NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which statements involve substantial risk and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “design,” “intend,” “expect,” “could,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “seek,” “should,” “would,” “target,” “project” or “contemplate” or the negative version of these words and other comparable terminology that concern our expectations, strategy, plans, intentions or projections. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements about:

•our ability to attract and engage users and attract and expand our relationships with brick-and-mortar and online retail partners and distributors;

•our future results of operations, including trends in revenue, costs, operating expenses and key metrics;

•our ability to compete successfully in competitive markets;

•our expectations and management of future growth;

•our ability to manage our supply chain, manufacturing, distribution and fulfillment, including the ability to forecast demand and manage our inventory;

•our ability to enter new markets and manage our expansion efforts, including internationally;

•our ability to attract and retain management, key employees and qualified personnel;

•our ability to effectively and efficiently protect our brand;

•our ability to maintain, protect and enhance our intellectual property and not infringe upon others’ intellectual property;

•our continued use of open source software;

•our estimated Serviceable Addressable Market, or SAM, and Total Addressable Market, or TAM;

•our ability to prevent serious errors, defects or vulnerabilities in our products and software;

•the adequacy of our capital resources to fund operations and growth;

•our anticipated uses of net proceeds from our initial public offering;

•our ability to remain in compliance with laws and regulations that currently apply or become applicable to our business both domestically and internationally;

•Petrus’ significant influence over us and our status as a “controlled company” under the rules of the Nasdaq Global Select Market, or the Exchange;

•expectations regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the related responses by governments and private industry on our business and financial condition, as well as the financial condition of our brick-and-mortar and online retail partners, online and e-commerce channels and users; and

•the other factors identified under the section titled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We caution you that the foregoing list may not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. These statements are only predictions based primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, events or circumstances to differ materially from the results, events or circumstances expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including those factors discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. You should specifically consider the numerous risks

Table of Contents

outlined in the section titled “Risk Factors.” Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. Moreover, the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make.

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

1.Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Business

Cricut, Inc. (“Cricut” or the “Company”) is a designer and marketer of a creativity platform that enables users to turn ideas into professional-looking handmade goods. Using the Company’s versatile connected machines, design apps and accessories and materials, users create everything from personalized birthday cards, mugs and T-shirts to large-scale interior decorations. The Company’s connected machines and related accessories and materials and subscription services are primarily marketed under the Cricut brand in the United States, as well as Europe and other countries of the world. Headquartered in South Jordan, Utah, the Company is an innovator in its industry, focused on bringing innovative technology (automation and consumerization of industrial tools) to the craft, DIY and home décor categories. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of its wholly owned subsidiaries, which are located throughout Europe and in the Asia-Pacific region.

The Company designs, markets and distributes the Cricut family of products, including connected machines, design apps and accessories and materials. In addition, Cricut sells a broad line of images, fonts and projects for purchase à la carte.

On September 2, 2020, Cricut converted from a Utah corporation to a Delaware corporation. In connection with such conversion, each share of Class A common stock, par value $0.01, of the Utah corporation was exchanged for one share of common stock of the Delaware corporation, par value $0.001. On March 11, 2021, the Company filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a 64.2645654-for-1 forward stock split of its outstanding common stock. The par value per share was not adjusted as a result of the forward stock split. All authorized, issued and outstanding shares of common stock, common stock, additional paid in capital and the related per share amounts contained in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the forward stock split and change in par value for all prior periods presented.

The Company organizes its business into the following three reportable segments: Connected Machines, Subscriptions and Accessories and Materials. See Note 13, Segment Information, for further discussion of the Company’s segment reporting structure.

Initial Public Offering and Corporate Reorganization

The Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 related to its initial public offering (“IPO”) was declared effective on March 24, 2021 by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and the Company’s Class A common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on March 25, 2021. On March 29, 2021, the Company closed its IPO, in which the Company sold 13,250,000 shares of Class A common stock and the selling stockholders sold an additional 2,064,903 shares of Class A common stock at a price to the public of $20.00 per share. The Company received aggregate net proceeds of $242.7 million after deducting offering costs, underwriting discounts and commissions of $22.3 million. On April 28, 2021, the Company sold an additional 968,815 shares of Class A common stock and the selling stockholders sold an additional 150,984 shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares which generated net proceeds of $18.0 million after deducting for underwriting discounts and commissions of $1.4 million.

Immediately prior to the IPO, the Company engaged in a series of related Corporate Reorganization transactions as follows:

•Cricut, Inc. filed an amended and restated certificate of incorporation; and

•Cricut Holdings, LLC, or Cricut Holdings, dissolved and liquidated in accordance with the terms and conditions of its then existing limited liability company agreement, pursuant to which the holders of existing units in Cricut Holdings (including holders of purchased units, incentive units, zero strike price incentive units, certain phantom units and options), or the Existing Unitholders, received 100% of the capital stock of Cricut, Inc., its sole asset, at the time of the liquidation with a value implied by the initial public offering price of the shares of Class A common stock to be sold in this offering. Cricut Holdings ceased to exist following this transaction.

Table of Contents

In connection with the Corporate Reorganization the outstanding stock based compensation awards issued by Cricut Holdings were modified or settled as described in Note 8 below.

Upon filing the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, all of the Company’s historical Common Stock converted to Class B common stock. Shares of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to five votes per share and is convertible at any time into one share of Class A common stock.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act"), on March 25, 2021 (the "Prospectus"). However, the Company believes that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cricut, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures including certain notes required by GAAP on an annual reporting basis.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and the changes in equity for the interim periods. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter, the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, or any other period.

Except as described elsewhere in Note 2 below, there have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s Prospectus.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. For revenue recognition, examples of estimates and judgments include: determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, determining the standalone selling price (“SSP”) of performance obligations, estimating variable consideration such as sales incentives and product returns. Other estimates include the warranty reserve, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserve, intangible assets and other long-lived assets valuation, legal contingencies, stock-based compensation, income taxes, deferred tax assets valuation and internally developed software, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on the Company’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including any effects of the ongoing pandemic and the economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Deferred Offering Costs

The Company recorded deferred offering costs of $1.9 million as other assets on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 and consist of costs incurred in connection with the Company’s IPO, including legal,

Table of Contents

accounting, printing and other IPO-related costs. Upon completion of the IPO, these deferred offering costs were reclassified to stockholders’ equity and recorded against the proceeds from the offering.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company measures at fair value certain of its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities by using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

Money market funds are highly liquid investments and are actively traded. The pricing information for the Company’s money market funds are readily available and can be independently validated as of the measurement date. This approach results in the classification of these securities as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3 for any of the periods presented. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company held $161.7 million and $106.0 million in money market funds, respectively, with no unrealized gains or losses.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is computed using the two-class method required for multiple classes of common stock and participating securities. The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights and sharing of losses, of the Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, other than voting rights. As the liquidation and dividend rights and sharing of profits are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis and the resulting net income per share will, therefore, be the same for both Class A and Class B common stock on an individual or combined basis.

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock and, when dilutive, potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Stock-Based and Stock-Equivalent Compensation

The Company records compensation expense for all stock-based awards granted based on the fair value of the award at the time of the grant. Stock-based compensation costs are recognized as expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period, on a straight-line basis for awards with only a service condition. The graded vesting method is used for awards that have service and other conditions. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.

The Company estimates the fair value of awards with time-based or performance-based vesting provisions using the Black-Scholes method. The fair value of awards subject to market conditions is estimated using a Geometric Brownian Motion Stock Path Monte Carlo Simulation (“Monte Carlo Simulation”). The determination of the grant date fair value of the awards issued is affected by a number of variables, including the fair value of the underlying shares or units, the expected price volatility over the expected life of the awards, the expected term of the award, risk-free interest rates, the expected dividend yield of the underlying units and the likelihood of termination.

The Company has limited publicly available stock information and therefore, the Company uses the historical volatility of the stock price of similar publicly traded peer companies. The Company estimates the expected term using the simplified method for “plain vanilla” stock option awards or based on the expected time to a liquidation event or other transaction that would result in settlement of other awards. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected dividend yield is 0.0% as the Company does not anticipate paying dividends, and the Company and its former parent, Cricut Holdings, have not paid dividends other than a one-time dividend paid in 2020. Likelihood of termination for the Monte Carlo Simulation is estimated based upon both historical turnover and anticipated turnover based upon Company or market pressures.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recent accounting standards not yet adopted

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842). The core principle of Topic 842 is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases, including operating leases. Under the new requirements, a lessee will recognize in the

Table of Contents

statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and the right-of-use asset representing the right to the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, the lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed from previous GAAP. The Company anticipates adopting this standard as of January 1, 2021 in its annual report for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2021. The Company expects to recognize right-to-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities at the date of adoption and does not expect the adoption to significantly impact its consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss or cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” (Topic 326). ASU 2016-13 modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments, requiring entities to estimate an expected lifetime credit loss on financial assets. The Company anticipates adopting this standard in the annual report for the Company’s fiscal year ending on December 31, 2021. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes” (Topic 740). ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions for investments, intraperiod allocations and interim calculations and adds guidance to reduce complexity in accounting for income taxes. The Company anticipates adopting this standard in the annual report for the Company’s fiscal year ending on December 31, 2021. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2019-12 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3.Revenue and Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue relates to performance obligations for which payments have been received from the customer prior to revenue recognition. Deferred revenue primarily consists of deferred subscription-based services. Deferred revenue also includes amounts allocated to the unspecified upgrades and enhancements and the Company’s cloud-based services. The Company had no material contract assets.

The following table summarizes the changes in the deferred revenue balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:


	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020
(in thousands)
Deferred revenue, beginning of period	$	26,276	$	14,566

Revenue deferred, net of revenue recognized on contracts in the respective period	25,475		17,552
Deferred revenue, end of period	$	29,841	$	19,891

As of September 30, 2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was equal to the deferred revenue balance.

The Company expects the following recognition of deferred revenue as of September 30, 2021:

5.Revolving Credit Facility

2020 Credit Agreement

In September 2020, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Origin Bank. The Credit Agreement replaces the prior amended credit agreement with Origin Bank. The Credit Agreement provides for a three-year asset-based senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $150.0 million, maturing on September 4, 2023. During the term of the Credit Agreement, the Company may increase the aggregate amount of the Credit Facility by up to an additional $200.0 million, (for maximum aggregate lender commitments of up to $350.0 million), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions under the Credit Agreement, including obtaining the consent of the administrative agent and an increased commitment from existing or new lenders. The Credit Facility may be used to issue letters of credit and for other business purposes, including working capital needs.

The amount that can be borrowed under the Credit Facility is limited to the lesser of (a) the borrowing base minus the aggregate revolving exposure or (b) aggregate lender commitments at any given time. The borrowing base is determined according to certain percentages of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory (which may be valued at average cost, market value or net orderly liquidation value), subject to reserves determined by the administrative agent. At any time that the Company’s borrowing base is less than the aggregate lender commitments, the Company can only borrow revolving loans up to the amount of the Company’s borrowing base and not in the full amount of the aggregate lender commitments. As of September 30, 2021, no amount was outstanding under the Credit Agreement and available borrowings were $150.0 million.

Generally, borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate based on LIBOR (“Adjusted LIBO rate”) or an alternative base rate (“ABR”), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will range from (a) with respect to borrowings bearing interest at the ABR, 1.50% to 2.00%, and (b) with respect to borrowings bearing interest at the ABR (i) if the “REVLIBOR30 Screen Rate” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is available for such period, 1.50% to 2.00%, or (ii) otherwise, 0.00% to 0.50%, in each case for the previous clauses (a) and (b), based on our “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” as defined in the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants during the initial year of the agreement, requiring the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0, measured monthly on a trailing 12-month basis. The Company is also subject to this covenant in future periods if the available commitment is less than the

Table of Contents

greater of $15.0 million and 10% of total commitment made by all lenders. Management has determined that the Company was in compliance with all financial and non-financial debt covenants as of September 30, 2021.

6.Income Taxes

As required by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” the Company computes interim period income taxes by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date income from operations before income taxes, except for significant unusual or infrequently occurring items. The estimated effective tax rate is adjusted each quarter in accordance with ASC 740.

The effective tax rate after discrete items was 20.6 percent and 22.8 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and 21.3 percent and 22.2 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The Company’s provision for income taxes after discrete items was $7.8 million and $38.0 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and $12.2 million and $26.6 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The provision for income taxes varied from the tax computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate for the periods presented primarily due to state taxes offset by discrete tax items including research and development tax credits as well as foreign derived intangible income (FDII).

The Company reviews its deferred tax assets for realization based upon historical taxable income, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and expected future taxable income. The Company has concluded that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets for any of the periods presented.

7.Capital Structure

In connection with the Corporate Reorganization prior to the IPO, the Company filed an amended and restated certification of incorporation which authorized 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 1,250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, which was divided between two series Class A common stock and Class B common stock. All previously outstanding common stock was reclassified as Class B common stock. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, 16,149,173 and 18,365,060 shares of Class B common stock were converted to Class A common stock, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had 1,000,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 250,000,000 shares of Class B common stock authorized and 32,678,380 shares of Class A common stock and 189,500,841 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to five votes per share and is convertible at any time into one share of Class A common stock.

As of September 30, 2021, there was $129.5 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to equity awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.4 years.

As of September 30, 2021, there was $1.0 million of estimated unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to liability classified awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.

Corporate Reorganization and Stock-Based Compensation Modifications

In connection with the Corporate Reorganization, all outstanding awards issued under the Incentive Unit Plan discussed below were modified by exchanging the outstanding awards of Cricut Holdings for awards of the Company. All service based vesting conditions were unaffected by the modification. As described below, the vesting conditions were modified for certain awards which previously had both service and market based vesting conditions.

All vested equity classified awards were settled in shares of the Company’s Class B common stock previously held by Cricut Holdings. Unvested equity classified awards were converted to restricted shares of the Company’s Class B common stock subject to future vesting, or in the case of options were converted into options to purchase the Company’s Class B common stock. All vested liability classified awards converted into either shares of Class B common stock to the extent permitted in each applicable jurisdiction or settled in cash. All unvested liability classified awards converted into restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan that will vest into shares of Class A common stock of Cricut, Inc. to the extent permitted in each applicable jurisdiction or into restricted stock unit equivalents which will be settled in cash upon vesting as described below.

In connection with the Corporate Reorganization and modification, the Company granted options under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to certain employees. The number of options was calculated based on the number of outstanding incentive units or incentive unit equivalents prior to the modification and the participation threshold of such awards. The vesting terms of the options are also based on the vesting terms of the original award. Therefore, the Company considered the exchange of the original award for the restricted shares or RSUs plus the options to be a single modification and will recognize the incremental compensation cost of $14.5 million over the vesting term. Of this amount, the Company recognized $0.8 million and $5.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, including a cumulative adjustment in March 2021 to recognize the incremental compensation cost associated with historical vesting.

As part of the modification of outstanding awards in connection with the Corporate Reorganization, awards issued under the Incentive Unit Plan which included both service and market conditions were modified to remove the market vesting condition and to increase the participation threshold of the award to the price specified in the former market condition. In total, 3.0 million, 3.0 million, 1.0 million and 1.0 million awards which previously had a participation threshold of $2.00, $2.00, $5.00 and $5.00 per share, respectively, were modified to have a participation threshold of $3.00, $4.00, $6.00 and $7.00 per share, respectively. Incremental compensation cost associated with

Table of Contents

these awards is included in the total incremental compensation cost associated with the issuance of additional options to employees described above as this change was part of a single modification.

These modifications are shown as cancellations under the Incentive Unit Plan and as grants under the activity summarized below.

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

In March 2021, the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan became effective. The 2021 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to employees and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units and performance shares to our employees, directors and consultants and our parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees and consultants. As of September 30, 2021, 20,800,000 shares of Class A common stock were reserved for issuance under this plan including shares reserved for previously granted awards discussed below as well as shares reserved for issuance of future awards under the plan.

A summary of the Company’s RSU activity under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan is as follows:

2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In March 2021, the Company’s 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2021 ESPP”) became effective. Subject to any limitations contained therein, the 2021 ESPP allows eligible employees to contribute, through payroll deductions, up to 15% of their eligible compensation to purchase the Company’s Class A common stock at a discounted price per share. As of September 30, 2021, 4,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock were available for sale under the 2021 ESPP.

No offerings have been authorized to date by the administrator under the 2021 ESPP. If the administrator authorizes an offering period under the 2021 ESPP, the administrator will establish the duration of offering periods and purchase periods, including the starting and ending dates of offering periods and purchase periods, provided that no offering period may have a duration exceeding 27 months.

Incentive Unit Plan

The Company’s former parent, Cricut Holdings, authorized an Incentive Unit Compensation Plan (the “IU Plan”) that allowed for issuances of common incentive units (“CIUs”). The participation threshold of the awards granted under the IU Plan was typically equal to the fair market value of Cricut Holdings’ membership units at the date of the grant, except zero strike price incentive unit awards which have no participation threshold. Except as noted below, all awards issued under the IU Plan only had service-based conditions. Per unit amounts in the activity below are based on the value of Cricut Holdings’ units.

Equity Classified Units

The Company’s former parent, Cricut Holdings, granted CIUs to employees of the Company. These awards vested 25% annually over four years of service. The Company’s former parent also granted a performance-based incentive unit, which is discussed later. These awards are collectively referred to as equity classified incentive units. Once vested, all equity classified incentive units remained outstanding until the liquidation of Cricut Holdings or until repurchased by Cricut Holdings. Upon the liquidation of Cricut Holdings all outstanding awards were settled or modified as described above.
