Key Financial and Ownership Metrics

- Following the conversion, Tulco distributed all 58,000,932 Class A shares it held to its members on a pro rata, in-kind basis without consideration.
- Before the conversion and distribution, Tulco’s holdings represented approximately 44.2% of the voting power, based on 152,205,010 Class A shares and 12,496,339 Class B shares outstanding as of March 18, 2022.

Material Changes, Outlook and Risks
The principal change was the conversion of Tulco’s super-voting Class B shares into Class A shares, followed by Tulco’s distribution of its FIGS shares to its members. The transactions altered the ownership structure and eliminated Tulco’s direct holding of the reported shares.
The Tull Parties joined the existing voting agreement as Permitted Transferees and became subject to the same rights and obligations as the other Investor Parties. Collectively, the relevant founders, affiliated trusts and Tull Parties continued to hold majority voting power, which may be material to future corporate governance and shareholder voting outcomes.
The filing does not provide management guidance, an operating outlook, financial contingencies or unusual accounting items. The detailed terms of the voting arrangement are contained in the voting agreement and the amendment and joinder filed as Exhibit 10.1.
Investor Verification Points
- Verify the post-transaction voting rights and any continuing Class B or other enhanced voting provisions in the amended charter.
- Review the full voting agreement and Exhibit 10.1 for transfer restrictions, governance rights and obligations of the Tull Parties.
- Confirm beneficial ownership disclosures and subsequent changes reported by Thomas Tull, the Tull Parties, Ms. Hasson and Ms. Spear.
- Assess whether the concentration of approximately 53.7% of voting power affects shareholder control, board composition or future strategic transactions.
- Note that the filing text does not provide clear financial performance or liquidity values for the reporting period.
