8. Subsequent Events

The Company’s Board of Directors approved a 1-for-12 reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of Common Stock, par value $0.02 per share (the “Common Stock”) such that every holder of Common Stock receives one share of Common Stock for every twelve shares of Common Stock held (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The close of business on July 15, 2021 (the “Effective Time”) was designated by the Board of Directors as the record date for effectuating the Reverse Stock Split and the amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation approved by the Company’s stockholders was effective as of such record date.

No fractional shares of common stock were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, in lieu of any fractional shares to which a stockholder of record would otherwise be entitled as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the Company will pay cash (without interest) equal to such fractional share multiplied by $0.70 which was the 90-day Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) of our common stock on the OTCQB for the period immediately preceding the Effective Time (with such average closing sales prices being adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split). After the Reverse Stock Split, a stockholder otherwise entitled to a fractional interest will not have any voting, dividend or other rights with respect to such fractional interest except to receive payment as described above. Stockholders owning fractional shares will be paid out in cash for such fractional shares.

On July 20, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) pursuant to that certain Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated April 20, 2021 with National Consumer Title Insurance Company, a Florida corporation (“NCTIC”), National Consumer Title Group LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“NCTG”), Southern Fidelity Insurance Company, a Florida corporation (“SFIC”), Southern Fidelity Managing Agency, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“SFMA”), and Preferred Managing Agency, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“PMA” and together with SFIC and SFMA, each, a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”). On such date, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased 100% of the stock of NCTIC and 100% of the membership interest in NCTG for $5.489 million, subject to a customary post-closing working capital adjustment (the “Purchase Price”). Pursuant to the mechanics in the Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Price was determined at closing by taking the $5.5 million purchase price originally agreed to under the Purchase Agreement, subtracting the debt of NCTIC and NCTG, adding payment for $75,000 of the transaction expenses of the Sellers and, adding a closing related working capital adjustment. The Company funded the Purchase Price from cash on hand. Also at closing, the Company and Sellers agreed that the economic benefits and burdens of the ownership of the equity, including for accounting and tax purposes, be transferred as of 12:01 am on July 1, 2021. For all other purposes, the effective time of the transfer remained July 20, 2021.

Pursuant to the Acquisition, the Company effectively purchased (i) 100% of the stock of NCTIC, a Florida title insurer formed in 2017, and (ii) a 100% membership interest in NCTG, which owns a 50% non-controlling membership interest in Title Agency Ventures, LLC (“TAV”), and by virtue thereof, owns 50% of the membership interest in Omega National Title Agency (“Omega”), also a Florida based title agency. NCTIC provides title insurance, closing and/or escrow services and similar or related services in the state of Florida in connection with residential real estate transactions. Omega operates 10 title agency locations in Florida providing title agency services for residential and commercial real estate transactions.
