●On September 16, 2022, the Company’s parent, Snail, Inc., filed a Form S-1 Registration Statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with its IPO. On November 9, 2022, effective with the IPO pricing, the Company’s existing shareholders transferred their 500,000 shares of common stock of the Company to Snail, Inc. in exchange for 6,251,420 shares of Class A common stock and 28,748,580 shares of Class B common stock of Snail, Inc., and Snail, Inc. became the parent of Snail Games USA Inc. On November 9, 2022 the Company’s parent, Snail, Inc., priced its IPO, and on November 10, 2022, Snail, Inc.’s Class A common stock began trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market exchange under the ticker symbol SNAL. In the IPO, Snail, Inc. issued 3,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and net proceeds from the IPO were distributed to the Company in November 2022 in the amount of approximately $12.0 million. In connection with the IPO, $1.0 million of IPO proceeds were remitted to an escrow account which is held to provide a source of funding for certain indemnification obligations of Snail, Inc. to the underwriters. The amount in escrow will be reported as restricted cash for 12 months from the date of the offering, at which time the restrictions will be removed and the balance will be reverted to unrestricted cash. In the IPO, Snail, Inc. also issued to the underwriters warrants to purchase 120,000 shares of Class A common stock at 125% of the IPO price, or $6.25 per share. The warrants are exercisable for three years from the effective date of registration. The underwriters were also granted an option to purchase up to an additional 450,000 shares of Class A common stock that expires on December 19, 2022, and the underwriters have not exercised the option.
●The Company’s 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”) became effective upon the consummation of the IPO. The 2022 Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors. The maximum number of shares available for issuance under the 2022 Plan is 5,718,000. The 2022 Plan permits the grant of restricted stock units (“RSUs”). RSU grants of shares of Class A common stock are subject to certain vesting conditions and restrictions specified in the applicable RSU award agreement. Any employee, non-employee director or consultant is eligible to receive equity-based compensation in the form of RSUs pursuant to the 2022 Plan. In November 2022, employees were granted 1,200,960 RSUs at a value of $6.0 million and non-employee directors were granted 24,000 RSUs at a value of $0.1 million.
●In November 2022, the Company received a $2.5 million refund of prior year California income tax relating to the Company’s implementation of California’s adopted market-based sourcing rules in income years open for refund. Subsequent years’ returns have been filed using the same methodology on which these refund claims were granted following California Franchise Tax Board review.
●On November 10, 2022, the Snail, Inc. board of directors approved and established a new share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”) to reacquire shares of Snail, Inc.’s Class A common stock. The maximum aggregate value of the shares repurchased shall not exceed $5.0 million, and there is no fixed expiration date on the Share Repurchase Program. The exact number of shares of Class A common stock and timing and method of the repurchase are at the discretion of the CEO, CFO and Treasurer. As of December 13, 2022, 1,090,877 shares of Class A common stock were repurchased pursuant to the Share Repurchase Program and the average price paid per share was $2.98.
●In December 2022, the Company extended the maturity of its term loan from January 26, 2023 to January 26, 2024 for the remaining balance outstanding at the time of the extension, which was $5.8 million. The rate has also been amended to the higher of the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate less 0.25% or 5.75%. A modification fee of $9,375 was paid in connection with the maturity extension.
●In December 2022, the Company amended its exclusive license agreement relating to ARK 1. The license fee has been restructured so that the Company will pay 45% of total revenue of ARK 1 as a royalty instead of the $1.5 million monthly fee plus 25% of the total ARK 1 revenue once the sequel, ARK 2, is publicly released.
