NOTE 16: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 1, 2021, we purchased an additional 13 million shares of Cash Converters for $2.5 million. This purchase increased our total ownership in Cash Converters to 236,702,991 shares, representing a 37.72% ownership interest. Additionally, in October 2021, we received a cash dividend of $1.7 million from Cash Converters.
On October 6, 2021, the Company invested $15.0 million in exchange for a non-redeemable voting participating preferred equity interest in Founders One, LLC (“Founders”), a newly-formed entity with one other member. Founders used that $15.0 million to acquire an equity interest in Simple Management Group, Inc. (“SMG”) which owns and operates more than 20 pawn stores principally in the Caribbean region, with plans to build and acquire more stores in that region. This investment in Founders is accounted for utilizing the measurement alternative within ASC 321, Investments — Equity Securities.
