Merger with Hudson Capital
On December 13, 2021, Fr8App entered into a merger agreement (“Merger”) with Hudson Capital, Inc. (“Hudson Capital”), and ATW Master Fund II, L.P., as the representative of the stockholders of Fr8App (the “Stockholders’ Representative”) by which Hudson Capital acquire all the issued and outstanding securities of the Fr8App and assume Fr8App as its direct, wholly–owned subsidiary.
The Merger closed on February 14, 2022 and a Certificate of Merger was filed with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware, in accordance with the relevant provisions of Delaware Law. Following the Merger, Hudson Capital continued as a British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) business company, and on May 26, 2022 it changed its name to Freight Technologies Inc. (“Fr8Tech”) and its ticker symbol to “FRGT”. Fr8App continues as a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware.
Freight App, Inc., as related to activities in periods prior to the Merger is hereinafter referred to as Fr8App, and Fr8Tech, along with its wholly owned subsidiaries, are hereinafter referred to as the “Company”.
For financial accounting and reporting purposes under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Under this method of accounting, Hudson Capital (legal acquirer) is treated as the acquired entity and Fr8App (legal acquiree) is deemed to have issued stock for the net assets and equity of Hudson Capital, consisting of mainly cash, accompanied simultaneously by recapitalization. The net assets of Hudson Capital are stated at historical cost, and accordingly the equity and net assets of Fr8App have not been adjusted to fair value. Consequently, the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Company are the historical financial statements of Fr8App and Hudson Capital’s assets, liabilities and results of operations are consolidated with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Fr8App beginning on the Merger date. Shares and earnings per share information prior to the Merger have been retroactively restated to reflect the exchange ratio established in the recapitalization.
Management evaluated the guidance contained in Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805) with respect to the identification of the acquirer in the merger and concluded, based on a consideration of the pertinent facts and circumstances as follows: The determination of the acquirer for accounting purposes was primarily based on the facts that, immediately following the Merger: (i) Fr8App’s existing stockholders owned a substantial majority of the voting rights in the combined company, (ii) Fr8App designated a majority of the members of the initial board of directors of the combined company, and (iii) Fr8App’s senior management holds all key positions in the senior management of the combined company.
