10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

BJ's Act III, LLC

Our consulting agreement for defined services with Act III Management, LLC, an affiliate of BJ’s Act III, LLC, one of our beneficial stockholders, and Act III Holdings, LLC, of which one current member and one former member of the Board of Directors are partners, in the amount of $145,000, expired on December 31, 2022.

Equity Method Investment

During fiscal 2022, we contributed internally-developed software valued at $5.0 million to a company, in which our retired Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board of Directors has a less than 1% interest. We recorded this non-cash contribution, in exchange for a 20% ownership of the company, as an investment within “Equity method investment” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the related gain within “Loss on disposal and impairment of assets, net” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 3, 2023 and September 27, 2022, we recorded a net loss related to the investment of $129,000 and zero, respectively, within “Other income (expense), net,” and accordingly adjusted the investment carrying amount on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
