Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On September 16, 2022, Code Chain New Continent Limited (the “Company”) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Shanghai Highlight Media Co., Ltd., a PRC company (“Target”), and all the shareholders of Target (“Target Shareholders”).

 

Pursuant to the SPA, the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of 9,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”), valued at $0.25 per share, to the Target Shareholders, in exchange for Target’s and Target Shareholders’ agreement to enter into certain agreements (the “VIE Agreements”) with Makesi IoT Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“WFOE”), the Company’s indirectly owned subsidiary, to establish a VIE (variable interest entity) structure (the “Acquisition”). A “Variable Interest Entity” does not describe a legal relationship; it is an accounting concept. Under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP), if through contractual arrangements, Entity A will absorb the losses or receive potentially significant benefits from the operations of Entity B, then the financial results and balance sheet of Entity B should be consolidated with the financial results and balance sheet in Entity A’s consolidated financial statements. We have evaluated the guidance in FASB ASC 810 and determined that, after the VIE Agreements are signed, WFOE will be the primary beneficiary of Target for accounting purposes, because, pursuant to the VIE Agreements, once signed, Target shall pay service fees to WFOE in the amount of 100% of the Target’s after-tax net income, while WFOE shall be obligated to absorb all of losses of Target. Accordingly, under U.S. GAAP, WFOE will treat Target as a consolidated affiliated entity and will consolidate the financial results and balance sheet of Target in the consolidated financial statements under U.S. GAAP.

 

Target and the Target Shareholders do not have other relationship with the Company, its subsidiaries, or any directors or officers or employees of the Company and its subsidiaries other than the Acquisition.

 

The foregoing description of the SPA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the SPA, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1
