Filing Summary: ContextLogic Inc. is filing a Supplement to the Proxy Statement associated with the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders scheduled for July 10, 2025. This Supplement provides critical updates and amends the previously issued Proxy Statement dated May 28, 2025, in connection with a Reorganization Proposal. The Reorganization involves ContextLogic becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of a newly formed holding company, Easter Parent, Inc., immediately followed by ContextLogic's conversion into a Delaware limited liability company. Each share of ContextLogic's class A common stock will be exchanged for one share of common stock in Holdings. The Reorganization aims to protect ContextLogic’s substantial net operating loss carryforwards. Stockholders have appraisal rights if they do not vote in favor of the proposal. The document details the procedures, including the need for compliance with Delaware General Corporation Law Section 262 for stockholders desiring to exercise these rights, and explains the implications of the Reorganization on their shares.

Filing Summary: ContextLogic Inc. has provided a detailed report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, highlighting significant corporate changes following an asset sale.
