1.01 – Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

See discussion under Item 2.01 belo

2.01 – Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On July 28, 2017, the Company signed a Separation Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Ms. Joy Gillespie pursuant to which Ms. Gillespie exchanged her 445,000,000 shares of common stock of SoOum Corp. for 100% of the ownership interests of Western Grade, LLC (“WG”), which were owned by SoOum Corp.  In effect, this transaction reverses the prior acquisition of Western Grade by SoOum Corp., which occurred on October 06, 2016.  The Separation Agreement entered between the parties contains other terms common to a transaction of this nature.  Accordingly, the Company's financial statements will not include the operations of WG from effective date.

Due to the Agreement, the Company will no longer report WG as the Company's "Predecessor" and all historical financial information of the Company will be that of SoOum Corporation.  WG was only consolidated with SoOum Corporation's financial statements for the period from October 6, 2017 (date of acquisition) through December 31, 2016.   The Proforma financial information included in Item 9.01 below discloses the effects as if the acquisition of WG was not included in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, nine months ended September 30, 2016 and three months ended December 31, 2016

Pro Forma Financial Statements

Year Ended December 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

     

As noted in the Company's Form 10-K, WG was reported in the Company's financial statements as the "Predecessor" entity. In accordance with such accounting treatment, WG represented all historical operations prior to the acquisition in October 2016. Accordingly, the purpose of the following proforma financial statements is to remove WG's financial information and add the historical financial information of SoOum Corp. and to disclose the effect of the Agreement as if WG was not treated as the Predecessor.
