HMNY is providing this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) to disclose that MoviePass has surpassed 300,000 paying subscribers as of August 31, 2017.
In addition, MoviePass projects that it will acquire at least 2.5 million additional paying subscribers during the next twelve months, and expects to retain at least 2.1 million of those additional paying subscribers at the end of that period. This projection assumes that MoviePass will receive at least $10 million in additional funding as contemplated by the Helios Note (as defined in the MoviePass SPA) to be issued by HMNY to MoviePass upon the closing of the MoviePass Transaction.

Cautionary Statement Regarding MoviePass Subscriber Acquisitions
Because the MoviePass $9.95 per month subscription pricing model is new, HMNY is providing the information in this Current Report to inform investors about the resulting increase in the number of MoviePass subscribers following the announcement of the new MoviePass subscription pricing model on August 15, 2017 and the number of additional subscribers that MoviePass projects acquiring during the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that such rate of increase or projected number of subscribers will continue or be achieved. Moreover, the increase in the number of subscribers provides no assurance that the MoviePass business model will lead to profitability.
