ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS	ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS On October 14, 2020, Software Acquisition Group Inc., a special purpose acquisition company and a Delaware corporation (“SAQN”), consummated a reverse merger pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated August 10, 2020 (the “Business Combination”). Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, CuriosityStream Operating Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy CuriosityStream”) became a wholly owned subsidiary of SAQN, and the registrant changed its name from “Software Acquisition Group Inc.” to “CuriosityStream Inc.” Following the consummation of the Business Combination, Legacy CuriosityStream changed its name from “CuriosityStream Operating Inc.” to “Curiosity Inc.” The principal business of CuriosityStream Inc. (the "Company" or "CuriosityStream") is providing customers with access to high quality factual content via subscription or license. The Company's online library available for streaming spans the entire category of factual entertainment including science, history, society, nature, lifestyle, and technology, offered through its flagship subscription video-on-demand ("SVOD") service, Curiosity Stream. Individual customers can purchase subscriptions directly via the Company's SVOD platform accessible by internet connected devices and applications for such devices as well as through distributor channel stores offering the Company’s subscriptions services. Individual subscriptions may be monthly or annual and pricing may vary based on the customer's location worldwide. Customers may also subscribe to Company services indirectly via distribution partners who deliver CuriosityStream content via the distributor's platform or system. Such wholesale distribution agreements typically convey a broad scope of rights, such as access to a 24/7 linear channel and an on-demand content library, with pricing and packaging flexibility, in exchange for an annual fixed fee or per-subscriber fee as part of a multi-year deal. The streaming library is composed of thousands of accessible on-demand and ad-free productions and includes shows and series from leading nonfiction producers. The Company also has a substantial licensing business. Traditionally this business focused on content licensing of CuriosityStream’s library of 15,000 hours of factual entertainment content to other media companies and distributors worldwide, typically for a fee per hour of content. CuriosityStream’s traditional content licensing business is global, and licensed rights vary by platform or outlet, such as SVOD, FAST and Pay TV. The Company also owns, licenses or has access to millions of hours of content, both finished and raw, across the landscape of content genres and languages, as well as hundreds of millions of tokens of code and other datasets for sublicensing to technology companies to train artificial intelligence (AI) models and products that utilize AI. CuriosityStream’s other businesses include advertising, such as FAST and AVOD channels and advertising on its Pay TV channels. On June 30, 2026, the Company disposed of certain assets related to its Curiosity University, Curiosity Audio, and Catholic Stream brands to an unrelated third party. Concurrently, the Company entered into a 30-year content license agreement to license certain of its retained content related to these brands to the acquirer, together with a distribution and services agreement under which the Company continues to provide certain operational and distribution services.
