Note 3 - Deferred Consideration

 

On November 11, 2022, the Company entered into the first Amendment to the Merger Agreement with Rockview Digital Solutions, Inc. (“Abaca”) and other parties. The Merger Agreement included a $30 million payment through a mix of cash and stock, including $9 million in cash over three annual installments and 105,000 Common Stock (“Common Stock”), alongside deferred stock considerations based on a 10-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) formula.

 

A Second Amendment to the Merger Agreement, dated October 26, 2023, introduced deferred stock consideration of 291,791 shares of Common Stock at a recalculated value of $40.00 per share. No changes were made to the cash payments. Additionally, 250,000 stock warrants at $40.00 per share were issued, and a third-anniversary consideration payment of $1.5 million due October 5, 2025 was introduced, payable in cash or Common Stock with a floor value of $40.00 per share, at the Company’s discretion. The Company issued 37,517 unregistered shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash, computed using the floor value on October 3, 2025. On October 21, 2025, the Company filed Form S-1 to register the 37,517 shares of Common Stock issued on October 3, 2025 and the 250,000 common shares underlying the Abaca warrants to purchase Common Stock with an exercise price of $40.00 per share.

 

On November 21, 2024, the Company deposited the $3.0 million second annual cash payment into the registry of the Denver County, Colorado District Court pending resolution of a dispute among former Abaca shareholders regarding the party authorized to receive the payment. See Note 20 Commitments and Contingencies.

 

The adjustments and changes to deferred consideration have been valued and recorded according to ASC 815 in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
