[Rishi Bajaj, executive]

Good afternoon, everyone. We continue to streamline the business in the second quarter. By reducing head count and promoting Michael Scarola to Chief Financial Officer, ContextLogic is positioned to operate even more efficiently while pursuing our acquisition strategy. We are also thrilled that our shareholders passed all the resolutions during the recent Annual General Meeting. Specifically, we would like to thank our shareholders for passing the plan of reorganization, which further protects the considerable tax assets of the company. Effective today, the company completed its reorganization to become ContextLogic Holdings, Inc. following the satisfaction of all closing conditions.

I will now turn the call over to Michael Scarola, our CFO, to discuss the financial highlights for the quarter.

[Michael Scarola, executive]

Thank you, Rishi. Before getting into the Q2 results, I would like to express how much I've enjoyed collaborating with our talented management team and gaining deeper insights into our operations over the past month. I look forward to ensuring the company continues to operate smoothly while it pursues its transformation.

Now I'd like to briefly highlight our operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. In Q2, we incurred $7 million of G&A expenses, which includes $1 million of expenses related to the evaluation and pursuit of potential transactions. We also incurred $2 million of onetime nonrecurring G&A expenses related to our cost restructuring, including severance payments to our former CFO and accelerated amortization of director compensation following the previously announced resignation of 2 Board members in April.

We closed the quarter with $219 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, a decrease of $3 million from the prior quarter due to net cash and marketable securities used in operations. Following the consummation of our corporate reorganization as well as the closing of the One Sansome Street letter of credit, we anticipate that our cash balance will stabilize around $218 million through the end of the year.

I will now turn the call over to Janak Goyani, our Vice President of Investments, to discuss the acquisition process.

[Janak Goyani, executive]

Thank you, Mike. I would like to briefly update our shareholders on our ongoing search for a suitable acquisition target. Since BC Partners' initial investment in ContextLogic in February 2025, we have seen a meaningful increase in visibility and interest in the ContextLogic story. This has translated into a notable uptick in inbound opportunities from our investment banking and financial sponsor relationships. Encouragingly, our shareholder base has also become a valuable source of ideas and deal flow. The team remains highly engaged, actively evaluating each opportunity and continuously refining our investment criteria as the pipeline evolves.

I will now turn the call over to Rishi for closing remarks.

[Rishi Bajaj, executive]

Thank you, Janak. With the first half of this year behind us, we are proud of the results from our streamlining initiatives, and we're excited to be unlocking the value of our considerable assets. Although there are no guarantees, we remain optimistic, and we look forward to sharing further details with our shareholders in the coming quarters, especially regarding our acquisition efforts. We thank you for your continued support of ContextLogic.

[Unknown Executive]

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, this does conclude today's conference call. Again, thank you very much for joining us today. You may all disconnect, and have a wonderful day. Goodbye.
