Infinitum

On April 29, 2022, we purchased $32.6 million of Series D Preferred Stock from Infinitum, a Texas-based startup developer and manufacturer of electric motors featuring printed circuit board stators.  The preferred stock provides for non-cumulative dividends when and if declared by Infinitum’s board of directors. Each share is convertible, at any time, at our option, into shares of common stock of Infinitum. We account for our ownership interest in Infinitum as an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value.  It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of our investment in Infinitum because of the lack of a quoted market price for our ownership interests.  Therefore, we use a measurement alternative other than fair value to account for our investment. There were no changes in our investment in Infinitum for three months ended June 30, 2022.During the period we have not observed any price changes that have occurred to identical or similar securities sold by Infinitum that would indicate an adjustment to the fair value of our investment is warranted.
