Explanatory Note

Form 10-K(A)

This Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A (the “Amendment”) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Leafly Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2022, as previously amended on May 2, 2022 (the “Original Filing”). This Amendment is being filed solely to correct the inadvertent omission of certain language in paragraph 4 of the certifications of the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer filed as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 in Part IV, Item 15, “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules,” in the Original Filing. In accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulation S-K Interpretation 246.13, the Company is also refiling the disclosure in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” and Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures,” of the Original Filing, and including an amended and restated Part IV, Item 15 “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules,” to include the corrected certifications noted above, as well as a currently dated certification under Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

This Amendment speaks as of the original filing date of the Original Filing (unless otherwise noted or as the context otherwise requires) and reflects only the changes to the cover page and the Exhibit Index. Except as expressly noted in this Amendment, this Form Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the Original Filing or modify or update in any way any of the other disclosures contained in the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and the Company’s other filings with the SEC. Capitalized terms used herein, when not defined, shall have the meaning ascribed in the Original Filing.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “Leafly,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” in this report refer to Leafly Holdings, Inc. prior to the closing of the Business Combination and to the post-combination company and its consolidated subsidiaries following the Business Combination, and “Merida” refers to the business of Merida Merger Corp. I and related entities prior to the Business Combination.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of

Leafly Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Merida Merger Corp. I)

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Leafly Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Merida Merger Corp. I) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

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

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

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

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2019.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2021

NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Merida Merger Corp. I (now known as Leafly Holdings, Inc.) (referred to within this section, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, as the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on June 20, 2019. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”).

Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company has focused its search on companies in the cannabis industry. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

Business Combination

On February 4, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the previously-announced Mergers (as defined below) and related transactions (collectively, the “Business Combination”) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 9, 2021 and amended on September 8, 2021 and on January 11, 2022 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company (prior to the Closing Date, “Merida”), Merida Merger Sub, Inc., a Washington corporation (“First Merger Sub”), Merida Merger Sub II, LLC, a Washington limited liability company (“Second Merger Sub”), and the pre-Business Combination Leafly Holdings, Inc., a Washington corporation (“Legacy Leafly”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination was effected through the merger of First Merger Sub with and into Legacy Leafly (the “First Merger”), with Legacy Leafly surviving as the surviving company of the First Merger. Immediately following the First Merger, Legacy Leafly merged with and into Second Merger Sub (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Second Merger Sub surviving the Second Merger as a limited liability company named Leafly, LLC.

On February 4, 2022, (a) each outstanding share of Legacy Leafly Common Stock, including Legacy Leafly Common Stock held by prior owners of Legacy Leafly Preferred Stock (other than shares owned by Legacy Leafly as treasury stock, dissenting shares and restricted shares) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive a pro rata portion of approximately 35,434,475 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and (b) each option to purchase Legacy Leafly Common Stock that was outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the First Merger was automatically converted to an option to acquire 3,726,209 shares of Common Stock at an adjusted exercise price per share, in each case, using an Exchange ratio of 0.3283 calculated pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Additionally, as a result of the Mergers, the Legacy Leafly shareholders described above and other individuals to whom restricted stock units may be granted pursuant to the Earn Out Plan (such shareholders and individuals, “Participants,” and such plan the “Earn Out Plan”) have been granted the contingent right to receive on a pro rata basis a portion of up to 6,000,000 restricted shares of Common Stock (“Earnout Shares”) that will vest if the Company achieves certain earnout thresholds prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date.

In addition, pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement by and among the Company and certain investors dated as of January 11, 2022 (the “2022 Note Purchase Agreement”), the Company issued, and certain investors purchased, $30 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured 8.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “New Notes”) concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing,” and such transaction, the “2022 Convertible Notes Investment”).

In connection with the Closing, the registrant changed its name from “Merida Merger Corp. I” to “Leafly Holdings, Inc.”

In connection with the Closing, 4,942,048 shares of Merida Common Stock were redeemed at a per share price of approximately $10.01.

LEAFLY HOLDINGS, INC.

(F/K/A MERIDA MERGER CORP. I)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2021

Prior to the Business Combination, the Company had two wholly owned subsidiaries which were formed on August 6, 2021, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub.

All activity through December 31, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation, the IPO (“IPO”), which is described below, identification of a target company for a Business Combination and consummation of the acquisition of Legacy Leafly.

The registration statements for the Company’s IPO were declared effective on November 4, 2019. On November 7, 2019, the Company consummated the IPO of 12,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceeds of $120,000,000, which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 3,750,000 warrants (the “Private Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant in a private placement to Merida Holdings, LLC and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EarlyBirdCapital”), generating gross proceeds of $3,750,000, which is described in Note 4.

Following the closing of the IPO on November 7, 2019, an amount of $120,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account to the Company’s stockholders.

On November 12, 2019, the underwriters notified the Company of their intention to partially exercise their over-allotment option on November 13, 2019. As such, on November 13, 2019 the Company consummated the sale of an additional 1,001,552 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, and the sale of an additional 200,311 Private Warrants (see Note 3), at $1.00 per Private Warrant, generating total gross proceeds of $10,215,831. A total of $10,015,520 of the net proceeds was deposited into the Trust Account, bringing the aggregate proceeds held in the Trust Account to $130,015,520.

Transaction costs amounted to $3,412,939 consisting of $2,600,311 of underwriting fees and $812,628 of other offering costs.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position and/or results of its operations, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Liquidity and Going Concern Consideration

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $175,886 in its operating bank accounts, $90,849,312 in securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its ordinary shares in connection therewith and a working capital deficit of $2,042,132 (excluding $18,770 of Delaware Franchise Taxes owed, which are paid from the Trust).

Until the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company used the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating target businesses, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar location of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses and structuring, negotiating and completing a Business Combination. The Company completed its Business Combination on February 4, 2022, with Legacy Leafly, and has raised sufficient capital for its operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2021

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. The more significant accounting estimates included in these consolidated financial statements are the determination of the fair values of the warrant and forward purchase agreement liabilities. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and, accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Table of Contents

LEAFLY HOLDINGS, INC.

(F/K/A MERIDA MERGER CORP. I)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2021

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Cash and Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At December 31, 2021, the assets held in the Trust Account were substantially held in cash. At December 31, 2020, the assets held in the Trust Account were substantially held in U.S. Treasury Bills. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company withdrew $538,128 and $419,894, respectively, of the interest earned on the Trust Account to pay for its franchise and income taxes and for working capital needs.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity and measured at redemption value. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are charged against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.

At December 31, 2021, the Common Stock subject to possible redemption reflected in the consolidated balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:


Gross proceeds	$	130,015,520
Less: common stock issuance costs	(3,392,993)

Warrant Liability

The Company accounts for the Private Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40, “Equity Classification,” under which the Private Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Private Warrants as liabilities at their fair value. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized within other

expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Private Warrants are valued using a binomial lattice model. Public Warrants are treated as equity and therefore require no fair value adjustment.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of common stock is excluded from net loss per common share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The calculation of diluted loss per common share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 10,451,087 shares of common stock in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have any other dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for the periods presented. The net loss is allocated pro rata to redeemable and non-redeemable shares.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per common share (in dollars, except per share amounts):


	Year Ended December 31,
	2021		2020
Allocation of net loss, common stock subject to possible redemption	$	(4,506,066)	$	(1,488,275)
Weighted average shares outstanding, common stock subject to possible redemption	12,695,279		13,001,552

Concentration of Credit Risk

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2021

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for the Private Warrants (see Note 8) and forward purchase share agreements (see Note 6), which are carried at fair value.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06 — “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”)”, to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the IPO, the Company sold 13,001,552 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, inclusive of 1,001,552 Units sold to the underwriters on November 13, 2019 upon the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock and one-half of one warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).

NOTE 4 — PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, Merida Holdings, LLC and EarlyBirdCapital purchased an aggregate of 3,750,000 Private Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $3,750,000, in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the IPO. On November 13, 2019, in connection with the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option, the Company sold an additional aggregate of 200,311 Private Warrants to Merida Holdings, LLC and EarlyBirdCapital, at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $200,311. Each whole Private Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The proceeds from the Private Warrants were added to the proceeds from the IPO held in the Trust Account.

NOTE 5 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

In August 2019, the Sponsor purchased 2,875,000 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate price of $25,000. On November 4, 2019, the Company effected a stock dividend of 0.2 shares for each share outstanding, resulting in an aggregate of 3,450,000 Founder Shares being held by the Sponsor. All share and per-share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the stock dividend. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 199,612 shares that were subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor following the underwriter’s election to partially exercise its over-allotment option. The underwriters’ remaining over-allotment option expired unexercised and, as a result, 199,612 Founder Shares were forfeited and 250,388 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture, resulting in an aggregate of 3,250,388 Founder Share shares outstanding as of December 31, 2019.

The Sponsor has agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until, with respect to 50% of the Founder Shares, the earlier of one year after the consummation of a business combination and the date on which the closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing after a business combination and, with respect to the remaining 50% of the Founder Shares, until the one year after the consummation of a business combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to a business combination, the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. Effective upon completion of the Business Combination in February 2022, the Founder Shares restrictions were modified.

Administrative Support Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement on November 4, 2019, as amended on November 26, 2019, whereby, commencing on November 4, 2019 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, the Company will pay Merida Manager III LLC a total of $5,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. In October 2021, the Company ended the $5,000 administrative agreement and as a condition of closing for the Business Combination forfeited accrued administration fees as of September 30, 2021 in the amount of $55,000. As the result of ending the administrative fee for the Company, the outstanding balance for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $0 and $50,000, respectively.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest or be converted into warrants at the approval of the stockholders of the Company or target business. The outstanding balance of these loans was repaid at the closing of the Business Combination using funds from the Trust Account.

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were 3,370,388 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, excluding 9,074,117 and 13,001,552 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption, respectively.

Representative Shares

In August 2019, the Company issued to EarlyBirdCapital and its designees the 120,000 Representative Shares (as adjusted for the stock dividend described above). The Company accounted for the Representative Shares as an offering cost of the IPO, with a corresponding credit to stockholder’s equity. The Company estimated the fair value of Representative Shares to be $910 based upon the price of the Founder Shares issued to the Sponsor. The holders of the Representative Shares have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares until the completion of a Business Combination. In addition, the holders have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The Representative Shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement related to the IPO pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1) of FINRA’s NASD Conduct Rules. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1), these securities will not be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statements related to the IPO, nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statements related to the IPO except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the IPO and their bona fide officers or partners.

NOTE 8 — WARRANTS

Public Warrants

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were 6,500,776 Public Warrants outstanding. Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50. Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the IPO. No warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such shares of common stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the public warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company 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. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:

•in whole and not in part;

•at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

•upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption;

Table of Contents

DECEMBER 31, 2021

•if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing after the warrants become exercisable and ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and

•If, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the warrants.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.

Private Warrants

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were 3,950,311 Private Warrants outstanding. The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the IPO, except that the Private Warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Warrants will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of an initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors, and in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor, initial stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder’s Shares held by them prior to such issuance), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of an initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of an initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummated an initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater of (i) the Market Value or (ii) the price at which the Company issues the additional shares of common stock or equity-linked securities.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has $951,808 and $0, respectively, of U.S. federal net operating loss carryovers available and can be carried forward indefinitely.

In assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the information available, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the change in the valuation allowance was $199,880. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and New York which remain open and subject to examination.

A reconciliation of the federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate are as follows:

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and is subject to examination by the various taxing authorities. The Company's tax returns since inception remain open to examination by the taxing authorities. The Company considers New York to be a significant state tax jurisdiction.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:


Description	Level	December 31, 2021		December 31, 2020
Assets:
Cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account	1	$	90,849,312	$	130,681,047

Liabilities:
Warrant liability – Private Warrants	3	6,982,603		3,950,311
Forward share purchase agreements	3	2,174,989		—

Warrant Liability

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had 3,950,311 Private Warrants outstanding.

The Private Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liability on the balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented in the statements of operations.

The Private Warrants were valued using a binomial lattice model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The binomial lattice model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Private Warrants is the expected volatility of the common stock. The expected volatility as of the valuation dates was implied from the Company’s own Public Warrant pricing. At December 31, 2021, the Private Warrants were valued at $1.77 per warrant.

There were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Forward Share Purchase Agreements Liability

The liability for the Forward Share Purchase Agreements ("FPAs") were valued using a Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The fair value of the options are based on the current stock price and a weighted average of historical volatilities from other Special Purpose Acquisition Companies in the same sector as the Company. The following table presents a summary of the changes in the fair value of the FPA liability, a Level 3 liability, measured on a recurring basis.


	FPA
Fair value as of December 22, 2021	$	2,174,989
Change in fair value		0
Fair value as of December 31, 2021	$	2,174,989

Change in fair value of the FPAs was considered to be immaterial from December 22, 2021 (initial measurement) to December 31, 2021.

The following table presents the quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements of the Forward Purchase Agreements:


	December 31, 2021
Exercise price		$10.01 and $10.16

NOTE 11 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than as described below and elsewhere in these consolidated financial statements, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

On January 10, 2022 the Company entered into a Forward Share Purchase Agreement with Linden Advisors. Investors may elect to sell and transfer to the Company, and the Company shall purchase from the investors, the number of Shares that are then held by the investors, but not to exceed 800,000 shares at a price per share equal to $10.16.

On January 11, 2022, the Company entered into a $30 million convertible note purchase agreement with certain investors in accordance with the 2022 Note Purchase Agreement ("2022 Notes"). The 2022 Notes bear interest at 8% annually, paid in cash semi-annually in arrears on July 31 and January 31 of each year, and mature on January 31, 2025. The 2022 Notes are 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 $12.50. 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 $18.00 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) 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.

On February 4, 2022, the Company completed its Business Combination with Leafly Holdings, Inc.

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Merida's disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Merida's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective, due solely to the material weakness in Merida's internal control over financial reporting related to the Company’s accounting for complex financial instruments. As a result, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that the financial statements included in this Annual Report were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Annual Report present fairly in all material respects Merida's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.

Management has identified a material weakness in internal controls related to the accounting for complex financial instruments. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, prior to the closing of the Business Combination, Merida planned to continue to enhance its system of evaluating and implementing the accounting standards that apply to its financial statements, including through enhanced analyses by its personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

As required by SEC rules and regulations implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(1)pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company,

(2)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and

(3)provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our consolidated financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report, we completed the Business Combination on February 4, 2022. Prior to the Business Combination, Merida was a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more operating businesses. As a result, previously existing internal controls are no longer applicable or comprehensive enough as of the assessment date as Merida's operations prior to the Business Combination are insignificant compared to those of the consolidated entity post-Business Combination. The design of internal controls over financial reporting for the Company post-Business Combination has required and will continue to require significant time and resources from management and other personnel. As a result, management was unable, without incurring unreasonable effort or expense to conduct an assessment of Merida's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. Accordingly, we are

excluding management's report on internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 215.02 of the SEC Division of Corporation Finance's Regulation S-K Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to our status as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Leafly believes that the above identified material weakness in the internal control over financial reporting was remediated following the Business Combination as the disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting of privately held Leafly (as the deemed accounting acquirer) became the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting of the combined company, and the financial reporting and accounting personnel of privately held Leafly assumed such roles and responsibilities of the combined company.
