Accordingly, the Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, if any, and the inclusion of these shares in this report shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of all the reported shares for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or any other purpose. The grant and exercise of such securities are exempt from Section 16(b) pursuant to Rule 16b-3(d) and Rule 16b-6(b), respectively, under the Exchange Act. ( 3 )Represents the redemption by the Issuer of common units of Funko Acquisition Holdings, L.L.C. in exchange for newly-issued shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. ( 4 )ACON Funko Manager, L.L.C. is (x) the sole manager of, and exercises voting and investment power over shares held by, ACON Funko Investors, L.L.C. and (y) the sole managing member of, and exercises voting and investment power over shares held by, ACON Funko Investors Holdings 1, L.L.C.

Voting and investment decisions at ACON Equity GenPar, L.L.C. are made by an investment committee, the members of which are Bernard Aronson, Kenneth Brotman, Jonathan Ginns, Daniel Jinich, Andre Bhatia and Aron Schwartz. ( 5 )The Reporting Person is employed by an affiliate of ACON Funko Manager, L.L.C. and ACON Equity GenPar, L.L.C., and may be deemed to beneficially own securities owned by them. Pursuant to Rule 16a-1(a)(4) under the Exchange Act, the Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, if any, and the inclusion of these shares in this report shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of all the reported shares for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or any other purpose. ( 6 )On May 19, 2022, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated May 3, 2022 by and among the Reporting Person, ACON Funko Investors, L.L.C., ACON Funko Investors Holdings 1, L.L.C., ACON Funko Investors Holdings 2.5, L.L.C., ACON Funko Investors Holdings 3.5, L.L.C., ACON Funko Manager, L.L.C. and Adam Kriger (collectively, the "ACON Parties") and TCG 3.0 Fuji, LP, an affiliate of The Cherin Group ("TCG"), the ACON Parties sold 12,520,55 9 shares of Class A common stock (including 23,292 shares of Class A common stock issued upon the redemption of 23,292 common units of Funko Acquisition Holdings, L.L.C. and the cancellation of 14,557 shares of Class B common stock owned by Mr. Kriger) to TCG.

( 9 )On May 3, 2022, the common units of Funko Acquisition Holdings, L.L.C. were recapitalized through a reverse unit split, which resulted in the cancellation of approximately 0.9 million outstanding shares of the Issuer's Class B common stock in accordance with the Issuer's amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the "Recapitalization"). As a result of the Recapitalization, the common units and shares of Class B common stock beneficially owned by ACON Funko Manager, L.L.C. were each reduced by 681,823 and the common units and shares of Class B common stock beneficially owned by Mr. Kriger were reduced by 3,002 and 1,501, respectively. ( 10 )Pursuant to the award agreement, the stock option will expire on May 27, 2030 unless earlier forfeited. The Reporting Person resigned from the Issuer's board of directors effective May 19, 2022. As a result, the stock option was subject to forfeiture if not exercised by August 17, 2022. ( 11 )At the request of the holder, the common units may be redeemed for, at the Issuer's election, newly-issued shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis or a cash payment equal to a volume weighted average market price of one share of Class A common stock for each common unit redeemed.
