Positives

• If the trading price for TMTG's shares of Common Stock continues to be over $11.50 per share, the company believes holders of Warrants will likely exercise these Warrants.
• The company expects to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants to execute its business plan, including for working capital, possible acquisitions and other general corporate purposes.

Negatives

• The sale of the Resale Securities being offered pursuant to this prospectus, or the perception that these sales could occur, could result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our Common Stock.

• The Resale Securities represent approximately 393% of our public float and approximately 82.6% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock as of June 10, 2024 (after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants).

Risks

• Investing in TMTG's securities involves a high degree of risk.

• TMTG's success depends in part on the popularity of its brand and the reputation and popularity of President Donald J. Trump.
• President Donald J. Trump is the subject of numerous legal proceedings, and an adverse outcome could negatively impact TMTG.
• Nasdaq may delist TMTG's securities, which could subject TMTG to trading restrictions.

Future Outlook

TMTG believes the likelihood that warrant holders will exercise their Warrants and therefore the amount of cash proceeds that we would receive, is dependent upon the trading price of our shares of Common Stock.
