7. OTHER ASSETS

 

On April 19, 2022, the Company signed a non-binding letter of intent with a U.S. privately-held company (the “Target”) providing for the possible purchase by the Company of all of the outstanding shares of the Target from its shareholders in consideration for cash, a note and, under certain circumstances, shares of common stock of a subsidiary of the Company or, if such subsidiary’s shares are not publicly-traded, common stock of the Company. In addition, in the letter of intent, the Company agreed to extend a loan of $1,250 to the Target (the “Initial Loan”), of which, $1,000 was loaned by the Company during the second quarter of 2022 and $250 was loaned in July 2022 pursuant to a 6% Secured Convertible Promissory Note signed by the Target. Under the terms of the Initial Loan, if the Company proceeds with the possible stock purchase of the Target, the principal and accrued interest amount under the Initial Loan will be deducted from the cash consideration paid to the Target’s shareholders at closing. If, however, the Company determines not to proceed with the possible stock purchase of the Target, the Initial Loan will continue to accrue 6% interest per annum, and mature on the earliest of (i) a “Change of Control” (as defined in such note); (ii) the closing of the next investment round by the Target; (iii) an Event of Default (as defined in such note); or (iv) May 1, 2027.

 

On September 22, 2022, the Company signed a letter agreement concerning the extension of the development work that the Target was performing for a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Subsidiary”) under a Master Service Agreement that was executed on April 29, 2022 (the “Letter Agreement”). Under the Letter Agreement, the Company agreed to extend additional loans to the Target to enable it to expand the development work and to expedite the delivery of the development outcomes (the “Product”) to the Subsidiary. In addition, the Company extended to the Target additional funding of $350 for hiring additional developers and an additional $600 to support the Target’s operations until the development work is finalized and accepted by the Company. The total amount of the loans is $950 (the “Development Loan”), which had been loaned to the Target as of December 31, 2022. The Development Loan was made pursuant to a 6% Grid Secured Convertible Promissory Note and an additional letter agreement, dated September 22, 2022, signed by the Target with terms and conditions similar to those of the Initial Loan (the “Grid Note”). The Development Loan has additional terms which provide that the Company may forfeit the Development Loan if the Target timely delivers the Product and the Company fails to close the acquisition of the Target shortly thereafter. If, however, the Target fails to complete the development work on time, the Company will not be obligated to close the acquisition of the Target and the entire Development Loan will be payable to the Company under the same terms of the Initial Loan.

 

As of December 31, 2022, a total of $2,200 of loans made by the Company to the Target were included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
