NOTE 7 – EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT IN PROGRESSIVE CARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Progressive Care, Inc. (a publicly traded company) is a personalized healthcare services and technology company that provides prescription pharmaceuticals and risk and data management services to healthcare organization and providers. On August 30, 2022 the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Progressive Care, Inc. (“Progressive”), which subsequently closed on September 2, 2022, pursuant to which the Company purchased 3,000 newly issued units of securities from Progressive at a price per unit of $2,000, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,000,000. Each unit consists of one share of Progressive Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) and one warrant to purchase a share of Progressive Series B Preferred Stock (“Warrants”). Each share of Series B Preferred Stock will vote as a class with the common stock of Progressive, and will have 100,000 Progressive votes per share, and each share of Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible into 100,000 shares of Progressive’s common stock. The Warrants are exercisable at a price of $2,000 per share of Series B Preferred Stock have a five-year term, and are immediately exercisable, in whole or in part, and contain cashless exercise provisions. The Company determined the Series B Preferred Stock is in-substance common stock because the Series B Preferred Stock has similar risk and reward characteristics to common stock.

 

Pursuant to the SPA, NextPlat’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Charles M. Fernandez and board member, Rodney Barreto, were appointed to Progressive’s Board of Directors as Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors and Vice Chairman, respectively. On November 11, 2022, the Progressive Care board of directors elected Mr. Fernandez to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of Progressive Care.

 

In addition, on September 2, 2022, NextPlat, entered into a Confidential Purchase and Release Agreement (the “NPA”) with a third-party lender to Progressive pursuant to which NextPlat agreed to purchase $1,000,000 of Progressive’s principal convertible debt from the third-party (the “Note Purchase”) and was issued 9,130,435 of Progressive common stock. NextPlat paid an aggregate of $1,000,000 for the Note Purchase and common stock. The convertible note receivable has a principal balance of $1,213,429, carries a simple interest rate of 5%, is convertible at $0.02 per share of common stock, and matures on August 31, 2027.

 

As a result of the SPA and related transactions, the Company paid an aggregate of $7,000,000 for an economic and voting interest in Progressive of 33.28%. The board seats, combined with the Company’s ownership interest of 33.28% provide the Company with significant influence over Progressive, but not a controlling interest. Since Progressive does not depend on the Company for continuing financial support to maintain operations as of September 30, 2022, the Company has determined that Progressive is not a variable interest entity, and therefore, the Company is not required to determine the primary beneficiary of Progressive for potential consolidation. Based on quoted market prices, the market value of the Company’s ownership interest in Progressive was approximately $11.7 million at September 30, 2022.

 

The Company combined its investment in the Series B Preferred Stock, common stock, warrants, and convertible note receivable into one line item on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as “Equity method investment”. The Company reported its aggregate earnings from its investment as one line item on the condensed consolidated statement of operations as “Equity in net loss of affiliate”.
