Sale of Track Group Chile SpA

 

On November 1, 2024, the Company announced the entry into a Stock Purchase Agreement dated October 29, 2024, by and between the Company and Inversiones Santa Hortensia SpA, a stock corporation organized under the laws of Chile (“ISA”) (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to ISA all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Track Group – Chile SpA (“Track Group Chile”) beneficially owned by the Company (the “Shares”).  The purchase price of the Shares was $1.0 million USD, paid at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement. 

 

In connection with the execution of the Agreement, the Company and ISA entered into certain related agreements, including a Track Group Chile Transition Services Agreement, the OTD Sale and Service Agreement and the Trademark License Agreement (together, the “Related Agreements”).  Under the terms of the Related Agreements, the Company will (i) sell and continue to provide Track Group Chile with certain offender tracking devices, and related software and will provide the necessary technical service regarding the products it sells and/or supplies to Track Group Chile; (ii) provide certain transition services to Track Group Chile; and (iii) license to Track Group Chile the right to use the trademark Track Group.

 

As of September 30, 2024, the Company concluded that Track Group Chile met all of the criteria for classification as held for sale. As a result, the Company measured the property as held for sale at its fair value, which was a selling price of $1.0 million and accordingly recorded an impairment of $757,130 in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2024.

 

The Company wrote-off the associated assets and liabilities of this entity as of the date of the sale and recorded a pre-tax loss on sale of subsidiary of $66,483, which has been reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2026. The Company does not view this sale of subsidiary as a strategic shift in its operations and therefore it did not meet the criteria of discontinued operations.
