CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Some of the statements contained in this annual report may constitute “forward-looking statements” for purposes of the federal securities laws. Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

 

The forward-looking statements contained in this annual report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following risks, uncertainties and other factors:

 

  the implementation of our strategic plans for our business;
  our financial performance;
  fluctuations in the number of influencers that we contract with and their number of social media followers;
  developments relating to our competitors and our industry, including the impact of government regulation;
  estimates of our expenses, future revenues, capital requirements and our needs for additional financing; and
  other risks and uncertainties, including those listed under the captions “Business,” “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

 

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

PART I

 

Item 1. Business.

 

In this Annual Report on Form 10-K, unless the context indicates otherwise, “Clubhouse Media,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours” or “us” refer to Clubhouse Media Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries, including West of Hudson Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.

 

Business Overview

 

We are a social media firm. Our Company has recently ceased its operations in the agency and brand deal business to instead focus our efforts and resources on growing our wholly owned, creator monetization platform, HoneyDrip.com.

 

Through our subsidiary, West of Hudson Group, Inc. (“WOHG”), we currently generate revenues primarily through WOH Brands, LLC (“WOH Brands”), a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of WOHG, which operates Honeydrip.com, a new digital platform with a focus on the empowerment of creators. The site allows creators to connect with fans and sell exclusive photo and video content. The Company previously generated revenue through The Reiman Agency, a 51% majority held joint venture which brokered brand promotional deals between brands and talent, but has since discontinued these operations.

 

WOHG is either 100% owner and sole member and manager of each of these entities, or a majority controlling shareholder pursuant to each of the limited liability company agreements and bylaws, where applicable, that govern these entities, and has complete and exclusive discretion in the management and control of the affairs and business of WOH Brands, Doiyen, and The Reiman Agency. Magiclytics possesses all powers necessary to carry out the purposes and business of these entities. WOHG is entitled to the receipt of all income (and/or losses) that these entities generate.

 

In addition to the above, WOHG is the 100% owner of two other limited liability companies – Clubhouse Studios, LLC, which holds most of our intellectual property, and DAK Brands, LLC, each incorporated in the State of Delaware on May 13, 2020. However, each of these entities has minimal or no operations, and are not intended to have any material operations in the near future.

 

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, Clubhouse Media generated revenues of $1,495,145 and reported a net loss of $2,369,920 and negative cash flow from operating activities of $581,140. As noted in the consolidated financial statements of Clubhouse Media, as of December 31, 2023, Clubhouse Media had an accumulated deficit of $35,184,891. There is substantial doubt regarding the ability of Clubhouse Media to continue as a going concern as a result of its historical recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations as well as its dependence on private equity and financings. See “Risk Factors—Clubhouse Media has a history of operating losses and its management has concluded that factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern and the auditor of Clubhouse Media has included explanatory paragraphs relating to its ability to continue as a going concern in its audit report for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.”

“The Clubhouse” network previously consisted of physical locations. In 2022, we determined to focus exclusively on our digital agency and creator monetization platform. Accordingly, we closed our physical Clubhouses in 2021. There are numerous “Clubhouse” accounts owned by The Clubhouse, with a following across Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, and TikTok. These accounts are directly held by us (as opposed to the Clubhouse team of influencers) and therefore we have direct access to the followers of these accounts, which we consider to be our followers.

Content Creation

 

As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, WOH Brands’ activities and operations have been limited to assisting in the development and management of the wholly owned creator content monetization platform, Honeydrip.com.

 

Planned Operations

 

In September 2021, the Company launched its subscription-based site HoneyDrip.com, a new digital platform designed and owned by Clubhouse Media Group with a focus on the empowerment of creators. The site allows creators to connect with fans and sell exclusive photo and video content. We plan to continue to expand the number of users and creators on the site and further enhance the platform. Our goal is to grow and develop the site into a social media platform, powered by AI.

 

Competition

 

For our platform, Honeydrip.com, we directly compete with OnlyFans, an industry leader. HoneyDrip differentiates itself from OnlyFans by being an Invite only site, our site is female empowering, and we offer an inhouse account management service for creators.

 

In the future, we expect to compete with other social media monetization platforms and with technology and software companies in the social media space.

 

We seek to effectively compete with such competitors by out-scaling our competition, focusing on in-house business infrastructure and providing superior support and management services for our HoneyDrip creators. In addition, we believe the experience of our management team provides us with a significant advantage in the social media business, as participants in this space have traditionally lacked the business experience that our executive management team possesses, which we intend to use to our advantage. Notwithstanding, we may not be able to effectively compete with such competitors.

 

Customers

 

Our customers include everyday individuals and fans of social media creators. We recruit professional creators with large followings who, in turn, drive traffic to the site.

Organizational History

 

Clubhouse Media Group, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 19, 2006 with the name Tongji Healthcare Group, Inc. by Nanning Tongji Hospital, Inc. (“NTH”). On the same day, Tongji, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, was incorporated in the State of Colorado. Tongji, Inc. was later dissolved on March 25, 2011.

 

NTH was established in Nanning in the province of Guangxi of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”) by the Nanning Tongji Medical Co. Ltd. and an individual on October 30, 2003.

 

NTH was a designated hospital for medical insurance in the city of Nanning and Guangxi province with 105 licensed beds. NTH specializes in the areas of internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, emergency medicine, ophthalmology, medical cosmetology, rehabilitation, dermatology, otolaryngology, traditional Chinese medicine, medical imaging, anesthesia, acupuncture, physical therapy, health examination, and prevention.

 

On December 27, 2006, Tongji, Inc. acquired 100% of the equity of NTH pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which NTH became a wholly owned subsidiary of Tongji Inc. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, we issued 15,652,557 shares of common stock to the shareholders of NTH in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of NTH. The acquisition of NTH was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting since the shareholders of NTH obtained control of the entity. Accordingly, the reorganization of the two companies was recorded as a recapitalization of NTH, with NTH being treated as the continuing operating entity. The Company, through NTH, thereafter operated the hospital, until the Company eventually sold NTH, as described below.

 

Effective December 31, 2017, under the terms of a Bill of Sale, we agreed to sell, transfer convey and assign forever all of its rights, title and interest in its equity ownership interest in its subsidiary, NTH, to Placer Petroleum Co., LLC, an Arizona limited liability company. Pursuant to the Bill of Sale, consideration for this sale, transfer conveyance and assignment is Placer Petroleum Co, LLC assuming all assets and liabilities of NTH as of December 31, 2017. As a result of the Bill of Sale, the related assets and liabilities of Nanning Tongji Hospital, Inc. was reported as discontinued operations effective December 31, 2017. Thereafter, the Company had minimal operations.

 

On May 20, 2019, pursuant to Case Number A-19-793075-P, Nevada’s 8th Judicial District, Business Court entered and Order Granting Application of Joseph Arcaro as Custodian of Tongji Healthcare Group, Inc. pursuant to NRS 78.347(1)(b), pursuant to which Joseph Arcaro was appointed custodian of the Company and given authority to reinstate the Company with the State of Nevada under NRS 78.347. On May 23, 2019, Joseph Arcaro filed a Certificate of Reinstatement of the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. In addition, on May 23, 2019, Joseph Arcaro filed an Annual List of the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, designating himself as President, Secretary, Treasurer and Director of the Company for the filing period of 2017 to 2019. On November 13, 2019, Mr. Arcaro filed a Motion to Terminate Custodianship of Tongji Healthcare Group, Inc. pursuant to NRS 78.650(4) with the District Court in Clark County Nevada. On December 6, 2019, the court granted Mr. Arcaro’s motion, and the custodianship was terminated.

 

Effective May 29, 2020, Joseph Arcaro, our then Chief Executive Officer, President, Secretary, Treasurer and sole director and the beneficial owner, through his ownership of Algonquin Partners Inc. (“Algonquin”), of 65% of the Company’s common stock, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) by and among West of Hudson Group, Inc., the Company, Algonquin, and Mr. Arcaro. Pursuant to the terms of the SPA, WOHG agreed to purchase, and Algonquin agreed to sell, 30,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for payment by WOHG to Algonquin of $240,000 (the “Stock Purchase”). Thereafter, WOHG distributed the 30,000,000 shares of the Company among the shareholders of WOHG. The Stock Purchase closed on June 18, 2020, resulting in a change of control of the Company.

 

On July 7, 2020, we amended our articles of incorporation whereby we increased our authorized capital stock to 550,000,000 shares, comprised of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001.

 

Share Exchange Agreement – West of Hudson Group, Inc.

 

On August 11, 2020, we entered into the Share Exchange Agreement with (i) WOHG; (ii) each of the WOHG Shareholders; and (iii) Mr. Ben-Yohanan as the Shareholders’ Representative.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the parties agreed that the Company would acquire 100% of WOHG’s issued and outstanding capital stock, in exchange for the issuance to the WOHG Shareholders of a number of shares of the Company’s common stock to be determined at the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement.

 

On November 12, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State of Nevada to designate one share of the preferred stock of the Company as the Series X Preferred Stock of the Company.

 

The closing of the Share Exchange Agreement occurred on November 12, 2020. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired 200 shares WOHG’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, representing 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of WOHG, in exchange for the issuance to the WOHG Shareholders of 46,811,195 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, WOHG became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

In addition, on November 20, 2020, pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement and subsequent Waiver, the Company issued and sold to Amir Ben-Yohanan one share of Series X Preferred Stock, at a purchase price of $1.00. This one share of Series X Preferred Stock has a number of votes equal to all of the other votes entitled to be cast on any matter by any other shares or securities of the Company plus one, but will not have any economic or other interest in the Company.

 

The Share Exchange is intended to be a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Share Exchange Agreement is intended to be a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of the regulations promulgated under Section 368(a) of the Code and for the purpose of qualifying as a tax-free transaction for federal income tax purposes.

 

On November 12, 2020, pursuant to the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, we acquired WOHG, and WOHG thereafter became our wholly owned subsidiary, and the business of WOHG became the business of the Company going forward.

On November 2, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of Nevada in order to amend its Articles of Incorporation to change the Company’s name from “Tongji Healthcare Group, Inc.” to “Clubhouse Media Group, Inc.”

 

On January 20, 2021, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) approved our name change from “Tongji Healthcare Group, Inc.” to “Clubhouse Media Group, Inc.” and approved the change the symbol of our common stock from “TONJ” to “CMGR.”

 

Share Exchange Agreement - Magiclytics

 

On February 3, 2021, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Share Exchange Agreement (the “A&R Share Exchange Agreement”) by and between the Company, Magiclytics, each of the shareholders of Magiclytics (the “Magiclytics Shareholders”) and Christian Young, as the representative of the Magiclytics Shareholders (the “Shareholders’ Representative”). Christian Young is the President, Secretary, and a Director of the Company, and is also an officer, director, and significant shareholder of Magiclytics.

 

The A&R Share Exchange Agreement amended and restated in its entirety the previous Share Exchange Agreement between the same parties, which was executed on December 3, 2020. The A&R Share Exchange Agreement replaces the Share Exchange Agreement in its entirety.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the A&R Share Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire from the Magiclytics Shareholders, who hold an aggregate of 5,000 shares of Magiclytics’ common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Magiclytics Shares”), all 5,000 Magiclytics Shares, representing 100% of Magiclytics’ issued and outstanding capital stock, in exchange for the issuance by the Company to the Magiclytics Shareholders of the 734,689 shares of the Company’s common stock based on a $3,500,000 valuation of Magiclytics, to be apportioned between the Magiclytics Shareholders pro rata based on their respective ownership of Magiclytics Shares.

 

On February 3, 2021 (the “Magiclytics Closing Date”), the parties closed on the transactions contemplated in the A&R Share Exchange Agreement, and the Company agreed to issue 734,689 shares of Company common stock to the Magiclytics Shareholders in exchange for all 5,000 Magiclytics Shares (the “Magiclytics Closing”). On February 3, 2021, pursuant to the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, we acquired Magiclytics, and Magiclytics thereafter became our wholly owned subsidiary.

 

At the Magiclytics Closing, we agreed to issue to Christian Young and Wilfred Man each 330,610 shares of Company Common Stock, representing 45% each, or 90% in total of the Company common stock which we agreed to issue to the Magiclytics Shareholders at the Magiclytics Closing.

 

The number of shares of the Company common stock issued at the Magiclytics Closing was based on the fair market value of the Company common stock as initially agreed to by the parties, which is $4.76 per share (the “Base Value”). The fair market value was determined based on the volume weighted average closing price of the Company common stock for the twenty (20) trading day period immediately prior to the Magiclytics Closing. In the event that the initial public offering price per share of the Company common stock in this offering pursuant to Regulation A   is less than the Base Value, then within three (3) business days of the qualification by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of the Offering Statement forming part of this Prospectus, the Company will issue to the Magiclytics Shareholders a number of additional shares of Company common stock equal to:

 

  1. $3,500,000 divided by the initial public offering price per share of the Company common stock in this offering pursuant to Regulation A, minus $734,689

 

8
 

 

The resulting number of shares of the Company common stock pursuant to the above calculation will be referred to as the “Additional Shares”, and such Additional Shares will also be issued to the Magiclytics Shareholders pro rata based on their respective ownership of Magiclytics Shares.

 

In addition to the exchange of shares between the Magiclytics Shareholders and the Company described above, on the Magiclytics Closing Date the parties took a number of other actions in connection with the Magiclytics Closing pursuant to the terms of the A&R Share Exchange Agreement:

 

  (i) The Board of Directors of Magiclytics (the “Magiclytics Board”) expanded the size of the Magiclytics Board to 3 persons and named Simon Yu, a current officer and director of the Company as a director of the Magiclytics Board.
     
  (ii) The Magiclytics Board named Wilfred Man as the Chief Executive Officer of Magiclytics, Christian Young as the President and Secretary of the Magiclytics and Simon Yu as the Chief Operating Officer of Magiclytics.

 

Further, immediately following the Magiclytics Closing, the Company assumed responsibility for all outstanding accounts payables and operating costs to continue operations of Magiclytics including but not limited to payment to any of its vendors, lenders, or other parties which Magiclytics engages in the regular course of its business.

 

Recent Developments

 

Clawback Policy

 

On March 5, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a Compensation Recovery Policy (the “Policy”). The Policy is intended to further the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy and to comply with applicable law by providing for the reasonably prompt recovery of certain incentive-based compensation received by executive officers in the event of an accounting restatement. The Policy is intended to comply with, and will be interpreted in a manner consistent with, Section 10D of the Exchange Act, with Exchange Act Rule 10D-1 and with the Nasdaq listing standards.

 

Pursuant to the Policy, if the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance by the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period (an “Accounting Restatement”), then the Compensation Committee must determine the Excess Compensation (as hereinafter defined), if any, that must be recovered. The Company’s obligation to recover Excess Compensation is not dependent on if or when the restated financial statements are filed. The Company must recover Excess Compensation reasonably promptly and executive officers are required to repay Excess Compensation to the Company, subject to the terms of the Policy.

 

9
 

 

The Policy applies to certain incentive-based compensation that is received on or after March 5, 2024, during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the Accounting Restatement determination date, as provided in the Policy (the “Covered Period”) while the Company has a class of securities listed on a national securities exchange. The incentive-based compensation is considered “Clawback Eligible Incentive-Based Compensation” if the incentive-based compensation is received by a person after such person became an executive officer and the person served as an executive officer at any time during the performance period to which the incentive-based compensation applies. The “Excess Compensation” that is subject to recovery under the Policy is the amount of Clawback Eligible Incentive-Based Compensation that exceeds the amount of Clawback Eligible Incentive-Based Compensation that otherwise would have been received had such Clawback Eligible Incentive-Based Compensation been determined based on the restated amounts (this is referred to in the listing standards as “erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation”).

The Note provides Investor with conversion rights to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the Note at any time, from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of the Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date; and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount (as defined in the Note). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor shall not be entitled to a conversion under the Note upon which the sum of (1) the number of shares of common stock, $0.000001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) beneficially owned by the Investor and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Note or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Company subject to a similar limitation on conversion or exercise) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion would result in beneficial ownership by the Investor and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

The conversion price is equal to the lesser of the variable conversion price and fixed conversion price which is $1.00. The variable conversion price is defined in the Note as 75% multiplied by the lowest VWAP for shares of Common Stock during the 20 trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date.

 

Since the conversion price is based on the lesser of (i) $1.00 or (ii) 75% of the VWAP during the 20-trading day period immediately prior to the option conversion date, the Company has determined that the conversion feature is considered a derivative liability for the Company, which is detailed in Note 10.

 

The $5,375 original issue discounts and the conversion features were recorded as debt discounts and amortized over the term of the note. Therefore, the total debt discount at the inception date of this convertible promissory note were recorded at $61,812.

 

On February 17, 2023, the Company entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement by and between the Company and 1800 Diagonal Lending LLC. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, in full and final settlement of the Diagonal lending LLC notes, the Company agreed to (i) pay to the Lender $105,000; and (ii) issue to the Lender shares of the Company’s common stock with respect to the Lender’s notice of conversion dated February 16, 2023 relating to a partial conversion of Note #1 (with a then-current balance of $45,479).

 

As a result, as of February 17, 2023, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Debt was settled and all the 1800 Diagonal Lending LLC notes were terminated.

 

The balance of the Diagonal note as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, was $0 and $61,813, respectively.

 

Alden Reiman Agreement

 

On July 31, 2022, the Company entered into a joint venture deal memo with Alden Henri Reiman (“Mr. Reiman”) for the purpose of [ ] pursuant to which the parties agreed to the creation of a Nevada limited liability company, The Reiman Agency LLC (the “Agency”), of which the Company owns 51% of the membership units, and Mr. Reiman owns 49% of the membership units. The Company consolidated this joint venture since it owned 51% and has control in this entity.

 

On December 14, 2023, the Board of Directors sent notice to Alden Henri Reiman (“Mr. Reiman”) and the Agency, that effective December 1, 2023, that the Company had terminated both Mr. Reiman’s employment as President of the Agency and terminated its joint venture relationship with the Agency, a majority owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

As of December 1, 2023, the Company has terminated Mr. Reiman’s employment agreement. The non-controlling interest for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, was $(70,275)  and $385,166, respectively.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Company has moved away from brand deals and considered the controlling interest as discontinued operations on the balance sheets and statement of operations until all outstanding brand deals are completed.

 

Call Agreements

 

On March 12, 2021, Harris Tulchin, a Director of the Company, entered into separate “Call Agreements” with each of Amir Ben-Yohanan, a Director and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Christian Young, a former Director and the former President and Secretary of the Company. The call agreements allowed Harris Tulchin to acquire certain shares from Amir Ben-Yohanan and Christian Young at any time before November 13, 2025.

Employment Agreements

 

Harris Tulchin Employment Agreement

 

On April 9, 2021, the Company entered into employment agreement with Harris Tulchin. Pursuant to this employment agreement, Mr. Tulchin agreed to serve as Chief Operating Officer of the Company, reporting to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (or other person determined by the Chief Executive Officer or the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”)). As compensation for Mr. Tulchin’s services, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Tulchin an annual base salary of $380,000 (the “Base Salary”) comprised of two parts a “Cash Portion”, and an “Optional Portion”. The Cash Portion is a monthly cash payment of $15,000 – or $180,000 on an annual basis. The remaining $200,000 per year – the Optional Portion – is payable as follows:

 

  If the Company’s Board determines that the Company has sufficient cash on hand to pay all or a portion of the Optional Portion in cash, such amount shall be paid in cash.
  If the Board determines that the Company does not have sufficient cash on hand to pay all of the Optional Portion in cash, then the portion of the Optional Portion which the Board determines that the Company has sufficient cash on hand to pay in cash will be paid in cash, and the remainder (the “Deferred Portion”) will either be paid at a later date, when the Board determines that the Company has sufficient cash on hand to enable the Company to pay the Deferred Portion; or will not be paid in cash – and instead, the Company will issue shares of Company Common Stock equal to (A) the Deferred Portion, divided by (B) the VWAP (as defined in the employment agreement) as of the date of issuance of such shares of Company Common Stock.

 

In addition, pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Tulchin is entitled to be paid discretionary annual bonuses as determined by the Board (currently intended to be a maximum of $250,000 per year), and is also entitled to receive fringe benefits, such as, but not limited to, reimbursement for reimbursement for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket business, entertainment and travel, vacation days, and certain insurances.

 

The initial term of the employment agreement was for one year from the effective date of the agreement (i.e. April 9, 2022), and was terminated upon expiration, April 9, 2022.

 

Amir Ben-Yohanan Employment Agreement

 

On April 1, 2022, Clubhouse Media Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an employment agreement with Amir Ben-Yohanan, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, effective April 11, 2022. The terms of the employment agreement are substantially similar to the terms of Mr. Ben-Yohanan’s prior employment agreement with the Company. Accordingly, pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Ben-Yohanan will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, reporting to the Board of Directors (the “Board”). As compensation for Mr. Ben-Yohanan’s services, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Mr. Ben-Yohanan an annual base salary of $400,000 (the “Base Salary”) comprised of two parts a “Cash Portion”, and an “Optional Portion”. The Cash Portion is a monthly cash payment of $15,000. The remaining $220,000 per year – the Optional Portion – is payable as follows:

 

  (i) If the Company’s Board determines that the Company has sufficient cash on hand to pay all or a portion of the Optional Portion in cash, such amount shall be paid in cash.
  (ii) If the Board determines that the Company does not have sufficient cash on hand to pay all of the Optional Portion in cash, then the portion of the Optional Portion which the Board determines that the Company has sufficient cash on hand to pay in cash will be paid in cash, and the remainder (the “Deferred Portion”) will either:

 

  a. be paid at a later date, when the Board determines that the Company has sufficient cash on hand to enable the Company to pay the Deferred Portion; or
  b. will not be paid in cash – and instead, the Company will issue shares of Company Common Stock equal to (A) the Deferred Portion, divided by (B) the VWAP (as defined in the employment agreement) as of the date of issuance of such shares of Company Common Stock.

 

21
 

 

In addition, pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Ben-Yohanan is entitled to be paid discretionary annual bonuses as determined by the Board, and is also entitled to receive fringe benefits, such as, but not limited to, reimbursement for reimbursement for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket business, entertainment and travel, vacation days, and certain insurances.

 

The initial term of the employment agreement is one year from April 11, 2022, unless earlier terminated. Thereafter, the term is automatically extended on an annual basis for terms of one year each, unless either the Company or Mr. Ben-Yohanan provides notice to the other party of their desire to not so renew the term of the agreement (as applicable) at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the then-current term.

 

Mr. Ben-Yohanan’s employment with the Company shall be “at will,” meaning that either Mr. Ben-Yohanan or the Company may terminate Mr. Ben-Yohanan’s employment at any time and for any reason, subject to certain terms and conditions.

 

The Company may terminate the employment agreement at any time, with or without “cause”, as defined in the employment agreement and Mr. Ben-Yohanan may terminate the employment agreement at any time, with or without “good reason”, as defined in the employment agreement. If the Company terminates the employment agreement for cause or Mr. Ben-Yohanan terminates the employment agreement without good reason, Mr. Ben-Yohanan will be entitled to be paid any unpaid salary owed or accrued, including the issuance of any shares of Company Common Stock owed or accrued (as compensation) as of the termination date. In the event that there was any Deferred Portion which had been agreed to be paid in cash, such Deferred Portion instead will be paid in shares of Company Common Stock as though such amount had been agreed to be paid via the issuance of shares of Company Common Stock. Mr. Ben-Yohanan will also be entitled to payment for any unreimbursed expenses as of the termination date. However, any unvested portion of any equity granted to Mr. Ben-Yohanan will be immediately forfeited as of the termination date.

 

If the Company terminates the employment agreement without cause or Mr. Ben-Yohanan terminates the employment agreement with good reason, Mr. Ben-Yohanan will be entitled to receive the same compensation (unpaid accrued salary and unreimbursed expenses), and, in addition, will be entitled to receive, in one lump sum, the remainder of Mr. Ben-Yohanan’s annual salary that has not yet been paid as of the date of the termination – either in cash, or in shares of Company common stock. Further, any equity grant already made to Mr. Ben-Yohanan shall, to the extent not already vested, be deemed automatically vested.

 

Advisory Board

 

On April 2, 2021, the Company established an advisory board (“Advisory Board”) to provide guidance and advice to the directors and officers of the Company regarding technical and business matters. The advisory board has no voting powers. The Advisory Board currently consists of three members: Amir Ben-Yohanan, Harris Tulchin and Massimiliano Musina.

 

Employees

 

We currently have 3 full time employees, including Amir Ben-Yohanan, our Chief Executive Officer, Scott Hoey, our Chief Financial Officer, and Harris Tulchin, our Chief Business Affairs Officer and Chief Legal Officer. We also contract with a number of consultants that assist in various aspects of our operations.

 

We believe that a diverse workforce is important to our success. As we grow our business, we will focus on the hiring, retention and advancement of women and underrepresented populations, and to cultivate an inclusive and diverse corporate culture. The Company has hired a Human Resources consultant to evaluate and implement our ongoing human capital needs. We will continue to evaluate our use of human capital measures or objectives in managing our business such as the factors we employ or seek to employ in the development, attraction and retention of personnel and maintenance of diversity in our workforce.

 

22
 

 

In the future, we also intend to provide our employees and their families with access to a variety of innovative, flexible and convenient health and wellness programs, including benefits that provide protection and security so they can have peace of mind concerning events that may require time away from work or that impact their financial well-being; that support their physical and mental health by providing tools and resources to help them improve or maintain their health status and encourage engagement in healthy behaviors; and that offer choice where possible so they can customize their benefits to meet their needs and the needs of their families.

 

We also expect to provide robust compensation and benefits programs to help meet the needs of our employees.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Below is a summary of material risks, uncertainties and other factors that could have a material effect on the Company and its operations:

 

  We have a history of operating losses, our management has concluded that factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and our auditors have included explanatory paragraphs relating to our ability to continue as a going concern in their audit reports for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
  We are a holding company and our principal asset is our 100% equity interest in WOHG, through which we own 100% of each of WOHG’s limited liability company operating subsidiaries, and accordingly we are dependent upon distributions from such operating subsidiaries to pay taxes and other expenses.
  WOHG is an early-stage company with a limited operating history. Such limited operating history of WOHG may not provide an adequate basis to judge our future prospects and results of operations.
  Since inception of WOHG, WOHG has experienced losses, and we may have to further reduce our costs by curtailing future operations to continue as a business.
  There are no assurances we will realize the anticipated benefits from the acquisition of WOHG.
  We may be adversely affected by political tensions between the United States and China.
  We may fail to successfully execute our business plan.
  Our acquisition strategy creates risks for our business.
  We may not be able to effectively manage our growth and the increased complexity of our business, which could negatively impact our brand and financial performance.
  We may suffer from lack of availability of additional funds.
  Our substantial amount of indebtedness may adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to operate our business, remain in compliance with debt covenants and make payments on our indebtedness.
  The ability of our Chief Executive Officer, Amir Ben-Yohanan, to control our business may limit or eliminate minority stockholders’ ability to influence corporate affairs.
  Our business depends on our ability to provide customers and followers with interesting and useful content, which in turn depends on the content contributed by the content creators.
  Changes in public and consumer tastes and preferences and industry trends could reduce demand for our services and content offerings and adversely affect our business.
  Our ability to generate revenue from discretionary and corporate spending, such as corporate sponsorships and advertising, is subject to many factors, including many that are beyond our control.
  We may not be able to adapt to or manage new content distribution platforms or changes in consumer behavior resulting from new technologies.

 

23
 

 

  Because our success depends substantially on our ability to maintain a professional reputation, adverse publicity concerning us, one of our businesses, our Creators or our key personnel could adversely affect our business.
  Our success depends, in part, on our continuing ability to identify, recruit and retain qualified and experienced talent managers. If we fail to recruit and retain suitable talent managers or if our relationships with our talent managers change or deteriorate, it could adversely affect our business.
  We operate in a fast-evolving industry, and we are in the early stage of our business. We cannot guarantee that our monetization strategies will be successfully implemented or generate sustainable revenues and profit.
  We rely on technology, such as our information systems, to conduct our business. Failure to protect our technology against breakdowns and security breaches could adversely affect our business.
  The commercial success of our products is dependent, in part, on factors outside our control.
  Increases in the costs of content may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 

In our paid promotion business, if we are unable to prove that our advertising and sponsorship solutions provide an attractive return on investment for our customers, our financial results could be harmed.

  We will be attempting to launch brands in new markets and with new products. Our inability to effectively execute our business plan in relation to these new brands could negatively impact our business.
  Our management team’s attention may be diverted by acquisitions and searches for new acquisition targets, and our business and operations may suffer adverse consequences as a result.
  We may be unable to scale our operations successfully.
  Economic conditions or changing consumer preferences could adversely impact our business.
  Our intellectual property rights are valuable, and if we are unable to protect them or are subject to intellectual property rights claims, our business may be harmed.
  We may be found to have infringed the intellectual property rights of others, which could expose us to substantial damages or restrict our operations.
  As a creator and a distributor of content over the internet, we face potential liability for legal claims based on the nature and content of the materials that we create or distribute.
  We are subject to extensive U.S. and foreign governmental regulations, and our failure to comply with these regulations could adversely affect our business.
  Our results of operations, which are reported in U.S. dollars, could be adversely affected if currency exchange rates fluctuate substantially in the future.
  Our amended and restated bylaws provide that state or federal court located within the state of Nevada will be the sole and exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our shareholders, which could limit its stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees.
  Stockholders are bound by the fee-shifting provision contained in our amended and restated bylaws, which may discourage you to pursue actions against us.
  As a result of being a public company, we are subject to additional reporting and corporate governance requirements that will require additional management time, resources and expense.
  We may not have sufficient insurance coverage and an interruption of our business or loss of a significant amount of property could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operations.
  We could become involved in claims or litigations that may result in adverse outcomes.
  Trading on the OTC Markets is volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our security holders to resell their common stock.
  Our stock price is likely to be highly volatile because of several factors, including a limited public float.
  Our common stock has been in the past, and may be in the future, a “penny stock” under SEC rules. It may be more difficult to resell securities classified as “penny stock.”
  FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
  We are required to comply with certain provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), and if we fail to continue to comply, our business could be harmed and the price of our securities could decline.
  Our privately issued common stock is subject to risks arising from restrictions on reliance on Rule 144 by shell companies or former shell companies.
  The sale and issuance of additional shares of our common stock could cause dilution as well as the value of our common stock to decline.
  Substantial future sales of shares of our common stock could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
  Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may delay or prevent a takeover which may not be in the best interests of our stockholders.
 

We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

  Failure to protect client data or prevent breaches of our information systems could expose us to liability or reputational damage.
 

We may be exposed to damage to our business or our reputation by cybersecurity breaches.

 

Rapid market or technological changes may render our technology obsolete or decrease the attractiveness of our products and services to our clients.

We encourage you, however, to read the full risk factors presented below.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

 

We have a history of operating losses, our management has concluded that factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and our auditors have included explanatory paragraphs relating to our ability to continue as a going concern in their audit reports for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

 

We have a history of operating losses and have incurred cash flow deficits. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we reported net losses of $2,369,920 and $7,910,897, respectively, and negative cash flow from operating activities of $581,140 and $1,958,875, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, we had an aggregate accumulated deficit of $35,184,891. There is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our historical recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations, as well as our dependence on private equity and financings. We anticipate that we will continue to report losses and negative cash flow for the foreseeable future. Our management has concluded that our historical recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations, as well as our dependence on private equity and other financings, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our auditors have included explanatory paragraphs relating to our ability to continue as a going concern in their audit reports for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

The consolidated financial statements of Clubhouse Media do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. These adjustments would likely include substantial impairment of the carrying amount of our assets and potential contingent liabilities that may arise if we are unable to fulfill various operational commitments. In addition, the value of our securities would be greatly impaired. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon generating sufficient cash flow from operations and obtaining additional capital and financing. If our ability to generate cash flow from operations is delayed or reduced and we are unable to raise additional funding from other sources, we may be unable to continue in business.

 

We are a holding company and our principal asset is our 100% equity interest in WOHG, through which we own 100% of each of WOHG’s limited liability company operating subsidiaries, and accordingly we are dependent upon distributions from such operating subsidiaries to pay taxes and other expenses.

 

We are a holding company and our principal asset is our 100% equity interests in WOHG. WOHG operates through its subsidiary wholly owned limited liability companies, of which it owns 100% of each. Accordingly, we are dependent upon distributions from our operating subsidiaries to pay taxes and other expenses. If our operating subsidiaries do not generate sufficient revenues such that they can provide distributions to us, we may be unable to pay our taxes and other expenses which would have a materially adverse effect on our business operations and our Company as a whole.

 

25
 

 

WOHG is an early-stage company with a limited operating history. Such limited operating history of WOHG may not provide an adequate basis to judge our future prospects and results of operations.

 

On November 12, 2020, pursuant to the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, we acquired WOHG, and WOHG thereafter became our wholly owned subsidiary, and the business of WOHG became the business of the Company going forward. WOHG has limited experience and a limited operating history in which to assess its future prospects as a company. In addition, the market for the products and services offered through WOHG is highly competitive. If we fail to successfully develop and offer the products and services offered through WOHG in an increasingly competitive market, we may not be able to capture the growth opportunities associated with them or recover our development and marketing costs, and our future results of operations and growth strategies could be adversely affected. The limited history of WOHG may not provide a meaningful basis for investors to evaluate our business, financial performance, and prospects.

 

Since inception of WOHG, WOHG has experienced losses, and we may have to further reduce our costs by curtailing future operations to continue as a business.

 

Since inception of WOHG, WOHG has had operating losses and its cash flow has been inadequate to support its ongoing operations. Its ability to fund its capital requirements out of its available cash and cash generated from its operations depends on a number of factors, including its ability to gain interest in its products and services and continue growing its existing operations and its ability to raise funds as needed. If we cannot continue to generate positive cash flow from operations, we will have to reduce our costs and try to raise working capital from other sources. These measures could materially and adversely affect our ability to execute our operations and expand our business.

 

Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated growth opportunities and synergies from combining Clubhouse Media and WOHG. The combined company may encounter the following difficulties, costs and delays involved in integrating these operations:

 

  failure to integrate both companies’ businesses and operations;
     
  failure to successfully manage relationships with customers and other important relationships;
     
  failure of customers to continue using the services of the combined company;
     
  challenges encountered in managing larger operations;
     
  the loss of key employees;
     
  failure to manage the growth and growth strategies of both companies;
     
  diversion of the attention of management from other ongoing business concerns;
     
  potential incompatibility of technologies and systems; and
     
  potential impairment charges incurred to write down the carrying amount of intangible assets generated as a result of the mergers.

 

If the combined company’s operations do not meet the expectations of the pre-existing customers of our companies before, then these customers may cease doing business with the combined company altogether, which would harm our results of operations and financial condition. If the management team is not able to develop strategies and implement a business plan that successfully addresses these difficulties, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of combining the companies. In particular, we are likely to realize lower earnings per share, which may have an adverse impact on our Company and the market price of our common stock.

 

Impact of COVID-19 on the Company

 

Due to the digital/remote nature of the Company’s business, COVID-19 has had, and is expected to have, only a limited effect on the Company’s operations.

 

26
 

 

We may be adversely affected by political tensions between the United States and China.

 

Political tensions between the United States and China have escalated due to, among other things, trade disputes, the COVID-19 outbreak and sanctions imposed by the U.S. Department of Treasury on certain officials of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the central government of the PRC. On August 6, 2020, then-President Donald Trump issued an executive order requiring ByteDance to sell TikTok to an American company, or risk being banned in the United States entirely. While ByteDance ultimately complied with this executive order, TikTok was not banned in the United States, and it is unclear what the Biden administration’s position with respect to TikTok will be, a ban of a social media platform on which our influencers have acquired significant followers, such as TikTok, would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, there have been recent media reports on deliberations within the U.S. government regarding potentially limiting or restricting China-based companies from accessing U.S. capital markets. If any legislation were to be enacted or any regulations were to be adopted along these lines that ultimately had the effect of harming or outright banning a social media platform utilized by our Company and/or its influencers, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

 

We may fail to successfully execute our business plan.

 

Our shareholders may lose their entire investment if we fail to execute our business plan. Our prospects must be considered in light of the following risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, competition, the erosion of ongoing revenue streams, the ability to retain experienced personnel and general economic conditions. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in executing our business plan. If we fail to successfully execute our business plan, we may be forced to cease operations, in which case our shareholders may lose their entire investment.

 

Our acquisition strategy creates risks for our business.

 

We expect that we will pursue acquisitions of other businesses, assets or technologies to grow our business. We may fail to identify attractive acquisition candidates or we may be unable to reach acceptable terms for future acquisitions. We might not be able to raise enough cash to compete for attractive acquisition targets. If we are unable to complete acquisitions in the future, our ability to grow our business at our anticipated rate will be impaired.

 

We may pay for acquisitions by issuing additional shares of our common stock, which would dilute our shareholders, or by issuing debt, which could include terms that restrict our ability to operate our business or pursue other opportunities and subject us to meaningful debt service obligations. We may also use significant amounts of cash to complete acquisitions. To the extent that we complete acquisitions in the future, we likely will incur future depreciation and amortization expenses associated with the acquired assets. We may also record significant amounts of intangible assets, including goodwill, which could become impaired in the future. Acquisitions involve numerous other risks, including:

 

  difficulties integrating the operations, technologies, services and personnel of the acquired companies;
     
  challenges maintaining our internal standards, controls, procedures and policies;
     
  diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns;
     
  over-valuation by us of acquired companies;
     
  litigation resulting from activities of the acquired company, including claims from terminated employees, customers, former shareholders and other third parties;
     
  insufficient revenues to offset increased expenses associated with the acquisitions and unanticipated liabilities of the acquired companies;
     
  insufficient indemnification or security from the selling parties for legal liabilities that we may assume in connection with our acquisitions;
     
  entering markets in which we have no prior experience and may not succeed;

 

27
 

 

  risks associated with foreign acquisitions, such as communication and integration problems resulting from geographic dispersion and language and cultural differences, compliance with foreign laws and regulations and general economic or political conditions in other countries or regions;
     
  potential loss of key employees of the acquired companies; and
     
  impairment of relationships with clients and employees of the acquired companies or our clients and employees as a result of the integration of acquired operations and new management personnel.

 

We may not be able to effectively manage our growth and the increased complexity of our business, which could negatively impact our brand and financial performance.

 

As we grow our business, we may incur increasing costs, such as operating costs and marketing costs. If such expansion is not properly managed, it may adversely affect our financial and operating resources without achieving the desired effects.

 

As we only have a limited history of operating our business at its current scale, it is difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects, including our ability to grow in the future. In addition, our costs and expenses may increase rapidly as we expand our business. Continued growth could also strain our ability to maintain reliable service levels for our clients and customers, develop and improve our operational, financial, legal and management controls, and enhance our reporting systems and procedures. Our costs and expenses may grow faster than our revenues and may be greater than what we anticipate. If we are unable to generate adequate revenues and to manage our costs and expenses, we may continue to incur losses in the future and may not be able to achieve or subsequently maintain profitability. Managing our growth will require significant expenditures and the allocation of valuable management resources. If we fail to achieve the necessary level of efficiency in our organization as it grows, our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed.

 

We may suffer from lack of availability of additional funds.

 

We expect to have ongoing needs for working capital in order to fund operations and to continue to expand our operations. To that end, we will be required to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in securing additional capital on favorable terms, if at all. If we are successful, whether the terms are favorable or unfavorable, there is a potential that we will fail to comply with the terms of such financing, which could result in severe liability for our Company. If we are unsuccessful, we may need to (a) initiate cost reductions; (b) forego business development opportunities; (c) seek extensions of time to fund liabilities, or (d) seek protection from creditors. In addition, any future sale of our equity securities would dilute the ownership and control of your shares and could be at prices substantially below prices at which our shares currently trade. Our inability to raise capital could require us to significantly curtail or terminate our operations altogether. We may seek to increase our cash reserves through the sale of additional equity or debt securities. The sale of convertible debt securities or additional equity securities could result in additional and potentially substantial dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations and liquidity. In addition, our ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms is subject to a variety of uncertainties.

 

In addition, if we are unable to generate adequate cash from operations, and if we are unable to find sources of funding, it may be necessary for us to sell all or a portion of our assets, enter into a business combination, or reduce or eliminate operations. These possibilities, to the extent available, may be on terms that result in significant dilution to our shareholders or that result in our shareholders losing all of their investment in our Company.

Our substantial amount of indebtedness may adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to operate our business, remain in compliance with debt covenants and make payments on our indebtedness.

 

Our substantial level of indebtedness increases the possibility that we may be unable to generate cash sufficient to pay, when due, the principal of, interest on or other amounts due with respect to our indebtedness. Our indebtedness could have other important consequences to you as a stockholder. For example, it could:

 

make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our indebtedness and any failure to comply with the obligations of any of our debt instruments, including financial and other restrictive covenants, could result in an event of default under the senior secured credit facility and the senior subordinated note;

 

  make us more vulnerable to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation;
     
  require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flows to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;
     
  limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;
     
  place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and
     
  limit our ability to borrow additional amounts for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our business strategy or other purposes.

 

Any of the above listed factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The ability of our Chief Executive Officer, Amir Ben-Yohanan, to control our business may limit or eliminate minority stockholders’ ability to influence corporate affairs.

 

Voting control of the Company is held by our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ben-Yohanan, through the share of Series X Preferred Stock he holds. This share of Series X Preferred Stock has a number of votes at any time equal to (i) the number of votes then held or entitled to be made by all other equity or debt securities of the Company, or pursuant to any other agreement, contract or understanding of the Company, plus (ii) one.

 

On August 11, 2023, the Company issued 5,987,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Ben-Yohanan for satisfaction of outstanding debt. During October 2023, the Company issued 483,809,990 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Ben-Yohanan for services. On April 18, 2022, the Company issued 2,820,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Ben-Yohanan at a purchase price per share of $0.025, for a total purchase price of $70,500. Mr. Ben-Yohanan is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, and a significant stockholder of the Company. As a result of the share purchase, as of March 31, 2024, Mr. Ben-Yohanan holds 11,032,673,753 shares of common stock, and one share of Series X preferred stock. The share of Series X preferred stock has a number of votes equal to all of the other votes entitled to be cast on any matter by any other shares or securities of the Company plus one but does not have any economic or other interest in the Company. As a result of Mr. Ben-Yohanan’s common stock and Series X preferred stock holdings, Mr. Ben-Yohanan holds 83.69% of the voting power of the Company as of March 31, 2024.

 

The interests of our Chief Executive Officer may differ from the interests of other stockholders with respect to the issuance of shares, business transactions with or sales to other companies, selection of other officers and directors and other business decisions. The minority stockholders will have no way of overriding decisions made by our Chief Executive Officer.

Our business depends on our ability to provide customers and followers with interesting and useful content, which in turn depends on the content contributed by the content creators.

 

The quality of the content offered by our creators and their followers’ level of engagement are critical to our success. In order to attract and retain users and compete effectively, we must offer interesting and useful content and enhance followers’ viewing experience. It is vital to our operations that we remain sensitive to and responsive to evolving public and consumer preferences and offer content that appeals to our followers and customers. We have also been providing our content creators with support and guidance in various forms, including technical support for content distribution, editing and uploading. However, we cannot assure you that our content creators can contribute to create popular contents. If our content creators cease to contribute content, or their uploaded content fails to attract or retain our followers and customers, we may experience a decline in our business and suffer a reduction in revenue.

 

Changes in public and consumer tastes and preferences and industry trends could reduce demand for our services and content offerings and adversely affect our business.

 

Our ability to generate revenues is highly sensitive to rapidly changing consumer preferences and industry trends, as well as the popularity of the creators on our site. Our success depends on our creators’ ability to create quality content through popular social media channels that meet the changing preferences of the broad consumer market and respond to competition from an expanding array of choices facilitated by technological developments in the delivery of content. Our operations and revenues are affected by consumer tastes and entertainment trends, which are unpredictable and subject to change and may be affected by changes in the social and political climate. Changes in consumers’ tastes or a change in the perceptions of our business partners, whether as a result of the social and political climate or otherwise, could adversely affect our operating results. Our failure to avoid a negative perception among consumers or anticipate and respond to changes in consumer preferences, including in the form of content creation or distribution, could result in reduced demand for our product and/or content offerings, or a reduced social media followings and business opportunities for our Creators, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our ability to create popular, social media-based entertainment content is increasingly important to the success of our business and our ability to generate revenues. The production of entertainment content is inherently risky because the revenues we derive from various sources primarily depend on our ability to reach large audiences and satisfy consumer tastes and expectations in a consistent manner. The popularity of our content and owned assets is affected by our ability to maintain or develop strong brand awareness and target key audiences, the sources and nature of competing content offerings, the time and manner in which consumers acquire and view some of our entertainment products and the options available to advertisers for reaching their desired audiences. Consumer tastes change frequently and it is a challenge to anticipate what offerings will be successful at any point in time. We invest substantial capital in our content and owned assets, including in the creation of original content, before learning the extent to which it will achieve popularity with consumers. A lack of popularity of these, our other content offerings or our owned assets, as well as labor disputes, unavailability of a star performer, or cost overruns could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our ability to generate revenue from discretionary and corporate spending, such as corporate sponsorships and advertising, is subject to many factors, including many that are beyond our control.

 

Our business depends on discretionary consumer and corporate spending. Many factors related to corporate spending and discretionary consumer spending, including economic conditions affecting disposable consumer income such as unemployment levels, fuel prices, interest rates, changes in tax rates and tax laws that impact companies or individuals and inflation can significantly impact our operating results. While consumer and corporate spending may decline at any time for reasons beyond our control, the risks associated with our businesses become more acute in periods of a slowing economy or recession, which may be accompanied by reductions in corporate sponsorship and advertising. During periods of reduced economic activity, many consumers have historically reduced their discretionary spending and advertisers have reduced their sponsorship and advertising expenditures, which can result in a reduction in sponsorship opportunities. There can be no assurance that consumer and corporate spending will not be adversely impacted by current economic conditions, or by any future deterioration in economic conditions, thereby possibly impacting our operating results and growth. A prolonged period of reduced consumer or corporate spending could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may not be able to adapt to or manage new content distribution platforms or changes in consumer behavior resulting from new technologies.

 

We must successfully adapt to and manage technological advances in our industry, including the emergence of alternative social media platforms. If we are unable to adopt or are late in adopting technological changes and innovations, it may lead to a loss of consumers viewing our content, and a corresponding reduction in revenues from advertisers. It may also lead to a reduction in ours or our Creators’ ability to monetize new platforms. Our ability to effectively generate revenue from new content distribution platforms and viewing technologies will affect our ability to maintain and grow our business. Emerging forms of content distribution may provide different economic models and compete with current distribution methods (such as Instagram and TikTok) in ways that are not entirely predictable, which could reduce demand for promotional posts by our team of influencers. We must also adapt to changing consumer behavior driven by advances in technology. If we fail to adapt our distribution methods and content to emerging technologies and new distribution platforms, our ability to generate revenue from our targeted audiences may decline and could result in an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Because our success depends substantially on our ability to maintain a professional reputation, adverse publicity concerning us, one of our businesses, our Creators or our key personnel could adversely affect our business.

 

Our professional reputation is essential to our continued success and any decrease in the quality of our reputation could impair our ability to, among other things, recruit and retain qualified and experienced talent managers and other key personnel, retain or attract creators, and retain or attract advertisers, purchasers of our products, (i.e. our customers). Our overall reputation may be negatively impacted by a number of factors, including negative publicity concerning us, members of our management, our Creators, our customers, and other key personnel. Any adverse publicity relating to such individuals or entities that we employ or represent, or to our Company, including from reported or actual incidents or allegations of illegal or improper conduct, such as harassment, discrimination or other misconduct, could result in significant media attention, even if not directly relating to or involving WOHG, and could have a negative impact on our professional reputation, potentially resulting in termination of contracts, our inability to attract new customer or client relationships, or the loss or termination of such employees’ services, all of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our professional reputation could also be impacted by adverse publicity relating to one or more of our owned or majority owned brands or businesses.

 

Our success depends, in part, on our continuing ability to identify, recruit and retain qualified and experienced creators. If we fail to recruit and retain suitable creators or if our relationships with our creators change or deteriorate, it could adversely affect our business.

 

Our success depends, in part, upon our continuing ability to identify, recruit and retain qualified and experienced creators. There is great competition for qualified and experienced creators in the social media industry, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to hire or retain a sufficient number of qualified persons to meet our requirements, or that we will be able to do so under terms that are economically attractive to us. Any failure to retain certain creators could lead to the loss of users and revenue and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

31
 

 

The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, both within the United States and internationally.

 

We face competition from a variety of other domestic and foreign companies. We face competition from alternative providers of the content we and our creators offer and from other forms of entertainment in a rapidly changing and increasingly fragmented marketplace. There are other companies currently providing similar services as us in the social media content monetization industry. Our competitors include, but are not limited to, Only Fans and Centerfold and any other social media creator monetization platforms, each of which may have greater financial and other resources than us. We may be unable to successfully compete with these competitors, and may expend significant resources without success. Further, any increased competition, which may not be foreseeable, or our failure to adequately address any competitive factors, could result in reduced demand for our content which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We operate in a fast-evolving industry, and we are in the early stage of our business. We cannot guarantee that our monetization strategies will be successfully implemented or generate sustainable revenues and profit.

 

We are in the early stage of our business, and our monetization model is evolving. We generate revenues primarily by providing our users with valuable content. We also generate revenues from advertising and other services. We cannot assure you that we can successfully implement the existing monetization strategies to generate sustainable revenues, or that we will be able to develop new monetization strategies to grow our revenues. If our strategic initiatives do not enhance our ability to monetize or enable us to develop new monetization approaches, we may not be able to maintain or increase our revenues or recover any associated costs. In addition, we may introduce new products and services to expand our revenue streams, including products and services with which we have little or no prior development or operating experience. If these new or enhanced products or services fail to engage users, content creators or business partners, we may fail to diversify our revenue streams or generate sufficient revenues to justify our investments and costs, and our business and operating results may suffer as a result.

 

We rely on technology, such as our information systems, to conduct our business. Failure to protect our technology against breakdowns and security breaches could adversely affect our business.

 

We rely on technology, such as our information systems and social media platforms, to conduct our business. This technology is vulnerable to service interruptions and security breaches from inadvertent or intentional actions by our employees, partners and vendors, or from attacks by malicious third parties. Such attacks are of ever-increasing levels of sophistication and are made by groups and individuals with a wide range of motives and expertise, including organized criminal groups, “hacktivists,” nation states and others. The techniques used to breach security safeguards evolve rapidly, and they may be difficult to detect for an extended period of time, and the measures we take to safeguard our technology may not adequately prevent such incidents.

 

While we have taken steps to protect our confidential and personal information and invested in information technology, there can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent service interruptions or security breaches in our systems or the unauthorized or inadvertent wrongful use or disclosure of confidential information. Such incidents could adversely affect our business operations, reputation and client relationships. Any such breach would require us to expend significant resources to mitigate the breach of security and to address matters related to any such breach, including the payment of fines. Although we maintain an insurance policy that covers data security, privacy liability and cyber-attacks, our insurance may not be adequate to cover losses arising from breaches or attacks on our systems. We also may be required to notify regulators about any actual or perceived personal data breach as well as the individuals who are affected by the incident within strict time periods.

 

In addition, our use of social media presents the potential for further vulnerabilities. For instance, we may be subject to boycotts, spam, spyware, ransomware, phishing and social engineering, viruses, worms, malware, DDOS attacks, password attacks, man-in-the-middle attacks, cybersquatting, impersonation of employees or officers, abuse of comments and message boards, fake reviews, doxing and swatting. While we have internal policies in place to protect against these vulnerabilities, we can make no assurances that we will not be adversely affected should one of these events occur.

The commercial success of our products is dependent, in part, on factors outside our control.

 

The commercial success of our products is dependent upon unpredictable and volatile factors beyond our control, such as the success of our competitors’ products. Our failure to attract market acceptance and a sustainable competitive advantage over our competitors would materially harm our business.

 

Increases in the costs of content may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We need to produce or acquire popular content. The production and acquisition of such content depends on our ability to retain our content creators. As our business develops, we may incur increasing revenue-sharing costs to compensate our content creators of producing original content. Increases in market prices for licensed content may also have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we are not able to procure licensed content at commercially acceptable costs, our business and results of operations will be adversely impacted. In addition, if we are unable to generate sufficient revenues to outpace the increase in market prices for licensed content, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. We rely on our team to generate creative ideas for original content and to supervise the original content origination and production process, and we intend to continue to invest resources in content production. If we are not able to compete effectively for talents or attract and retain top influencers at reasonable costs, our original content production capabilities would be negatively impacted.

 

In our paid promotion business, if we are unable to prove that our advertising and sponsorship solutions provide an attractive return on investment for our customers, our financial results could be harmed.

 

Our ability to grow revenue from our paid promotion business will be dependent on our ability to demonstrate to marketers that their marketing campaigns with us provide a meaningful return on investment relative to offline and other online opportunities. Our ability, however, to demonstrate the value of advertising and sponsorship on paid promotion business properties will depend, in part, on the quality of our products and contents, the actions taken by our competitors to enhance their offerings, whether we meet the expectations of our customers and a number of other factors. If we are unable to maintain sophisticated and high-quality contents that provide value to our customers or demonstrate our ability to provide value to our customers, our financial results will be harmed.

 

We will be attempting to launch brands in new markets and with new products. Our inability to effectively execute our business plan in relation to these new brands could negatively impact our business.

 

We are attempting launch new product brands into markets in which we have no experience offering products. Launching new products into new markets is risky, and requires extensive marketing and business expertise. There can be no assurances we will have the capital, personnel resources, or expertise to be successful in launching these new business efforts.

 

Our management team’s attention may be diverted by acquisitions and searches for new acquisition targets, and our business and operations may suffer adverse consequences as a result.

 

Mergers and acquisitions are time intensive, requiring significant commitment of our management team’s focus and resources. If our management team spends too much time focused on acquisitions or on potential acquisition targets, our management team may not have sufficient time to focus on our existing business and operations. This diversion of attention could have material and adverse consequences on our operations and our ability to be profitable.

 

33
 

 

We may be unable to scale our operations successfully.

 

Our growth strategy will place significant demands on our management and financial, administrative and other resources. Operating results will depend substantially on the ability of our officers and key employees to manage changing business conditions and to implement and improve our financial, administrative and other resources. If we are unable to respond to and manage changing business conditions, or the scale of its operations, then the quality of its services, its ability to retain key personnel, and its business could be harmed.

 

Economic conditions or changing consumer preferences could adversely impact our business.

 

A downturn in economic conditions in one or more of the Company’s markets could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects. Although we attempt to stay informed of government and customer trends, any sustained failure to identify and respond to trends could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects.

 

We may be found to have infringed the intellectual property rights of others, which could expose us to substantial damages or restrict our operations.

 

We expect to be subject to legal claims that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of others. The ready availability of damages and royalties and the potential for injunctive relief have increased the costs associated with litigating and settling patent infringement claims. Any claims, whether or not meritorious, could require us to spend significant time, money, and other resources in litigation, pay damages and royalties, develop new intellectual property, modify, design around, or discontinue existing products, services, or features, or acquire licenses to the intellectual property that is the subject of the infringement claims. These licenses, if required, may not be available at all or have acceptable terms. As a result, intellectual property claims against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

 

As a creator and a distributor of content over the internet, we face potential liability for legal claims based on the nature and content of the materials that we create or distribute.

 

Failure to identify and prevent illegal or inappropriate content from being created or distributed by our influencer may subject us to liability. To the extent that U.S. and foreign authorities find any content being created or distributed by our influencer objectionable, they may require us to limit or eliminate the dissemination of such content in the form of take-down orders, or otherwise. We may have to conduct a self-inspection by taking a comprehensive review of the content created by us. However, there can be no assurance that we can identify all the videos or other content that may violate relevant laws and regulations.

 

34
 

 

We are subject to extensive U.S. and foreign governmental regulations, and our failure to comply with these regulations could adversely affect our business.

 

Our operations are subject to federal, state and local laws, statutes, rules, regulations, policies and procedures in the United States and around the world, which are subject to change at any time, governing matters such as:

 

  licensing laws for talent agencies, such as California’s Talent Agencies Act;
     
  health, safety and sanitation requirements;
     
  harassment and discrimination, and other labor and employment laws and regulations;
     
  compliance with the U.S. Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990;
     
  compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the “FCPA”) and similar regulations in other countries, which prohibit U.S. companies and their intermediaries from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials and require companies to keep books and records that accurately and fairly reflect the transactions of the Company and to maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls;
     
  compliance with applicable antitrust and fair competition laws;
     
  compliance with international trade controls, including applicable import/export regulations, and sanctions and international embargoes that may limit or restrict our ability to do business with specific individuals or entities or in specific countries or territories;
     
  compliance with anti-money laundering and countering terrorist financing rules, currency control regulations, and statutes prohibiting tax evasion and the aiding or abetting of tax evasion;
     
  marketing activities;
     
  compliance with current and future privacy and data protection laws imposing requirements for the processing and protection of personal or sensitive information, including the GDPR and the E.U. e-Privacy Regulation;
     
  compliance with cybersecurity laws imposing country-specific requirements relating to information systems and network design, security, operations, and use;
     
  compliance with laws or regulations that regulate the content contained within videos, games and other content formats created by our influencers;
     
  tax laws; and
     
  imposition by foreign countries of trade restrictions, restrictions on the manner in which content is currently licensed and distributed or ownership restrictions.

 

Noncompliance with these laws could subject us to whistleblower complaints, investigations, sanctions, settlements, prosecution, other enforcement actions, disgorgement of profits, significant fines, damages, other civil and criminal penalties or injunctions, reputational harm, adverse media coverage, and other collateral consequences. Multiple or repeated failures by us to comply with these laws and regulations could result in increased fines or proceedings against us. If any subpoenas or investigations are launched, or governmental or other sanctions are imposed, or if we do not prevail in any possible civil or criminal litigation, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially harmed. In addition, responding to any action will likely result in a materially significant diversion of management’s attention and resources and significant defense costs and other professional fees. Enforcement actions and sanctions could further harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. While we attempt to conduct our business and operations in a manner that we believe to be in compliance with such laws and regulations, there can be no assurance that a law or regulation will not be interpreted or enforced in a manner contrary to our current understanding. In addition, the promulgation of new laws, rules and regulations could restrict or unfavorably impact our business, which could decrease demand for our services, reduce revenue, increase costs or subject us to additional liabilities.

 

35
 

 

In some United States and foreign jurisdictions, we may have direct and indirect interactions with government agencies and state-affiliated entities in the ordinary course of our business. In the event that we fail to comply with the regulations of a particular jurisdiction, whether through our acts or omissions or those of third parties, we may be prohibited from operating in those jurisdictions, which could lead to a decline in various revenue streams in such jurisdictions, and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We are also required to comply with economic sanctions laws imposed by the United States or by other jurisdictions where we do business, which may restrict our transactions in certain markets, and with certain customers, business partners and other persons and entities. As a result, we are not permitted to, directly or indirectly (including through a third party intermediary), procure goods, services, or technology from, or engage in transactions with, individuals and entities subject to sanctions. While we believe we have been in compliance with sanctions requirements, there can be no guarantee that we will remain in compliance. Any violation of corruption or sanctions laws could result in fines, civil and criminal sanctions against us or our employees, prohibitions on the conduct of our business (e.g., debarment from doing business with International Development Banks and similar organizations) and damage to our reputation, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our results of operations, which are reported in U.S. dollars, could be adversely affected if currency exchange rates fluctuate substantially in the future.

 

As we expect to expand our international operations, we become more exposed to the effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates. We generally collect revenue from our international markets in the local currency. Rapid appreciation of the U.S. dollar against these foreign currencies can harm our reported results and cause the revenue derived from our foreign users to decrease. Such appreciation could increase the costs of purchasing our products to our customers outside of the U.S., adversely affecting our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

We will also incur expenses for employee compensation and other operating expenses at our non-U.S. locations in the local currency. Fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies could result in the dollar equivalent of our expenses being higher which may not be offset by additional revenue earned in the local currency. This could have a negative impact on our reported results of operations.

 

Our amended and restated bylaws provide that state or federal court located within the state of Nevada will be the sole and exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our shareholders, which could limit its stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees.

 

Section 7.4 of our amended and restated bylaws provides that “[u]nless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) an action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Nevada Revised Statutes, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall be a state or federal court located within the state of Nevada, in all cases subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants.” This exclusive forum provision is intended to apply to claims arising under Nevada state law and would not apply to claims brought pursuant to the Exchange Act or Securities Act, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. The exclusive forum provision in our amended and restated bylaws will not relieve us of our duty to comply with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder, and shareholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with these laws, rules and regulations.

 

36
 

 

This exclusive forum provision may limit a shareholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum of its choosing for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against us or our directors, officers or other employees. In addition, shareholders who do bring a claim in the state or federal court in the State of Nevada could face additional litigation costs in pursuing any such claim, particularly if they do not reside in or near Nevada. The state or federal court of the State of Nevada may also reach different judgments or results than would other courts, including courts where a shareholder would otherwise choose to bring the action, and such judgments or results may be more favorable to us than to our shareholders. However, the enforceability of similar exclusive forum provisions in other companies’ bylaws has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find this type of provision to be inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings. If a court were to find the exclusive forum provision contained in our amended and restated bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we might incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions.

 

Stockholders are bound by the fee-shifting provision contained in our amended and restated bylaws, which may discourage you to pursue actions against us.

 

Section 7.4 of our amended and restated bylaws provides that “[i]f any action is brought by any party against another party, relating to or arising out of these Bylaws, or the enforcement hereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the prosecution or defense of such action.”

 

In the event you initiate or assert a claims against us, in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions contained in our amended and restated bylaws, and you do not, in a judgment prevail, you will be obligated to reimburse us for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such claim, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses and costs of appeal, if any.

 

THE FEE SHIFTING PROVISION CONTAINED IN THE AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS IS NOT INTENDED TO BE DEEMED A WAIVER BY ANY HOLDER OF COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY’S COMPLIANCE WITH THE U.S. FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER. THE FEE SHIFTING PROVISION CONTAINED IN THE BYLAWS DO NOT APPLY TO CLAIMS BROUGHT UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT AND SECURITIES ACT.

 

As a result of being a public company, we are subject to additional reporting and corporate governance requirements that will require additional management time, resources and expense.

 

As a public company we are obligated to file with the SEC annual and quarterly information and other reports that are specified in the Exchange Act. We are also subject to other reporting and corporate governance requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, all of which impose significant compliance and reporting obligations upon us and require us to incur additional expense in order to fulfill such obligations.

 

We may not have sufficient insurance coverage and an interruption of our business or loss of a significant amount of property could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operations.

 

We currently do not maintain any insurance policies against loss of key personnel and business interruption as well as product liability claims. If such events were to occur, our business, financial performance and financial position may be materially and adversely affected.

 

37
 

 

We could become involved in claims or litigations that may result in adverse outcomes.

 

From time-to-time we may be involved in a variety of claims or litigations. Such proceeding may initially be viewed as immaterial but could prove to be material. Litigations are inherently unpredictable and excessive verdicts do occur. Given the inherent uncertainties in litigation, even when we can reasonably estimate the amount of possible loss or range of loss and reasonably estimable loss contingencies, the actual outcome may change in the future due to new developments or changes in approach. In addition, such claims or litigations could involve significant expense and diversion of management’s attention and resources from other matters.

 

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK

 

Trading on the OTC Markets is volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our security holders to resell their common stock.

 

Our common stock currently trades on the OTC Pink tier of OTC Market Group LLC’s Marketplace under the symbol “CMGR.” The OTC Market is a network of security dealers who buy and sell stock. The dealers are connected by a computer network that provides information on current “bids” and “asks,” as well as volume information. Trading in securities quoted on the OTC Markets is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors, some of which may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Markets is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Markets is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like Nasdaq Capital Market or a stock exchange like the NYSE American. These factors may result in investors having difficulty reselling any shares of our common stock.

 

Our stock price is likely to be highly volatile because of several factors, including a limited public float.

 

The market price of our common stock has been volatile in the past and the market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile in the future. You may not be able to resell shares of our common stock following periods of volatility because of the market’s adverse reaction to volatility.

 

Other factors that could cause such volatility may include, among other things:

 

  actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
     
  the absence of securities analysts covering us and distributing research and recommendations about us;
     
  we may have a low trading volume for a number of reasons, including that a large portion of our stock is closely held;
     
  overall stock market fluctuations;
     
  announcements concerning our business or those of our competitors;
     
  actual or perceived limitations on our ability to raise capital when we require it, and to raise such capital on favorable terms;
     
  conditions or trends in the industry;
     
  litigation;
     
  changes in market valuations of other similar companies; 
     
  future sales of common stock;
     
  departure of key personnel or failure to hire key personnel; and
     
  general market conditions.

 

38
 

 

Any of these factors could have a significant and adverse impact on the market price of our common stock. In addition, the stock market in general has at times experienced extreme volatility and rapid decline that has often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

 

Our common stock is considered a “penny stock” under SEC rules. It may be more difficult to resell securities classified as “penny stock.”

 

Our common stock is a “penny stock” under applicable SEC rules (generally defined as non-exchange traded stock with a per-share price below $5.00). Unless we successfully list our common stock on a national securities exchange, or maintain a per-share price above $5.00, these “penny stock” rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that recommend the purchase or sale of penny stocks to persons other than those who qualify as “established customers” or “accredited investors.” For example, broker-dealers must determine the appropriateness for non-qualifying persons of investments in penny stocks. Broker-dealers must also provide, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, disclose the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, furnish monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account, provide a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser, and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.

 

Legal remedies available to an investor in “penny stocks” may include the following:

 

  If a “penny stock” is sold to the investor in violation of the requirements listed above, or other federal or states securities laws, the investor may be able to cancel the purchase and receive a refund of the investment.

 

  If a “penny stock” is sold to the investor in a fraudulent manner, the investor may be able to sue the persons and firms that committed the fraud for damages. 

 

These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our securities. If our common stock is a “penny stock,” these requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock.

 

Many brokerage firms will discourage or refrain from recommending investments in penny stocks. Most institutional investors will not invest in penny stocks. In addition, many individual investors will not invest in penny stocks due, among other reasons, to the increased financial risk generally associated with these investments.

 

For these reasons, penny stocks may have a limited market and, consequently, limited liquidity. We can give no assurance at what time, if ever, our common stock will not be classified as a “penny stock” in the future.

 

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted Rule 2111 that requires a broker-dealer to have reasonable grounds for believing that an investment is suitable for a customer before recommending the investment. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

We are required to comply with certain provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and if we fail to continue to comply, our business could be harmed and the price of our securities could decline.

 

Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act require an annual assessment of internal control over financial reporting, and for certain issuers an attestation of this assessment by the issuer’s independent registered public accounting firm. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are evolving and complex, and require significant documentation, testing, and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards. We expect to incur significant expenses and to devote resources to Section 404 compliance on an ongoing basis. It is difficult for us to predict how long it will take or costly it will be to complete the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for each year and to remediate any deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. As a result, we may not be able to complete the assessment and remediation process on a timely basis. In the event that our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer determines that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective as defined under Section 404, we cannot predict how regulators will react or how the market prices of our securities will be affected; however, we believe that there is a risk that investor confidence and the market value of our securities may be negatively affected.

 

Our privately issued common stock is subject to risks arising from restrictions on reliance on Rule 144 by shell companies or former shell companies.

 

Under a regulation of the SEC known as “Rule 144,” a person who beneficially owns restricted securities of an issuer and who is not an affiliate of that issuer may sell them without registration under the Securities Act provided that certain conditions have been met. One of these conditions is that such person has held the restricted securities for a prescribed period, which will be six months for the common stock. However, Rule 144 is unavailable for the resale of securities issued by an issuer that is a shell company (other than a business combination related shell company) or, unless certain conditions are met, that has been at any time previously a shell company.

 

The SEC defines a shell company as a company that has (a) no or nominal operations and (b) either (i) no or nominal assets, (ii) assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or (iii) assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. As a result of the share exchange in connection with the acquisition of WOHG, the Company ceased being a shell company as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. While we believe that as a result of this share exchange, the Company ceased to be a shell company, the SEC and others whose approval is required in order for shares to be sold under Rule 144 might take a different view.

 

Rule 144 is available for the resale of securities of former shell companies if and for as long as the following conditions are met:

 

  (i) the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;
     
  (ii) the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
     
  (iii) the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Current Reports on Form 8-K; and
     
  (iv) at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current comprehensive disclosure with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company known as “Form 10 Information.”

 

Although the Company filed Form 10 Information with the SEC on November 12, 2020, shareholders who receive the Company’s restricted securities will not be able to sell them pursuant to Rule 144 without registration until the Company has met the other conditions to this exemption and then for only as long as the Company continues to meet the condition described in subparagraph (iii), above, and is not a shell company. No assurance can be given that the Company will meet these conditions or that, if it has met them, it will continue to do so, or that it will not again be a shell company.

The sale and issuance of additional shares of our common stock could cause dilution as well as the value of our common stock to decline.

 

Stockholders will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share when we issue additional shares. We are authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock. We anticipate that all or at least some of our future funding, if any, will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. If we do sell or issue more common stock, any investors’ investment in the Company will be diluted. Dilution is the difference between what you pay for your stock and the net tangible book value per share immediately after the additional shares are sold by us. If dilution occurs, any investment in the Company’s common stock could seriously decline in value.

 

Substantial future sales of shares of our common stock could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

 

The market price of shares of our common stock could decline as a result of substantial sales of our common stock, particularly sales by our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders, a large number of shares of our common stock becoming available for sale or the perception in the market that holders of a large number of shares intend to sell their shares.

 

Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may delay or prevent a takeover which may not be in the best interests of our stockholders.

 

Provisions of our amended and restated articles of incorporation and our bylaws, as amended, may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects, which include when and by whom special meetings of our stockholders may be called, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt. Further, our articles of incorporation, as amended, authorize the issuance of up to approximately 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors in their sole discretion. Our Board of Directors may, without stockholder approval, issue series of preferred stock with dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock.

 

We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

We do not intend to declare dividends for the foreseeable future, as we anticipate that we will reinvest any future earnings in the development and growth of our business. Therefore, investors will not receive any funds unless they sell their common stock, and stockholders may be unable to sell their shares on favorable terms. We cannot assure you of a positive return on investment or that you will not lose the entire amount of your investment in our common stock.

 

Failure to protect client data or prevent breaches of our information systems could expose us to liability or reputational damage.

 

We are dependent on information technology networks and systems to securely process, transmit and store electronic information and to communicate with our clients and vendors. As the breadth and complexity of this infrastructure continues to grow, the potential risk of security breaches and cyber-attacks increases. As a social media company, we are continuously subject to cyber-attacks by third parties. Any such security breach could lead to shutdowns or disruptions of our systems and potential unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. In addition, vulnerabilities of our external service providers and other third parties could pose security risks to client information. The secure transmission of confidential information over public networks is also a critical element of our operations.

 

41
 

 

In providing services to clients, we manage, utilize and store sensitive and confidential client data, including personal data. As a result, we are subject to numerous laws and regulations designed to protect this information, such as U.S. federal and state laws governing the protection of personally identifiable information. These laws and regulations are increasing in complexity and number, change frequently and sometimes conflict. If any person, including any of our employees, negligently disregards or intentionally breaches our established controls with respect to client data, or otherwise mismanages or misappropriates that data, we could be subject to significant monetary damages, regulatory enforcement actions, fines and/or criminal prosecution in one or more jurisdictions. Unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential client data, whether through systems failure, employee negligence, fraud or misappropriation, could damage our reputation and cause us to lose clients. Similarly, unauthorized access to or through our information systems, whether by our employees or third parties, including a cyber-attack by third parties who may deploy viruses, worms or other malicious software programs, could result in negative publicity, significant remediation costs, legal liability, and damage to our reputation and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, our liability insurance might not be sufficient in type or amount to cover us against claims related to security breaches, cyber-attacks and other related breaches.

 

We may be exposed to damage to our business or our reputation by cybersecurity breaches.

 

As the world becomes more interconnected through the use of the internet and users rely more extensively on the internet and the cloud for the transmission and storage of data, such information becomes more susceptible to incursion by hackers and other parties intent on stealing or destroying data on which we or our customers rely. We face an evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats in which hackers use a complex array of means to perpetrate cyber-attacks, including the use of stolen access credentials, malware, ransomware, phishing, structured query language injection attacks, and distributed denial-of-service attacks, among other means. These cybersecurity incidents have increased in number and severity and it is expected that these trends will continue. Should we be affected by such an incident, we may incur substantial costs and suffer other negative consequences, which may include:

 

  Remediation costs, such as liability for stolen assets or information, repairs of system damage, and incentives to customers or business partners in an effort to maintain relationships after an attack;
     
  Increased cybersecurity protection costs, which may include the costs of making organizational changes, deploying additional personnel and protection technologies, training employees, and engaging third party experts and consultants;
     
  Lost revenues resulting from the unauthorized use of proprietary information or the failure to retain or attract customers following an attack;
     
  Litigation and legal risks, including regulatory actions by state and federal regulators; and
     
  Loss of reputation.

 

Increasingly, intruders attempt to steal significant amounts of data, including personally identifiable data and either hold such data for ransom or release it onto the internet, exposing our clients to financial or other harm and thereby significantly increasing our liability in such cases. Our regulators have introduced programs to review our protections against such incidents which, if they determined that our systems do not reasonably protect our clients’ assets and their data, could result in enforcement activity and sanctions.

 

We have and continue to introduce systems and software to prevent any such incidents and review and increase our defenses to such issues through the use of various services, programs and outside vendors. We contract cybersecurity consultants and also review and revise our cybersecurity policy to ensure that it remains up to date. In the event that we experience a material cybersecurity incident or identify a material cybersecurity threat, we will make all reasonable efforts to properly disclose it in a timely fashion. It is impossible, however, for us to know when or if such incidents may arise or the business impact of any such incident.

 

As a result of such risks, we have and are likely to incur significant costs in preparing our infrastructure and maintaining it to resist any such attacks.

 

42
 

 

Rapid market or technological changes may render our technology obsolete or decrease the attractiveness of our products and services to our clients.

 

We must continue to enhance and improve our technology services. The social media creator monetization industry is characterized by significant structural changes, increasingly complex systems and infrastructures, changes in clients’ needs and preferences, and new business models. If new industry standards and practices emerge and our competitors release new technology before us, our existing technology may become obsolete or our existing business may be harmed.

 

Our future success will depend on our ability to:

 

  Enhance our existing products and services;
     
  Develop and/or license new products and technologies that address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our clients and prospective clients;
     
  Continue to attract highly-skilled technology personnel; and
     
  Respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis.

 

Developing our HoneyDrip.com creator monetization platform   and other technology entails significant technical and business risks. We may use new technologies ineffectively or we may fail to adapt our electronic trading platform, information databases and network infrastructure to client requirements or emerging industry standards. If we face material delays in introducing new services, products and enhancements, our clients may forego the use of our products and use those of our competitors.

 

Further, the adoption of new internet, networking or telecommunications technologies may require us to devote substantial resources to modify and adapt our services. We cannot assure that we will be able to successfully implement new technologies or adapt our proprietary technology and transaction-processing systems to client requirements or emerging industry standards. We cannot assure that we will be able to respond in a timely manner to changing market conditions or client requirements.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

 

Market Information

 

Our common stock trades on the OTC Pink tier of OTC Market Group LLC’s Marketplace under the symbol “CMGR.” Prior to January 20, 2021, our common stock publicly traded on the OTC Pink tier of OTC Market Group LLC under the symbol “TONJ.” On January 20, 2021, we changed the symbol of our common stock from “TONJ” to “CMGR,” in conjunction with our name change from “Tongji Healthcare Group, Inc.” to “Clubhouse Media Group, Inc.”

 

The OTC Market is a network of security dealers who buy and sell stock. The dealers are connected by a computer network that provides information on current “bids” and “asks,” as well as volume information. The trading of securities on the OTC Pink is often sporadic and investors may have difficulty buying and selling our shares or obtaining market quotations for them, which may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. The closing price of our common stock on the OTC Pink on February 1, 2024 was $0.0001.

Overview

 

We are a social media firm. Our Company has recently ceased its operations in the agency and brand deal business to instead focus our efforts and resources on growing our wholly owned, creator monetization platform, HoneyDrip.com.

 

Through our subsidiary, West of Hudson Group, Inc. (“WOHG”), we currently generate revenues primarily through WOH Brands, LLC (“WOH Brands”), a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of WOHG, which operates Honeydrip.com, a new digital platform with a focus on the empowerment of creators. The site allows creators to connect with fans and sell exclusive photo and video content. The Company previously generated revenue through The Reiman Agency, a 51% majority held joint venture which brokered brand promotional deals between brands and talent, but has since discontinued these operations.

 

Recent Developments

 

Note payable – Amir without interest

 

For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company borrowed $1,393,000 and $1,106,500, respectively, from Amir. The Company, also, made payments of $396,667 and settled of $105,823 with issuance in common stock shares towards the note payable as of December 31, 2023. The note is due on demand and has no interest. The note payable is included with discontinued operations on the balance sheets.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, Mr. Ben-Yohanan entered into an agreement with the Company to forgive all prior accrued and unpaid wages amounting to $885,000 as of September 30, 2023 and agreed to forego any wages until further notification to the Company. The forgiven accrued and unpaid wages were recorded as a charge to additional paid in capital.

 

Results of Operations

 

For the Year Ended December 31, 2023 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2022

 

Net Revenue

 

Net revenue was $1,495,145 for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to net revenue of $1,018,342 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase of $476,803 was the result of the shift away from the agency and brand promotional business platform Honeydrip.com.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold was $971,470 for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to cost of goods sold of $775,317 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase of $196,153 was due to higher sales volume from platform Honeydrip.com which in turn resulted in more commission due to content creators.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit was $523,675 for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to gross profit of $243,025 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The gross profit percentage was 26% for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to 24% for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase is because the Company has shifted away from the brand deals and focused on platform Honeydrip.com.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Company

 

Due to the digital/remote nature of the Company’s business, COVID-19 has had, and is expected to have, only a limited effect on the Company’s operations.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, which requires that management evaluate whether there are relevant conditions and events that, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. While the Company is attempting to generate additional revenues, the Company’s cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate revenues. The Company will require additional cash funding to fund operations. Therefore, the Company concluded there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

To fund further operations, the Company will need to raise additional capital. The Company may obtain additional financing in the future through the issuance of its common stock, or through other equity or debt financings. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern or meet the minimum liquidity requirements in the future is dependent on its ability to raise significant additional capital, of which there can be no assurance. If the necessary financing is not obtained or achieved, the Company will likely be required to reduce its planned expenditures, which could have an adverse impact on the results of operations, financial condition and the Company’s ability to achieve its strategic objective. There can be no assurance that financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. The financial statements contain no adjustments for the outcome of these uncertainties. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial results, financial position and cash flows.

 

Equity Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement

 

On November 2, 2021, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Peak One Opportunity Fund, L.P. (“Peak One”), dated as of October 29, 2021, pursuant to which the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to direct Peak One to purchase up to $15,000,000 (the “Maximum Commitment Amount”) in shares of the Company’s common stock in multiple tranches (the “Put Shares”). Further, under the Equity Purchase Agreement and subject to the Maximum Commitment Amount, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to submit a Put Notice (as defined in the Equity Purchase Agreement) from time to time to Peak One (i) in a minimum amount not less than $20,000 and (ii) in a maximum amount up to the lesser of (a) $400,000 or (b) 250% of the Average Daily Trading Value (as defined in the Equity Purchase Agreement).

 

50
 

 

In exchange for Peak One entering into the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed, among other things, to (A) issue Peak One and Peak One Investments, LLC, an aggregate of 70,000 shares of common stock (the “Commitment Shares”), and (B) file a registration statement registering the common stock issued as Commitment Shares and issuable to Peak One under the Equity Purchase Agreement for resale (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC within 60 calendar days of the Equity Purchase Agreement, as more specifically set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

The obligation of Peak One to purchase the Company’s common stock begins on the date of the Equity Purchase Agreement, and ends on the earlier of (i) the date on which Peak One has purchased common stock pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement equal to the Maximum Commitment Amount, (ii) 24 months after the date of the Equity Purchase Agreement, (iii) written notice of termination by the Company to Peak One (which shall not occur during any Valuation Period or at any time that Peak One holds any of the Put Shares), (iv) the Registration Statement is no longer effective after the initial effective date of the Registration Statement, or (v) the date that the Company commences a voluntary case or any person commences a proceeding against the Company, a custodian is appointed for the Company or for all or substantially all of its property or the Company makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors (the “Commitment Period”).

 

During the Commitment Period, the purchase price to be paid by Peak One for the common stock under the Equity Purchase Agreement shall be 95% of the Market Price, which is defined as the lesser of the (i) closing bid price of the common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the respective Put Date (as defined in the Equity Purchase Agreement), or (ii) lowest closing bid price of the common stock during the Valuation Period (as defined in the Equity Purchase Agreement), in each case as reported by Bloomberg Finance L.P or other reputable source designated by Peak One.

 

The number of Put Shares to be purchased by Peak One shall not exceed the number of such shares that, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock then owned by Peak One beneficially or deemed beneficially owned by Peak One, would result in Peak One owning more than 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to a Put Notice.

 

In accordance with that certain Registration Rights Agreement, the Selling Securityholders are entitled to certain rights with respect to the registration of the Put Shares and Commitment Shares issued in connection with the Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Registrable Securities”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company must (i) file the Registration Statement within 60 calendar days from the date of the Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) use reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the 90th calendar day following the date of the Registration Rights Agreement, and (iii) use its reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until all of the Commitment Shares and Purchase Shares have been sold thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144. The Company must also take such action as is necessary to register and/or qualify the Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States.

 

Convertible Promissory Notes

 

The Company did not enter into convertible promissory notes during the year ending December 31, 2023. All outstanding convertible notes at December 31, 2023 are discussed at the related footnote, see footnote #8 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of December 31, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, the allowance for bad debt, useful life of fixed assets, income taxes and unrecognized tax benefits, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company’s accounts receivable arises from providing services. The Company does not adjust its receivables for the effects of a significant financing component at contract inception if it expects to collect the receivables in one year or less from the time of sale. The Company does not expect to collect receivables greater than one year from the time of sale.

 

The Company’s policy is to maintain an allowance for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged or written-off against the reserve. As of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, there were $79 and $0, respectively, for bad debt allowance for accounts receivable.

 

As of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, there were $2,956 and $0, respectively, for bad debt allowance for accounts receivable included with discontinued operations on balance sheets.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes all existing revenue recognition requirements, including most industry specific guidance. This new standard requires a company to recognize revenues when it transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive for those goods or services. The FASB subsequently issued the following amendments to ASU No. 2014-09 that have the same effective date and transition date: ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations; ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing; ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients; and ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company adopted these amendments with ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the “New Revenue Standards”).

 

Under the New Revenue Standards, the Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods.

 

The Company recognizes revenues following the five-step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation. The Company recognized revenue from providing temporary and permanent staffing solutions and sale of consumer products.

 

Managed Services Revenue

 

The Company generates revenue from its managed services when a marketer (typically a brand, agency or partner) pays the Company to provide custom content, influencer marketing, amplification or other campaign management services (“Managed Services”).

 

The Company maintains separate arrangements with each marketer and content creator either in the form of a master agreement or terms of service, which specify the terms of the relationship and access to its platforms, or by statement of work, which specifies the price and the services to be performed, along with other terms. The transaction price is determined based on the fixed fee stated in the statement of work and does not contain variable consideration. Marketers who contract with the Company to manage their advertising campaigns or custom content requests may prepay for services or request credit terms. The agreement typically provides for either a non-refundable deposit, or a cancellation fee if the agreement is canceled by the customer prior to completion of services. Billings in advance of completed services are recorded as a contract liability until earned. The Company assesses collectability based on a number of factors, including the creditworthiness of the customer and payment and transaction history.

 

For Managed Services Revenue, the Company enters into an agreement to provide services that may include multiple distinct performance obligations in the form of: (i) an integrated marketing campaign to provide influencer marketing services, which may include the provision of blogs, tweets, photos or videos shared through social network offerings and content promotion, such as click-through advertisements appearing in websites and social media channels; and (ii) custom content items, such as a research or news article, informational material or videos. Marketers typically purchase influencer marketing services for the purpose of providing public awareness or advertising buzz regarding the marketer’s brand and they purchase custom content for internal and external use. The Company may provide one type or a combination of all types of these performance obligations on a statement of work for a lump sum fee. The Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation in the contract at inception based on its relative standalone selling price. These performance obligations are to be provided over a stated period that generally ranges from one day to one year. Revenue is accounted for when the performance obligation has been satisfied depending on the type of service provided. The Company views its obligation to deliver influencer marketing services, including management services, as a single performance obligation that is satisfied at the time the customer receives the benefits from the services.

 

52
 

 

Based on the Company’s evaluations, revenue from Managed Services is reported on a gross basis because the Company has the primary obligation to fulfill the performance obligations and it creates, reviews and controls the services. The Company takes on the risk of payment to any third-party creators and it establishes the contract price directly with its customers based on the services requested in the statement of work. The contract liabilities as of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022 was $0 and $27,500, respectively, and included with discontinued operations on balance sheets.

 

Subscription-Based Revenue

 

The Company recognizes subscription-based revenue through its social media website at Honeydrip.com, which allow customers to visit the creators personal page over the contract period without taking possession of the products or deliverables, are provided on either a subscription or consumption basis. Revenue provided on a subscription basis is recognized ratably over the contract period and revenue provided on a consumption basis is recognized when the subscriber paid and received their access to the content. Previously, the Company reported the subscription-based revenue on a net basis since the Company is acting as an agent solely arranging for the third-party creator or influencer to provide the services directly to the self-service customer through the platform or by posting the requested content. In April 2022, the Company determined it would recognize subscription-based revenue on a gross basis because the Company has control of the services before they are transferred to the end customer. The Company provided services such as online chat and other services directly with the end customers by the Company’s internal team. Also, the Company establishes the price on behalf of the content creators pursuant to the terms of the relevant agreements between the Company and the respective content creators. In addition, the Company has sole power to change the price based on the market. These are good indicators that the Company controls the specified goods or services before they are transferred to the customer.

 

Software Development Costs

 

We apply ASC 350-40, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal Use Software, in review of certain system projects. These system projects generally relate to software we do not intend to sell or otherwise market. In addition, we apply this guidance to our review of development projects related to software used exclusively for our SaaS subscription offerings. In these reviews, all costs incurred during the preliminary project stages are expensed as incurred. Once the projects have been committed to and it is probable that the projects will meet functional requirements, costs are capitalized. These capitalized software costs are amortized on a project-by-project basis over the expected economic life of the underlying product on a straight-line basis, which is five years. Amortization commences when the software is available for its intended use. Amounts capitalized related to development of internal use software are included in property and equipment, net, on our Consolidated Balance sheets and related depreciation is recorded as a component of amortization of intangible assets and depreciation in our consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, we capitalized approximately $80,760 and $384,985, respectively, related to internal use software and recorded $125,545 and $65,286 in related amortization expense, respectively. Unamortized costs of capitalized internal use software totaled $445,582 and $777,192 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

53
 

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there was no impairment loss of its long-lived assets.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the tax law. For deferred tax assets, management evaluates the probability of realizing the future benefits of such assets. The Company establishes valuation allowances for its deferred tax assets when evidence suggests it is unlikely that the assets will be fully realized.

 

The Company recognizes the tax effects of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not to be sustained based solely on its technical merits as of the reporting date and then only in an amount more likely than not to be sustained upon review by the tax authorities. Income tax positions that previously failed to meet the more likely than not threshold are recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more likely than not threshold are derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. The Company classifies potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as income tax expense.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, other receivable, note receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, if applicable, approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of debt were also estimated to approximate fair value.

 

The Company utilizes the methods of fair value (“FV”) measurement as described in ASC 820 to value its financial assets and liabilities. As defined in ASC 820, FV is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in FV measurements, ASC 820 establishes a FV hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure FV into three broad levels, which are described below:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The FV hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

 

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The FV hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

 

The Company used Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the derivative liabilities for conversion feature of the convertible notes in determining the fair value the weighted-average Binomial option pricing model following assumption inputs. The fair value of derivative liability as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $873,913 and $799,988, respectively.

 

54
 

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation cost to employees is measured at the date of grant, based on the calculated fair value of the stock-based award, and will be recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the award). Share-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

The fair value of derivative instruments is recorded and shown separately under liabilities. Changes in the fair value of derivatives liability are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations under other (income) expense.

 

Our Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses binomial option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Topic 470) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Topic 815): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 requires companies to measure conversion of debt into equity that contain derivatives with difference as a gain or loss. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including those interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted and follows ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. Pursuant to ASU 2020-06, the Company recorded gain on conversion of notes payable in the amount of $261,798 included in Gain (loss) related to debt on Statement of Operations as of December 31, 2023.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this quarterly report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2023, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was due to the existence of material weaknesses identified below.

 

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 14d-14(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting reliability and financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023. In making the assessment, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO – 2013) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, our Company’s internal control over financial reporting was ineffective.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As described above, the Company has concluded that the internal control over financial reporting is ineffective in 2023 because of the material weakness identified by our independent auditor.

 

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Adoption or Termination of Trading Arrangements by Directors or Officers

 

During the Company’s quarterly period ended December 31, 2023, no director or officer (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 16a-1(f)) of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” as defined in Regulation S-K Item 408.

Advisory Board

 

On April 2, 2021, the Company established an advisory board (“Advisory Board”) to provide guidance and advice to the directors and officers of the Company regarding technical and business matters. The advisory board has no voting powers. The advisory board is made up of two members including Harris Tulchin and Massimiliano Musina.

 

Harris Tulchin. Mr. Tulchin was appointed as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors on August 5, 2020.

 

Massimiliano Musina. On October 12, 2021, the Board appointed Massimiliano Musina to serve as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors

 

Each member of our Board of Directors serves for a term ending on the date of the annual meeting of stockholders following the annual meeting of the stockholders at which such director was elected. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each director shall serve until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her death, resignation or removal. Our officers are appointed by our Board to a term of one year and serve until their successors are duly appointed and qualified, or until the officer is removed from office. Our Board has no nominating, audit or compensation committees.

 

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

We do not have a standing nominating, compensation or audit committee. Rather, our full Board of Directors performs the functions of these committees. We do not believe it is necessary for our Board of Directors to appoint such committees because the volume of matters that come before our Board of Directors for consideration permits the directors to give sufficient time and attention to such matters to be involved in all decision making. Additionally, because our common stock is not listed for trading or quotation on a national securities exchange, we are not required to have such committees.

 

Director Nominations

 

Our full Board of Directors recommends candidates for nomination for election at the annual meeting of the stockholders. We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the Board of Directors considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our stockholders.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have not yet adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting. We expect that we will adopt a code of ethics in the near future.

 

58
 

 

Director Independence

 

We have one independent director (Massimiliano Musina), as such term is defined in the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market, at this time. The Company is not quoted on any exchange that requires director independence requirements.

 

Family Relationships

 

None.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

No executive officer, member of the Board of Directors or control person of our Company has been involved in any legal proceeding listed in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K in the past 10 years.

 

Board Leadership Structure and Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

 

We have not separated the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Amir Ben-Yohanan has served as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer since June 30, 2020. We believe that combining the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer allows for focused leadership of our organization which benefits us in our relationships with investors, customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies. We believe that consolidating the leadership of the Company under Mr. Ben-Yohanan is the appropriate leadership structure for our Company and that any risks inherent in that structure are balanced by the oversight of our other independent directors on our Board. However, no single leadership model is right for all companies and at all times. The Board recognizes that depending on the circumstances, other leadership models, such as the appointment of a lead independent director, might be appropriate. Accordingly, the Board may periodically review its leadership structure. In addition, following the completion of the offering, the Board will hold executive sessions in which only independent directors are present.

 

Our Board is generally responsible for the oversight of corporate risk in its review and deliberations relating to our activities. Our principal source of risk falls into two categories, financial and product commercialization. Our Board regularly reviews information regarding our cash position, liquidity and operations, as well as the risks associated with each. The Board regularly reviews plans, results and potential risks related to our business. The Board is also expected to oversee risk management as it relates to our compensation plans, policies and practices for all employees including executives and directors, particularly whether our compensation programs may create incentives for our employees to take excessive or inappropriate risks which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

 

Our Articles of Incorporation provides that our officers and directors will be indemnified by us to the fullest extent authorized by Nevada law, as it now exists or may in the future be amended. In addition, our articles of incorporation and section 138 of the Nevada Business Corporation Act provide that our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages to us for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors unless such breach involves intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law.

 

Our articles of incorporation also permit us to maintain insurance on behalf of any officer, director or employee for any liability arising out of his or her actions, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit such indemnification. We have purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.

 

59
 

 

These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

 

We believe that these provisions and the insurance are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.

2023 Equity Incentive Plan

 

On July 11, 2022, the Board and stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of the Company approved and adopted the Clubhouse Media Group, Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”).

 

A total of 75,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are authorized for issuance pursuant to the 2023 Plan.

 

Additionally, if any award issued pursuant to the 2023 Plan expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, is surrendered pursuant to an exchange program, as provided in the 2023 Plan, or, with respect to restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance units or performance shares, is forfeited to or repurchased by the Company due to the failure to vest, the unpurchased shares (or for awards other than stock options or stock appreciation rights the forfeited or repurchased shares) which were subject thereto will become available for future grant or sale under the 2023 Plan (unless the 2023 Plan has terminated). With respect to stock appreciation rights, only shares actually issued pursuant to a stock appreciation right will cease to be available under the 2023 Plan; all remaining shares under stock appreciation rights will remain available for future grant or sale under the 2023 Plan (unless the 2023 Plan has terminated). Shares that have actually been issued under the 2023 Plan under any award will not be returned to the 2023 Plan and will not become available for future distribution under the 2023 Plan; provided, however, that if shares issued pursuant to awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares or performance units are repurchased by the Company or are forfeited to the Company due to the failure to vest, such shares will become available for future grant under the 2023 Plan. Shares used to pay the exercise price of an award or to satisfy the tax withholdings related to an award will become available for future grant or sale under the 2023 Plan. To the extent an award under the 2023 Plan is paid out in cash rather than shares, such cash payment will not result in reducing the number of shares available for issuance under the 2023 Plan.

 

60
 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing and, subject to adjustment as provided in the 2023 Plan, the maximum number of shares that may be issued upon the exercise of incentive stock options will equal the aggregate share number stated above, plus, to the extent allowable under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations promulgated thereunder, any shares that become available for issuance under the 2023 Plan in accordance with the foregoing.

 

Plan Administration

 

The Board or one or more committees appointed by the Board will administer the 2023 Plan. In addition, if the Company determines it is desirable to qualify transactions under the 2023 Plan as exempt under Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, such transactions will be structured with the intent that they satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3. Subject to the provisions of the 2023 Plan, the administrator has the power to administer the 2023 Plan and make all determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the 2023 Plan, including the power to determine the fair market value of the Company’s common stock, select the service providers to whom awards may be granted, determine the number of shares covered by each award, approve forms of award agreements for use under the 2023 Plan, determine the terms and conditions of awards (including the exercise price, the time or times at which the awards may be exercised, any vesting acceleration or waiver or forfeiture restrictions and any restriction or limitation regarding any award or the shares relating thereto), construe and interpret the terms of the 2023 Plan and awards granted under it, prescribe, amend and rescind rules relating to the 2023 Plan, including creating sub-plans and modify or amend each award, including the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of awards (provided that no option or stock appreciation right will be extended past its original maximum term), and to allow a participant to defer the receipt of payment of cash or the delivery of shares that would otherwise be due to such participant under an award. The administrator also has the authority to allow participants the opportunity to transfer outstanding awards to a financial institution or other person or entity selected by the administrator and to institute an exchange program by which outstanding awards may be surrendered or cancelled in exchange for awards of the same type which may have a higher or lower exercise price or different terms, awards of a different type or cash, or by which the exercise price of an outstanding award is increased or reduced. The administrator’s decisions, interpretations and other actions are final and binding on all participants.

 

Eligibility

 

Awards under the 2023 Plan, other than incentive stock options, may be granted to employees (including officers) of the Company or a subsidiary, members of the Company’s Board, or consultants engaged to render bona fide services to the Company or a subsidiary. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees of the Company or a subsidiary.

 

Stock Options 

 

Stock options may be granted under the 2023 Plan. The exercise price of options granted under the 2023 Plan generally must at least be equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The term of each option will be as stated in the applicable award agreement; provided, however, that the term may be no more than 10 years from the date of grant. The administrator will determine the methods of payment of the exercise price of an option, which may include cash, shares or other property acceptable to the administrator, as well as other types of consideration permitted by applicable law. After the termination of service of an employee, director or consultant, they may exercise their option for the period of time stated in their option agreement. In the absence of a specified time in an award agreement, if termination is due to death or disability, the option will remain exercisable for 12 months. In all other cases, in the absence of a specified time in an award agreement, the option will remain exercisable for three months following the termination of service. An option may not be exercised later than the expiration of its term. Subject to the provisions of the 2023 Plan, the administrator determines the other terms of options.

 

61
 

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of the 2023 Plan to the contrary, the aggregate grant date fair value of all awards granted, under the 2023 Plan, to any director who is not an employee, during any fiscal year of the Company, taken together with any cash compensation paid to such director during such fiscal year, shall not exceed $300,000.

 

Stock Appreciation Rights

 

Stock appreciation rights may be granted under the 2023 Plan. Stock appreciation rights allow the recipient to receive the appreciation in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock between the exercise date and the date of grant. Stock appreciation rights may not have a term exceeding 10 years. After the termination of service of an employee, director or consultant, they may exercise their stock appreciation right for the period of time stated in their stock appreciation right agreement. In the absence of a specified time in an award agreement, if termination is due to death or disability, the stock appreciation rights will remain exercisable for 12 months. In all other cases, in the absence of a specified time in an award agreement, the stock appreciation rights will remain exercisable for three months following the termination of service. However, in no event may a stock appreciation right be exercised later than the expiration of its term. Subject to the provisions of the 2023 Plan, the administrator determines the other terms of stock appreciation rights, including when such rights become exercisable and whether to pay any increased appreciation in cash or with shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof, except that the per share exercise price for the shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of a stock appreciation right will be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant.

 

Restricted Stock

 

Restricted stock may be granted under the 2023 Plan. Restricted stock awards are grants of shares of the Company’s common stock that vest in accordance with terms and conditions established by the administrator. The administrator will determine the number of shares of restricted stock granted to any employee, director or consultant and, subject to the provisions of the 2023 Plan, will determine the terms and conditions of such awards. The administrator may impose whatever conditions to vesting it determines to be appropriate (for example, the administrator may set restrictions based on the achievement of specific performance goals or continued service to the Company); provided, however, that the administrator, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed. Recipients of restricted stock awards generally will have voting and dividend rights with respect to such shares upon grant without regard to vesting, unless the administrator provides otherwise. Shares of restricted stock that do not vest are subject to the Company’s right of repurchase or forfeiture.

 

Restricted Stock Units

 

RSUs may be granted under the 2023 Plan. RSUs are bookkeeping entries representing an amount equal to the fair market value of one share of the Company’s common stock. Subject to the provisions of the 2023 Plan, the administrator determines the terms and conditions of RSUs, including the vesting criteria and the form and timing of payment. The administrator may set vesting criteria based upon the achievement of Company-wide, divisional, business unit or individual goals (including continued employment or service), applicable federal or state securities laws or any other basis determined by the administrator in its discretion. The administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned RSUs in the form of cash, in shares of the Company’s common stock or in some combination thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the administrator, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the time at which any vesting requirements will be deemed satisfied.

 

Performance Units and Performance Shares

 

Performance units and performance shares may be granted under the 2023 Plan. Performance units and performance shares are awards that will result in a payment to a participant only if performance goals established by the administrator are achieved or the awards otherwise vest. The administrator will establish performance objectives or other vesting criteria in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number or the value of performance units and performance shares to be paid out to participants. The administrator may set performance objectives based on the achievement of Company-wide, divisional, business unit or individual goals (including continued employment or service), applicable federal or state securities laws or any other basis determined by the administrator in its discretion.

 

62
 

 

After the grant of a performance unit or performance share, the administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any performance criteria or other vesting provisions for such performance units or performance shares. Performance units shall have an initial dollar value established by the administrator on or prior to the grant date. Performance shares shall have an initial value equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned performance units or performance shares in the form of cash, in shares or in some combination thereof.

 

Non-Employee Directors

 

The 2023 Plan provides that all non-employee directors will be eligible to receive all types of awards (except for incentive stock options) under the 2023 Plan. The 2023 Plan includes a maximum limit of $300,000 of equity awards that may be granted to a non-employee director in any fiscal year. Any equity awards granted to a person for their services as an employee, or for their services as a consultant (other than as a non-employee director), will not count for purposes of the limitation. The maximum limit does not reflect the intended size of any potential compensation or equity awards to the Company’s non-employee directors.

 

Clawback

 

All awards under the 2023 Equity Plan are subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with (i) any clawback, forfeiture or other similar policy adopted by the Board or the Compensation Committee and as in effect from time to time; and (ii) applicable law.

 

2022 Equity Incentive Plan

 

Overview

 

The Board of Directors and shareholders holding a majority of the Company’s voting capital approved and adopted the Clubhouse Media Group, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”) on April 19, 2022. The 2022 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to an aggregate maximum of 26,000,000 shares of the common stock, subject to adjustment as described in the 2022 Plan. The 2022 Plan shall be administered by the Board or one or more committees appointed by the Board or another committee (“Administrator”). The Administrator, in its discretion, selects the individuals to whom awards may be granted, the time or times at which such awards are granted, and the terms of such awards. The 2022 Plan authorizes the Company to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share unit, cash awards, other awards, and performance-based awards. Awards may be granted to the Company’s officers, employees, directors and consultants.

 

The purpose of 2022 Plan is to promote the success of the Company and to increase stockholder value by providing an additional means through the grant of awards to attract, motivate, retain and reward selected employees and other eligible persons. The Board may, at any time, terminate or, from time to time, amend, modify or suspend this 2022 Plan, in whole or in part. To the extent then required by applicable law or any applicable stock exchange or required under the Internal Revenue Code to preserve the intended tax consequences of the 2022 Plan, or deemed necessary or advisable by the Board, the 2022 Plan and any amendment to the 2022 Plan shall be subject to stockholder approval. Unless earlier terminated by the Board, the 2022 Plan will terminate ten years from the date of adoption.

 

Authorized Shares

 

A total of 26,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are authorized for issuance pursuant to the 2022 Plan.

 

Additionally, if any award issued pursuant to the 2022 Plan expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, is surrendered pursuant to an exchange program, as provided in the 2022 Plan, or, with respect to restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance units or performance shares, is forfeited to or repurchased by the Company due to the failure to vest, the unpurchased shares (or for awards other than stock options or stock appreciation rights the forfeited or repurchased shares) which were subject thereto will become available for future grant or sale under the 2022 Plan (unless the 2022 Plan has terminated). With respect to stock appreciation rights, only shares actually issued pursuant to a stock appreciation right will cease to be available under the 2022 Plan; all remaining shares under stock appreciation rights will remain available for future grant or sale under the 2022 Plan (unless the 2022 Plan has terminated).

 

63
 

 

Shares that have actually been issued under the 2022 Plan under any award will not be returned to the 2022 Plan and will not become available for future distribution under the 2022 Plan; provided, however, that if shares issued pursuant to awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares or performance units are repurchased by the Company or are forfeited to the Company due to the failure to vest, such shares will become available for future grant under the 2022 Plan. Shares used to pay the exercise price of an award or to satisfy the tax withholdings related to an award will become available for future grant or sale under the 2022 Plan. To the extent an award under the 2022 Plan is paid out in cash rather than shares, such cash payment will not result in reducing the number of shares available for issuance under the 2022 Plan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of shares that may be issued upon the exercise of incentive stock options will equal the aggregate share number stated above, plus, to the extent allowable under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations promulgated thereunder, any shares that become available for issuance under the 2022 Plan in accordance with the foregoing.

 

Plan Administration

 

The Board or one or more committees appointed by the Board will administer the 2022 Plan. In addition, if the Company determines it is desirable to qualify transactions under the 2022 Plan as exempt under Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, such transactions will be structured with the intent that they satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3.

The administrator also has the authority to allow participants the opportunity to transfer outstanding awards to a financial institution or other person or entity selected by the administrator and to institute an exchange program by which outstanding awards may be surrendered or cancelled in exchange for awards of the same type which may have a higher or lower exercise price or different terms, awards of a different type or cash, or by which the exercise price of an outstanding award is increased or reduced.

In all other cases, in the absence of a specified time in an award agreement, the stock appreciation rights will remain exercisable for three months following the termination of service. However, in no event may a stock appreciation right be exercised later than the expiration of its term. Subject to the provisions of the 2022 Plan, the administrator determines the other terms of stock appreciation rights, including when such rights become exercisable and whether to pay any increased appreciation in cash or with shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof, except that the per share exercise price for the shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of a stock appreciation right will be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant.

 

Restricted Stock

 

Restricted stock may be granted under the 2022 Plan. Restricted stock awards are grants of shares of the Company’s common stock that vest in accordance with terms and conditions established by the administrator. The administrator will determine the number of shares of restricted stock granted to any employee, director or consultant and, subject to the provisions of the 2022 Plan, will determine the terms and conditions of such awards. The administrator may impose whatever conditions to vesting it determines to be appropriate (for example, the administrator may set restrictions based on the achievement of specific performance goals or continued service to the Company); provided, however, that the administrator, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed. Recipients of restricted stock awards generally will have voting and dividend rights with respect to such shares upon grant without regard to vesting, unless the administrator provides otherwise. Shares of restricted stock that do not vest are subject to the Company’s right of repurchase or forfeiture.

 

Restricted Stock Units

 

RSUs may be granted under the 2022 Plan. RSUs are bookkeeping entries representing an amount equal to the fair market value of one share of the Company’s common stock. Subject to the provisions of the 2022 Plan, the administrator determines the terms and conditions of RSUs, including the vesting criteria and the form and timing of payment. The administrator may set vesting criteria based upon the achievement of Company-wide, divisional, business unit or individual goals (including continued employment or service), applicable federal or state securities laws or any other basis determined by the administrator in its discretion. The administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned RSUs in the form of cash, in shares of the Company’s common stock or in some combination thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the administrator, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the time at which any vesting requirements will be deemed satisfied.

 

Performance Units and Performance Shares

 

Performance units and performance shares may be granted under the 2022 Plan. Performance units and performance shares are awards that will result in a payment to a participant only if performance goals established by the administrator are achieved or the awards otherwise vest. The administrator will establish performance objectives or other vesting criteria in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number or the value of performance units and performance shares to be paid out to participants. The administrator may set performance objectives based on the achievement of Company-wide, divisional, business unit or individual goals (including continued employment or service), applicable federal or state securities laws or any other basis determined by the administrator in its discretion. After the grant of a performance unit or performance share, the administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any performance criteria or other vesting provisions for such performance units or performance shares. Performance units shall have an initial dollar value established by the administrator on or prior to the grant date. Performance shares shall have an initial value equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned performance units or performance shares in the form of cash, in shares or in some combination thereof.

Non-Employee Directors

 

The 2022 Plan provides that all non-employee directors will be eligible to receive all types of awards (except for incentive stock options) under the 2022 Plan. The 2022 Plan includes a maximum limit of $300,000 of equity awards that may be granted to a non-employee director in any fiscal year. For purposes of this limitation, the value of equity awards is based on the grant date fair value (determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States). Any equity awards granted to a person for their services as an employee, or for their services as a consultant (other than as a non-employee director), will not count for purposes of the limitation. The maximum limit does not reflect the intended size of any potential compensation or equity awards to the Company’s non-employee directors.

 

Non-transferability of Awards

 

Unless the administrator provides otherwise, the 2022 Plan generally does not allow for the transfer of awards and only the recipient of an award may exercise an award during their lifetime. If the administrator makes an award transferrable, such award will contain such additional terms and conditions as the administrator deems appropriate.

 

Certain Adjustments

 

In the event of certain changes in the Company’s capitalization, to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits available under the 2022 Plan, the administrator will adjust the number and class of shares that may be delivered under the 2022 Plan or the number, and price of shares covered by each outstanding award and the numerical share limits set forth in the 2022 Plan.

 

Dissolution or Liquidation

 

In the event of the Company’s proposed liquidation or dissolution, the administrator will notify participants as soon as practicable and all awards will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed transaction.

 

Merger or Change in Control

 

The 2022 Plan provides that in the event of the Company’s merger with or into another corporation or entity or a “change in control” (as defined in the 2022 Plan), each outstanding award will be treated as the administrator determines, including, without limitation, that (i) awards will be assumed, or substantially equivalent awards will be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof) with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; (ii) upon written notice to a participant, that the participant’s awards will terminate upon or immediately prior to the consummation of such merger or change in control; (iii) outstanding awards will vest and become exercisable, realizable or payable, or restrictions applicable to an award will lapse, in whole or in part, prior to or upon consummation of such merger or change in control and, to the extent the administrator determines, terminate upon or immediately prior to the effectiveness of such merger or change in control; (iv) (A) the termination of an award in exchange for an amount of cash or property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such award or realization of the participant’s rights as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction the administrator determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such award or realization of the participant’s rights, then such award may be terminated by the Company without payment) or (B) the replacement of such award with other rights or property selected by the administrator in its sole discretion; or (v) any combination of the foregoing.

The administrator will not be obligated to treat all awards, all awards a participant holds, or all awards of the same type, similarly. In the event that awards (or portion thereof) are not assumed or substituted for in the event of a merger or change in control, the participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise all of their outstanding options and stock appreciation rights, including shares as to which such awards would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on restricted stock and RSUs will lapse and, with respect to awards with performance-based vesting, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at 100% of target levels and all other terms and conditions met, in all cases, unless specifically provided otherwise under the applicable award agreement or other written agreement between the participant and the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries or parents, as applicable. If an option or stock appreciation right is not assumed or substituted in the event of a merger or change in control, the administrator will notify the participant in writing or electronically that the option or stock appreciation right will be exercisable for a period of time determined by the administrator in its sole discretion and the vested option or stock appreciation right will terminate upon the expiration of such period.

 

For awards granted to an outside director, the outside director will fully vest in and have the right to exercise all of their outstanding options and stock appreciation rights, all restrictions on restricted stock and RSUs will lapse and, for awards with performance-based vesting, unless specifically provided for in the award agreement, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at 100% of target levels and all other terms and conditions met.

 

Clawback Policy

 

On March 5, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a Compensation Recovery Policy (the “Policy”). The Policy is intended to further the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy and to comply with applicable law by providing for the reasonably prompt recovery of certain incentive-based compensation received by executive officers in the event of an accounting restatement. The Policy is intended to comply with, and will be interpreted in a manner consistent with, Section 10D of the Exchange Act, with Exchange Act Rule 10D-1 and with the Nasdaq listing standards.

 

Pursuant to the Policy, if the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance by the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period (an “Accounting Restatement”), then the Compensation Committee must determine the Excess Compensation (as hereinafter defined), if any, that must be recovered. The Company’s obligation to recover Excess Compensation is not dependent on if or when the restated financial statements are filed. The Company must recover Excess Compensation reasonably promptly and executive officers are required to repay Excess Compensation to the Company, subject to the terms of the Policy.

 

The Policy applies to certain incentive-based compensation that is received on or after March 5, 2024, during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the Accounting Restatement determination date, as provided in the Policy (the “Covered Period”) while the Comp
