| Fleet Servicing Agreement | 11. Fleet Servicing Agreement On November 15, 2024, the Company, via DePalma II, entered into a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with a third party (the “Consultant”). The Consultant has historically operated a taxi fleet as a TLC agent in New York City, primarily earning revenues from leasing operational taxicab vehicles to end-user drivers under daily and weekly arrangements. The Company and the Consultant entered into the Consulting Agreement primarily to assist the Company in establishing and growing the Company’s taxi fleet operations. The Consultant will provide services generally required to operate and grow commercial taxicab fleet operations, including, but not limited to, servicing vehicles, leasing, insurance, and providing the appropriate personnel on behalf of the Company. During the term of the Consulting Agreement, the Company will provide services including financial planning and vendor management in support of the Consultant’s operations of leasing operational taxicab vehicles to end-user drivers. In connection with the Consulting Agreement, DePalma II, as lessee, entered into a lease agreement for taxicab business office and garage space to run its taxicab operations (the “Garage Lease”). The Consulting Agreement and Garage Lease each have an initial term of five years, with the Garage Lease having an additional renewal option available to the Company, as further described in Note 12. The Consulting Agreement can be terminated by the Company upon a material breach by the Consultant, or upon mutual agreement by both parties. In exchange for the Consultant’s services, the Company will pay the Consultant a base fee of $100,000 per month as well as reimburse the Consultant for certain of its operating and other reimbursable expenses. At the end of each month, the Consultant and the Company will reconcile amounts due to each party, which is determined by the total revenues generated by the taxi fleet operations, less the base fee and the reimbursable operating expenses. The Company determined it is acting as the agent from inception of the Consulting Agreement through June 30, 2026 pursuant to ASC 606, as during this period the Consultant continues to be the party obligated to fulfill the performance obligation of leasing an operational taxicab to the end-user driver. As such, the Company will report all revenues generated by the taxi fleet operations and expenses incurred as a result of the Consulting Agreement on a net basis through June 30, 2026 within cost of fleet revenue, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations as further detailed below. Further, the Consultant is entitled to a medallion incentive payment of six (6) NYC taxi medallions per year to be earned on November 15th of each year and payable at the end of the five-year term or upon earlier termination of the Consulting Agreement. In the event the Consulting Agreement is terminated prior to November 15 of a given year, no medallion consideration will be earned by the Consultant for that year, whether on a pro rata basis or otherwise. The Company ratably recognizes to expense the fair value of the medallions to be earned by the Consultant over the term of the Consulting Agreement within cost of fleet revenue, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and recognizes a liability within other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company will remeasure such liability at each reporting period based on the fair value of the medallions earned at each period end, with any changes in fair value being reported within earnings. See Note 4 for additional information. The following table sets forth the components of Consulting Agreement (in thousands):
The Company may make advances for the base consulting fees and other fleet operating expenses prior to period end reconciliations with the Consultant. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, approximately $0.1 million was due to the Consultant, respectively, which is included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. |
