The consideration paid for the Business included two option agreements to purchase up to a 20% interest in the Purchaser for a nominal fee. The first option gives the Company the right to purchase a 10% interest in the Purchaser for one dollar at any time between the and five-year anniversary of the transaction, or at any time should a change in control event or public offering occur. The second option gives the Company the right to purchase an additional 10% interest in the Purchaser for one dollar at any point prior to the five-year anniversary of the transaction. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company exercised its options and acquired 5,000,000 shares of the Purchaser's common stock for a nominal fee. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company concluded that the investment in Edible Garden was impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $0.33 million, which is included in "Net Income from Discontinued Operations" for the year ended December 31, 2021.
On May 3, 2022, Edible Garden completed a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. As a result, the Company held 1,000,000 shares in Edible Garden. On May 5, 2022, Edible Garden announced the pricing of its initial public offering of 2,930,000 shares of its common stock and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 2,930,000 shares of common stock for an exercise price of $5.00 per share.
