NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

GlassBridge Enterprises, Inc. (“GlassBridge”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) owns and operates an asset management business through various subsidiaries.

The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of GlassBridge are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, these adjustments consist of normal and recurring items. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of full year results. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes are presented in accordance with the requirements for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in our annual Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes presented in accordance with the requirements of Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and entities in which the Company owns or controls fifty percent or more of the voting shares or interest in such entity, and has the right to control. The results of entities disposed of are included in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements up to the date of the disposal and, where appropriate, these operations have been reflected as discontinued operations. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the interim results reported.

The preparation of the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the reporting periods. Despite our intention to establish accurate estimates and use reasonable assumptions, actual results may differ from our estimates.

The December 31, 2022 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data were derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2023.

Note 2 — New Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Note 3 —Income (Loss) per Common Share

Basic income per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Unvested restricted stock and treasury shares are excluded from the calculation of weighted average number of common shares outstanding in all cases. Once restricted stock vests, it is included in our common shares outstanding.

Diluted income per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted average shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of our stock-based compensation plans, using the “treasury stock” method.

The Company has 1,360 shares of outstanding and exercisable stock options that have been excluded because they would be anti-dilutive. See Note 7 –Stock-Based Compensation for additional information on the stock options.

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth the computation of weighted average basic and diluted income per share (unaudited):

Note 4 — Supplemental Balance Sheet Information

Additional supplemental balance sheet information is provided as follows:

Other current assets were $0.3 million and $0.0 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Other current liabilities were $0.4 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and include accruals for payroll expense of $0.2 million and insurance and corporate liability accruals of $0.2 million.

Note 5 — Arrive Investment

Arrive LLC (“Arrive”) is a company that was formed in partnership with Roc Nation with the intent of building a new platform and brand focused on early stage, high growth opportunities. Roc Nation is a full-service entertainment company, inclusive of artist and athlete management, label, publishing, touring, film/TV and new ventures. Arrive seeks to leverage these relationships to invest in proprietary opportunities and provide services including, but not limited to, marketing, promotion or strategic advice for its portfolio investments. The Company holds two separate Arrive investments described below.

●

Investment in Arrive of $12.5 million and $12.8 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021, respectively, represents an investment in the Arrive operating company, Arrive I LLC. The Company’s investment entitles the Company to appoint one of five Arrive Board members and gives the Company priority for distributions of current income and investment proceeds. In addition, the Company is entitled to receive between 18% and 20% of all general partner consideration on pooled investment vehicles managed by Arrive, whether characterized as management fees or incentive fees.

●

Other assets of $0.6 million and $0.5 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, represent an investment in the Arrive Opportunities Fund I, LP, managed by an affiliate of Arrive I LLC.

The Company did not record any unrealized gains or losses during the three months ended March 31, 2023 or 2022 related to these investments. The Company took a distribution of $0.3 million from the Arrive operating company, Arrive I LLC, in the form of marketable securities during the three months ended, March 31, 2023. The Company is not required to contribute additional capital to either of the investments.

Historically, the Company accounted for such investments under the cost method of accounting. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-01 in the first quarter of 2018 effectively eliminated the cost method of accounting, and the carrying value of this investment is written down, or impaired, to fair value when a decline in value is considered to be other-than-temporary. Our strategic investment in equity securities does not have a readily determinable fair value; therefore, the new guidance was adopted prospectively. As of March 31, 2023, there were no indicators of impairment for this investment. The Company will assess the investment for potential impairment, quarterly.

Note 6 — Debt

Debt and notes payable consists of the following:

Schedule of Debt and Notes Payable


	March 31,
	2023		December 31,
	(unaudited)		2022
	(in millions)
GHI LLC note payable	$	3.8	$	3.7
Other liabilities		0.2		0.2
Total long term debt	$	4.0	$	3.9

The Company entered into a Term Loan and Security Agreement (“GHI Loan Agreement”) with Gazellek Holdings I, LLC (“GHI LLC”), pursuant to which GHI LLC lent $3,450,000 to the Company on August 6, 2021. The loan bears in-kind interest, quarterly, at the annual rate of 7%, which has the effect of compounding the interest and adding it to the principal amount. The loan is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and those of all of its subsidiaries, which are required to guarantee the loan, and matures August 2, 2024.

The Company is required to prepay the loan upon receiving proceeds from future indebtedness exceeding $5,000,000 (other than indebtedness that is junior to the loan), or if the Company issues any capital stock (provided that the Company is allowed to retain up to 20% of the proceeds from such issuance). The GHI Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and events of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the loan bears interest at a rate 5% above the then-effective interest rate and, at GHI LLC’s option, is payable either in cash or in cash and shares of Company common stock, valued at market, equal to up to 10% of the outstanding principal amount of the loan. A default fee equal to 0.5% of the outstanding principal applies if any default exists for 10 days or more.

Scheduled maturities of the Company’s long-term debt, as they exist as of March 31, 2023, in each of the next five fiscal years and thereafter are as follows:

Note 7 — Stock-Based Compensation

We have stock-based compensation awards consisting of stock options under the 2011 Incentive Plan, which is described in detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023, there are no remaining shares available for grant under the 2011 Incentive Plan. No further shares were available for grant under any other stock incentive plan. The Company did not have any stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

As of March 31, 2023, options to purchase 1,360 shares are outstanding and exercisable, and the aggregate intrinsic value of all outstanding stock options was $0.0 million. No options were granted or exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

As of March 31, 2023, there is no unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding stock options.

Note 8 — Income Taxes

For interim income tax reporting, we are required to estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to year-to-date pre-tax income (loss), excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded income tax from continuing operations of $0.0 million, on a loss of $1.1 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded income tax from continuing operations of $0.0 million on a loss of $0.8 million. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a valuation allowance on various deferred tax assets.

We file income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions that are subject to review by various U.S and state taxing authorities. Our U.S. federal income tax returns for 2019 to present, and certain state returns from 2018 to present, are open to examination.

Note 9 — Shareholders’ Equity

Treasury Stock

On November 14, 2016, our Board authorized a share repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to 2,500 shares of common stock, from time to time, using a variety of methods, which may include open market transactions and privately negotiated transactions.

Table of Contents

The Company did not purchase any shares during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Since the November 14, 2016 authorization, we have repurchased 780 shares of common stock for $0.3 million, and, as of March 31, 2023, we had remaining authorization to repurchase 1,720 additional shares.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has 2,927 shares of treasury stock, acquired at an average price of $8,496.47 per share.

Stock Warrants

In connection with the GHI Loan Agreement, the Company issued to GHI LLC, for $120,000, a Common Stock Purchase Warrant entitling GHI LLC to purchase 4.8% of GLAE’s outstanding common stock, at the price of $0.01 per share, and a second Common Stock Purchase Warrant entitling GHI LLC to purchase 5.2% of GLAE’s outstanding common stock, at the price of $169.62 per share. The second warrant is automatically canceled if the Company consummates a Sale Transaction that is sourced other than by GHI LLC or its affiliates. A “Sale Transaction” is a merger, consolidation, combination or similar transaction (in one or a series of related transactions), such that the beneficial owners of shares of Company common stock immediately prior to the transaction or transactions will, immediately after such transaction or transactions, beneficially own less than a majority of the shares of common stock or outstanding equity of the surviving corporation (on a fully diluted basis). Each warrant expires August 2, 2026, is exercisable net of proceeds received; entitles its holder to receive certain distributions on the Company’s common stock, as if the warrant had been exercised; and bears registration rights respecting the underlying common stock. The first warrant purports to give its holder voting rights, as if the warrant had been exercised. The sale was exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Sec. 4(a)(2), as not involving any public offering, because no general solicitation was involved, and GHI LLC is an accredited professional investor, which agreed to accept restricted securities. See Note 6 – Debt for more information on the GHI Loan Agreement.

Note 10 — Segment Information

As of March 31, 2023, the asset management business is our only reportable segment.

We evaluate segment performance based on revenue and operating loss. The operating loss reported in our segments excludes corporate and other unallocated amounts. Although such amounts are excluded from the business segment results, they are included in reported consolidated results. The corporate and unallocated operating loss includes costs that are not allocated to the business segments in management’s evaluation of segment performance, such as litigation settlement expense, corporate expense and other expenses.

Net revenue, operating loss from operations and assets by segment were as follows (unaudited):

Note 11 — Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies

Plaintiff Cypress Holdings, III L.P. (“Cypress”) filed an action against GlassBridge Enterprises, Inc. in New York Supreme Court, which was removed to the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, on February 14, 2022, captioned Cypress Holdings, III L.P. v. Sport-BLX, Inc. et al., 1:22-cv-01243-LGS (S.D.N.Y.). In its Second Amended Complaint, Cypress purports to assert claims against SportBLX, Mr. Hall, and Mr. De Perio for securities fraud and related issues and seeks compensatory damages, punitive damages and attorneys’ fees, in connection with solicitations of investments in SportBLX. Cypress also purports to allege that GlassBridge Enterprises, Inc. is liable for unjust enrichment, tortious interference with contract, aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty and minority shareholder oppression. Cypress also purports to assert claims against Messrs. Strauss and Ruchalski for breach of fiduciary duty and corporate waste, as well as additional claims against Clinton Group Inc., Cesar Baez, Christopher Johnson, and Sport-BLX Securities, Inc. arising from solicitations of investments in SportBLX.

The matter is presently in the discovery phase and GlassBridge Enterprises, Inc., and Messrs. Strauss and Ruchalski, intend to defend themselves vigorously. As of December 31, 2021, GlassBridge Enterprises, Inc. sold all of its interest in SportBLX and SportBLX ceased to be a subsidiary.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company believes that an outcome resulting in a loss is remote and does not have any accruals related to the matter.

Indemnification Obligations

In the normal course of business, we periodically enter into agreements that incorporate general indemnification language. Performance under these indemnities would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a supportable third-party claim. There has historically been no material losses related to such indemnifications. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, estimated liability amounts associated with such indemnifications were not material.

Note 12 — Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, or the exit price in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A three-level hierarchy is used for fair value measurements based upon the observability of the inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Level 1 measurements consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 measurements include quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 measurements include significant unobservable inputs. A financial instrument’s level within the hierarchy is based on the highest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at their estimated fair value on a recurring basis, including cash and cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities.

The following tables present investments measured at fair value:

Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2023, the end of the period covered by this report, the Chief Executive Officer, Daniel Strauss, and the Chief Financial Officer, Francis Ruchalski, have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023, based on the guidelines established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO 2013). Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, management concluded there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

See Note 11 - Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies in our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 herein for further information regarding our legal proceedings.

The Company is subject to various lawsuits, claims and other legal matters that arise in the ordinary course of conducting business (including litigation relating to our legacy businesses and discontinued operations). All such matters involve uncertainty and, accordingly, outcomes that cannot be predicted with assurance. As of March 31, 2023, we are unable to estimate with certainty the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or financial impact that we may incur with respect to these matters. It is reasonably possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, could materially affect our financial condition, results of the operations and cash flows. Similarly, the Company is the plaintiff in a number of matters in the United States and elsewhere where the potential outcomes could be materially beneficial to the Company. These outcomes are also uncertain.
