INTRODUCTION

This Amendment No. 1 to the Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (as amended hereby, this “Schedule 13E-3”) is being filed by Leafly Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

At the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s stockholders of record will vote on amendments to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock by a ratio range 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 “Reverse Stock Split”). The ratio determined by the Company’s Board of Directors will be referred to herein as the “Reverse Stock Split Ratio” and the denominator of the Reverse Stock Split Ratio (i.e. the number between 200 and 500) will be referred to herein as the “Ratio Number”. The Reverse Stock Split is structured to reduce the number of record holders of its common stock to fewer than 300, thereby enabling it to terminate the registration of (or “deregister”) its common shares under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and suspend its duty to file periodic reports and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. This will eliminate the significant expense required to comply with the reporting and related requirements of being a public reporting company and is often referred to as a “going private” transaction. To accomplish its “going private” transaction, it will effectuate the Reverse Stock Split, whereby common shares outstanding in the amount of the Ratio Number on the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split will be converted into one whole common share and, in lieu of issuing any fractional shares to shareholders owning fewer than the Ratio Number of pre-reverse stock split shares, make a cash payment equal to $0.28 per pre-reverse stock split share to such shareholders (the “Transaction”). Any stockholder that holds less than the Ratio Number of shares of common stock at the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split will no longer be stockholders of the Company.

This Schedule 13E-3 is being filed with the SEC concurrently with the filing of Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
