Seller ("you") should seek advice from a registered tax preparer or competent tax advisor about your tax obligations for any payments that you are entitled to receive under the Settlement. However, the Court overseeing the Settlement has directed us to provide the following disclosure:

THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF ANY AGREEMENT YOU SIGN REGARDING YOUR CLAIM MAY VARY DEPENDING ON THE SPECIFIC TERMS OF THAT AGREEMENT. WITH CERTAIN TRANSACTION STRUCTURES, YOU MAY BE REQUIRED TO PAY INCOME TAXES ON THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE PAYMENTS THAT YOU ARE ENTITLED TO UNDER THE SETTLEMENT (EVEN IF THE RESULTING TAX LIABILITY EXCEEDS THE AMOUNT YOU RECEIVED UNDER THE AGREEMENT).

A TRANSACTION STRUCTURED AS AN OUTRIGHT OR "TRUE" SALE MAY REMOVE FUTURE SETTLEMENT PAYMENTS FROM YOUR GROSS INCOME FOR FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX PURPOSES, IN WHICH CASE YOU WOULD INSTEAD LIKELY PAY TAX ON THE PURCHASE PRICE YOU RECEIVE. AS A RESULT OF A SALE, YOU WOULD ALSO BE FORFEITING ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO RECEIVE ADDITIONAL INCOME OR FUTURE PAYMENTS UNDER THE FOURTH AMENDED STIPULATION AND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT, IN RE: COLLEGE ATHLETE NIL LITIGATION, NO. 4:20-CV-03919 (THE "SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT"). YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH A COMPETENT TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR PARTICULAR AGREEMENT BEFORE SIGNING THE AGREEMENT.
