Sale of Minority Interest in Alta Mesa Sale of Minority Interest in Alta Mesa
On February 26, 2024, pursuant to the terms of the MT Agreement, Boss Energy acquired a 30% equity interest in a new limited liability company (the “JV Alta Mesa”) that was formed to hold the Alta Mesa Project, in exchange for a payment of $60,000. The Company holds 70% equity in the JV Alta Mesa. Upon the closing of the transaction, the parties entered into an agreement which governs the JV Alta Mesa. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company acts as manager of the JV Alta Mesa and is entitled to a management fee.
Boss also acquired 2,564,102 common shares of the Company for total proceeds to the Company of $10,000. Finally, the parties also entered into a strategic collaboration agreement for the collaboration and research to develop the Company’s prompt fission neutron technology, to be financed equally by each party. The terms of the agreement and the disposal of a 30% interest in the JV Alta Mesa support that control was retained both before and after Boss acquired their interest, and that joint control is not present. As such, Company will continue to consolidate the operations of the JV Alta Mesa with the non-controlling interest being recorded.
The table below is a summary of the accounting for recognition of the initial non-controlling interest on Boss acquiring 30% interest in the JV Alta Mesa. The difference between the percentage of the net assets attributable to Boss and the consideration received is included as part of additional paid in capital.
