NOTE 11 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Stock Purchase Agreement

 

On November 9, 2016, Vivos Holdings, LLC, the former owner of MMG, acquired 100% of MMG through a stock acquisition exchange for a purchase price of $1,750, of which $1,400 was paid at settlement with proceeds from MMG. The Vivos Debtors subsequently entered into a promissory note receivable with MMG for the full stock purchase price. No payment has ever been made against this note and between 2018 to present and there has been $2,503 in additional borrowings.

 

Related Party Notes Receivable

 

The Company has several notes receivable from related parties. Prior to the Merger, Vivos Holdings collaborated on a share swap of Maslow for other Vivos companies with individuals who included, but were not limited to, Dr. Doki, Shirisha Janumpally (“Mrs. Janumpally”), wife of Dr. Doki, Kalyan Pathuri (“Mr. Pathuri”) husband of Silvija Valleru, Igly Trust, and Judos Trust. These parties also have common ownership combinations in a number of other entities [Vivos Holdings, LLC. Vivos Real Estate Holdings, LLC (“VREH”), Vivos Holdings, Inc., Vivos Group, Vivos Acquisitions, LLC., and Federal Systems, LLC], which are collectively referred to as the “Vivos Group.”

 

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a change in estimate based on the advice of MMG counsel, whose interpretation of the award led to MMG’s recalculation of accrued interest at a lower interest rate from August 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024, resulting in an approximate $132 reversal in interest.

 

The table below is a summary of Vivos Group related party notes receivable which as of December 31, 2024 total $5,847.

Debt Settlement Agreements

 

In June 2023, VREH successfully sold the property at 22 Baltimore Road in Rockville, Maryland, relieving Maslow of any liability related to the building, which MMG had been signed as a guarantor for in 2017 without management’s knowledge. In September 2024, the Company received $91 from the bankruptcy proceedings and sale of the building. This amount was applied toward reducing the Vivos Group’s outstanding debt to MMG (see table above). The SWC matter was also resolved with MMG’s portion being $10.

 

Related Party Costs

 

RLBY’s Other Income and Expenses totaling approximately $379 in legal fees and settlements included $143 for receivership related costs for recovery of the arbitration award and $115 for legal fees and settlement of the SWC matter (see Debt Settlement Agreement above). These $258 in costs were related to the Vivos Group.

 

Related Party Relationships

 

On October 29, 2019, prior to the Merger, Naveen Doki and Silvija Valleru became beneficial owners of Company Common Stock, equal to approximately 69% and 17% of the total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to the Merger, respectively.

 

At the present time, the Vivos Group shall not be entitled to vote any of their shares in Reliability at any annual or special meetings of the shareholders. A Receiver is empowered to recover the awards by seizing shares of the Company held by Dr. Naveen Doki and his affiliates, the Vivos Group. Once the judgments in favor of Reliability are satisfied, the restrictions on the rights of the Vivos Group shareholders imposed by the Award shall be lifted.

 

In the summer of 2019, prior to the Merger, MMG entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with several parties including CEO Nick Tsahalis (“Mr. Tsahalis”), CFO Mark Speck (“Mr. Speck”), both officers and then directors of Maslow and Hawkeye Enterprises (“Hawkeye”) a company owned and controlled by Mr. Speck. The convertible promissory notes signed by Mr. Tsahalis and Mr. Speck afforded them both common shares of Reliability based on the initial principal amounts of $100 each. Mr. Tsahalis, Mr. Speck, and Hawkeye also received Warrants to purchase 16,323, 81,616, and 81,616 shares, respectively, (on a post-Merger basis) of the Company Common Stock. The term “warrant” herein refers to warrants issued by MMG and assumed by the Company as a result of the Merger. The terms of all Warrants are the same other than as to the number of shares covered thereby. The Warrant may be exercised at any time or from time to time during the period commencing on first business day following the completion of the Qualified Financing (as defined below) and expiring on the fifth annual anniversary thereof (the “Exercise Period”). For purposes herein, a “Qualified Financing” means the issuance by the Company, other than certain excluded issuances of shares of Common Stock, in one transaction or series of related transactions, which transaction(s) result in aggregate gross proceeds actually received by the Company of at least $5,000. The exercise price per full share of the Company Common Stock shall be 120% of the average sale price of the Company Common Stock across all transactions constituting a part of the Qualified Financing. Convertible note warrants were not valued and included as liability on balance sheet because of uncertainty around their pricing, value, and low probability at this juncture in receiving the $5,000 trigger. The five-year eligibility for all holders of these Warrants expired in October 2024.
