• Corporate Opportunities Waiver Proposed

  Shareholders will vote on amending the company's charter to formally waive corporate opportunities for 'Exempted Persons' (Abrams Capital and BC Partners affiliates, including directors/officers). This allows these entities to pursue business opportunities that could otherwise belong to ContextLogic, even if the company might reasonably pursue them. This formalizes a waiver already approved by the Board in December 2025, which was a condition for the US Salt acquisition.

• Director Elections Scheduled

  The company will hold elections for two Class I directors, Raja Bobbili and Mark Ward, both of whom are affiliated with the 'Exempted Persons' mentioned in the corporate opportunities proposal.

• Auditor Change Ratification

  Shareholders are asked to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for 2026, following the dismissal of BPM LLP. This change was previously disclosed in an 8-K filing on March 26, 2026.

• Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

  A non-binding 'Say on Pay' vote will be held on the compensation of named executive officers for the year ended December 31, 2025. Former CEO Rishi Bajaj received significant separation benefits totaling over $7.7 million.

ContextLogic is seeking shareholder approval for a significant amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation that would formally waive certain corporate opportunities for 'Exempted Persons,' including affiliates of Abrams Capital Management and BC Partners, who are also major shareholders and have representatives on the Board. While the Board already adopted resolutions to this effect in December 2025, this proposal aims to enshrine the waiver in the company's charter, making it a more permanent governance change. This allows these key investors and their affiliates to pursue business opportunities that could otherwise be considered corporate opportunities for ContextLogic, potentially limiting the company's strategic growth avenues and creating conflicts of interest for minority shareholders. This proposal is a direct consequence of the new ownership structure following the US Salt acquisition, which was detailed in the company's recent 10-K filing. Additionally, the filing includes the routine ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent auditor, a change that was previously disclosed in an 8-K on March 26, 2026.
