ATTACHMENT IV-3

 

As previously reported in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on December 17, 2021, effective on December 15, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (together with a Settlement and Release Agreement) to divest its ownership of Driven Deliveries, Inc. and its related subsidiaries. In connection with the transaction, the Company cancelled and retired approximately 11,500,000 shares of Company Common Stock and recorded debt cancellation in the amount of approximately $7.1 million and an increase in working capital of approximately $4.1 million (collectively, the “Transaction”). As a result of the Transaction, the Company will record a significant loss from discontinued operations (which cannot be estimated at this time) in the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021. This loss will be reflected in the Company’s financial statements included in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, which is the subject of this Notification of Late Filing. As of the date of this filing, the Company is not able to report with particularity a reasonable estimate of the results for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021.
