Letter of Intent

On March 17, 2023, Direct Selling Acquisition Corp.

No assurances can be made that DSAC will successfully negotiate and enter into a definitive agreement for a business combination or that DSAC will be successful in completing the business combination.

Additional Trust Contribution and Supplement to the Extension Proxy Statement

On March 17, 2023, DSAC announced that DSAC Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (or one or more of its affiliates, members or third-party designees), will make additional contributions to DSAC’s trust account following the approval and implementation of the Extension, as described in this Current Report on Form 8-K. The corresponding disclosure in the Extension Proxy Statement in the “Letter to Stockholders of Direct Selling Acquisition Corp.”, and pages 10, 16, 23 and 29 should be amended as follows:

“If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and the Charter Extension becomes effective, within five business days of the date of the Stockholder Meeting, the Sponsor (or one or more of its affiliates, members or third-party designees) (the “Lender”) shall make a deposit into the Trust Account (as defined below) of $480,000 (emphasis added), in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note issued by the Company to the Lender. In addition, if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and the Charter Extension becomes effective, in the event that the Company has not consummated a Business Combination by June 28, 2023, without approval of the holders of the Company’s Public Stock (the “Public Stockholders”), the Company may, by resolution of the Board, if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, extend the Termination Date up to nine times, each by one additional month (for a total of up to twelve additional months to complete a Business Combination), provided that the Lender will deposit $160,000 (emphasis added) into the Trust Account for each such monthly extension, for an aggregate deposit of up to $1,920,000 (emphasis added) (if all nine additional monthly extensions are exercised), in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note issued by the Company to the Lender. If the Company completes a Business Combination, it will, at the option of the Lender, repay the amounts loaned under the promissory note or convert a portion or all of the amounts loaned under such promissory note into warrants, which warrants will be identical to the Private Placement Warrants (as defined below). If the Company does not complete a Business Combination by the applicable Termination Date, such promissory note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.”

Adjournment

On March 2, 2023, DSAC filed a definitive proxy statement (the “Extension Proxy Statement”) for a special meeting of its stockholders (the “Extension Meeting”) to be held on at 11:00 a.m., Eastern time, on March 22, 2023 to consider and act upon a proposal to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which DSAC must complete an initial business combination from March 28, 2023 to June 28, 2023 (the “Charter Extension Date”) and to allow DSAC, without the need for another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate an initial business combination (a “Business Combination”) on a monthly basis, up to nine times, by an additional one month each time after the Charter Extension Date, by resolution of DSAC’s board of directors, if requested by DSAC Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The Extension Proxy Statement was mailed to DSAC stockholders of record as of February 21, 2023. Stockholders may obtain a copy of the Extension Proxy Statement at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).

On March 17, 2023, DSAC issued a press release announcing that it intends to adjourn, without conducting any business, the Extension Meeting, and to reconvene the Extension Meeting at 11:00 a.m., Eastern time, on March 24, 2023, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. In connection with the adjournment of the Extension Meeting, DSAC is extending the deadline for holders of its shares of Class A common stock to exercise their right to redeem their shares for their pro rata portion of the funds available in DSAC’s trust account, or to withdraw any previously delivered demand for redemption, to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on March 22, 2023 (two business days before the adjourned Extension Meeting).
