Governance Assessment

- Related‑party risk: Extensive transactions among ROLR, Happy Hour Solutions, HR Entertainment, Spike Up Media, and Ellmount affiliates; related‑person transaction policy adopted March 12, 2025 (after most described transactions), placing emphasis on Audit Committee review going forward .
RED FLAGS
- Not independent; officer/shareholder of a related party (Happy Hour) with multiple material transactions with ROLR .
- Complex interlocks across Ellmount/Spike Up/Happy Hour groups; prior related‑party dealings pre‑policy adoption (March 12, 2025) .
- Director equity program “to be established” in future; limited disclosure on director ownership guidelines and hedging/pledging controls for directors .
