On October 18, 2021, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Inova Design Solutions Ltd, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales and headquartered in the United Kingdom, doing business as Bodytrak® (“Bodytrak”), and the other parties thereto, pursuant to which Bodytrak agreed to issue and sell to the Company 508,905 cumulative convertible series A shares of Bodytrak (“Series A Shares”) in exchange for a payment by the Company of £2,000,000 ($2.8 million). The closing of this minority investment transaction occurred on October 18, 2021.

 

Bodytrak provides wearable monitoring solutions for customers in industrial health, safety, defense and first responder markets wanting to achieve better employee health and performance. Bodytrak’s solution is provided as a platform as a service (PaaS), delivering real-time data and cloud-based analytics, and hardware that includes a patented earpiece for, physiological monitoring and audio communications.

 

The Series A Shares issued to the Company at the closing represent approximately 11.43% of Bodytrak’s total share capital. Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, the Company may also elect, within 30 months of the date of the initial investment, to acquire up to an additional 381,679 Series A Shares of Bodytrak for £1,500,000 (approximately $2.0 million at current exchange rates) assuming all 381,679 Series A Shares are acquired by the Company), which would result in the Company owning an aggregate of 18.42% of Bodytrak’s share capital, assuming no other shares are issued by Bodytrak. The investment in Bodytrak will be accounted for under the equity method given our board representation and the resulting ability to exercise significant influene. A substantial portion of our investment represents differences in our investment and our share of the underlying recognized net assets of Bodytrak. These differences are predominately attributable to non-amortizing intangible assets, including internally developed intellectual property, of Bodytrak.

 

For the period October 18, 2021 (date of investment) through January 31, 2022, the Company recognized a loss of $0.1 million as the Company’s share of Bodytrak’s net loss. The loss is reflected in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of income.
