(“PatentVest”), and has a majority-owned partner company, Invizyne Technologies, Inc. (“Invizyne”). MDB Management is an “administrative” entity whose purpose is to conduct, and to consolidate wherever possible, to consolidate shared services and other resources, for our US-based operations. Public Ventures is a U.S. registered broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), and the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”). Public Ventures is dual clearing, operating as a self-clearing firm and carrying accounts for its customers, and on a fully disclosed basis with a nonrelated FINRA member firm, Interactive Brokers, LLC (“Interactive Brokers”). Interactive Brokers serves as custodian of certain investments maintained by Public Ventures. PatentVest is a wholly-owned subsidiary that performs intellectual property validation services for Public Ventures’, due diligence functions on the intellectual property of clients and prospective client companies, creates an intellectual property roadmap for client companies, and is also a law firm specializing in patent matters, Invizyne was formed with the business objective of taking nature’s building blocks to make molecules of interest, effectively simplifying nature. Invizyne is a biology technology development company that is a majority-owned subsidiary. Invizyne’s technology is a differentiated and unique synthetic biology platform which is designed to enable the scalable exploration of a large number of molecules and properties found in nature. Prior to January 14, 2022, Public Ventures owned the majority of interests in PatentVest and Invizyne. On January 14, 2022, Public Ventures distributed 100% of its equity interests in PatentVest and Invizyne to its members in proportion to their respective interests. On January 15, 2022, Public Ventures filed with the Internal Revenue Service to be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. On January 16, 2022, the members of Public Ventures contributed their entire interests in the equity of Public Ventures, Invizyne and PatentVest to MDB, as result of which MDB became the new parent holding company. There was no effective change in the beneficial ownership of Public Ventures as a result of this transaction. On the same day as part of the reorganization, MDB established a management company subsidiary, MDB Management. These reorganization steps are collectively referred to as the “reorganization”. In connection with the reorganization, 5,000,000 Class B common shares were issued in exchange for the members’ equity. The reorganization was completed between entities that were under common control, and the assets contributed and liabilities assumed are recorded based on their historical carrying values. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements retroactively reflect the financial statements of the Company and Public Ventures on an unaudited condensed consolidated basis for the periods presented. On January 16, 2022, the Company issued 100,000 shares of Class A common shares for all the then non-controlling interests in PatentVest. PatentVest is now wholly owned by the Company. On July 1, 2022, the Company made a cash distribution for $2,723,700 to the former members of Public Ventures in accordance with its private offering memorandum.

On June 15, 2022, the Company completed the second closing of the private placement, consisting of the sale of an additional 11,000 shares of Class A common shares, for gross proceeds of $110,000. Accordingly, the Company received total gross proceeds of $25,289,660 from the sale of 2,528,966 shares of Class A common shares, or $24,746,142 net of $543,518 of offering expenses in conjunction with the private placement, the Company issued warrants to the placement agent to purchase 18,477 shares of Class A common shares, exercisable upon issuance for a period of 10 years at $13.00 per share, for a cash consideration of $0.001/share. The placement agent’s warrants had a fair value of $106,940, as calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and were accounted for as issuance costs that were recorded against paid in capital. The warrants issued are accounted for as equity and recorded under paid in capital.
