EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 5 (this Amendment) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on June 29, 2018, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the SEC on August 24, 2018, Amendment No. 2 thereto filed with the SEC on August 5, 2019, Amendment No. 3 thereto filed with the SEC on October 7, 2019 and Amendment No. 4 thereto filed with the SEC on November 8, 2019 (collectively, the Schedule 13D) by the Reporting Persons relating to shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (Common Stock), of MusclePharm Corporation (the Issuer).

Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:
On February 7, 2022, White Winston Select Asset Funds, LLC and White Winston Select Asset Fund Series Fund MP-18, LLC (the Plaintiffs) filed a complaint (the Complaint) in the Suffolk County Superior Court for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts against the Issuer and Ryan Drexler (the Defendants), and thereby initiated an action against the Defendants for unfair trade practices, abuse of process, malicious prosecution and breach of the duty of loyalty. Mr. Drexler is the Issuers Chief Executive Officer and serves as Chairman of its Board of Directors.
In the Complaint, the Plaintiffs allege, among other things, that (i) the Defendants have engaged in a pattern of oppression and retaliation against the Plaintiffs in response to the Plaintiffs efforts as shareholders of the Issuer to achieve corporate governance reforms to limit Mr. Drexlers dominance of the Issuers management and operations; (ii) Mr. Drexler has abused his multiple positions within the Issuers corporate structure to enable himself to become the Issuers primary creditor, repeatedly causing the Issuer to borrow millions of dollars over a six-year period in exchange for convertible notes granting Mr. Drexler the right to acquire shares of Common Stock at successively lower conversion prices; and (iii) Mr. Drexler has otherwise engaged in corporate mismanagement of the Issuer to the detriment of the Plaintiffs and the Issuers stockholders generally.
The foregoing description of the Complaint is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Complaint, which is filed as Exhibit 1 to this Amendment and is incorporated by reference herein.
