Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Related Party Transactions | NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS CIC Limited The Company provides services to and owns approximately 14.2% of the equity interests in CIC Limited (“CIC”), a deep-sea mineral exploration company. The Company’s lead director, Mark B. Justh, made an investment into CIC’s parent company and indirectly owns approximately 11.9% of CIC. We believe Mr. Justh’s indirect ownership in CIC does not impair his independence under applicable rules, and Odyssey’s board of directors has formed a special committee of disinterested directors to address any matters relating to CIC. The Company is providing services to CIC in accordance with the terms of a Services Agreement pursuant to which Odyssey provides certain back-office services to CIC in exchange for a recurring monthly fee, as well as other deep-sea mineral related services on a cost-plus profit basis and is compensated for these services with a combination of cash and equity in CIC. We invoiced CIC for technical services a total of $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which are recorded in Marine services in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company is paid in equity for its services. In addition, the Company has the option to accept equity in lieu of cash for payment of cash expenditures due from CIC. The Company has not opted to accept equity from CIC in lieu of cash for its cash expenditures. Ocean Minerals, LLC The Company provides services to Ocean Minerals, LLC (“OML”), a deep-sea mineral exploration company in which we hold approximately 7.0% of the equity interests (see Note 6, Investment in Unconsolidated Entities). The Company provides these services to OML pursuant to the Contribution Agreement (defined below) that provides for deep-sea mineral related services on a cost-plus profit basis and will be compensated for these services with equity in OML. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we invoiced OML for technical services a total of $22,500 and $69,898, respectively, recorded in Marine services in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Oceanica and ExO Odyssey and its subsidiary, Oceanica Marine Operations S.R.L. (“OMO”), hold three notes (the “Oceanica-ExO Notes”) issued and/or guaranteed by our majority-owned subsidiaries (ExO and Oceanica) in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $23.0 million, which was advanced to ExO and Oceanica to fund working capital, exploration and legal expenses. In addition, Odyssey provides management and administrative services to ExO and funds ExO’s ongoing administrative expenses pursuant to a services agreement in exchange for a recurring monthly fee and reimbursement of funded amounts. The Oceanica-ExO Notes and outstanding receivables under the management and services agreement accrue interest at 18% per annum. Certain of Odyssey’s former and current directors and officers are also directors or officers of ExO and Oceanica. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the aggregate outstanding amount, including accrued interest, of the Oceanica-ExO Notes was approximately $130.5 million and $124.9 million, respectively, and the aggregate receivable pursuant to the management and services agreement was approximately $1.8 million and $1.5 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
