Tigress

 

Initial Transaction

 

On November 16, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with Tigress, a Delaware limited liability company, and a disabled and woman-owned financial services firm. As part of the agreement, (i) Tigress transferred to the Company limited liability company membership interests representing 24% of the outstanding membership interests in Tigress; and (ii) the Company transferred to Tigress limited liability company membership interests representing 24% of the outstanding membership interests of RISE and 1,449,525 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s common stock was issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Reorganization Agreement

 

On October 18, 2022, the Company entered into a Reorganization Agreement (“Reorganization Agreement”) with Tigress whereby the Company exchanged 7% of the outstanding membership interests in Tigress for all of Tigress’ ownership interest in RISE. As a result of the Reorganization Agreement, the Company’s ownership interest of Tigress decreased from 24% to 17%. Based on the level of the Company’s ownership of Tigress, the Company concluded that it was still able to exercise significant influence over Tigress following the Reorganization Agreement. Therefore, the Company continued to account for this investment under the equity method of accounting through the Company’s sale of its interest in Tigress on July 10, 2023.

 

Share Redemption Agreement

 

On July 10, 2023, the Company entered into a Share Redemption Agreement with Cynthia DiBartolo, CEO of Tigress, pursuant to which the Company repurchased from Ms. DiBartolo one million shares of its common stock held by Ms. DiBartolo in exchange for conveying to Ms. DiBartolo the Company’s 17% interest in Tigress. The Company accounted for the Share Redemption Agreement as a sale of a financial asset in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 860 “Transfers and Servicing” (“Topic 860”). The one million shares of Company common stock that the Company received from Ms. DiBartolo had a fair value of $2,510,000 which was equal to the fair value of the Company’s 17% interest in Tigress sold to Ms. DiBartolo. As such, no gain or loss was recognized as a result of the transaction. Following the transaction, the Company had no remaining interest in Tigress. Refer to Note 12 – Equity Method Investment in Related Party for more detail on these transactions and information that impacted the periods presented.
