Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

In March 2023, we expanded our existing relationship with a leading national value-conscious consumer retail chain, through which we will be deploying an additional 1,500 Redbox kiosks at such retailer's store locations throughout the United States during the next two years, with approximately 1,000 kiosks slated to be installed in 2023. As a result of this expanded relationship, we estimate that more than 5,000 Redbox kiosks will be deployed at such retailer's store locations nationwide by the end of 2024.

We believe that the expansion of our Redbox kiosk availability, combined with the projected expansion of major film releases by third-party studios during 2023, including popular franchises such as Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3, Fast X, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and our negotiated rights with studios for early access to these and other films, will drive improved revenue results for our Redbox kiosk business.
