxy card or to vote on your own behalf at the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owners: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Bank or Other Nominee. If, at the close of business on the Record Date, your shares were held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee on your behalf, then you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name.” As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares by following the voting instructions your broker, bank or other nominee provides. If you do not provide your broker, bank or other nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares, your broker, bank or other nominee may, in its discretion, vote your shares with respect to routine matters but may not vote your shares with respect to any non-routine matters. Proposals 2 (Approval of Name Change) are deemed routine matters; Proposals 1 (Election of Directors), Proposal 3 (Approval of Amendment/Transaction) and Proposal 4 (Adjournment of Meeting) are deemed non-routine matters.

Virtual Stockholder Meeting

We will hold our Annual Meeting in a virtual only format, which will be conducted via a live webcast. Stockholders will have an equal opportunity to participate in the Annual Meeting online regardless of their geographic location. We designed the format of our Annual Meeting to ensure that our stockholders who participate in the Annual Meeting will be afforded the same rights and opportunities to participate as they would at an in-person meeting and to enhance stockholder access, participation and communication through online tools. Our directors will also participate in the virtual Annual Meeting.

Virtual Nature of the Annual Meeting

The Annual Meeting will be held “virtually” through a live audio webcast on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time. The meeting will only be conducted via an audio webcast. There will not be a physical meeting location and you will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person.

Voting shares prior to and at the virtual Annual Meeting

Stockholders may vote their shares at www.proxyvote.com, by telephone or by mail, prior to the virtual Annual Meeting or at http://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LFLY2025 during the virtual Annual Meeting.

Proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting

Leafly stockholders are being asked to vote on the following proposals at the Annual Meeting:

Recommendation of the Board of Leafly

The Board unanimously recommends that Leafly’s stockholders vote “FOR” the nominee with respect to Proposal No. 1 and “FOR” Proposal Nos. 2, 3 and 4.

Quorum and Vote Required

The presence, in person or by duly executed proxy, of stockholders representing a 33 1∕3% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum. Shares are considered present “in person” if the holder of those shares attends the meeting using their unique 16-digit control number or by proxy if the holder properly voted by proxy in advance of the meeting. If a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, we expect that the Annual Meeting will be adjourned or postponed to solicit additional proxies.

With respect to Proposal No. 1 (Election of Director), the director must be elected by the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast with respect to the director nominee by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote for the election of directors, provided a quorum is present. With respect to Proposal No. 1, you may vote “FOR” or “WITHHOLD” authority to vote for each director nominee. If you “WITHHOLD” authority to vote with respect to the director nominee, your vote will have no effect on the election of the director nominee. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of the director nominee.

Approval of Proposal No. 2 (Approval of Name Change) will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter at the Annual Meeting, provided a quorum is present. While generally amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation requires approval of a majority of the outstanding voting power of the Company entitled to vote thereon, as discussed in Proposal No. 3 below, DGCL Section 242 does not require shareholder approval for changes to the corporate name. Therefore, Proposal No. 2 is an advisory vote that will only require a majority of the votes cast. A majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes cast “FOR” a proposal exceeds the number of votes cast “AGAINST” that proposal. With respect to Proposal No. 2, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” from voting on each proposal. If you “ABSTAIN” from voting with respect to a proposal, your vote will have no effect on such proposal. As described below, we do not expect there to be broker non-votes with respect to Proposal No. 2.

Approval of Proposal No. 3 (Approval of Amendment/Transaction) will require approval of holders of a majority of the outstanding voting power of the Company entitled to vote thereon, which in this case will mean the common stock and the Series A Preferred Stock voting together as a single class. Ms. Miyashita will cast the 100,000,000 votes represented by the share of Series A Preferred on Proposal No. 3 in a manner that mirrors the votes cast by holders of common stock on such proposal. Without the issuance of the share of Series A Preferred Stock, abstentions and any other non-votes would have had the same effect as a vote against Proposal No. 3. Following the issuance of the share of Series A Preferred Stock, abstentions and any other non-votes on Proposal No. 3 will still technically have the same effect as a vote against such proposal, but because the share of Series A Preferred has a high number of votes and will vote in a manner that mirrors votes actually cast by the holders of common stock (which does not include abstentions or any other non-votes), abstentions and any other non-votes will have no effect on the manner in which the Series A Preferred Stock votes are cast. The Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock” or “Series A Preferred”) was issued to address the increasing challenge faced by many corporations in obtaining stockholder approval by a majority of outstanding shares for a modifications to a certificate of incorporation like the Amendment, given that many outstanding shares of public companies are held by brokers and other record holders in “street name” and was issued solely for purposes of assisting the Company in obtaining the majority of outstanding vote requirement needed to approve the Amendment. See “Special Factors — Fairness of the Transaction” and “Other Matters Related to the Transaction — Shareholder Approval Required” beginning on pages 29 and 37, respectively.

Approval of Proposal No. 4 (Approval of One or More Adjournments to the Annual Meeting) will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter at the Annual Meeting, provided, that in the absence of a quorum, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented thereat is required for the approval of this Proposal No. 4. A majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes cast “FOR” a proposal exceeds the number of votes cast “AGAINST” that proposal. With respect to Proposal No. 4, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” from voting on each proposal. If you “ABSTAIN” from voting with respect to a proposal, your vote will have no effect on such proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the approval of Proposal No. 4. However, this proposal is being submitted on an advisory basis. Regardless of whether this proposal is approved, pursuant to our Bylaws, the chairman of the meeting may also authorize the adjournment of the Annual Meeting in his discretion, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Voting; Proxies; Revocation

Shares of our Common Stock represented at the Annual Meeting by properly executed proxies received prior to the Annual Meeting, and not revoked prior to or at the Annual Meeting, will be voted at the Annual Meeting, and at any adjournments, continuations or postponements of the Annual Meeting, in accordance with the instructions on the proxies.

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name. If you are a stockholder of record, you can vote in one of the following ways:

Beneficial Owners: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Bank or Other Nominee. If you are the beneficial owner of shares held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you will receive voting instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee. You must follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee in order to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares. The availability of Internet and telephone voting options will depend on the voting process of your broker, bank or other nominee.

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name. If you are a stockholder of record and you submit a duly executed proxy, but you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will be voted:

Beneficial Owners: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Bank or Other Nominee. If you are a beneficial owner and you do not provide your broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares with voting instructions, then your broker, bank or other nominee will determine if it has discretion to vote on each matter. Brokers do not have discretion to vote on non-routine matters. Proposal No. 1 (Election of Directors), 3 (Approval of Amendment/Transaction) and 4 (Approval of One or More Adjournments to the Annual Meeting) are non-routine matters, while Proposal No. 2 (Approval of Name Change), is a routine matter. As a result, if you do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee, then your broker, bank or other nominee may not vote your shares with respect to Proposals No. 1, 3 and 4, which would result in a “broker non-vote,” but may, in its discretion, vote your shares with respect to Proposal No. 2.

A record holder who executes a proxy may revoke it before or at the Annual Meeting by: (i) entering a new vote by Internet or telephone; (ii) attending the Annual Meeting and voting at that time; (iii) duly executing, dating and delivering a new proxy card with a later date; or (iv) delivering to our Secretary a written notice of revocation of a previously delivered proxy, with such notice dated after the previously delivered proxy. Attending the Annual Meeting will not, in and of itself, constitute revocation of a proxy. Any written notice revoking a proxy should be delivered to Leafly Holdings, Inc., 600 1st Ave, Suite 330, PMB 88154 Seattle, WA 98104 Attention: Kathleen Mullaney, Assistant Secretary or via email to kathleen.mullaney@leafly.com. If your shares of Common Stock are held in a brokerage account, you must follow your broker’s instructions to revoke a proxy.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Broker non-votes occur when a nominee holding shares of voting securities for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power on that item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Abstentions, withheld votes, and broker non-votes are included in determining whether a quorum is present but are not deemed a vote cast “FOR” or “AGAINST” a given proposal. As such, abstentions, withheld votes and broker non-votes do not affect the voting results with respect to Proposal No. 1 (Election of Directors), Proposal No. 2 (Approval of
Name Change), or Proposal No. 4 (Approval of One or More Adjournments to the Annual Meeting), or any other items requiring the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. As discussed above, abstentions and broker non-votes will have a limited impact on the voting results with respect to Proposal No. 3 (Approval of Amendment/Transaction) because of the impact of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

We are soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting from our stockholders. We will bear the expense of soliciting proxies and have hired Sodali & Co., 333 Ludlow Street, 5th Floor, South Tower, Stamford, CT 06902, to assist in the proxy solicitation process. We will pay Sodali & Co. a fee of $10,000, plus expenses. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding Common Stock for the benefit of others so that such brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians may forward the solicitation materials to such beneficial owners. We may reimburse persons representing beneficial owners of common stock for their expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to those beneficial owners. Original solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone or personal solicitation by our directors, officers or other regular employees of the Company. No additional compensation will be paid to our directors, officers or other regular employees for these services.

Business; Adjournments

We do not expect that any matter other than the proposals presented in this Proxy Statement will be brought before the Annual Meeting. However, if other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting or in the event of any adjournments or postponements of the Annual Meeting, then the proxy holders will vote in their discretion with respect to those matters.

The Annual Meeting may be adjourned by the Chairman of the Board, to the extent permitted by applicable law and our governing documents, or by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. In the case that a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, or in the case that a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting but there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Annual Meeting to adopt Proposal No. 3 (Approval of Amendment/Transaction), then the chairman of the Special Meeting has the power to adjourn the Special Meeting, or, alternatively, stockholders may be asked to vote, on an advisory basis, on a proposal to adjourn the Annual Meeting in order to permit the further solicitation of proxies.

Inspector of Elections

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) tabulates the votes at the Annual Meeting, and a Representative of Broadridge will serve as the independent inspector of election.

Receipt of More Than One Set of Voting Materials

Stockholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this Proxy Statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered under more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your shares.

Householding of Proxy Materials

We have adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called “householding.” Under this procedure, we will mail one set of proxy materials, one copy of our Annual Report and this Proxy Statement, to multiple stockholders who share the same address (if they appear to be members of the same family) unless we have received contrary instructions from an affected stockholder. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards. This procedure reduces our printing and mailing costs. Upon written or oral request, we will promptly deliver a separate copy of the proxy materials and Annual Report to any stockholder at a shared address to which we delivered a single copy of any of these documents. To receive a separate copy, or, if you are receiving multiple copies, to request that we only send a single copy of next year’s proxy materials and annual report, you may contact us as follows:

Email: kathleen.mullaney@leafly.com

Stockholders who hold shares in street name may contact their brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other nominee to request information about householding.

Reporting of Voting Results

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. In addition, final voting results will be published in a Current Report on Form 8-K that will be filed within four business days of the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us at that time, we will file a Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and, within four business days after the final results are known to us, file an amendment to the Form 8-K to publish the final results.

Director Independence

An “independent director” is generally defined under applicable Nasdaq rules as a person other than an officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. While our securities were delisted from Nasdaq effective January 17, 2025, we have continued to apply the same independence standards to our directors. Audit Committee

members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act to be considered independent for purposes of serving on the Audit Committee.

Our Board currently consists of four directors: Ms. Miyashita, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Secretary, Mr. Lee, the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer, and Messrs. Monat and Nannetti. The Board has determined that half of our Board of Directors, Mr. Monat and Mr. Nannetti, were “independent” as generally defined under Nasdaq rules, and under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. Mr. Pickerill, who resigned from the Board effective April 1, 2025, had also previously be considered “independent” by these standards.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 — CHANGE OF THE COMPANY’S NAME TO LEAFLY.COM HOLDINGS, INC.

The Board of Directors has approved, and is recommending that the shareholders approve, an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to change its name from Leafly Holdings, Inc. to Leafly.com Holdings, Inc. The Board of Directors believes that the name change will better reflect the Company’s business focus on the online space and its internet marketing platform. The name change will not have any effect on the rights of the Company’s existing shareholders.

If the proposed amendment is approved, Article I of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation will be amended to read as follows:

“ARTICLE I
The name of this Corporation shall be Leafly.com Holdings, Inc. (the “Corporation”).“

The Company’s common stock is currently traded on the OTC Pink Open Markets under the symbol “LFLY.” If the amendment
is approved and the name change becomes effective, the Company’s common stock will continue to be traded on the OTC Pink Open
Markets and the symbol will remain unchanged.

If approved by the shareholders, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors as discussed below, the proposed
amendment will become effective upon the filing of certificate of amendment of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with the
Delaware Secretary of State. Upon effectiveness, the name of the Company will also be updated in the Company’s Bylaws and other
governance related documents, as well as the Company’s equity incentive plan.

If the name change becomes effective, the rights of shareholders holding certificated shares under currently outstanding stock
certificates and the number of shares represented by those certificates will remain unchanged. The name change will not affect the
validity or transferability of any currently outstanding stock certificates nor will shareholders be required to exchange outstanding
stock certificates for new stock certificates as a result of the name change. After the name change, all newly issued and transferred
shares will be held in direct registration accounts and, together with uncertificated shares currently held in direct registration accounts,
will bear the name “Leafly.com Holdings, Inc.” Similarly, the rights of any warrant holders will remain unchanged.

If the name change is not approved, the Board of Directors has determined that the proposed amendment to the Company’s
Certificate of Incorporation will not be made and the corporate name of the Company will remain unchanged.

In making this recommendation, the Board of Directors is retaining the ability to, without further vote by the shareholders, delay
or abandon the proposed name change at any time if the Board concludes that such action would be in the best interests of the
Company and its shareholders. The Board may make such determination based on the costs and resources such name change would
require with respect to the Company’s operations, consistency with the Company’s branding decisions or any other reason. Consistent
with such considerations of cost effectiveness, the Board of Directors decided to recommend the name change at this time to take
benefit from the upcoming Annual Meeting. The implementation of the name change is not contingent upon the approval of any other
proposal in this Proxy Statement, and no other proposal is contingent upon the approval of this Proposal No. 3.

Vote Required for Approval

DGCL Section 242 permits a Delaware corporation to change its corporate name without the approval of the corporation’s stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors has determined to submit the proposed name change to the shareholders in order to solicit valued shareholder feedback. Therefore, the approval of this proposal is on an advisory basis. As such, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to approve, on an advisory basis, the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to change the Company’s name to Leafly.com Holdings, Inc.

Recommendation of the Board of Leafly

LEAFLY’S BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT ITS STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE CHANGE OF THE COMPANY’S NAME TO LEAFLY.COM HOLDINGS, INC.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 – AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

On April 1, 2025, the Board of Directors voted unanimously to approve, adopt and declare advisable, and to recommend to our stockholders that they approve at this Annual Meeting, an amendment (the “Amendment”) to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended to effect a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of our common stock issued and outstanding or held in treasury at a ratio of between 1 for 200 and 1 for 500 and, contemporaneously with the Reverse Stock Split, a

reduction to the number of shares of authorized common stock from 200,000,000,000 to 5,000,000 and authorized preferred stock from 5,000,000 to 1,000,000 (the “Authorized Share Reduction”).

If approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting, at the discretion of the board of directors and as further described below, we would affect the Reverse Stock Split and the Authorized Share Reduction by causing the filing of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this Proxy Statement, with the Delaware Secretary of State.

As described below, the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may also determine not to effect the Reverse Stock Split and the Authorized Share Reduction. We will not affect the Reverse Stock Split without also effecting the Authorized Share Reduction, and vice versa. While we intend to effect the Amendment as soon as possible after the Annual Meeting, if the Board of Directors, in its discretion, determines not to effect the Amendment prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of this Annual Meeting (the “Anniversary Date”), the Amendment will be abandoned. If our stockholders approve the Amendment at this Annual Meeting, no further action on the part of stockholders will be required to either implement or abandon the Amendment.

If approved by our stockholders, this Proposal No. 3 (Approve of Amendment/Transaction) would permit, but would not require, the Board of Directors to effect a Reverse Stock Split of our common stock issued and outstanding or held in treasury by a ratio between 1 for 200 and 1 for 500, with the final ratio to be set in the discretion of the Board of Directors, without further stockholder approval, in the manner described herein (such final ratio, the “Reverse Stock Split Ratio”). If the Reverse Stock Split is effected, we would contemporaneously effect the Authorized Share Reduction. The par value per share of our common stock would remain unchanged at $0.0001. The following description of the Amendments is a summary and is subject to the full text of each of the proposed Amendment, a form of which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Annex A.

The Company is furnishing this Proxy Statement to its shareholders pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, in connection with Leafly’s plan to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock, par value $0.0001 (“common stock”), with a view to reducing the number of record holders of our common stock to fewer than 300 and subsequently terminating the registration of our common stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and suspending our duty to file periodic reports and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, after which Leafly will no longer be subject to the public reporting obligations under federal securities laws, thereby “going private.”

Leafly may not consummate the reverse stock split described in this Proxy Statement until 20 days after the date on which it first mails this

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROPOSAL

Following are some questions about the Transaction and the related transactions that may be raised by our shareholders, and answers to each of those questions. The answers to the questions below may not include all the information that is important to you. You are urged to read carefully the entire Proxy Statement.

Q: What are some of the advantages of the Transaction?

A: Our Board believes that the Transaction may have the following advantages, among others:

See the information under the captions “Special Factors — Purpose and Reasons for the Transaction” in this Proxy Statement.

Q: What are some of the disadvantages of the Transaction?

A: Our Board believes that the Transaction may have the following disadvantages, among others:

See the information under the caption “Special Factors — Effects of the Transaction — Potential Disadvantages of the Transaction to Shareholders” in this Proxy Statement.

Q: What are some of the factors that our Board considered in recommending approval of the Transaction?

A: In addition to the advantages and disadvantages described above, our Board considered numerous factors in recommending approval of the Transaction, including:

For a more comprehensive review of the factors considered by our Board, see the information under the caption “Special Factors” in this Proxy Statement.

Q: How did our Board determine the range for the Reverse Stock Split Ratio of 1 for 200 to 1 for 500? How will the Board determine the final Reverse Stock Split Ratio?

A: Our Board approved a range of ratios for the reverse split of 1 for 200 to 1 for 500, with the exact ratio to be set by the Company's Board of Directors within the above range in its sole discretion. The Board approved a range of ratios because the Board wanted the flexibility to choose a final ratio that would successfully reduce the number of shareholders of record to a number sufficiently below 300 that we would allow us to deregister pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and suspend our reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as well as making it unlikely, in the future, to inadvertently increase our record holder base to 300 or more, and thus be required to once again file periodic reports and other information with the SEC. At the same time, the Board of Directors also is retaining the flexibility so that it can determine the ratio that can limit the cash resources expended in connection with the Transaction, while reducing the number of shareholder of record below the requisite threshold. If Proposal No. 3 is approved by our stockholders, the Board will make a determination as to the final Reverse Stock Split Ratio in light of the foregoing goal.

Q: What are the interests of our directors and executive officers in the Transaction?

A: As a result of the Transaction, we estimate that our directors and executive officers and their affiliated entities will increase their collective beneficial ownership of our common stock from approximately 6.8% to [ ]%, depending on the final Stock Split Ratio and will receive approximately $[ ] in cash as a result of fractional shares, assuming the highest possible split of 1 for 500 split. To the contrary, however, the Transaction will also make it more difficult for directors and executive officers to sell their shares pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the “Securities Act”). See the information under the caption “Other Matters Related to the Transaction — Potential Conflicts of Interest” in this Proxy Statement.

Q: How will the Transaction affect the day-to-day operations of Leafly?

A: The Transaction will have very little effect on Leafly’s business and operations, except to reduce management time spent on compliance and disclosure matters attributable to our Exchange Act filings, and may therefore enable management to increase its focus on managing our business and growing shareholder value. See the information under the caption “Special Factors — Effects of the Transaction” in this Proxy Statement.

Q: Should I send in my stock certificates now, and how will payment for shares be effected?

A: When the Transaction becomes effective:

See the information under the caption “Special Factors — Structure of the Transaction — Exchange of Share Certificates for Cash Payment for Discontinued Stockholders” in this Proxy Statement.

Q: What if I hold common stock in “street name”?

A: If you hold common stock in “street name,” then your broker, bank or other nominee is considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares and not you. We intend to treat shareholders holding our common stock in street name through a nominee (such as a broker, bank or other nominee) in the same manner as shareholders whose shares are registered in their own name. Accordingly, if the Ratio Number is set at 200, and if you hold 200 or more common stock in street name you will remain a shareholder after consummation of the Transaction. On the other hand, if the Ratio Number is set at 200, and if you hold fewer than 200 common stock in street name it is intended that you receive cash for your shares. However, it is also possible that the bank, broker or other nominee also holds shares for other beneficial owners of our common stock and that it may hold more than the Ratio Number shares of common stock in such capacity in the aggregate. Therefore, depending upon your nominee’s procedures, your nominee may not be obligated to treat the Transaction as affecting its beneficial holders’ shares and you may not receive cash for your fractional

interests. If you hold fewer than the Ratio Number of shares of common stock in street name, we encourage you to contact your bank, broker or other nominee directly as soon as possible so that arrangements can be made, if necessary, to register your holdings to ensure that you receive the cash payment of the Cash-Out Price per pre-Reverse Stock Split share. See the information under the caption “Special Factors — Effects of the Transaction” in this Proxy Statement.

While we are not aware of any fees or expenses that may be charged to “street name” holders by their brokers, banks or other nominees, we cannot guarantee that fees or expenses will not be charged to “street name” holders in connection with the Transaction.

Q: What if I hold a number of shares of common stock in through multiple brokerage or record accounts or a combination of brokerage and record accounts?

A: If you hold a total of shares of common stock divided up among multiple brokerage and/or record accounts, each with potentially fewer than the Ratio Number of shares, we urge you to contact your bank, broker or other nominee immediately to make arrangements to register and/or consolidate your holdings or take such other steps as may be necessary to avoid having your shares cashed out, to the extent you would like to retain your interest in Leafly. See the information under the caption “Special Factors — Effects of the Transaction” in this Proxy Statement.

Q: What information will I be able to get about Leafly if I continue to hold shares after the Transaction?

A: After the Transaction, we intend to provide the minimum amount of information required by Delaware law. We do not intend, but may in our discretion elect, to distribute press releases for material and other events. We will continue to hold shareholder meetings as required under Delaware law, our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws, including annual meetings, or to take actions by written consent of our shareholders in lieu of meetings. See the information under the caption “Special Factors — Effects of the Transaction — Effects of the Transaction on Our Shareholders” in this Proxy Statement.

Q: What is the estimated maximum cost to cash out fractional shares?

A: Upon consummation of the Transaction, we estimate that a maximum of approximately $125,000 will be required to cash-out fractional shares as part of the Transaction. However, the amount actually paid in connection with the Transaction will depend on how many shares we are actually required to cash-out upon consummation of the Transaction and the Cash-Out Price ultimately determined. See the information under the caption “Other Matters Related to the Transaction — Source and Amounts of Funds” in this Proxy Statement.

Q: At what prices has our stock traded recently?

A: Effective January 17, 2025, Leafly common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and warrants to purchase shares of Leafly common stock are currently traded on the OTC Pink Sheet Open Market and, between April 22, 2023 and January 17, 2025, on the Nasdaq Capital Market. From February 4, 2022 until April 21, 2023, Leafly common stock and warrants were traded on the Nasdaq Global Market, under the symbols LFLY and LFLYW, respectively. From November 7, 2019 until February 3, 2022, Leafly common stock and warrants traded on the Nasdaq Global Market under the trading symbols “MCMJ” and “MCMJW,” respectively.

On April 10, 2025 (the last trading date prior to the first public disclosure of the Transaction in this Preliminary Proxy Statement) the closing price of our common stock on OTC Pink Sheet Open Market was approximately $0.17. Following the initial filing of this Proxy Statement with the SEC on April 11, 2025, through April [ ], 2025, the closing price of our common stock has ranged between $[ ]and $[ ] per share. See the information under the caption “Leafly Information — Company Securities” in this Proxy Statement.

Q: Am I permitted to trade my stock prior to the Transaction?

A: Shareholders are not prohibited from or restricted in trading their shares prior to the Transaction. However, the price of our common stock is volatile, in part because of the low volume of trading. This volatility may increase due to the announcement of the proposed Transaction. See the information under the caption “Special Factors — Effects of the Transaction” in this Proxy Statement.

Q: Will the Company effect the Reverse Stock Split without also effecting the Authorized Share Reduction? Or the Authorized Share Reduction without also effecting the Reverse Stock Split?

A: We will not effect the Reverse Stock Split without also effecting the Authorized Share Reduction, and vice versa.

Q: Is the Transaction contingent upon approval of any other proposal? Like Proposal No. 2 (Approval of Name Change)?

A: Proposal No. 3 (Approval of Amendment/Transaction) is not contingent upon the approval of any other proposal. The
determination by the Board of Directors and shareholders with respect to any other proposal, including Proposal No. 2 (Approval of
Name Change), is independent of any decision with respect to this Proposal No. 3 (Approval of Amendment/Transaction).

Q: Where can I find more information about Leafly?

A: We have filed certain information with the SEC. This information is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. See the information under the caption “Where You Can Find Additional Information” in this Proxy Statement. In addition, please see the information under the caption “Leafly Information.”

Through December 2024, the Company continued discussions with the Company’s debtholder. On December 31, 2024, in connection with the Board’s consideration of financial covenants that the debtholder was requiring, the management provided projected financials, outlining expected expenses and savings occurring from a Go Dark effective date of March 30, 2025.

On January 3, 2025, the Board discussed ongoing negotiations with the Company’s debtholder, including the requested cash covenants and minimum levels of cash required to wind-down the Company in the event of a foreclosure. Ms. Miyashita also provided an update on the Nasdaq hearing panel’s decision, noting that an extension had been granted until April 2, 2025, contingent upon the company completing an equity transaction described in the Company’s presentation to Nasdaq on December 5, 2024. Acknowledging that the Company would be unable to complete such a transaction by the required timeline, Ms. Miyashita agreed to communicate such inability to Nasdaq through the company’s Nasdaq advisor.

Again on January 7, 2025, the Board together with management considered the minimum cash covenant requested by the debtholder, while considering the costs savings projected in connection with a Go Dark transaction. Ms. Miyashita then discussed the Nasdaq determination letter and shared guidance that the Company should notify Nasdaq of its inability to achieve necessary milestones outlined in the Nasdaq’s letter. The Board agreed that a Form 8-K notification would be filed if the Nasdaq responded with an official delisting determination following notification from the Company that it would not meet specified milestones.

On January 15, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Debt Amendment”) with the Company’s debtholder to modify the terms of that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated January 11, 2022 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), relating to the Company’s Notes. Concurrently with the Debt Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into an amended and restated note (the “Amended and Restated Note”) for the Notes. The Debt Amendment and the Amended and Restated Note, among other things, (i) extended the maturity date of the Notes from January 31, 2025 to July 1, 2025 and (ii) added certain financial maintenance

covenants. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay down 12.5% of the outstanding principal of the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes since the last interest payment date on July 31, 2024. The prepayment and interest payment was made on January 21, 2025. In connection with the Amendment, the Company also granted the holders of the Notes a security interest in the Company’s assets as collateral to secure the Company’s obligations underlying the Notes, subject to certain exceptions and limitations.

Also on January 15, 2025, the Company received written notification (the “Delisting Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) had determined to delist the Company’s common stock and warrants and suspend trading of the securities at the open of trading on January 17, 2025. As a result of the delisting, the Company’s common stock and warrants began trading publicly on the OTC Pink Open Market under its existing symbols “LFLY” and “LFLYW,” respectively.

On January 28, 2025, the Board met again with the management team to finalize the operating plan and budget for 2025. In discussing expense assumptions for the operating plan, management again highlighted the monthly expense and cash forecast assuming the Company would be able to achieve cost savings associated with a Go Dark transaction. The Board requested that management further refine its cost estimates for a Go Dark scenario.

On March 5, 2025, the Board met with the Company counsel, to receive an overview of the Go Dark Process and to review counsel’s guidance on the potential impacts from undertaking a Go Dark transaction, including an assessment of the Company’s contractual obligations to third parties, prospective impacts to future equity offerings both for the Company and its shareholders and impacts to the Company’s existing securities offerings registered with the SEC. The Board also reviewed a detailed step plan and schedule for executing a Go Dark transaction. The Board met, again, with counsel and management on March 10, 2025, to discuss the filing of post-effective amendments to the Company’s S-3 and S-8 registrations, which would be necessary to effect a Go Dark transaction in the 2025 calendar year. On March 12, 2025, the Company filed post-effective amendments to terminate its active registration statements, which were later declared effective by the SEC.

At a Board meeting on March 12, 2025, Mr. Lee provided an update on his discussions with the Company’s debtholder. At a meeting of the Company’s Audit Committee, at which all Board members were present, management provided an updated forecast for 2025, which included the Go Dark cost and savings assumptions.

On April 2, 2025, the Board was presented again with the Go Dark process overview.

At the same meeting, the Board also approved a reduction in the number of authorized shares of the Company to save costs associated with Delaware franchise taxes. The Board discussed various considerations of fair value of the fractional shares, as set forth in greater detail below, and asked management to revert with additional estimates of fair value to finalize its fair value for fractional shares prior to filing the preliminary proxy.

On April 9, 2025, the Board met to review the proposed disclosures and disclosure requirements with respect to Proposal 3, and to set the fair value of the fractional shares. Management presented to the Board various value considerations. Upon consideration, the Board authorized management to set the fair value to be used as the Cash-Out Price at $0.28 per share of Common Stock.

Material Terms

Our Board has authorized the Reverse Stock Split, in order to reduce the number of record holders of our common stock to fewer than 300. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, Discontinued Shareholders (i.e., those holding fewer than the Ratio Number pre-Reverse Stock Split shares as of the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split) will have no further interest in Leafly, will no longer be shareholders of Leafly and will become entitled to receive only a cash payment equal to the $0.28 multiplied by the number of pre-Reverse Stock Split shares owned by them. Continuing Shareholders (i.e. those holding the Ratio Number or more pre-Reverse Stock Split shares as of the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split) will continue to be shareholders of Leafly after the Reverse Stock Split.

The Board believes that stockholder approval of a range of potential reverse stock split ratios is in the best interests of our Company and stockholders because it is not possible to predict the number of record holders and market conditions at the time a Reverse Stock Split would be implemented. We believe that a range of Reverse Stock Split Ratios provides us with the most flexibility to achieve the desired results of the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split Ratio to be selected by our Board will be not more than 1 for 500 or less than 1 for 200.

The selection of the specific Reverse Stock Split Ratio will be based on several factors, including, among other things:

We believe that granting our Board the authority to set the Reverse Stock Split Ratio is essential because it allows us to take these factors into consideration and to react to changing market conditions. If the Board chooses to implement the Reverse Stock Split, the Company will make a public announcement regarding the determination of the Reverse Stock Split Ratio.

The Board of Directors, taking into such considerations as described in greater detail under “Fairness of Transaction” below, has determined that the Cash-Out Price for the shares will be equal to $0.28 per share.

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, we anticipate that the number of our common stock issued and outstanding will be reduced from 3,128,803 (the number outstanding as of April 2, 2025) to range of approximately 5,000 to 6,000.

We estimate that the total cash to be paid to Discontinued Shareholders will be approximately $125,000. In addition, the expenses incurred to effect the Transaction are estimated to be $190,000. These expenses are expected to be paid out of our currently available cash. The fractional shares acquired in the Transaction will be cancelled and returned to the status of authorized but unissued common stock.

We intend to file with the SEC a Form 15 to deregister our common stock as soon as practicable after the consummation of the Transaction. Upon the filing of the Form 15, our obligation to file periodic and current reports (i.e., Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K) under the Exchange Act will be immediately suspended. Deregistration of our common stock will be effective 90 days after filing of the Form 15. During the 90 days prior to the effectiveness of the deregistration of our common stock, we will remain subject to the proxy solicitation rules under Section 14 of the Exchange Act, and our shareholders will remain subject to the beneficial ownership reporting and short swing profit disgorgement rules under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, as well as the beneficial ownership reporting rules under Section 13 of the Exchange Act. Upon deregistration of our common stock, our obligation to comply with the requirements of the proxy rules and to file proxy statements under Section 14 of the Exchange Act will also be terminated. We will not be required to file periodic reports with the SEC in the future unless we subsequently file another registration statement under the Securities Act or again have record holders of our common stock in excess of 300 on the first day of a subsequent fiscal year.

Under the current General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”), approval of the Reverse Stock Split proposal requires the approval of holders of a majority of the outstanding stock of the Company entitled to vote thereon and, to the extent applicable, by holders of a majority of the outstanding stock of each class of stock entitled to vote as a separate class. The Series A Preferred Stock, which will be voted on the Amendment to mirror the votes cast by the common stock, was issued to address the increasing challenge faced by many corporations in obtaining stockholder approval by a majority of outstanding shares for a reverse stock split, given that many outstanding shares of public companies are held by brokers and other record holders in “street name” and was issued solely for purposes of assisting the Company in obtaining the majority of outstanding vote requirement needed to approve the Reverse Stock Split. If a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the common stock at the Annual Meeting are cast in favor of the Reverse Stock Split, the Series A Preferred Stock should amplify those votes in such a way to reach the threshold required by the DGCL for the Reverse Stock Split.

Purpose and Reasons for the Transaction

The purpose of the Transaction is to reduce the number of record holders of our common stock to fewer than 300, thereby enabling us to deregister our common stock under the Exchange Act and suspend our duty to file periodic reports and other information with the SEC thereunder. This will enable us to terminate Leafly’s status as a public reporting company with the SEC and reduce the financial costs and administrative burdens incurred with respect to such status.

Our Board believes that the costs of being a public reporting company currently outweigh the benefits of being a public reporting company and, thus, that it is no longer in the best interests of Leafly or its shareholders, creditors, or other stakeholders, including unaffiliated shareholders, for Leafly to remain a public reporting company.

The trading price of our common stock has significantly declined since February 4, 2022, when the Company consummated a business combination with Merida Merger Corp. I, Merida Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub I”), and Merida Merger Sub II, LLC (“Merger Sub II”), from a high of $231.60 during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 to a low of $0.17 on April 10, 2025. The current trading price of our common stock together with our significant debt levels would make using our common stock as a vehicle to raise capital or to provide acquisition consideration practically impossible.

In addition, the legal requirements of being a public reporting company create large administrative and financial costs for us. If we cease to be subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, we estimate that our savings will be between $1,800,000 and $2,000,000 per year, including, legal, accounting and printing and staff fees and costs attributable to complying with such reporting requirements. We believe that these financial resources and time devoted to ongoing reporting could more effectively be devoted to other purposes. The going private transaction will also allow our management and employees to devote more time and effort to improving our operations by eliminating the time spent complying with our financial reporting requirements under the Exchange Act and managing shareholder relations.

In light of these factors, our Board reasonably believes that Leafly should go private through the Reverse Stock Split. We believe that we will reduce our expenses since we will no longer need to incur those costs associated with compliance with the reporting requirements of a public company.

The Reverse Stock Split will also provide the shareholders with a very efficient way to cash out their investment because it is unlikely that their shares can be sold on the OTC Pink Open Market at the Cash-Out Price. The trading volume in our common stock has been, and continues to be, limited. The average daily trading volume of our common stock over the twelve-month, six-month and three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 was approximately 371,700, 40,300 and 36,200 shares, respectively. The 30-day, 60-day and 90-day volume-weighted average price of our common stock as of March 31, 2025 was $0.23, $0.57 and $0.90, respectively. In addition to the liquidity provided by the Transaction, shareholders with small holdings will avoid incurring brokerage fees that are disproportionately high relative to the market value of our common stock if they sold their shares in the market.

Effects of the Transaction

Effects of the Transaction on Leafly

After the Transaction is completed, the number of record shareholders of our common stock will be reduced to below 300, which will enable us to deregister our common stock under the Exchange Act and suspend our duty to file periodic reports and other information with the SEC thereunder, which will substantially reduce the information required to be furnished by us to the public, including our shareholders. We will cease to file annual, quarterly, current, and other reports and documents with the SEC, and shareholders will cease to receive annual reports and proxy statements.

We intend to apply for deregistration of our common stock and suspension of our duty to file periodic reports and other information as soon as practicable following completion of the Transaction. See “— Purpose and Reasons for the Transaction.” However, our Board reserves the right, in its discretion, to abandon, postpone or modify the Transaction prior to the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split if it determines that doing so is in our best interests and the best interests of our shareholders. See “— Reservation.”

Other than as described in this Proxy Statement, neither Leafly nor its management has any current plans or proposals to do any of the following: effect any extraordinary corporate transaction (such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation); sell or transfer any material amount of Leafly’s assets; change the composition of our Board or management; change materially our dividend rate or policy, indebtedness or capitalization; or otherwise effect any material change in Leafly’s corporate structure or business. However, we are continuing to explore raising capital to help pay down our debt and/or provide us with growth capital.

We may, at our option at various times in the future, use such methods as we deem appropriate to ensure that the number of record holders of our common stock remains less than 300 under applicable SEC rules. We cannot predict the likelihood, timing or means of events, if any.

Effects of the Transaction on Our Shareholders

When the Transaction is consummated, Discontinued Shareholders (those owning fewer than Ratio Number pre-Reverse Stock Split shares) will no longer have any equity interest and will not participate in our future earnings or any increases in the value of our assets or operations. Only our Continuing Shareholders will benefit from any future increase in our earnings. The Continuing Shareholders will continue to have an equity interest in Leafly after the Transaction and will own common stock, the liquidity of which may be severely restricted.

Once we terminate the registration of our common stock and suspend our duty to file periodic reports and other information with the SEC, any trading in our common stock after the Transaction and deregistration under the Exchange Act will only occur in privately negotiated sales and potentially on the OTC Pink Open Market, if one or more brokers chooses to make a market for our common stock there and complies with applicable regulatory requirements.

The OTC Pink Open Market is the lowest tier of the three marketplaces for trading of OTC securities, which is a broker platform for trading securities operated by the OTC Markets Group Inc. There are no financial standards or disclosure requirements. For more

information about the OTC Markets Group, see https://www.otcmarkets.com/. To be traded on the OTC, a broker dealer would need to submit a Form 211 with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), and obtain FINRA approval for trading in the common stock. If such trading in our common stock were to develop on the OTC, we would expect it to occur at the Pink-No Information tier. The OTC Pink Open Market is not a stock exchange and we do not have the ability to list on, or control whether our shares are quoted on the OTC Pink Open Market. There is no assurance that there will be any OTC Pink Open Market quotations after the Transaction or that, if such quotations begin, they will continue for any length of time. Even if they do, the liquidity of our securities will be further limited because many brokers do not trade securities listed in the OTC Pink Open Market.

Furthermore, any remaining shareholders that hold “restricted securities” or “control securities”, within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may no longer be eligible to rely on Rule 144 to sell their shares. Rule 144 provides a safe harbor for the resale of restricted securities (i.e. sold in a private placement) or control securities under this Section 4(a)(1) exemption. It provides that if certain conditions are met (i.e. holding period, public information, etc.), a shareholder can sell restricted securities or control securities and not be deemed an “underwriter”. Securities of a former shell company, like Leafly, can be sold in reliance on Rule 144 if the issuer is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and has filed current “Form 10 information” with the SEC reflecting the issue is no longer a shell company; and one year has elapsed from the date that the issuer filed “Form 10 information” with the Commission. If the Company is no longer subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d), as will be the case after the Company files its Form 15, this safe harbor may not be available and holders of “restricted securities” or “control securities” will need to avail themselves of a different exemption in order to sell their shares. Note: If the shareholder wants to continue the investment in Leafly, before the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, Shareholders holding restricted securities would be able to sell their securities pursuant to Rule 144 until the Company files its Form 15, so long as the Company has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports. As of the date of this filing, the Company has filed all such reports.

Discontinued Shareholders will, following the Transaction, have their pre-Reverse Stock Split shares cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment. As soon as practicable after the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, we will send these shareholders a letter of transmittal with instructions as to how such shareholders will be paid the cash payment. The letter of transmittal will include instructions on how to surrender stock certificates. Continuing Shareholders will not receive any cash payment for their whole shares.

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” with respect to those shares. Your broker or other nominee is considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record. Although the Transaction is designed to reduce the number of shareholders of record, we intend to treat shareholders holding common stock in street name held through a broker or other nominee in the same manner as shareholders whose shares are registered in their names for purposes of the Transaction. Nominees will be instructed to effect the Transaction for their beneficial owners. However, nominees may have different administrative procedures with respect to how they communicate with beneficial owners, and shareholders owning shares in street name should contact their nominee(s).

Based on information available to us as of the date of this Proxy Statement, we estimate that the Transaction will reduce the number of record holders of our common stock from approximately 432 to approximately a range of 170 to 180. Leafly’s rationale for applying the Reverse Stock Split ratio in a range from 1 for 200 to 1 for 500 to all shareholders is that if a large enough number of holders holding in street name remained following the Transaction, and thereafter became shareholders of record, Leafly could again become subject to reporting obligations under Sections 15(d) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act. By reducing the number of shareholders of record well below 300 and reducing the number of holders holding in street name, we believe we have sufficiently limited the risk of having to re-commence filing reports with the SEC and to re-register under the Exchange Act.

Effects of the Transaction on Executive Officers, Directors and Greater than 5% Holders

For information regarding the voting ownership percentage before and after the Transaction of each of our named executive officers, our trustees and persons that beneficially own greater than 5% of our common stock, see “Leafly Information — Security and Voting Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.”

Pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, trustees, executive officers, and 10% shareholders of companies who have shares registered under the Exchange Act are required to report changes in their respective beneficial ownership of such shares to the SEC. Such insiders are required to file an initial Form 3 showing their respective beneficial holdings within 10 days after becoming subject to Section 16(a). Thereafter, a reporting insider is generally required to file a report on Form 4 within two business days following most acquisitions and dispositions of company shares by the insider. As a related deterrent to improper trading on inside information, insiders are also subject to the so-called short-swing profit disgorgement requirements of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. In general, these

requirements mandate the disgorgement by an insider of any paper profit realized on a purchase and a sale of company stock which occur within a six-month period. Transactions are generally paired so as to match the lowest purchase price and the highest sale price within the six-month period, thus extracting the maximum “profit” from the insider on the transaction or transactions. If Leafly declines to press a claim for disgorgement, a claim for recovery of profit may be asserted by any shareholder on behalf of Leafly. In addition to the effects of the Transaction on shareholders generally, when we complete the Transaction and deregister our common stock, our insiders will no longer be required to comply with these requirements.

Pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, shareholders who beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of our common stock are required to each file forms with the SEC containing information about such shareholder and the nature of the acquisition, and amendments thereto in certain circumstances. In addition to the effects of the Transaction on shareholders generally, when we complete the Transaction and deregister our common stock, shareholders who have acquired more than 5% of our common stock, and shareholders who may acquire more than 5% of our common stock in the future will no longer be required to comply with these requirements.

After the Form 15 is filed with the SEC, Leafly will no longer be subject to the periodic reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. Additionally, 90 days after the Form 15 is filed, Leafly’s common stock will be deregistered and Leafly will cease to be subject to the proxy rules under the Exchange Act, unless the SEC otherwise determines. As a result, information about our directors’ and officers’ compensation and share ownership will no longer be publicly available.

Potential Disadvantages of the Transaction to Shareholders

While we believe that the Transaction will result in the benefits described above, several disadvantages should also be noted:

Financial Effects of the Transaction

We estimate that completion of the Transaction will require us to spend approximately $190,000 in legal, financial and other fees and costs related to the Transaction. This estimate does not include the cost of the aggregate cash payment to for fractional shares, which we estimate will be approximately $125,000. These costs will be offset by the costs we would otherwise incur as a public reporting company to comply with SEC reporting requirements, which we estimate to be between $1,800,000 and $2,000,000 per year.

Reasons for the Reduction in the Authorized Number of Shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock

As a matter of Delaware law, implementation of the Reverse Stock Split does not require a change in the total number of shares of our common stock and preferred stock authorized under our Certificate of Incorporation. However, the proposed reduction in the total number of authorized shares of our common stock and preferred stock is designed to reduce certain of our costs, especially with respect to the Delaware franchise taxes. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to (a) 200,000,000 shares of common stock and (b) 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, which currently results in the Company paying $200,000 per year in Delaware franchise taxes. As of April 2, 2025, the Company only had 3,128,803 shares of common stock outstanding and one share of preferred stock outstanding, and no immediate plans to issue additional shares of common stock or preferred stock. The number of outstanding shares will be further reduced as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. A reduction in the number of authorized shares to 5,000,000 shares of common stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock would reduce the amount payable by the Company in the form of Delaware franchise taxes to $51,000 per year, a projected cost savings of $149,000 per year.

Effects of the Authorized Share Reduction

The authorized share reduction will have no effect on the Company or the stockholders, either financially or with respect to their rights and obligations with respect to their common stock. The only impact on the Company would be that the reduction in authorized shares will limit the number of shares the Company can issue in the future without seeking shareholder approval. Our board of directors believes that after the Authorized Share Reduction, the number of shares of common stock available for future issuance is sufficient for current anticipated future needs.

Fairness of the Transaction

Our Board has fully reviewed and considered the terms, purpose, alternatives and effects of the Transaction and has determined that the Transaction is in the best interests of Leafly and is substantively and procedurally fair to the unaffiliated shareholders of Leafly, including our unaffiliated Discontinued Shareholders who will be cashed-out as a result of the Transaction and our unaffiliated Continuing Shareholders who will continue to hold our common stock after the Transaction. After studying the Transaction and its anticipated effects on our shareholders, our Board unanimously approved the Transaction.

Substantive Fairness

In determining the fairness of the Transaction, our Board considered the factors discussed below, in addition to the alternative transactions discussed in “ — Alternatives to the Transaction.” In light of these factors, our Board believes that the Transaction is substantively fair to Leafly’s unaffiliated shareholders, including our unaffiliated Discontinued Shareholders who will be cashed-out as a result of the Transaction and our unaffiliated Continuing Shareholders who will continue to hold our common stock after the Transaction. Our Board did not assign specific weight to the factors set forth below in a formulaic fashion. Moreover, in their considerations, individual directors may have given differing weights to different factors. However, our Board did place special emphasis on the significant cost and time savings we expect Leafly to realize from deregistration of our common stock under the Exchange Act and the suspension of our duty to file periodic reports and other information with the SEC, which will benefit our Continuing Stockholders.

Significant Cost and Time Savings. By deregistering our common stock and suspending our duty to file periodic reports with the SEC, we estimate that we will realize recurring annual cost savings of between $1,800,000 and $2,000,000 per year, as well as savings from personnel expense relating to the time spent by our management to prepare and review our reports and certifications required to be filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act. The Continuing Shareholders will benefit from these expected future cost savings. In addition, our Board has determined that the costs of being a public company, currently and in the foreseeable future, will continue to outweigh the benefits of being a public company and, thus, it is no longer in the best interests of Leafly or its shareholders, creditors, or other stakeholders, including its unaffiliated Continuing Shareholders and unaffiliated Discontinued Shareholders, for Leafly to remain a public reporting company. See the “— Purpose and Reasons for the Transaction.”

Opportunity to Remain a Holder of, or to Liquidate, Common Stock. Another factor considered by our Board in determining the fairness of the Transaction to holders of our common stock is the opportunity Leafly’s shareholders have to remain shareholders or to liquidate their Company holdings. Current holders of fewer than the Ratio Number shares of common stock can either remain Company shareholders by acquiring additional shares so that they own at least the Ratio Number common stock immediately before the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split or be cashed out in the Reverse Stock Split. If a shareholder purchases additional common stock, then the shareholder may incur brokerage fees or commission. Holders of fewer than the Ratio Number common stock at the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split will have their fractional post-Reverse Stock Split shares purchased by Leafly at the Cash-Out Price, which as discussed below will determined based on the trading prices during the period leading up to the approval of the Transaction, if approved. Our Board did not quantify the consideration of brokerage fees and commissions paid for having such fractional shares cashed out in the Reverse Stock Split since such fees, if any, vary significantly depending upon the method used to

acquire or dispose of shares. Conversely, shareholders who own the Ratio Number shares or more and who desire to liquidate their shares in connection with the Transaction at the premium price offered can reduce their holdings to less than the lowest Ratio Number of shares by selling or gifting shares prior to the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split. Our Board did not place undue emphasis on this factor due to the limited trading market for our common stock. See “— Purpose and Reasons for the Transaction” and “— Structure of the Transaction.”

Recent and Historical Trading Prices. Our Board considered recent and historical trades of our common stock. The recent and historical trading of our common stock relates to the fairness of the Transaction to unaffiliated shareholders because it provides some insight into how the market has historically valued our common stock. Since unaffiliated Discontinued Shareholders will no longer be able to directly participate in the financial success of Leafly, the Cash-Out Price paid to these shareholders as a result of the Reverse Stock Split represents the final opportunity to obtain value for their investment. Although not a perfect measure, the trends over time in the market price of our common stock reflect market perceptions about Leafly’s intrinsic value.

In its deliberations concerning the fairness of the Transaction, our Board considered:

The Cash-Out Price of $0.28 per share represents approximately a 56% premium over the closing sales price of our common stock on the Record Date, and the date prior to the filing of the preliminary proxy statement, approximately a 40% premium over 10-Day VWAP and approximately a 22% premium over the 30-Day VWAP. Our Board believes that the Record Date closing price of our common stock, the closing price of the day prior to the filing of the preliminary proxy statement announcing the intention to engage in the Transaction, the 10-Day VWAP and the 30-Day VWAP are relevant data points because they reflect the most recent market data. Our Board believes that using these data points supports the Board’s fairness determination, in light of the relatively illiquid market for the common stock and the resulting inability to sell common stock in any quantity without exerting downward pressure on the trading price of the common stock. In addition, our Board believes the 30-Day VWAP is a relevant data point, as it demonstrates that the common stock have traded at these low levels for an extended period of time, especially after the Company’s securities were delisted from Nasdaq. The Board believes that trading prices from prior to the delisting of the common stock from Nasdaq, as reflected in the 60-Day VWAP, the 90-Day VWAP and 180-Day VWAP, is less relevant because that trading price does not reflect the significantly reduced liquidity available for the common stock on the OTC Pink Open Market, as evidenced by the steep decline in the trading price of the common stock upon delisting. Accordingly, our Board believes that the recent and historical trading prices support the Board’s determination that Cash-Out Price is fair to the unaffiliated Discontinued Stockholders and the unaffiliated Continuing Stockholders.

Net Book Value of Our Common Stock, Excluding Non-Controlling Interest and Intangible Assets. Our net book value per outstanding common share as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024 was negative $4.91 and negative $4.81, respectively. In considering the fairness of the Cash-Out Price, the Board considered that the net book value per share of common stock is negative supported the concept that the fair value of the common stock likely did not exceed the recent trading prices. Given that the Cash-Out Price will be positive while the net book value of our common stock is negative, the Cash-Out Price of $0.28 is a premium of $5.19 to the net book value per share.

Other Considerations of Value. In considering the fairness of the Cash-Out Price, the Board also considered the Company’s going concern status, as discussed in greater detail below under “Leafly – Going Concern Status” on page 41.

Treatment of Affiliated and Unaffiliated Holders of Our Common Stock. The Transaction will not affect holders of our common stock differently on the basis of affiliate status. The sole determining factor in whether a shareholder will be cashed out or will continue as a holder of our common stock as a result of the Transaction is the number of common stock held by the shareholder as of the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split. However, all of our Board, including Alan Pickerill who was a Board member at the time the Reverse Stock Split was approved by the Board, and all of our executive officers hold in excess of the highest possible Ratio Number shares. Accordingly, they will not be cashed out in the Transaction, but will receive cash for any fractional shares on the same terms as any other stockholder. The range of Reverse Stock Split ratios was selected solely based on the need to have fewer than 300 record holders after the Transaction in order to deregister and suspend our reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. While none of our affiliates that hold common stock will be cashed out in the Transaction, affiliates and non-affiliates will be treated equally in the Transaction, with any non-affiliate holding at least the Ratio Number of shares of common stock continuing to be a shareholder of Leafly.

Minimum Effect on Voting Power. The Transaction will have a minimum effect on the voting power of Leafly’s shareholders. The voting and other rights of our common stock will not be affected by the Transaction. The only effect of the Transaction on Leafly’s voting power will be a slight change in the overall ownership percentage of the Continuing Shareholders following the Transaction.

Minimum Effect on Shareholder Rights. The Transaction will not materially change the rights, preferences or limitations of the Continuing Shareholders.

Immediate Cash Payment. Those shareholders who own less than the Ratio Number of shares of our pre-Reverse Stock Split shares will receive an immediate cash payment of the Cash-Out Price per pre-Reverse Stock Split common share and will not pay any brokerage fees, commissions or transaction costs that such shareholders would have to pay if they were to sell their shares in the open market.

Potential Disadvantages of the Transaction. When considering the fairness of the Transaction, our Board also considered the following possible disadvantages of effecting the Transaction:

Possible Decline in Liquidity and Price of Our Common Stock. After the completion of the Transaction, our Continuing Shareholders may experience reduced liquidity for our common stock. This reduced liquidity may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. See “— Effects of the Transaction — Potential Disadvantages of the Transaction to Shareholders” and “— Significantly Reduced Public Disclosure of Information About Leafly” immediately below.

Significantly Reduced Public Disclosure of Information About Leafly. After deregistration of our common stock and suspension of our duty to file periodic reports and other information with the SEC, information regarding our operations and financial results that are currently available to the general public and our shareholders will no longer be readily available. However, we expect our common stock to continue to trade in the OTC Pink Open Market (a centralized quotation service that collects and publishes market maker quotes for securities). The amount of information required to be disclosed to facilitate trading in the OTC Pink marketplace is significantly less than the amount of information Leafly currently publicly discloses as a company with a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act. In addition, in the future, we may no longer trade in the OTC Pink Open Market. In which case, shareholders will have to make a request of Leafly if they want to be provided with information that Leafly is not otherwise required to provide by law. We may or may not provide shareholders with information, upon request or otherwise, that we are not required by law to provide. Our Board believes that the overall benefits to Leafly of no longer being a public reporting company substantially outweigh the disadvantages associated with decreased publicly available information about Leafly. See “— Effects of the Transaction — Potential Disadvantages of the Transaction to Shareholders.”

Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Other Reporting and Disclosure Provisions Will No Longer Apply to Leafly. After the completion of the Transaction and the deregistration of our common stock and suspension of our duty to file periodic reports and other information with the SEC, we will no longer be subject to the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or the liability provisions of the Exchange Act that apply to public companies, including the requirement that the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer certify the accuracy of the financial statements contained in our periodic reports. In addition, our officers, board members? and 10% or greater shareholders will no longer be subject to the short-swing profit disgorgement provisions and reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. See “— Effects of the Transaction — Potential Disadvantages of the Transaction to Shareholders.”

Leafly Will No Longer Have the Potential Benefits Normally Associated with Public Reporting Company Status. Another potential disadvantage of the Transaction is that we will no longer have the benefits associated with being a public reporting company, such as better access to the capital markets for issuances of securities. We would still have access to capital markets, but if we were to conduct a public offering of our securities, we would have to again become a reporting company, which would be a lengthy and expensive

process, and the expenses that we are seeking to eliminate would then be reinstated. We believe that the cost savings from ceasing to be a public reporting company outweigh the drawbacks of losing more ready access to the capital markets.

Holders of Restricted Stock or Control Securities Will Have a More Difficult Time Selling Their Shares. Furthermore, any remaining shareholders that holder “restricted securities” or “control securities”, within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Rule 144 provides a safe harbor for the resale of restricted securities (i.e. sold in a private placement) or control securities under this Section 4(a)(1) exemption. It provides that if certain conditions are met (i.e. holding period, public information, etc.), a shareholder can sell restricted securities or control securities and not be deemed an “underwriter”. Securities of a former shell company, like Leafly, can be sold in reliance on Rule 144 if the issuer is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and has filed current “Form 10 information” with the SEC reflecting the issue is no longer a shell company; and one year has elapsed from the date that the issuer filed “Form 10 information” with the Commission. If the Company is no longer subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d), as will be the case after the Company files its Form 15, this safe harbor may not be available and holders of “restricted securities” or “control securities” will need to avail themselves of a different exemption in order to sell their shares. Shareholders holding restricted securities would be able to sell their securities pursuant to Rule 144 until the Company files its Form 15, so long as the Company has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports. As of the date of this filing, the Company has filed all such reports.

Discontinued Shareholders Will Not Participate in Any Future Increases in Our Value. Following the Transaction, Discontinued Shareholders will no longer have an equity interest in Leafly and will not participate in our future earnings or any increases in the value of our assets or operations. See “— Effects of the Transaction — Potential Disadvantages of the Transaction to Shareholders.”

Shareholder Vote. The Transaction will require approval of holders of a majority of the outstanding voting power of the Company entitled to vote thereon, which in this case will mean the common stock and the Series A Preferred Stock voting together as a single class. The Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock” or “Series A Preferred”) was issued to address the increasing challenge faced by many corporations in obtaining stockholder approval by a majority of outstanding shares for a modifications to a certificate of incorporation like the Amendment, given that many outstanding shares of public companies are held by brokers and other record holders in “street name” and was issued solely for purposes of assisting the Company in obtaining the majority of outstanding vote requirement needed to approve the Amendment. The Series A Preferred Stock, as described in greater detail below, will have 100,000,000 votes with respect to the Transaction, but can only exercise those votes in a manner that mirrors the votes cast by holders of common stock on the Transaction.

The directors and officers (including Alan Pickerill who resigned effective April 1, 2025) of the Company only hold 6.8% of the voting power of the common stock as of the Record Date, which would not represent a majority even if the number of votes cast were limited to the minimum number of votes needed to reach a quorum. While Ms. Miyashita, as the sole holder of the Series A Preferred Stock, has additional voting power, because of the restrictions on the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series A Preferred Stock cannot be used to approve the Transaction if it is not otherwise approved by a majority of the votes cast by the common stock.

Although potentially relevant to a determination of fairness of the Transaction, the factors listed below, for the reasons given, were determined by our Board to not be applicable to Leafly and were not considered or were not given any weight by our Board.

Going Concern Valuation. An indicator of going concern value is the discounted future cash receipts approach. Given the other considerations discussed herein, our Board did not pursue this approach due to the significance of the subjective assumptions that would be involved in such an approach, as well as the expense associated with the approach.

Liquidation Value . Our Board viewed the liquidation value of Leafly to be an inappropriate measure for the purpose of evaluating the fairness of the Cash-Out Price. A liquidation process would also involve additional legal fees, costs of sale and other expenses that would reduce any amounts that stockholders might receive upon a liquidation. Given the other factors considered by our Board as described in this Proxy Statement, our Board did not pursue a liquidation value approach.

No Firm Offers Have Been Received. During the past two years, we have not received any firm offers for a merger or consolidation with or into another company, or the sale or other transfer of all or substantially all of our assets, or a purchase of our securities by a person that would involve a change in our control. The Company’s efforts with respect to a potential strategic transaction are discussed below under “Previous Contacts and Negotiations.” Accordingly, our Board did not consider firm offers in making its determination with respect to the fairness of the Transaction. To the extent that the Company has received any indications of interest, the Board considered these, like considerations of net book value, as support for using a market based method for determining value, since the transactions proposed by the indications of interest would provide stockholders with less consideration than Cash-Out Price

as proposed; all non-binding indications of interest received suggested an enterprise value for the Company that was less than the amount of the outstanding Notes.

Purchase Price Paid for Repurchases of Our Common Stock. We have not repurchased any of our common stock in the last two years. Accordingly, our Board could not consider repurchase prices in determining the fairness of the Transaction.

Our Board believes that all of the factors mentioned above, both favorable and unfavorable, when viewed together support a conclusion that the Transaction is substantively fair to all of Leafly shareholders, including the unaffiliated Discontinued Shareholders who will be cashed out as a result of the Transaction and the unaffiliated Continuing Shareholders who will continue to be shareholders of Leafly after the Transaction.

Procedural Fairness of the Transaction

In addition to the fairness of the substance of the Transaction, our Board believes that the process by which decisions were made regarding the Transaction is fair to Leafly’s affiliated and the unaffiliated shareholders, including the unaffiliated Discontinued Shareholders who will be cashed out as a result of the Transaction and the unaffiliated Continuing Shareholders who will continue to be shareholders of Leafly after the Transaction.

Our Board, which at the time the Transaction was considered and approved consisted of at least 50% of directors that were independent under the independence standards of Nasdaq and our Chief Executive Officer and President, unanimously approved the Transaction. Given the independence of the directors approving the Transaction and the lack of conflicts of interest with respect of our management and the Transaction, our Board did not consider it necessary to appoint a special committee to negotiate and approve the Transaction.

Our Board did not receive a report, opinion or appraisal from an outside party as to the value of our common stock or the fairness of the Transaction to unaffiliated Discontinued Shareholders who will be cashed out as a result of the Transaction or unaffiliated Continuing Shareholders who will remain shareholders following the Transaction. Our Board concluded that there were already sufficient procedural safeguards without the expense of retaining an independent fairness advisor, particularly since a shareholder could change his or her stock holdings prior to the effective date of the Transaction in order to be cashed out as a result of the Transaction or continue as a shareholder of Leafly following the Transaction. In addition, our Board recognized the importance of preserving Leafly’s cash position and completing the Transaction as expeditiously as practicable.

The independent members of our Board did not retain an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of the unaffiliated shareholders for the purpose of setting the terms of the Transaction, particularly since a stockholder could change his or her stock holdings prior to the effective date of the Transaction in order to be cashed out as a result of the Transaction or continue as a shareholder of Leafly following the Transaction. In addition, our Board recognized the importance of preserving our cash position and completing the Transaction as expeditiously as practicable.

Our Board has not granted unaffiliated shareholders access to our corporate files nor has it extended the right to retain counsel or appraisal services at our expense. With respect to unaffiliated shareholders’ access to our corporate files, our Board believes that this Proxy Statement, together with our other filings with the SEC, provide adequate information for unaffiliated shareholders. In deciding not to adopt these additional procedures, our Board also took into account factors such as our size and financial capacity and the costs of such procedures.

Alternatives to the Transaction

Our Board considered several alternatives in advance of authorizing the Transaction.

The Board considered a tender offer as a means of reducing the number of shareholders, but noted we would have had to hire a dealer manager and solicitation agent at relatively significant expense. Also, in a tender offer, there would have been no guarantee that enough shareholders would have tendered their shares to reduce the number of shareholders to below 300.

Our Board also considered having Leafly continue as a public company. However, given the costs savings that will be achieved from eliminating our status as a public company and the lack of any significant benefit that we derive out of being a public company, our Board believes that “going private” is in the best interests of Leafly.

As described above under “Special Factors - Background of the Transaction” and below under “Previous Contacts and Negotiations”, the Board also considered a sale of the Company.

Previous Contacts and Negotiations

As described in detail above under “Special Factors - Background of the Transaction”, since early 2024, the Board spent extensive time exploring various strategic alternatives for the Company. The Board considered strategic transactions, financing transactions, and insolvency proceedings. Notably, because the Company is involved in the cannabis industry, it has limited options with respect to bankruptcy relief. The Company engaged a financial advisor to engage in a process to market the Company, including outreach to potential interested third parties with respect to a merger; consolidation; acquisition; or sale or other transfer of a material amount of assets of the subject company. While the Company received several non-binding indications of interest and engaged in negotiations with several prospective strategic partners, the Company received no firm offers and was ultimately unable to negotiate a strategic transaction that the Board of Directors believed would be in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders. Any indications of interest were unlikely to result in any payments to shareholders with respect to their shares of common stock because the proposed purchase price was at or below the amount of the Company’s outstanding debt under the Notes. In addition, a third party made unsolicited non-binding acquisition proposals to the Company in early 2024 and early 2025, but such proposals were determined by the Board to be immaterial in terms of offered consideration and credibility, and was unlikely to lead to a bona fide offer.

Structure of the Transaction

The Transaction consists of a Reverse Stock Split (including a cash payment in lieu of receipt of a fractional share to a shareholder holding fewer than the Ratio Number of pre-Reverse Stock Split shares). Assuming the Reverse Stock Split is approved at the Annual Meeting, the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split will be May 28, 2025 or such later date as determined by our Board. On the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, each shareholder of record will receive one share of common stock for every Ratio Number of pre-Reverse Stock Split shares held in his or her account as of such date. Any shareholder of record who holds fewer than the Ratio Number of pre-Reverse Stock Split shares in his or her account at the time of the Reverse Stock Split will receive a Cash-Out Price per pre-Reverse Stock Split share and will no longer be a shareholder of Leafly after the Transaction.

We intend for the Transaction to treat shareholders holding common stock in street name through a nominee (such as a bank or broker) in the same manner as shareholders whose shares are held of record in their own names, and nominees will be instructed to effect the Transaction for their beneficial holders. However, nominees may have different procedures and shareholders holding shares in street name should contact their nominees.

In general, the Transaction can be illustrated by the following examples, assuming a Reverse Stock Split Ratio of 1 for 200 (though there is no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split Ratio would be 1 for 200):

Example 1. A shareholder holds 150 common stock in his account before the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split. Instead of receiving a fractional share of our common stock immediately after the Reverse Stock Split, the shareholder’s shares will be converted into the right to receive cash. The shareholder would receive $42.00 ($0.28 x 150 shares). Note: If the shareholder wants to continue the investment in Leafly, before the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, the shareholder can buy at least 50 more shares. The shareholder would have to act far enough in advance of the Reverse Stock Split so that the purchase is completed and the additional shares are credited in his account by the effective date.

Example 2. A shareholder holds 1,500 common stock as of the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split. After the Reverse Stock Split, the shareholder will hold seven shares of common stock, and receive $28.00 ($0.28 x 100 shares) for the remaining fraction of a share.

Example 3. A shareholder has two separate accounts. As of the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, the shareholder holds 100 common stock in one account and 150 common stock in the other. If we can determine that the two separate accounts belong to the same person (based upon the name of the account and the social security number associated with the account), then we will treat the two accounts as a single account. Accordingly, the shareholder will be treated as having more than 250 pre-Reverse Stock Split shares. In the Reverse Stock Split, the shareholder’s stock will be converted into 1 share of common stock. We will cash out the shareholder’s 0.25 post-Reverse Stock Split fractional shares, representing 50 pre-Reverse Stock Split shares for $14.00.

If, however, we are unable to determine that the two separate accounts belong to the same person, then the shareholder will receive cash payments equal to the Cash-Out Price of the common stock in each account. In this case, the shareholder would receive two checks totaling $70.00 ($0.28 x 100 shares = $28.00; $0.28 x 150 shares = $42.00). Note: If the shareholder wants to be certain to continue as a shareholder in Leafly, the shareholder can consolidate or transfer two accounts before the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split into an account with at least 200 pre-Reverse Stock Split shares. Alternatively, the shareholder can buy at least 100 more shares for the account with 100 common stock and 50 more shares for the account with 150 common stock, and hold them in such shareholder’s respective accounts. The shareholder would have to act far enough in advance of the Reverse Stock Split so that the consolidation or the purchase is completed by the effective date.

Example 4. A shareholder holds 150 common stock in street name in a brokerage account as of the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split. We intend for the Transaction to treat shareholders holding shares of our common stock in street name through a nominee (such as a bank or broker) in the same manner as shareholders whose shares are registered in their names. Nominees will be instructed to effect the Transaction for their beneficial holders. If this occurs, the shareholder will receive, through the shareholder’s broker, a check for $42.00 ($0.28 x 150 shares). However, nominees may have a different procedure and shareholders holding shares of our common stock in street name should contact their nominees.

Exchange of Share Certificates for Cash Payment for Discontinued Stockholders

As soon as practicable after the effective date, holders of fewer than the Ratio Number shares will be notified and sent a letter of transmittal and instructed how to transmit their certificates representing common stock to the Exchange Agent. Upon proper completion and execution of the letter of transmittal, and the return of the letter of transmittal and accompanying share certificate(s), each shareholder entitled to receive payment will receive payment as outlined in the letter of transmittal. Shareholders should allow for approximately five business days after mailing for our exchange agent to receive the letter of transmittal and accompanying stock certificate and approximately seven to 10 business days following our exchange agent’s receipt of properly completed materials for payment to be made. In the event we are unable to locate a shareholder, or if a shareholder fails to properly complete, execute and return the letter of transmittal and accompanying stock certificate any funds payable to such shareholder pursuant to the Transaction will be held by our exchange agent until a proper claim is made, subject to applicable abandoned property laws. Holders of fewer than the Ratio Number shares of common stock on the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split will receive in exchange a cash payment in the amount of the Cash-Out Price per pre-Reverse Stock Split share.

No service charges or expenses will be payable by shareholders in connection with the exchange of certificates for cash, except for service charges or expenses, if any, imposed by your nominee. In the event that any certificate representing common stock is not presented, the applicable cash payment will be administered in accordance with the relevant state abandoned property laws. Until the cash payments have been delivered to the appropriate public official pursuant to the abandoned property laws, such payments will be paid to the holder of the eligible certificate or his, her or its designee, without interest, at such time as the common stock have been properly presented for exchange.

Exchange of Share Certificates of Continuing Shareholders

As soon as practicable after the effective date, Continuing Shareholders will be sent a letter of transmittal explaining how they can exchange their certificates representing the number of common stock they held prior to the Transaction for new share certificates representing the number of whole common stock they hold after the Transaction. To the extent a Continuing Stockholder holds fractional shares immediately after the Reverse Stock Split, that Continuing Stockholder will be entitled to receive a cash payment for those fractional shares from the exchange agent at the Cash-Out Price. No service charges or expenses will be payable by Continuing Shareholders in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, except for service charges or expenses, if any, imposed by your nominee. Upon proper completion and execution of the letter of transmittal, and the return of the letter of transmittal and accompanying share certificate(s), each Continuing Shareholder entitled to receive payment in connection with the Reverse Stock Split will receive payment as outlined in the letter of transmittal. Shareholders should allow for approximately five business days after mailing for our exchange agent to receive the letter of transmittal and accompanying stock certificate and approximately seven to 10 business days following our exchange agent’s receipt of properly completed materials for payment to be made and a new share certificate to be issued. In the event we are unable to locate a Continuing Shareholder, or if a Continuing Shareholder fails to properly complete, execute and return the letter of transmittal and accompanying share certificate, any funds payable to such shareholder pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split will be held by our Exchange Agent until a proper claim is made, subject to applicable abandoned property laws.

If a Continuing Shareholder fails to exchange such Continuing Shareholders pre-Transaction share certificate in accordance with the letter of transmittal, then such pre-Transaction share certificate shall be deemed to represent the number of whole common stock held by the Continuing Shareholder as a result of the Transaction.

Recommendation and Voting

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends in favor of the Transaction. Our directors and executive officers have indicated that they intend to vote all of the shares of our common stock held or controlled by them (218,136 shares of common stock) “FOR” the Transaction.

In addition, Ms. Miyashita currently holds one share of Series A Preferred Stock, which will have 100,000,000 votes, but has the right to vote only on any proposal involving a reverse stock split and/or a decrease in the number of authorized shares of common stock, like Proposal No. 3, and until such time as a such proposal is approved by the stockholders, and will have no voting rights except (i) with respect to such proposal in which its votes are cast for and against such proposal in the same proportion as shares of

common stock are voted for and against such proposal (with any shares of common stock that are not voted, whether due to abstentions, broker non-votes or otherwise not counted as votes for or against the Reverse Stock Split proposal) and (ii) unless the holders of shares of outstanding capital stock representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting of stockholders at which a such proposal is submitted for stockholder approval (or any adjournment thereof). The share of Series A Preferred Stock will vote together with the common stock as a single class on any Proposal No. 3. The Series A Preferred Stock has no other voting rights, except as may be required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Prior to the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, stockholder approval of an Amendment and Transaction like that described by Proposal No. 3 required the affirmative approval of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of common stock. Following the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, stockholder approval of Proposal No. 3 requires affirmative approval from a majority of the voting power of the shares of common stock and the share of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class. Ms. Miyashita will cast the votes represented by the share of Series A Preferred on Proposal No. 3 in a manner that mirrors the votes cast by holders of common stock on such proposal. Prior to the issuance of the share of Series A Preferred Stock, abstentions and any other non-votes would have had the same effect as a vote against Proposal No. 3. Following the issuance of the share of Series A Preferred Stock, abstentions and any other non-votes on Proposal No. 3 will still technically have the same effect as a vote against such proposal, but because the share of Series A Preferred has a high number of votes and will vote in a manner that mirrors votes actually cast by the holders of common stock (which does not include abstentions or any other non-votes), abstentions and any other non-votes will have no effect on the manner in which the Series A Preferred Stock votes are cast.

Reservation

Although our Board has approved the Transaction and subsequent termination of registration of our common stock under the Exchange Act and suspension of our duty to file periodic reports and other information with the SEC thereunder, our Board reserves the right to abandon, postpone or modify the Transaction and such termination and suspension at any time before they are consummated for any reason. A number of factors or circumstances could cause our Board to abandon, postpone or modify the Transaction and such deregistration and suspension, including, without limitation, the following:

If we abandon, postpone or modify the Transaction, we will issue a press release and File a Form 8-K or, if required by law, mail information to our shareholders, informing our shareholders of any such change (“Notice”). In the event we change the terms of the Transaction, including the effective date of the Transaction, but still intend to complete the Transaction, we will provide Notice at least 10 days prior to the effective date (or the new effective date if the effective date is postponed) of the Transaction.

OTHER MATTERS RELATED TO THE TRANSACTION

Potential Conflicts of Interest

Our directors, executive officers, 5% stockholders and their affiliates will be treated the same as any other stockholder in the Transaction. Notwithstanding such treatment, our directors, executive officers and may have interests in the Transaction that are different from stockholders that are unaffiliated with Leafly, and have relationships that may present conflicts of interest. For

information about these differences, please see “Special Factors - Effects of the Transaction on Executive Officers, Directors and Greater than 5% Holders” on page 27, “Treatment of Affiliated and Unaffiliated Holders of Our Common Stock” on page 31, and “Minimum Effect on Voting Power” on page 31.

In addition, by deregistering our common stock under the Exchange Act and suspending our duty to file periodic reports with the SEC thereunder, subsequent to the consummation of the Transaction we will no longer be prohibited, pursuant to Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, from making personal loans to our directors or executive officers and they will no longer be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to reporting requirements and short swing profits disgorgement provisions.

Regulatory Approvals

The Company is not aware of any material governmental or regulatory approval required for completion of the Transaction, other than compliance with the relevant federal securities laws and Delaware law.

Litigation

There is no ongoing litigation related to the Reverse Stock Split or the Transaction, nor does the Company have any material litigation.

Stockholder Approval of the Transaction

The presence, virtually via the live audiocast or by proxy, of holders of at least 33 1∕3% of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. If a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, we expect that the meeting will be adjourned or postponed to solicit additional proxies. Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy or vote virtually via the live audiocast at the Annual Meeting.

Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. The single outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to 100,000,000 votes, but only on Proposal No. 3 and such votes will be voted as to mirror the votes of the common stock, as discussed in greater detail above under “Recommendation and Voting.” Once a quorum has been established, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the common stock and the Series A Preferred Stock of the Company, voting together as a single class, represented in person or by proxy at the meeting is required to approve the Amendment necessary to effectuate the Transaction.

If your broker holds your shares in its name and does not receive voting instructions from you with respect to Proposal No. 3 related to the Transaction, your broker does not have discretionary voting power for those particular items. Therefore, if you are a beneficial owner and do not provide your broker with voting instructions, your shares may constitute broker non-votes with respect to the Proposal No. 3.

No Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights

No appraisal or dissenters’ rights are available to our shareholders who dissent from the Transaction are provided under Delaware law our Certificate of Incorporation or our bylaws.

Change Related to Board of Directors Composition

There are no plans to change the composition of the Board of Directors in connection with the Transaction.

Officer and Director Compensation

No officer or director of the Company will receive any compensation related to the Transaction, except as discussed above under “Conflicts of Interest”.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

AS REQUIRED BY U.S. TREASURY REGULATIONS GOVERNING TAX PRACTICE, YOU ARE HEREBY ADVISED THAT ANY WRITTEN TAX ADVICE CONTAINED HEREIN WAS NOT WRITTEN OR INTENDED TO BE USED (AND CANNOT BE USED) BY ANY TAXPAYER FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED UNDER THE CODE. THE ADVICE WAS PREPARED TO SUPPORT THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR

MATTERS ADDRESSED BY THE WRITTEN ADVICE. ANY PERSON REVIEWING THIS DISCUSSION SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON SUCH PERSON'S PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split

The following is a summary of the material United States federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations relating thereto. This summary is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as of the date hereof. These authorities may be changed, possibly retroactively, so as to result in United States federal income tax consequences different from those set forth below. We have not sought any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following summary, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with such statements and conclusions.

This summary also does not address the tax considerations arising under the laws of any foreign, state or local jurisdiction. In addition, this discussion does not address tax considerations applicable to a stockholder’s particular circumstances or to stockholders that may be subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation:

In addition, if a partnership holds our Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. Accordingly, partnerships which hold our Common Stock and partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors.

YOU ARE URGED TO CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON STOCK ARISING UNDER THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX RULES OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN OR OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATY.

Leafly Holdings, Inc.

We believe that the Reverse Stock Split will constitute a reorganization as described in Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code. Accordingly, we will not recognize taxable income, gain or loss in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.

Stockholders

The federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split for our stockholders will differ depending on the number of shares of pre-split common stock owned and, in some cases, constructively owned by such stockholders. As set forth in more detail below, stockholders who own at least the Ratio Number of shares of pre-split common stock will retain their shares and will not recognize any gain, loss or dividend income as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who own fewer than the Ratio Number of shares of pre-split Common Stock will receive cash, the treatment of which will depend on whether the constructive ownership rules

described below are applicable. If such constructive ownership rules do not apply, a stockholder who owns fewer than the Ratio Number of shares of pre-split common stock generally will recognize gain or loss upon the sale or exchange of the pre-split common stock. If such constructive ownership rules apply, the stockholder may be required to treat any cash received as a dividend distribution rather than as gain or loss from a sale or exchange, as more fully described below. The differences in tax consequences to the stockholders do not depend on whether a stockholder is an affiliate of the Company, has voted to approve the Reverse Stock Split or is an unaffiliated stockholder. Neither the differences in tax consequences between stockholders who hold at least the Ratio Number of shares of pre-split common stock and stockholders who own fewer than the Ratio Number of shares of pre-split common stock nor the differences in tax consequences between the stockholders and the Company were reasons for the Company to undertake the Reverse Stock Split in this form at this time.

Stockholders Who Receive Shares of Post-Split Common Stock

A stockholder who retains shares of post-split common stock in the transaction (i.e., a stockholder who owns at least the Ratio Number of shares of pre-split common stock) will not recognize gain or loss or dividend income as a result of the Reverse Stock Split with respect to their continuing shares, and the tax basis (as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split) and holding period of such stockholder in shares of pre-split common stock will carry over as the tax basis and holding period of such stockholder’s shares of post-split common stock.

Stockholders Who Receive Cash

The cash received by stockholders in the Reverse Stock Split will be treated as having such shares redeemed in a taxable transaction governed by Section 302 of the Code and, depending on a stockholder’s situation, the transaction will be taxed as either:

Amounts treated as gain or loss from the sale or exchange of redeemed shares will be capital gain or loss. Amounts treated as a taxable dividend are ordinary income to the recipient; however, a corporate taxpayer (other than an S corporation) may be allowed a dividends received deduction subject to applicable limitations and other special rules.

Under Section 302 of the Code, a redemption of shares from a stockholder as part of the Reverse Stock Split will be treated as a sale or exchange of the redeemed shares if:

These three tests (the “Section 302 Tests”) are applied by taking into account not only shares that a stockholder actually owns, but also shares that the stockholder constructively owns pursuant to Section 318 of the Code. Under the constructive ownership rules of Section 318 of the Code, a stockholder is deemed to constructively own shares owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the stockholder has an interest in addition to shares directly owned by the stockholder. For example, an individual stockholder is considered to own shares owned by or for his or her spouse and his or her children, grandchildren and parents (“family attribution”). In addition, a stockholder is considered to own a proportionate number of shares owned by estates or certain trusts in which the stockholder has a beneficial interest, by partnerships in which the stockholder is a partner, and by corporations in which 50% or more in value of the stock is owned directly or indirectly by or for such stockholder. Similarly, shares directly or indirectly owned by beneficiaries of estates of certain trusts, by partners of partnerships and, under certain circumstances, by stockholders of corporations may be considered owned by these entities (“entity attribution”). A stockholder is also deemed to own shares which the stockholder has the right to acquire by exercise of an option or by conversion or exchange of a security. Constructively owned shares may be reattributed to another taxpayer. For example, shares attributed to one taxpayer as a result of entity attribution may be attributed from that taxpayer to another taxpayer through family attribution.

A stockholder who receives cash in the Reverse Stock Split (i.e., owns fewer than the Ratio Number of shares of pre-split Common Stock) and does not constructively own any shares of post-split common stock will have his or her interest in the Company completely terminated by the Reverse Stock Split and will therefore receive sale or exchange treatment on his or her pre-split common stock. That

is, such a stockholder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the cash payment and the stockholder’s tax basis for his or her shares of pre-split common stock.

A stockholder who receives cash in the Reverse Stock Split and would only constructively own shares of post-split common stock as a result of family attribution may be able to avoid constructive ownership of the shares of post-split common stock by waiving family attribution and, thus, be treated as having had his or her interest in the Company completely terminated by the Reverse Stock Split. Among other things, waiving family attribution requires (i) that the stockholder have no interest in the Company (including as an officer, director, employee or stockholder) other than an interest as a creditor and does not acquire such an interest during the ten-year period immediately following the Reverse Stock Split other than stock acquired by bequest or inheritance and (ii) including an election to waive family attribution in the stockholder’s tax return for the year in which the Reverse Stock Split occurs.

A stockholder who receives cash in the Reverse Stock Split and immediately after the Reverse Stock Split constructively owns shares of post-split common stock must compare (i) his, her or its percentage ownership immediately before the Reverse Stock Split (i.e., the number of voting shares actually or constructively owned by him, her or it immediately before the Reverse Stock Split divided by the number of voting shares outstanding immediately before the Reverse Stock Split) with (ii) his, her or its percentage ownership immediately after the Reverse Stock Split (i.e., the number of voting shares constructively owned by his, her or it immediately after the Reverse Stock Split divided by the number of voting shares outstanding immediately after the Reverse Stock Split).

If the stockholder’s post-Reverse Stock Split ownership percentage is less than 80% of the stockholder’s pre-Reverse Stock Split ownership percentage, the receipt of cash is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the stockholder, and the stockholder will, therefore, receive sale or exchange treatment on the portion of his, her or its shares of pre-split Common Stock exchanged for cash in lieu of fractional shares.

If the receipt of cash by a stockholder fails to constitute an “exchange” under the “substantially disproportionate” test or the “complete termination” test, the receipt of cash may constitute an “exchange” under the “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” test. The receipt of cash by a stockholder will be “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” if the transaction results in a “meaningful reduction” of the stockholder’s proportionate interest in the Company. If (i) the stockholder exercises no control over the affairs of the Company (e.g., is not an officer, director or high ranking employee), (ii) the stockholder’s relative stock interest in the Company is minimal, and (iii) the stockholder’s post-Reverse/ Forward Stock Split ownership percentage is less than the stockholder’s pre-Reverse/ Forward Stock Split ownership percentage, the receipt of cash will generally not be essentially equivalent to a dividend with respect to the stockholder and the stockholder will, therefore, receive sale or exchange treatment on the portion of his, her or its shares of pre-split common stock exchanged for cash in lieu of fractional shares.

In all other cases, cash in lieu of fractional shares received by a stockholder who immediately after the Reverse Stock Split constructively owns shares of post-split common stock will be treated: (i) first, as a taxable dividend to the extent of allocable earnings and profits, if any; (ii) second, as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the stockholder’s tax basis in the redeemed shares; and (iii) finally, as gain from the sale or exchange of the redeemed shares.

Backup Tax Withholding

We are required to furnish to the holders of common stock, other than corporations and other exempt holders, and to the IRS, information with respect to dividends paid on the common stock.

You may be subject to backup withholding with respect to proceeds received from a disposition of the shares of common stock. Certain holders (including, among others, corporations and certain tax-exempt organizations) are generally not subject to backup withholding. You will be subject to backup withholding if you are not otherwise exempt and you (a) fail to furnish your taxpayer identification number (“TIN”), which, for an individual, is ordinarily his or her social security number; (b) furnish an incorrect TIN; (c) are notified by the IRS that you have failed to properly report payments of interest or dividends; or (d) fail to certify, under penalties of perjury, that you have furnished a correct TIN and that the IRS has not notified you that you are subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax but, rather, is a method of tax collection. You generally will be entitled to credit any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules against your United States federal income tax liability provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

Source and Amounts of Funds

Based on estimates of the record ownership of shares of our common stock, the number of shares of our common stock outstanding and other information as of April 10, 2025, and assuming that approximately 447,000 pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of our common stock are cancelled in the Reverse Stock Split (which in the aggregate constitute less than 15% of our common stock outstanding before the Reverse Stock Split), Leafly estimates that the total funds required to consummate the Transaction will be approximately $315,020. Approximately $125,000 of this amount will be used to pay the consideration for fractional shares of our common stock

resulting from the Reverse Stock Split and approximately $190,000 will be used to pay the costs of the Transaction, estimated as follows:

Final costs of the Transaction may be more or less than the estimates shown above. Leafly expects to pay the costs of the Transaction, including the amounts to be paid to shareholders holding fewer than the Ratio Number of shares of our common stock, out of our currently available cash.

LEAFLY INFORMATION

Leafly

Leafly’s mission is to help people discover cannabis. We endeavor to serve as the world’s most trusted destination to discover and shop for legal cannabis. The Company was founded in 2010 with the objective to demystify cannabis, a product that lived in the shadows through decades of prohibition. Tens of millions of unique visitors access Leafly each year to learn more about legal cannabis, discover what products are right for them, and to shop with regulation-compliant local businesses. Through helping people navigate their cannabis journey, Leafly helps millions of consumers discover the benefits of cannabis.

Leafly began as a platform to provide consumers with trusted cannabis information. Since then, Leafly has evolved into a content-first, community-driven, multi-sided marketplace that connects consumers to cannabis brands and licensed retailers. We offer cannabis retailers and brands subscription-based marketplace listings that provide our broad-based cannabis audience with information, reviews, menus, and ordering and delivery options through legal retailers. Our audience — which was over 70 million in 2023 — chooses Leafly for our unique, original content and data.

On February 4, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), we consummated a business combination in connection with that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 9, 2021 and amended on September 8, 2021 (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Merida (as defined below), Merger Sub I (as defined below), Merger Sub II (as defined below) and Leafly Holdings, Inc., a Washington corporation (“Legacy Leafly”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and in connection therewith, at the Closing, among other things, (i) Merger Sub I merged with and into Legacy Leafly (the “Initial Merger”), with Legacy Leafly being the surviving entity (the “Initial Surviving Company”) of the Initial Merger and Legacy Leafly’s shareholders receiving Common Stock, in exchange for their equity securities of Legacy Leafly, and (ii) immediately following the Initial Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the Initial Merger, the Initial Surviving Company merged with and into Merger Sub II (the “Final Merger” and, together with the Initial Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub II surviving the Final Merger as a limited liability company named Leafly, LLC (the “Final Surviving Company”). In connection with the Closing, the registrant changed its name from “Merida Merger Corp. I” to “Leafly Holdings, Inc.” As a result of the foregoing business combination (the “Business Combination”) and such name change, Legacy Leafly became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with the securityholders of Legacy Leafly becoming securityholders of the Company.

Our principal executive offices are located at 600 1st Avenue, Suite 330, PMB 88154, Seattle, Washington.

Going Concern Status

Under the rules of ASC Subtopic 205-40 “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern” (“ASC 205-40”), reporting companies are required to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about their ability to meet their future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. This evaluation takes into account a company’s current available cash and projected cash needs over the one-year evaluation period but may not consider things beyond its control. At December 31, 2024, we had $29.4 million of 2022 Notes (defined below) which were scheduled to mature on January 31, 2025 and were modified on January 15, 2025 and extended to July 1, 2025, contingent upon a 12.5% reduction in principal that was paid on January 21, 2025. Based on its current liquidity position the Company would not be able to repay the 2022

Notes when due. In addition, as noted above, the Company has experienced revenue declines, incurred recurring operating losses, used cash from operations, and relied on the capital raised in the Business Combination to continue ongoing operations. The Company has incurred operating losses since its inception and had an accumulated deficit of $79.9 million and $74.2 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These conditions, when considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that its 2024 financial statements are issued.

The Company’s management is closely monitoring and reducing operating expenses where it is able to, while ensuring the trajectory and viability of the business remains intact. However, the Company cannot meet its debt maturity obligations without a significant capital infusion or a lender’s commitment to refinance the debt. After considering all available evidence, Leafly’s management determined that the combined impact of the cost reduction measures, Leafly’s current negative working capital of $17.9 million as of December 31, 2024 and planned operations will not be sufficient to meet the Company’s capital requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date that these December 31, 2024 financial statements are issued and that substantial doubt exists about Leafly’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management will continue to evaluate our liquidity and capital resources.

Our ability to continue as a going concern may depend on our ability to raise additional funds, which we may seek to do through equity or debt financings, or seek to refinance the 2022 Notes. As substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern exists, our ability to raise additional funds through the sale and issuance of equity or debt securities or through bank or other financing could be substantially impaired. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional funds or have access to bank or other financings or even if we have access to such financing, that it will be available on terms commercially acceptable to the Company. If we raise funds by issuing debt securities or preferred stock, or by incurring loans, these forms of financing would have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock. If adequate capital is not available to us when needed, or in the amounts required, we may be forced to terminate, significantly curtail or cease our operations or to pursue other strategic alternatives, including bankruptcy, which may not be available to us. Our consolidated results of operations could be materially adversely affected by these decisions and shareholders could lose all of your investment in the Company.

Company Securities

Shares Issued and Outstanding

The following description summarizes the material terms of the securities of Leafly Holdings, Inc. registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”): (1) common stock and (2) Warrants to purchase common stock. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to the provisions of Leafly’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”), Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated February 4, 2022, by and among Leafly and certain stockholders of Leafly (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), and the Warrant Agreement, dated November 4, 2019, by and between Merida and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Warrant Agreement”), which are incorporated by reference as exhibits to the Annual Report on Form 10-K, and to the applicable provisions of Delaware law.

Authorized and Outstanding Stock

Leafly’s authorized capital stock consists of:

Reverse Stock Split

On July 12, 2023,during the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Leafly’s stockholders approved a proposal for a reverse stock split (the “2023 Reverse Stock Split”) as part of the Company’s plan to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement under Nasdaq listing rules. Effective September 12, 2023, the Company effected a one-for-twenty (1-for-20) reverse stock split of its common stock. As a result of the 2023 Reverse Stock Split, Leafly issued approximately 34,192 shares under the provisions of the Reverse Stock Split and no fractional shares were issued in connection with the 2023 Reverse Stock Split. All shares and share prices herein have been updated accordingly to reflect the impact of the 2023 Reverse Stock Split.

Voting Rights

Except as otherwise required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of Leafly common stock exclusively possess all stockholder voting power with respect to Leafly. Holders of Leafly common stock are entitled to one vote per share on each matter

properly submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of Leafly common stock will at all times vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, unless otherwise required by Delaware law or the Certificate of Incorporation.

Dividend Rights

Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the Leafly Preferred Stock, the holders of Leafly common stock are entitled to receive dividends and other distributions (payable in cash, property or capital stock of Leafly) when, as and if declared by the Leafly Board of Directors out of any assets or funds legally available and will share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions

No Preemptive or Similar Rights

Leafly common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights, and is not subject to conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions.

Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up

Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding shares of Leafly Preferred Stock, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of Leafly, the holders of Leafly common stock will be entitled to receive all the remaining assets of Leafly available for distribution to its stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of the Leafly common stock held by them.

Leafly Preferred Stock

Blank Check Preferred

The Leafly Board of Directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by the law of the State of Delaware, to issue Leafly Preferred Stock from time to time in one or more series. The Leafly Board of Directors is authorized to establish the number of shares to be included in each such series and to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional, special and other rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. The Leafly Board of Directors is able, without stockholder approval, to issue Leafly Preferred Stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the Leafly common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of the Leafly Board of Directors to issue Leafly Preferred Stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of Leafly or the removal of existing management.

Class A Preferred Stock

On April 1, 2025, in connection with the Subscription Agreement, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Series A Certificate of Designation designates one share of the Company’s preferred stock as Series A Preferred, and establishes and designates the preferences, rights and limitations thereof. The Series A Certificate of Designation became effective upon filing.

Convertibility. The share of Series A Preferred is not convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or series of stock or other securities of the Company.

Dividends. The share of Series A Preferred shall not be entitled to receive dividends.

Voting. The share of Series A Preferred will have 100,000,000 votes, but has the right to vote only on any Reverse Stock Split proposal and until such time as a Reverse Stock Split proposal is approved by the stockholders, and will have no voting rights except (i) with respect to a Reverse Stock Split proposal in which its votes are cast for and against such Reverse Stock Split proposal in the same proportion as shares of common stock are voted for and against such Reverse Stock Split proposal (with any shares of common stock that are not voted, whether due to abstentions, broker non-votes or otherwise not counted as votes for or against the Reverse Stock Split proposal) and (ii) unless the holders of shares of outstanding capital stock representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting of stockholders at which a Reverse Stock Split proposal is submitted for stockholder approval (or any adjournment thereof). The share of Series A Preferred will vote together with the Common Stock as a single class on any Reverse Stock Split proposal. The Series A Preferred has no other voting rights, except as may be required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Rank; Liquidation. Upon a liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, merger, acquisition, sale, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, pursuant to which assets of the Company or consideration received by the Company

are to be distributed to the stockholders, the holder of Series A Preferred will be entitled to receive, before any payment is made to the holders of common stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount equal to $100.00.

Transfer Restrictions. The Series A Preferred may not be transferred at any time prior to stockholder approval of a Reverse Stock Split proposal without the prior written consent of the Board.

Redemption. The outstanding share of Series A Preferred will be redeemed in whole, but not in part, for a redemption price of $100.00, payable out of funds lawfully available therefor, upon the earlier of (i) any time such redemption is ordered by the Board in its sole discretion, automatically and effective on such time and date specified by the Board in its sole discretion, or (ii) automatically immediately following the approval by the stockholders of the Company of a Reverse Stock Split proposal.

Warrants

Each whole Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase 0.05 shares of Leafly common stock at a price of $230.00 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below. The Warrants will expire on at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the date that is five years after the Closing Date, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition to the Warrants, Merida sold private warrants to Merida Holdings, LLC and EarlyBirdCapital in connection with Merida’s initial public offering. The private warrants are identical to the Warrants except that the private warrants are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and will not be redeemable by Leafly, in each case so long as they are still held by Merida Holdings, LLC, EarlyBirdCapital, or their permitted transferees. Leafly may call the Warrants for redemption (excluding the private warrants), in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.20 per Warrant in the following circumstances:

The redemption criteria for the Warrants have been established at a price which is intended to provide Warrant holders a reasonable premium to the initial exercise price and provide a sufficient differential between the then-prevailing share price and the Warrant exercise price so that if the share price declines as a result of our redemption call, the redemption will not cause the share price to drop below the exercise price of the Warrants. However, the price of the shares of Leafly common stock may fall below the $360.00 trigger price as well as the $230.00 Warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

If Leafly calls the Warrants for redemption as described above, Leafly’s management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the Warrants for that number of shares of Leafly common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the product of the number of shares of Leafly common stock underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the Warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (b) the fair market value. The “fair market value” for this purpose will mean the average reported last sale price of the shares of Leafly common stock for the five trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Warrants.

The Warrants are issued in registered form under a Warrant Agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Warrant Agent, and Leafly. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the Warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, or to add or change any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Warrant Agreement as Leafly and the Warrant Agent may deem necessary or desirable and that they, relying on the advice of counsel, deem shall not adversely affect the interest of the registered holders. The Warrant Agreement requires the approval, by written consent or vote, of the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Warrants (including the private warrants) in order to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Leafly may lower the exercise price of the Warrants or extend the duration of the exercise period without the consent of the registered holders.

The exercise price and number of shares of Leafly common stock issuable on exercise of the Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of Leafly common stock at a price below their respective exercise prices.

The Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the Warrant Certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the Warrant Agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the Warrant Certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of Warrants being exercised. The Warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of shares of Leafly common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their Warrants and receive shares of Leafly Common Stock. After the issuance of shares of Leafly common stock upon exercise of the Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

No Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless we have an effective and current registration statement covering the shares of Leafly common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to such shares of Leafly common stock. Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, we have agreed to use our best efforts to meet these conditions and to file and maintain a current and effective prospectus relating to the Leafly common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants until the expiration of the Warrants. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so. If a registration statement covering the shares of Leafly common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is not effective within 90 days of the Closing Date, Warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise Warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis.

Warrant holders may elect to be subject to a restriction on the exercise of their Warrants such that an electing Warrant holder would not be able to exercise their Warrants to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, such holder would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% of the shares of Leafly common stock outstanding.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round up to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Leafly common stock to be issued to the Warrant holder.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Some provisions of Delaware law, the Certificate of Incorporation, and the Bylaws contain provisions that could make the following transactions more difficult: an acquisition of Leafly by means of a tender offer; an acquisition of Leafly by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or the removal of incumbent officers and directors. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in Leafly’s best interests, including transactions that provide for payment of a premium over the market price for Leafly’s shares.

These provisions, summarized below, are intended to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of Leafly to first negotiate with the Leafly Board of Directors. We believe that the benefits of the increased protection of Leafly’s potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure Leafly outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Delaware Law

Leafly is subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL regulating corporate takeovers. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date on which the person became an interested stockholder unless:

Generally, a business combination includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction or series of transactions together resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or, within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, did own 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock. We expect the existence of this provision to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions the Leafly Board of Directors does not approve in advance. We also anticipate that Section 203 may discourage attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of Leafly common stock held by stockholders.

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provisions

The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws include a number of provisions that could deter hostile takeovers or delay or prevent changes in control of Leafly’s management team, including the following:

While the Delaware courts have determined that such choice of forum provisions are facially valid, a stockholder may nevertheless seek to bring a claim in a venue other than those designated in the exclusive forum provisions. In such instance, we would expect to vigorously assert the validity and enforceability of the exclusive forum provisions of the Bylaws. This may require significant additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions and there can be no assurance that the provisions will be enforced by a court in those other jurisdictions.

Other Agreements with Respect to the Company’s Securities

Series A Preferred Stock

On April 1, 2025, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Yoko Miyashita, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell one share of the Company’s newly designated Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred”), to Ms. Miyashita for a purchase price of $100.00.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, Ms. Miyashita has agreed to cast the votes represented by the share of Series A Preferred on any Reverse Stock Split proposal in the same proportion as shares of common stock of the Company are voted (excluding any shares of common stock that are not voted, whether due to abstentions, broker non-votes or otherwise) on such Reverse Stock Split proposal; provided, that unless and until at least 33 1∕3 % of the outstanding shares of common stock on the record date established for the meeting of stockholders at which the Reverse Stock Split proposal is presented are present in person or represented by proxy at such meeting, Ms. Miyashita will not vote the share of Series A Preferred on such Reverse Stock Split proposal.

Registration Rights

At the closing of the Business Combination, the Company entered into the Registration Rights Agreement, attached as an exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 10-K, with the registration rights holders. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, (a) any (i) outstanding share of Leafly common stock or any private warrants, and (ii) shares of Leafly common stock issued as Earnout Shares (as defined below) to shareholders of Legacy Leafly that received shares of Leafly common stock in the Business Combination or issuable as Earnout Shares pursuant to the Earnout Plan (as defined below) and (b) any other equity security of Leafly issued or

issuable with respect to any such share of Leafly common stock by way of a stock dividend or stock split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization or otherwise, are entitled to registration rights. The Registration Rights Agreement provides that Leafly will, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within 30 days after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, subject to extensions as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, file with the SEC a shelf registration statement registering the resale of the registration rights holders shares and will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but in no event later than 60 days following the filing deadline, subject to extensions as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. Merida Holdings, LLC, EarlyBirdCapital, and their transferees may demand not more than three demand registrations or shelf underwritten offerings in the aggregate and not more than two demand registrations in any twelve-month period, and the shareholders of Legacy Leafly that received shares of Leafly common stock in the Business Combination may demand not more than six demand registrations or shelf underwritten offerings in the aggregate and not more than two demand registrations in any twelve-month period, and Leafly will not be obligated to participate in more than four demand registrations or shelf underwritten offerings, in any twelve-month period. Leafly will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any registration statements filed pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

2022 Notes

Merida entered into a $30,000,000 convertible note purchase agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) in January 2022, which Legacy Leafly subsequently guaranteed and joined as a party to the agreement on February 4, 2022 in connection with the Business Combination (the “2022 Notes”). Accordingly, post-Business Combination, the 2022 Notes are presented as a liability on Leafly’s balance sheet, net of debt issuance costs and debt discount. The 2022 Notes bear interest at 8% annually (with an effective interest rate of 9.91% for the year ended December 31, 2024), paid in cash semi-annually in arrears on July 31 and January 31 of each year, and were scheduled to mature on January 31, 2025.

The 2022 Notes were unsecured convertible senior notes due 2025. They are convertible at the option of the holders at any time before maturity at an initial conversion share price of $250.00 per $1,000 principal amount of 2022 Notes and per $1,000 of accrued but unpaid interest on any converted 2022 Notes. In addition, the Company may, at its election, force the conversion of the 2022 Notes on or after January 31, 2024, if the volume-weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $360.00 for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days. The Company also has the option, on or after January 31, 2023 and prior to the 40th trading day immediately before the maturity date and subject to the holders’ ability to optionally convert, to redeem all or a portion of the 2022 Notes at a cash redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2022 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The holders of the 2022 Notes have the right to cause the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of the 2022 Notes held by such holder upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change” (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) or in connection with certain asset sales, in each case at a price equal to 100% of par plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

2023 and 2024 Partial Conversions

On December 19, 2023, the Company and each of the 2022 Note holders executed a notice of conversion and consent (the “Conversion Notice”) to effect a temporary and limited adjustment to the conversion price under the Note. Pursuant to the Conversion Notice, the conversion price under the Note was equal to the dollar amount that was 5% less than the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day prior to the date of the Conversion Notice, or $4.978 (the “Conversion Price Adjustment”). The Conversion Price Adjustment was available for a period of five business days from the date of the Conversion Notice or until conversion requests for up to $300,000 were received, whichever was earlier. On December 19, 2023, one holder tendered a conversion request for $300,000 at the Conversion Price Adjustment, resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of 60,265 shares of common stock and a corresponding reduction in the outstanding amount of the 2022 Notes of $300,000. Following such tender and in accordance with the terms of the Conversion Notice, the Conversion Price Adjustment was terminated.

On May 7, 2024, the Company and each of the 2022 Note holders executed a notice of conversion and consent (the “Second Conversion Notice”) to effect a temporary and limited adjustment to the conversion price under the 2022 Notes. Pursuant to the Second Conversion Notice, the conversion price under the 2022 Notes was equal to the dollar amount that was 5% less than the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day prior to the date of the Second Conversion Notice, or $2.8405 (the “Second Conversion Price Adjustment”). The Second Conversion Price Adjustment was available for a period of five business days from the date of the Second Conversion Notice or until conversion requests for up to $275,000 were received, whichever was earlier. On May 7, 2024, one holder tendered a conversion request for $275,000 at the Second Conversion Price Adjustment, resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of 96,813 shares of common stock and a corresponding reduction in the outstanding amount of the 2022 Notes of $275,000. Following such tender and in accordance with the terms of the Conversion Notice, the Conversion Price Adjustment was terminated. The Company shall pay applicable accrued interest payable and owing on the converted amount through the effective date of the conversion in accordance with the terms of the 2022 Notes in cash on the next interest payment date.

Debt Modification

On January 15, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Debt Amendment”) to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, relating to the 2022 Notes. Concurrently with the Debt Amendment, the Company entered into an amended and restated note (the “Amended and Restated Note”) for the 2022 Notes. The Debt Amendment and the Amended and Restated Note, among other things, (i) extended the maturity date of the 2022 Notes from January 31, 2025 to July 1, 2025 and (ii) added certain financial maintenance covenants. In addition, the Company agreed to pay down 12.5% of the outstanding principal of the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes since the last interest payment date on July 31, 2024. Accordingly, the prepayment of $3,678,000 and interest payment of $1,118,000 occurred on January 21, 2025. In connection with the Debt Amendment, the Company also granted the holders of the 2022 Notes a security interest in the Company’s assets as collateral to secure the Company’s obligations underlying the 2022 Notes, subject to certain exceptions and limitations.

The aforementioned new financial maintenance covenants required by the Debt Amendment include primarily:

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD MATTERS

In accordance with the bylaws of the Company, the Board is divided into three classes, each comprising as nearly as possible one-third of the directors and serving three-year terms with only one class of directors being elected in each year. Ms. Miyashita is assigned to Class I, Mr. Lee was assigned to Class II, and Mr. Monat and Mr. Nannetti were assigned to Class III.

Corporate Governance

We structured our corporate governance in a manner we believe will closely align our interests with those of our stockholders. Notable features of this corporate governance include:

The Board adopted corporate governance guidelines (the “Corporate Governance Guidelines”), which serve as a flexible framework within which our Board and its committees operate.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

In accordance with the Company’s bylaws, our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Board may, in its discretion, elect a Chairperson of the Board from among the members of the Board. The Board has no policy mandating the separation of the offices of the Chairperson of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer and believes that it should maintain flexibility in determining a board leadership structure appropriate for us from time to time.

Our Board believes that we and our stockholders currently are best served by Jeffrey Monat serving as Chairman of our Board, considering his experience, expertise, knowledge of our business and operations, and strategic vision. As Chairman, Mr. Monat presides over meetings of the Board and holds such other powers and carries out such other duties as are customarily carried out by the chairperson of a board of directors.

Our Board believes that its independence and oversight of management is maintained effectively through this leadership structure, the composition of our Board, independent Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees with significant authority and oversight, and sound corporate governance policies and practices.

Our Board oversees the risk management activities designed and implemented by our management. Our Board executes its oversight responsibility both directly and through its committees. Our Board is responsible for monitoring and assessing the Company’s strategic risk exposure. Our Audit Committee has the responsibility of providing oversight over cybersecurity risks, disaster recovery and privacy

compliance as well as to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps management takes to monitor and control such exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The Audit Committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Our Compensation Committee also assesses and monitors whether our compensation plans, policies and programs comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Meetings and Committees of the Board

Our Board directs the management of our business and affairs, as provided by Delaware law, and conducts its business through meetings of the Board, written consents in lieu of meetings, and its standing committees. The standing committees of our Board consist of an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Our Board may from time to time establish other committees.

We expect our directors to attend all board meetings and any meetings of committees of which they are members and to spend the time needed and meet as frequently as necessary to properly discharge their responsibilities. Although we do not have any formal policy regarding director attendance at stockholder meetings, we attempt to schedule meetings so that all directors can attend and encourage their attendance at stockholder meetings. All of our directors serving on the Board at the time of our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders attended such meeting. In 2024, our Board held 7 meetings, in addition to numerous informal meetings to discuss the ongoing strategic initiatives and compliance matters discussed in greater detail above under “Background of the Transaction.” All of our directors attended 100% of all board meetings and meetings of committees of which he or she was a member during 2023.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things:

The Board appointed Jeffrey Monat and Andres Nannetti to serve on the Audit Committee, each of whom meets the definition of “independent director” for purposes of serving on the Audit Committee under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and the Nasdaq rules.

Each member of our Audit Committee also meets the financial literacy requirements of Nasdaq listing standards and qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC.

In 2023, our Audit Committee met 5 times and each of the members of the Audit Committee attended 100% of the Audit Committee meetings.

Our Board adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, which is available on our corporate website at https://investor.leafly.com.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things:

The Board appointed Jeffrey Monat and Andres Nannetti to serve on the Compensation Committee, with Andres Nannetti serving as its Chair. Each member of the Compensation Committee meets the definition of “independent director” for purposes of serving on the Compensation Committee under the Nasdaq listing standards and is a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

In 2024, our Compensation Committee met 4 times and each member of the Compensation Committee attended 100% of the Compensation Committee meetings.

The Compensation Committee, by resolution approved by a majority of the Compensation Committee, may form and delegate any of its responsibilities to a subcommittee so long as such subcommittee is solely comprised of one or more members of the Compensation Committee and such delegation is not otherwise inconsistent with law and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC.

The Compensation Committee has the authority, in its sole discretion, to retain or obtain advice from, oversee and terminate any compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser to the committee and to be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of such adviser’s work. The Compensation Committee engaged Compensia, an independent compensation consultant, to assist it in evaluating executive compensation programs and levels. The Compensation Committee used the services of Compensia to assist it in evaluating executive and director compensation programs and levels during 2024. In addition, Compensia assisted the Compensation Committee with evaluating compensation for our executive officers, including long-term and short-term

annual incentive award design; conducting an assessment of the risks associated with the Company's overall compensation policies and practices; and understanding trends in executive and board compensation. Compensia does not provide any other services directly to the Company. The Compensation Committee has assessed Compensia’s independence, taking into consideration the factors listed in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(d)(3)(D), and has determined that Compensia’s work with the Company does not raise any conflicts of interest.

Our Board adopted a written charter for the Compensation Committee, which is available on our corporate website at https://investor.leafly.com.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No person who served on the Compensation Committee during the Company’s last completed fiscal year was at any time during fiscal year 2023, or at any other time, one of our officers or employees. None of our executive officers has served as a director or member of a compensation committee (or other committee serving an equivalent function) of any entity, one of whose executive officers served as a director of our Board or member of our Compensation Committee. Peter Lee served on the Compensation Committee until March 25, 2024 and served as Merida’s President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary until the closing on February 4, 2022 of the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated August 9, 2021, as amended on September 8, 2021 and January 11, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Merida, Merida Merger Sub, Inc. and Merida Merger Sub II, LLC. (the “Business Combination”) but did not receive compensation for such service, other than reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on Merida’s behalf.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Principal Components of Our Executive Compensation Program

This section discusses the material components of our executive compensation program for our NEOs. Leafly became a publicly-traded company in February 2022, and as such, we expect that our executive compensation program will evolve over time, while still supporting Leafly’s overall business and compensation objectives.

Base Salary

Base salaries are intended to provide a level of compensation sufficient to attract and retain an effective management team, when considered in combination with the other components of the executive compensation program and compared against compensation in the market for similar positions. In general, we seek to provide a base salary level designed to reflect each executive officer’s scope of responsibility and accountability. Please see the “Salary” column in the Summary Compensation Table below for the base salary amounts paid to each of our NEOs for their services during the years presented.

Annual Bonus Plan

In 2024, our Compensation Committee approved a 2024 Annual Incentive Plan (“2024 AIP”) that provided for incentive awards to be paid to eligible employees, including our NEOs, in cash, shares of our common stock, or in a combination thereof. The Compensation Committee retained full discretion to determine whether to make awards under the 2024 AIP after considering a range of factors for fiscal year 2024, including year-end cash balance, revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and market and macro conditions. To be eligible to receive any bonus, each NEO must be employed with the Company at the time such payment is made.

In 2024, after assessing the Company’s 2024 financial performance, including the factors discussed above, no awards to NEOs were approved by the Compensation Committee under the 2024 AIP.

Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation

Our NEOs are eligible to receive equity-based awards at the discretion of our Compensation Committee under our 2021 Plan. Prior to the Business Combination, our NEOs received grants of stock options under our 2018 Plan. Equity awards are intended to further align the interests of our NEOs with the interests of our stockholders and emphasize long-term performance by linking compensation to achievement of performance goals and share price appreciation over a multi-year period and to also support the retention of our management team. Our equity award program for NEOs is determined annually by the Compensation Committee. To date, our NEOs have received grants of service- and performance-based RSUs under our 2021 Plan and service- and performance-based stock options under our 2018 Plan, as described below.

Performance-Based Stock Unit (“PSUs”) Awards

2022 PSU Awards

In 2022, the Compensation Committee granted multi-year PSU awards to our NEOs under our 2021 Plan (the “2022 PSU Awards”). Each 2022 PSU Award consists of three tranches, with the number of PSUs in each tranche generally equal to one-third of the total number of PSUs granted under each such award. Each tranche represents the number of PSUs that are eligible to vest in a respective annual performance period (each a “Performance Period”), based on achievement of performance goals set by our Compensation Committee for each such Performance Period. If all or a portion of the PSUs do not vest for a particular Performance Period, such unvested PSUs will remain outstanding and will be eligible for vesting if we achieve a $1 billion market capitalization for any 20 days during a 30-day period on or before February 4, 2026 (the “PSU Market Cap Milestone”). If the PSU Market Cap Milestone is achieved on or before February 4, 2026, all then outstanding unvested PSUs will become fully vested as of the date the Compensation Committee makes a determination confirming that the PSU Market Cap Milestone has been achieved.

2022 Performance Period

The first tranche of the 2022 PSU Awards was eligible to vest based on achievement of the below “2022 Top Line Revenue” and “Adjusted EBITDA” targets and corresponding payout percentages (the “2022 Performance Goals”) that were set and approved by our Compensation Committee for the “2022 Performance Period,” which ran from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022, with such PSUs allocated 50% to each 2022 Performance Goal. At the time we granted the 2022 PSU Awards, we determined that the grant date fair value of the portion of the award subject to the 2022 Top Line Revenue target was $0, based on a conclusion at the date of grant that such target would not be achievable.

In March 2023, after assessing the Company’s achievement of the 2022 Performance Goals, the Compensation Committee made a final determination confirming that (i) the 2022 Top Line Revenue was $47.4 million, resulting in 0% achievement of the Top Line Revenue Performance Goal; and (ii) the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA loss was $23.2 million, resulting in 100% achievement of the Adjusted EBITDA Performance Goal. As a result of such determination, on March 13, 2023, 50% of the PSUs underlying the first tranche of each of Ms. Miyashita’s and Mr. Krishnaswamy’s 2022 PSU Awards vested, and the remaining 50% of the PSUs underlying the first tranche of their respective 2022 PSU Awards that did not vest because the Top Line Revenue Performance Goal was not met will remain outstanding and eligible to vest if the Company achieves the PSU Market Cap Milestone.

2023 Performance Period

The second tranche of our NEOs’ 2022 PSU Awards was eligible to vest based on achievement of the below “Cash Balance” targets and corresponding payout percentages (the “2023 Performance Goals”) that were set and approved by our Compensation Committee for the “2023 Performance Period,” which ran from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023.

In January 2024, after assessing the Company’s achievement of the 2023 Performance Goals, the Compensation Committee made a final determination confirming that the Company’s Cash Balance as of December 31, 2023 was in excess of $15 million, resulting in 100% achievement of the 2023 Performance Goals. As a result of such determination, on January 30, 2024, 100% of the PSUs underlying the second tranche of each of Ms. Miyashita’s and Mr. Krishnaswamy’s 2022 PSU Awards vested.

2024 Performance Period

The third tranche of our NEOs’ 2022 PSU Awards were eligible to vest based on achievement of the following cash balance targets established by the Compensation Committee in February 2024 for the “2024 Performance Period,” which runs from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024:

In February 2025, the Compensation Committee made a final determination confirming that the Company’s Cash Balance as of December 31, 2024 was in excess of $11.2 million, resulting in 100% achievement of the 2024 Performance Goals. As a result of such determination, on February 27, 2025, 100% of the PSUs underlying the third tranche of each of Ms. Miyashita’s and Mr. Krishnaswamy’s 2022 PSU Awards vested.

2023 PSU Awards

In 2023, our Compensation Committee granted one-year PSU awards to our NEOs under our 2021 Plan (the “2023 PSU Awards”), which were eligible to vest based on achievement of the same Cash Balance performance goals that were set by our Compensation Committee for the second tranche of the 2022 PSU Awards, for a performance period running from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023, as described above under —2023 Performance Period. In January 2024, after assessing the Company’s achievement of the 2023 Performance Goals, the Compensation Committee made a final determination confirming that the Company’s Cash Balance as of December 31, 2023 was in excess of $15 million, resulting in 100% achievement of the 2023 Performance Goals. As a result of such determination, on January 30, 2024, 100% of the PSUs underlying each of Ms. Miyashita’s and Mr. Krishnaswamy’s 2023 PSU Award vested.

Time-Based RSU Awards

In 2024, we also granted time-based RSU awards under our 2021 Plan to each of our NEOs. As previously disclosed, in March 2024, our Compensation Committee approved annual equity incentive grants to our NEOs in February 2024, which are eligible to vest in 1/4th increments on the 20th day of every third month for one year beginning on April 20, 2024 until the awards fully vested, in each case subject to the NEO’s continuous employment on each scheduled vesting date. See, — Outstanding Awards at Fiscal Year End, below.

Performance-Based Option Awards

In 2021, Legacy Leafly granted Ms. Miyashita and Mr. Krishnaswamy performance-based option awards, as provided under the CEO Agreement and the CFO Letter, respectively (the “Performance Options”), with such grants consisting of a “Liquidity Event Option” and a “Milestone Option.” As previously disclosed, the number of shares underlying each NEO’s Performance Options was adjusted following the closing of the Business Combination and are presented in the “— Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” table, as adjusted. Each Performance Option is eligible to vest as follows:

Time-Based Option Awards

Prior to 2022, Legacy Leafly granted time-based stock option awards to each of our NEOs, which generally are eligible to vest 25% on the first anniversary of the applicable vesting commencement date and in 1/48th increments for each subsequent month of the NEO’s continuous employment, until the awards fully vest after four years. Under the terms of the stock option agreements, executive officers have the option of exercising stock options prior to vesting and receive restricted stock upon exercise, which is subject to the same vesting conditions applicable to the underlying stock options.

Retirement Benefits

We offer a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement savings plan (the “401(k) Plan”), pursuant to which our eligible employees, including our NEOs, are able to voluntarily contribute a percentage of their annual compensation on a pre- and post-tax basis, up to the limits prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service. Each pay period, we offer a discretionary 401(k) Company matching contribution for eligible employees who participate in the 401(k) Plan, including our NEOs, of up to 100% of salary deferrals that do not exceed 1% of eligible compensation plus 50% of salary deferrals between 1% and 6% of eligible compensation. Generally, “eligible compensation” used for purposes of calculating contributions under the 401(k) Plan is the amount paid to the employee as base salary, overtime earnings, bonuses and commissions. Each of our NEOs was eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan in 2023. We do not sponsor any nonqualified deferred compensation plans or pension plans.
