Many items are disclosed herein solely for informational purposes, and the disclosure of any such item does not establish a standard of materiality for purposes of the Agreement.

SCHEDULE 3.2

Authority; No Conflict

Board/Member Authorization:

The Board of Managers of Meridian Consumer Brands LLC (the "Board") has duly authorized the transactions contemplated by the Agreement in accordance with the LLC Agreement and applicable law. The authorization occurred in two stages:

(a) At a duly noticed meeting of the Board held on November 18, 2024, the Board adopted a resolution approving the strategic divestiture of the PureGlow product line and authorizing the engagement of Whitfield Barrow & Co. LLC as Seller's financial advisor in connection therewith. The resolution was adopted unanimously by the five (5) members of the Board present, constituting a quorum.

(b) At a duly noticed meeting of the Board held on May 9, 2025, the Board adopted a supplemental resolution (the "Authorization Resolution") specifically authorizing the execution and delivery of the Agreement and all ancillary agreements, documents, and instruments contemplated thereby, including the Bill of Sale, the IP Assignment Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement, the Non-Competition Agreement, and any other closing deliverables. The Authorization Resolution was adopted unanimously by the five (5) members of the Board present, constituting a quorum. A copy of the Authorization Resolution has been made available to Buyer in the Thackeray Solutions virtual data room.

No further member consent, vote, or approval is required under the LLC Agreement, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, or any other applicable Law to authorize the execution, delivery, and performance by Seller of the Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.

Exceptions / Potential Conflicts:

The following consents, approvals, or notices are required in connection with the execution, delivery, and performance by Seller of the Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby:

1. Landlord Consent — Dayton, OH Lease. Pursuant to Section 12.4 of the Lease Agreement dated July 1, 2020 (the "Dayton Lease"), by and between Buckeye Industrial Realty Partners LLC, as landlord, and Meridian Consumer Brands LLC, as tenant, the prior written consent of the landlord is required for any assignment, transfer, or conveyance of the tenant's interest in the Dayton Lease. The Dayton Lease provides that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. A formal consent request letter was submitted to Buckeye Industrial Realty Partners LLC on April 22, 2025. As of the date hereof, landlord consent has not been received, and Seller is actively working with the landlord to obtain such consent prior to the Closing Date. See also Schedule 3.8 for additional details regarding the Dayton Lease.

2. Customer Assignment Consents. Three (3) of the eight (8) customer supply and distribution agreements that constitute Assumed Contracts contain provisions requiring the prior written consent of the counterparty for assignment of the agreement to a third party (including in connection with a sale of assets). The three agreements requiring consent are:

(a) Master Supply Agreement between Meridian Consumer Brands LLC and Hartwell Retail Group, dated February 14, 2021 (Section 18.3 — assignment and change-of-control clause);

(b) Distribution Agreement between Meridian Consumer Brands LLC and Cascade Consumer Products Inc., dated October 1, 2022 (Section 14.2 — assignment clause); and

Formal consent request letters were submitted to each of the foregoing counterparties on April 28, 2025 and May 1, 2025, respectively. As of the date hereof, none of the requested consents have been received. Seller is engaged in discussions with each counterparty and is making commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents prior to the Closing Date. See Schedule 3.10(b) for additional details.

3. Notice to Hargrove Capital Partners Fund IV LP. Section 7.2 of the LLC Agreement requires that written notice be provided to Hargrove Capital Partners Fund IV LP not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to any disposition by Seller of assets having an aggregate value in excess of $5,000,000. Such notice was provided in connection with the Board meeting on November 18, 2024, and the requisite consent of Hargrove Capital Partners Fund IV LP was obtained as part of the Board approval process described above, Hargrove Capital Partners Fund IV LP's designated Board representatives having voted in favor of the Authorization Resolution.

Other than as set forth above, the execution, delivery, and performance by Seller of the Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, do not and will not (a) violate or conflict with the certificate of formation or the LLC Agreement of Seller, (b) violate or conflict with any Law or Order applicable to Seller or the Acquired Assets, or (c) result in a breach of, constitute a default under, or give rise to any right of termination, acceleration, or cancellation under any Contract to which Seller is a party or by which any of the Acquired Assets are bound, except in the case of clause (c) for such breaches, defaults, or rights that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SCHEDULE 3.3

(d) Basis of Preparation: The carve-out financial statements described above have been prepared on a carve-out basis using Meridian's historical accounting policies (U.S. GAAP applied consistently) and include allocations of certain shared corporate overhead costs, including allocations of human resources, information technology, legal, and finance department costs. Corporate overhead has been allocated based on a combination of direct usage and proportionate revenue allocation methodologies. These financial statements have not been audited or reviewed by an independent public accounting firm and do not include all disclosures that would be required under U.S. GAAP for standalone financial statements. Seller makes no representation that the carve-out financial statements necessarily reflect what the PureGlow business's financial position or results of operations would have been had the PureGlow business been operated as a standalone entity during the period presented.

Disclosure of Known Liabilities:

Except as set forth below, to Seller's Knowledge, there are no liabilities or obligations of Seller of a nature required to be reflected on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP, whether accrued, contingent, absolute, determined, determinable, or otherwise, relating to the PureGlow product line or the Acquired Assets, other than (i) liabilities reflected or reserved against in the carve-out financial statements described above, (ii) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business since December 31, 2024, and (iii) liabilities and obligations arising under the Assumed Contracts:

(a) Accrued Product Return Reserves. As of December 31, 2024, Seller maintained accrued product return reserves of approximately $485,000 related to the PureGlow product line, reflecting estimated returns from retail customers in the ordinary course consistent with historical return rates.

(b) Pending Warranty Claims. As of the date hereof, there are pending product warranty and consumer satisfaction claims relating to PureGlow products received through Seller's ordinary course customer service operations. No individual warranty claim exceeds $25,000 in value, and the aggregate amount of all pending warranty claims does not exceed $72,000.

(c) Trade Payables. As of December 31, 2024, trade accounts payable related to PureGlow operations (including amounts owed to raw material suppliers, packaging vendors, and service providers) totaled approximately $4,150,000, all of which were within standard payment terms and were not past due.

(d) Accrued Employee Compensation. As of December 31, 2024, accrued compensation and benefits for PureGlow transferred employees (including accrued wages, bonuses, and vacation/PTO) totaled approximately $1,180,000.

SCHEDULE 3.4

Absence of Changes

Except as set forth below or as otherwise contemplated by the Agreement, since December 31, 2024 (the "Balance Sheet Date"), Seller has conducted the PureGlow business in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, and there has been no event, occurrence, development, or state of circumstances that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the PureGlow business or the Acquired Assets. The following events and developments occurring since the Balance Sheet Date are disclosed for purposes of this Schedule:

1. Board Decision and Strategic Announcement. In connection with the Board resolution adopted on November 18, 2024 (as described in Schedule 3.2), the Board approved the strategic divestiture of the PureGlow product line. During the first quarter of 2025, Seller's management communicated the contemplated divestiture on a confidential basis to certain key customers and to senior PureGlow-dedicated employees. These communications were made pursuant to confidentiality undertakings and were intended to facilitate an orderly transition process.

2. Revenue Trend. PureGlow revenue has been on a declining trend during the twelve-month period preceding the date hereof. For the first quarter of 2025 (the three months ended March 31, 2025), PureGlow revenue was approximately $13,100,000, compared to approximately $15,200,000 for the first quarter of 2024, representing a year-over-year decline of approximately 13.8%. Management attributes this decline primarily to increased competitive pressure in the mid-tier personal care segment, certain retailer shelf-space reductions, and the general strategic de-prioritization of the PureGlow brand within Meridian's broader portfolio.

3. No Material Changes in Pricing, Supplier Terms, or Distribution Arrangements. There have been no material changes in the pricing of PureGlow products, the terms of any supply arrangements with key raw material or packaging suppliers, or the distribution arrangements for PureGlow products, in each case outside the ordinary course of business.

4. Headcount. Two (2) PureGlow-dedicated employees departed voluntarily since December 31, 2024: (a) one quality assurance technician at the Dayton facility (departed February 28, 2025, position not yet backfilled) and (b) one marketing coordinator at the New York headquarters (departed March 14, 2025, responsibilities absorbed by remaining brand team members). Other than these two departures, there have been no material headcount reductions, layoffs, or involuntary terminations among PureGlow-dedicated employees.

5. Product Returns and Warranty Claims. Product return rates and warranty claim volumes for PureGlow products have remained within historical ranges during the period since December 31, 2024. There have been no material increases in return rates or warranty claim frequency.

6. No Capital Expenditures Outside Ordinary Course. No capital expenditures relating to the PureGlow business have been made or committed to in excess of $100,000 individually or $250,000 in the aggregate since December 31, 2024, other than ordinary course maintenance and repair expenditures at the Dayton facility.
