Sale of Minehut

On February 29, 2024, the Company sold its Minehut Assets to GamerSafer in a transaction approved by the board of directors of the Company. Pursuant to the GS Agreement entered into by and between GamerSafer, the Company will receive $1.0 million of purchase consideration for the Minehut Assets, which amount will be paid by GamerSafer in revenue and royalty sharing over a multiple-year period, as described in the GS Agreement. Other than with respect to the GS Agreement, there is no relationship between the Company or its affiliates with GamerSafer or its affiliates. The transaction allows Super League to streamline its position in partnering with major brands to build, market, and operate 3D experiences across multiple immersive platforms, including open gaming powerhouses like Minecraft, and aligns with the Company’s cost improvement initiatives. Super League and GamerSafer will maintain a commercial relationship which ensures that Minehut can remain an ongoing destination available to Super League’s partners. The carrying value of Minehut related assets totaled $475,000 as of February 26, 2024, comprised of total carrying costs of $1,671,000, net of accumulated amortization of $1,196,000, and historically were included in intangible assets, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Company recorded a receivable for the total estimated purchase consideration totaling $619,000, of which $224,000 is included in prepaid expense and other current assets and $395,000 is included in other receivables in noncurrent assets, and recognized a gain on sale of the Minehut Assets totaling $144,000, which is included in other income in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Purchase Consideration in the GS Agreement is variable pursuant to the guidance set forth in ASC 606. Under ASC 606, purchase consideration is variable if the amount the Company will receive is contingent on future events occurring or not occurring, even though the amount itself is fixed. As such, the Company estimated the amount of consideration to which the Company will be entitled, in exchange for transferring the Minehut Assets to GamerSafer, utilizing the expected value method which is the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration outcomes over the applicable contractual payment period, resulting in an estimated receivable of $619,000. Amounts collected over and above the estimated purchase consideration recorded at contract inception, if any, will be recognized as additional gains on the sale of Minehut Assets when realized in future periods, up to the $1.0 million stated contractual amount of purchase consideration. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company calculated royalties due from GamerSafer pursuant to the GS Agreement totaling $154,000 and $163,000, respectively.

In the event GamerSafer does not make royalty or shortfall payments in the amount of $1.0 million by December 31, 2028 (“Payment Deadline”), GamerSafer shall assign and transfer all of the purchased assets back to the Company. In the event that GamerSafer determines in good faith that the acquisition of the assets and the operation of GamerSafer’s related Minehut business becomes operationally unsustainable for any reason, GamerSafer reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to terminate operations (the “Termination”). In the event a Termination occurs prior to the Purchase Consideration being paid in full, then in such event GamerSafer shall promptly assign all Minehut Assets and back to the Company.
