Equity Method Investment EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT
On October 17, 2019, the Company made a minority equity investment of $8,000,000 in Warehouse Solutions Inc. (“WSI”), purchasing 8% of the common stock of WSI and receiving warrants to purchase an additional 10% of the common stock of WSI upon exercise of the warrants at a later date. WSI provides technology solutions to help reduce supply chain costs for a global client base across multiple industries.
The following table presents the Company’s investment in WSI, allocated to the purchased common stock and the purchased warrants:
(Dollars in thousands)December 31,
2021		December 31,
2020
Common stock$5,142 $5,037 
Warrants3,224 3,224 
Total investment$8,366 $8,261 
The entire investment is included in other assets within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Although the Company holds less than 20% of the voting stock of WSI, the investment in common stock is accounted for using the equity method as the Company’s representation on WSI’s board of directors, which is disproportionately larger in size than the common stock investment held, demonstrates that it has significant influence over the investee. The difference between the amount at which the investment in common stock is carried and the amount of underlying equity in net assets does not have a material impact on the Company’s equity method earnings.
The Company has made an accounting policy election to record its equity method earnings from the investment in WSI common stock on a one quarter lag. Equity method earnings from the investment were not material for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019.
