As part of the merger, the net liabilities existing in the company as of the date of the merger totaling approximately $2,400 were converted to equity as part of this transaction. The prior owners of Blue Star Foods Corp. received 750,000 shares of common stock as part of this transaction, and various service providers received 265,000 shares as compensation for their work on the transaction resulting in and expense and additional paid in capital of $530,001. Additionally, there were 725 shares of Series A Preferred stock and 181,250 warrants issued to private placement investors for total capital contribution of $725,000, 688 shares of Series A Preferred stock and 172,000 warrants issued for settlement with prior investors which had a fair value of $688,000 and $81,353 respectively.

In addition, John Keeler & Co., Inc. will have control of the combined entity through control of the Board by designating all four of the board seats. Additionally, all of John Keeler & Co., Inc.’s officers and senior executive positions will continue on as management of the combined entity after consummation of the Merger. For accounting purposes, John Keeler & Co., Inc. will be deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction has been treated as a recapitalization of Blue Star Foods Corp. Accordingly, John Keeler & Co., Inc.’s assets, liabilities and results of operations are the historical financial statements of the Company, and John Keeler & Co., Inc.’s assets, liabilities and results of operations have been consolidated with Blue Star Foods Corp. effective as of the date of the closing of the Merger.
