On September 20, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Company, consummated the business combination (the “Closing”) pursuant to that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of January 28, 2021 (as amended on March 19, 2021, on July 14, 2021, on August 11, 2021 and on August 18, 2021, the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among the Company, TPG Pace Tech Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TPG Pace Merger Sub”), Live Learning Technologies LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Nerdy LLC”), the Reporting Person and the other signatories party thereto.

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
Stockholders’ Agreement
Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company, TPG Pace Tech Opportunities Sponsor, Series LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”), the Reporting Person and the other stockholders party thereto entered into the Stockholders’ Agreement, which governs certain rights and obligations of the parties, and, among other things, sets forth certain requirements regarding the composition of the Nerdy Inc. Board.
Under the Stockholders’ Agreement, the Nerdy Inc. Board will be, subject to certain exceptions, comprised of seven members, divided into three classes, comprised of three directors designated by the Reporting Person; one director designated by Learn Capital; one director designated by TCV VIII (A); one director designated by Sponsor; and one director nominated in accordance with Nerdy Inc.’s constituent documents who meets certain diversity and independence standards. Cohn’s nomination rights will be reduced in relation to his ownership percentage. The nomination rights of each of Sponsor, Learn Capital and TCV VIII (A) will continue for so long as it and its affiliates hold at least 50% of the Common Stock such party holds at the Closing. In addition, the Stockholders’ Agreement sets forth certain transfer restrictions with respect to the Class A Common Stock, including a six-month lock-up provision.
Founder Equity Award Agreement
On September 20, 2021, Mr. Cohn was granted a performance restricted stock unit award covering a maximum of 9,258,298 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Founder and CEO Performance Award”). The Founder and CEO Performance Award vests upon the satisfaction of a service condition and achievement of certain stock price goals, as described below.
The Founder and CEO Performance Award is eligible to vest based on Nerdy Inc.’s stock price performance over a seven-year period after September 20, 2021. To vest in the award, Mr. Cohn must remain employed as Nerdy Inc.’s Chief Executive Officer or Executive Chairman through the date a stock price hurdle is achieved, subject to certain exceptions. The Founder and CEO Performance Award is divided into seven equal tranches that are eligible to vest based on the achievement of stock price goals that occur at $18.00, $22.00, $26.00, $30.00, $34.00, $38.00, and $42.00 per share, measured based on an average of our stock price over a consecutive 90 calendar-day period during the performance period, which will be adjusted as appropriate to reflect any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reorganizations, reclassifications or similar events. To the extent a stock price hurdle is achieved and shares of Class A Common Stock are delivered to Mr. Cohn, he will generally be limited in his ability to transfer the net after-tax shares, except for estate planning purposes, for two years following the vesting date.
Tax Receivable Agreement
On the Closing Date, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) with holders of OpCo Units (the “TRA Holders”). The Tax Receivable Agreement generally provides for the payment by the Company to the TRA Holders of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that the Company actually realizes in periods after the Business Combination as a result of: (i) certain increases in tax basis that occur as a result of (A) the Business Combination (including as a result of cash received in the Business Combination and debt repayment occurring in connection with the Business Combination) or (B) exercises of the redemption or call rights set forth in the OpCo LLC Agreement; and (ii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Company and additional basis arising from any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. The rights of the TRA Holders (including the right to receive payments) under the Tax Receivable Agreement are transferable by the TRA Holders as long as the transferee of such rights has executed and delivered, or, in connection with such transfer, executes and delivers, a joinder to the Tax Receivable Agreement. Payments generally will be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement as the Company realizes actual cash tax savings in periods after consummation of the Business Combination from the tax benefits covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement.
Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of OpCo
Following the Closing, the Company will operate its business through OpCo. On the Closing Date, the Company and the other holders of OpCo Units entered into the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of OpCo (the “OpCo LLC Agreement”), which sets forth the rights and obligations of the holders of OpCo Units, including the redemption right (together with the surrender and delivery of the same number of shares of Class B Common Stock) for an equivalent number of shares of Class A Common Stock, the exercise of which is subject to a six-month lock-up provision. Under the OpCo LLC Agreement, OpCo will be managed by a five person board of managers, composed of three persons that were designated by the Company and two persons that were designated by holders of a majority of the OpCo Units held by members of OpCo other than the Company.
Stock Transfer Agreement
On June 10, 2024, a stock transfer agreement (the “Stock Transfer Agreement”) was made and entered into by and between Cohn Investments LLC (the “Purchaser”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Missouri on the one hand and Heidi Robinson ( "Robinson”) on the other. The Reporting person is the managing member of the Purchaser, with the membership interests held by the Cohn Family Trust U/A/D 3/16/2017, The Cohn Family Investments Trust 05/24/18, and 2018 Cohn Family Trust U/A/D 5/24/2018, in all of which the Reporting Person has a direct or indirect interest. Under the Stock Transfer Agreement, Robinson agreed to sell 500,000 shares of Class B Common Stock to the Purchaser for $775,000.
On June 10, 2024, a stock transfer agreement (the “Stock Transfer Agreement”) was made and entered into by and between Cohn Investments LLC (the “Purchaser”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Missouri on the one hand and Adam Weber ( "Weber”) on the other. The Reporting person is the managing member of the Purchaser, with the membership interests held by the Cohn Family Trust U/A/D 3/16/2017, The Cohn Family Investments Trust 05/24/18, and 2018 Cohn Family Trust U/A/D 5/24/2018, in all of which the Reporting Person has a direct or indirect interest. Under the Stock Transfer Agreement, Weber agreed to sell 500,000 shares of Class B Common Stock to the Purchaser for $790,000.
On August 16, 2024, a share sale agreement (the “Share Sale Agreement”) was made and entered into by and between Cohn Family Trust U/A/D 3/16/2017 and Greenvale Capital LLP (acting for and on behalf of certain funds and accounts managed or advised by it). Mr. Cohn, a Reporting Person, is the trustee of the trustee. Under the Share Sale Agreement, the trust purchased 9,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for $7,948,800.
Cohn Investments LLC; Rarefied Air Capital LLC; Cohn Family Investments Trust U/A/D 5/24/2018; Cohn Family Trust U/A/D 5/24/2018
On April 13, 2023, Ms. Cohn became the sole trustee of the Cohn Family Investments Trust U/A/D 5/24/2018 and the Cohn Family Trust U/A/D 5/24/2018 and thus the beneficial owner of the securities held by these trusts. On April 13, 2023, Ms. Cohn was given sole dispositive and sole voting power with respect to certain securities held by Cohn Investments LLC and Rarefied Air Capital LLC, which are reported as beneficially owned by Ms. Cohn. Mr. Cohn disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares reported as beneficially owned by Ms. Cohn.
The foregoing summaries do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Stockholders’ Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement, Tax Receivable Agreement, OpCo LLC Agreement, the Stock Transfer Agreements, and the Share Sale Agreement included with this Statement as Exhibits 6 through 14, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

Whereas, each of the Company’s Class B shares combined with one OpCo Unit (as defined below) is transferable for one share of Class A common stock (and they can only be transferred together), and the Company’s Class B shares are only transferable in connection with a permitted transfer of a corresponding number of units of Nerdy LLC (such units referred to as the “OpCo Units”), and the Seller desires to transfer the corresponding number of OpCo units to the Purchaser in exchange for the payment by the Purchaser to the Seller of the consideration set forth in this Agreement;

The Seller hereby sells to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser hereby purchases from the Seller, the Shares and the OpCo Units for the Purchaser’s payment to Seller of a total purchase price in the amount of $775,000 (the “Purchase Price”), reflecting a price per Share of $1.55 including the linked OpCo Units for any Class B shares.

3.2.Understanding of Risks. The Purchaser is fully aware of: (a) the highly speculative nature of an investment in the Shares and the OpCo Units; (b) the financial and other risks involved; (c) the lack of liquidity of the Shares and the OpCo Units and the restrictions on transferability of the Shares and the OpCo Units; (d) the qualifications and backgrounds of the management of the Company; and (e) the tax consequences of acquiring the Shares and the OpCo Units.

The Purchaser understands that the Shares and the OpCo Units it is purchasing are “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the 1933 Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, the Purchaser represents that the Purchaser is familiar with SEC rules and regulations and any other applicable securities laws and regulations, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the 1933 Act.
