Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions Disclosures [Text Block] | NOTE 15 – MERGER On September 29, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Rhodium Enterprises, Inc. (“Rhodium”), an industrial-scale digital asset technology company utilizing proprietary technologies to mine bitcoin. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both SilverSun and Rhodium, upon the consummation of the business combination, the Company will receive $10 million in cash and will retain 3.2% equity in SilverSun upon consummation of the merger. Each holder of an outstanding share of SilverSun common stock will receive:
| ● | A cash dividend of at least $1.50 per share, which equates to approximately $8.5 million in the aggregate;
| ● | A stock dividend of one share of SilverSun Technologies Holdings, Inc. ("HoldCo"), a recently formed subsidiary of SilverSun. HoldCo's sole assets are its 100% ownership of SWK and SCS (together the "Subsidiaries"), which Subsidiaries accounted for the large majority of SilverSun's revenue in 2022. It is expected that the capital structure of HoldCo will roughly approximate the current capital structure of SilverSun;
| ● | Following the consummation of the business combination, the business of the Subsidiaries will continue to be operated consistent with past practices. The current management and Board of Directors of SilverSun, including Mark Meller, the Chief Executive Officer of both SilverSun and SWK, will continue in their current roles at both HoldCo and the Subsidiaries. HoldCo will apply for public listing and the shares distributed in the stock dividend will be registered pursuant to a Form 10 that will be filed by HoldCo with the SEC (subject to regulatory and exchange regulations and approvals); and
| ● | The shares of SilverSun's common stock to be retained by the current SilverSun stockholders following the consummation of the business combination will collectively represent approximately 3.2% of SilverSun's pro forma common equity ownership.
The proposed Mergers are expected to close in March or April of 2023, subject to the receipt of any applicable regulatory approvals, the approval of SilverSun's and Rhodium's respective stockholders, and other customary closing conditions. Prior to the Mergers, SilverSun will hold a special meeting of its shareholders as of a pre-Merger record date to be determined (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the SilverSun stockholders will be asked to vote on the proposals set forth in the Form S-4 Registration Statement of SilverSun (the “Form S-4”) filed on October 19, 2022, as amended on January 9, 2023 and February 14, 2023 and as may be further amended in the future. These proposals include, but are not limited to, approval of (i) the Mergers; (ii) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (and the matters covered thereby including the Reverse Stock Split); (iii) the Separation and Distribution Agreement; (iv) the SilverSun Technologies, Inc. 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan; (v) the share issuances related to the Mergers requiring Nasdaq approval; and (vi) the post-Merger board nominees.

The Merger Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions abandoned, by SilverSun at any time before the First Effective Time, if (i) Rhodium breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in the Merger Agreement, which breach (a) would give rise to the failure to satisfy the general closing conditions or the closing conditions to the obligations of SilverSun at the Closing and (b) such breach cannot be cured by the Termination Date, or, if curable, has not been cured by Rhodium within the earlier of (A) 30 days after Rhodium’s receipt of written notice of such breach from SilverSun and (B) three business days prior to the Termination Date, subject to certain conditions; or (ii) all of the general closing conditions and the closing conditions to the obligations of Rhodium at the Closing have been satisfied (other than any condition the failure of which to be satisfied has been principally caused by the breach of the Merger Agreement by Rhodium or any of its affiliates and conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at Closing and which are, at the time of termination, capable of being satisfied) and Rhodium has failed to fulfill its obligations and agreements contained in the Merger Agreement to consummate the Closing within three business days following written notice of such satisfaction from SilverSun and SilverSun is ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing.
