Closing of the Merger
On June 30, 2026 (the “Effective Date”),
House of Doge Inc. (formerly Brag House Holdings, Inc.) (the “Company”) completed its previously announced merger pursuant
to the Merger Agreement, dated as of October 12, 2025, by and among the Company, Brag House Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Merger Sub”), and House of Doge Inc., a Texas corporation (“HOD”), as amended pursuant to Amendment

as of March 26, 2026, Amendment No. 4 thereto dated as of May 11, 2026, and Amendment No. 5 thereto dated as of June 15, 2026 (the “Merger

At

and 2.051823 shares (the “Merger Preferred Shares”) of the Company’s Class C preferred stock, par value $0.0001

outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time were automatically converted into 2,283,392 Company RSUs. Following the closing of

In conjunction with the closing of the Merger,
the Company transferred all of the Company’s pre-Merger business and operations to the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary,
Brag House, Inc. (“Brag House”), such that immediately following the closing of the Merger, the Company became a holding
company. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, Messrs. Malloy and Leibovich and Rodriguez will continue to operate such
