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 and a sports technology platform through a 50.1% ownership investment in Sport-BLX, Inc. (“SportBLX”) (together the “Business”).

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, 2020 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, 2020, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 4, 2021.

The Company’s legacy business segments, Consumer Storage and Accessories and Tiered Storage and Security Solutions (the “Legacy Businesses”) and the Nexsan Business, no longer have any activity for any periods presented. Our continuing operations in each period presented represents our “Asset Management Business,” as well as corporate expenses and activities not directly attributable to our Legacy Businesses or the Nexsan Business. Assets and liabilities directly associated with our Legacy Businesses and Nexsan Business and that are not part of our ongoing operations are included in other assets and other investments.

In January 2021, Adara Enterprises, Corp. (“Adara” or “AEC”) received notice from ESW Holdings, Inc. (“ESW”) that Adara had defaulted on its obligation to pay at maturity, i.e., on January 20, 2021, $11,000,000 in principal and all other amounts due to ESW under a Loan and Security Agreement (“ESW Loan Agreement”), dated July 21, 2020. Pursuant to the ESW Loan Agreement, AEC gave to ESW a security interest in all of AEC’s assets, and GlassBridge pledged to ESW all of GlassBridge’s AEC stock and 30% of GlassBridge’s SportBLX stock. The Loan Agreement provides that, upon AEC’s default, AEC may elect to cooperate with ESW to effect a prearranged reorganization of AEC in bankruptcy, pursuant to which ESW would acquire all equity in AEC, as reorganized, and indirectly certain of AEC’s assets, most notably property and equipment consisting of quantitative trading software, as well as deferred tax assets resulting from AEC’s net operating losses. Within the agreement, ESW agreed to provide $8.5 million to the bankruptcy estate to cover costs of administering the AEC bankruptcy case and to satisfy the claims of valid creditors, with any residual funds to be paid to GlassBridge. The $8.5 million was to be paid upon the effectiveness of AEC’s Chapter 11 plan (less any amounts advanced to AEC in the form of a DIP loan) and maintained awaiting outside creditor claims. Neither GlassBridge nor AEC can predict at this time how much, if any, of the $8.5 million will remain after such creditor claims and other administrative expenses.

8

AEC’s prepackaged Chapter 11 plan of reorganization was confirmed at a hearing on June 9, 2021 and became effective on June 15, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). Upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, ESW deposited $8.5 million, less $325,000 that ESW had previously funded in the form of a post-petition debtor-in-possession loan, into a distribution trust established pursuant to AEC’s Chapter 11 plan to fund the costs of administration associated with AEC’s bankruptcy case and to satisfy valid creditor claims. Also on the Effective Date, by order of the Bankruptcy Court, GlassBridge shares of AEC were terminated, and shares in reorganized AEC were issued as follows: 50% of the equity in reorganized AEC was issued to ESW, and the other 50% of the equity in reorganized AEC was issued to ESW’s affiliate, ESW Capital LLC. Finally, on the Effective Date, GlassBridge received a release of its guaranty obligations to ESW as well as a license to use AEC’s quantitative trading software in connection with the sports industry.

Adara has historically been one of the subsidiaries through which the company has operated its asset management business. The Company, however, remains committed to its asset management business and holds various investments and assets, including Arrive LLC (“Arrive”), in other subsidiaries. The default on the ESW loan agreement is expected to provide additional liquidity for the Business though the prearranged bankruptcy plan described above.

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”). ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be not applicable to the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates, amends, and adds disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The amended and new disclosure requirements primarily relate to Level 3 fair value measurements. For the Company, the ASU was effective as of January 1, 2020. The removal and amendment of certain disclosures may be early adopted with retrospective application while the new disclosure requirements are to be applied prospectively. As this ASU relates only to disclosures, there was no impact to the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which makes minor changes to the disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The ASU requires a retrospective transition approach. For the Company, the ASU was effective as of January 1, 2021. As this ASU relates only to disclosures, there was no impact to the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

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. Since the exercise price of our stock options is greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the period, we did not include dilutive common equivalent shares for these instruments in the computation of diluted net income per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

9

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

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended

Note 4 — Supplemental Balance Sheet Information

Additional supplemental balance sheet information is provided as follows:

Property and equipment, as of December 31, 2020, consisted of quantitative trading software purchased from GEH Capital, LLC (“GEH”), a related party. The asset was depreciated on a straight-line basis over a useful life of three years. Net property and equipment of $1.5 million, as of Dec 31, 2020, consisted of the purchased cost of $1.7 million, less accumulated depreciation of $0.2 million. The residual values, useful life and depreciation method were reviewed at each financial year end to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of property and equipment. See Note 13 – Related Party Transactions for more information relating to the software purchase.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the net carrying amount is recognized in the statement of operations.

In January 2021, AEC received notice from ESW that Adara had defaulted on its obligations under the ESW Loan Agreement. On April 22, 2021, AEC filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. As part of AEC’s prepackaged Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, which became effective on June 15, 2021, ESW acquired the Company’s interest in the quantitative trading software, and GlassBridge received a license to use the software in connection with the sports industry.

Total assets, as of September 30, 2021, include a $12.8 million investment in Arrive. Historically, we 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 September 30, 2021, there were no indicators of impairment for this investment. The Company will assess the investment for potential impairment, quarterly.

Other assets of $0.2 million, as of September 30, 2021, include a separate investment in Arrive. The Company uses the same method of accounting for this investment as its other investment in Arrive, described in the prior paragraph.

Other current liabilities, as of September 30, 2021, include accruals for payroll expense of $0.7 million. Other current liabilities, as of December 31, 2020, include accruals for interest expense of $1.2 million, of which $0.1 million is related party.

10

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had a note payable of $11.0 million to ESW. As part of AEC’s prepackaged Chapter 11 plan of reorganization which became effective on June 15, 2021, GlassBridge received a release of its guaranty obligations to ESW, and the note payable is no longer a liability of the Company.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had a $0.4 million loan (“Bank Loan”) from Signature Bank (the “Bank”), pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”). On June 30, 2021, the Company received notice that the $0.4 million Bank Loan from the Bank was forgiven in full.

Stock purchase agreements as of December 31, 2020 include notes payable of $12.1 million and $5.5 million to George E. Hall and Joseph A. De Perio, respectively, for shares of SportBLX common stock.

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 at the annual rate of 7%, 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 of 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 in the case of any default existing for 10 days or more.

In 2019, the Company purchased from Messrs. Hall and De Perio, both of whom are related parties, shares of SportBLX common stock in exchange for cash and promissory notes (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”). The Stock Purchase Agreement notes payable bear interest at a 5% annual rate and mature on December 12, 2022. The interest under the notes is payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter or, at the Company’s option, in shares of common stock of the Company, at a price reflecting market value. Interest of $508,000 due under the agreement is offset due to the termination of a Credit Facility Letter Agreement with Clinton Special Opportunities Fund LLC (“CSO”), a related party. See Note 13 – Related Party Transactions for more information.

On July 31, 2021, Messrs. Hall and De Perio agreed to accept $2,354,736 and $1,060,264, respectively, from the Company in satisfaction of its obligations to them in the amounts of $12,116,718 and $5,455,782, respectively. Accordingly, the Company’s obligations totaling $17.6 million under the Stock Purchase Agreement are now paid in full.

Also, on July 31, 2021, as part of the settlement of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company assigned obligations owed to it from Sport-BLX, totaling $4,176,102.11, to Fintech Debt Corp., of which Messrs. Hall and De Perio are controlling stockholders, for $400,000.

The Company had multiple notes payable with Orix PTP Holdings, LLC (“Orix”). Notes payable of $16.0 million issued in March 2020 bear interest at a 5.0% annual rate and mature on September 18, 2021.

On July 21, 2020, pursuant to a loan prepayment and security termination agreement, the Company prepaid the $16 million notes payable to Orix, together with accrued interest of $171,112. The prior Orix notes payable of $13.0 million, which bear interest at a 7.5% annual rate, were assigned from AEC to Adara Asset Management LLC, which, also on July 21, 2020, was sold to GEH Sport LLC, a related party, and, in effect, no longer an obligation of the Company.

Also on July 21, 2020, the Company borrowed $11.0 million from ESW, the proceeds of which were applied, among other things, to finance the transactions referred to in the preceding paragraph and the Company’s purchase of Orix’s shares of AEC, as described below. The loan was due January 20, 2021, with $1,100,000 interest. Also, AEC granted to ESW a security interest in all of AEC’s assets, pursuant to the ESW Loan Agreement, which, in addition to customary representations and warranties and covenants, prohibits AEC from entering into any agreement without ESW’s consent, or, subject to exceptions, incur or prepay any indebtedness, incur any liens, or make distributions on or payments with respect to its shares, and requires AEC to maintain at least $500,000 in cash or cash equivalents in controlled accounts. ESW may accelerate the loan upon a payment default; covenant default, in some cases after notice; a material adverse change in AEC’s business, assets, financial condition, ability to repay the loan, or in the perfection, value, or priority of ESW’s security interests in AEC’s assets; attachment of a material part of AEC’s assets; AEC’s or the Company’s insolvency; AEC’s default in its obligations under other agreements totaling $100,000 or more; AEC’s incurring judgments or settlements totaling $100,000 or more; or a change in AEC’s ownership; or if any material representation by AEC under the ESW Loan Agreement is untrue. The ESW Loan Agreement provides that, in event of AEC’s default other than for a material representation, AEC and ESW will act in good faith to effect a reorganization of AEC in bankruptcy, pursuant to which ESW acquires from the Company all equity in AEC and certain of its assets, and AEC’s cash, shares of its subsidiaries, including Sport-BLX, Inc., and a right to use AEC software and intellectual property in connection with the sports industry are distributed to the Company. Within the agreement, ESW agreed to provide $8.5 million to the bankruptcy estate to cover costs of administering the AEC bankruptcy case and to satisfy the claims of valid creditors, with any residual funds to be paid to GlassBridge. In connection with the ESW Loan Agreement, pursuant to a Limited Recourse Stock Pledge Agreement, the Company pledged to ESW all of the Company’s AEC stock and 30% of the outstanding stock of SportBLX, and, pursuant to a Subscription Agreement, ESW purchased 100 shares of AEC’s Series A Preferred Stock for a total purchase price of $25,000. Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of AEC, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to a liquidation preference of $1,500 per share and no more. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock vote together with holders of common stock on all matters, and each share of Series A Preferred Stock entitles the holder to one vote.

In January 2021, AEC received notice from ESW that Adara had defaulted on its obligation under the ESW Loan Agreement. On April 22, 2021, AEC filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. As part of AEC’s prepackaged Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, which became effective on June 15, 2021, GlassBridge received a release of its guaranty obligations to ESW.

In connection with the Chapter 11 reorganization, the Company received $325,000 from ESW in the form of a debtor-in-possession loan. The debtor-in-possession loan is included in the bankruptcy estate and not a liability of the Company.

On May 5, 2020, the Company received funds under the Bank Loan from the Bank in the aggregate amount of $374,065, pursuant to the PPP, under Division A, Title I of the CARES Act, which was enacted March 27, 2020. The Bank Loan, which was in the form of a note, dated April 30, 2020, issued to the Bank, matures on April 30, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum, payable monthly commencing on November 30, 2020. The note may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity, with no prepayment penalties. Under the terms of the PPP, certain amounts of the Bank Loan may be forgiven as long as the Company uses the proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities. The Company used the entire Bank Loan amount for qualifying expenses and, on June 30, 2021, received notice that the Bank Loan was forgiven in full.

On June 30, 2020, SportBLX issued an unsecured demand note to CSO in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000 (the “Demand Note-4”). The Demand Note-4 bears interest at an 8% annual rate and matures upon the earlier to occur of (a) demand by CSO, or (b) July 1, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, SportBLX borrowed $150,000 under the Demand Note-4.

As of September 30, 2021, SportBLX borrowed $40,000 under the Demand Note-5.

Note 8 — Retirement Plans

GlassBridge and the U.S. Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the “PBGC”) entered into an agreement on May 13, 2019 to terminate the Imation Cash Balance Pension Plan (the “Plan”), based on the PBGC’s findings that (i) the Plan did not meet the minimum funding standard required under Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; (ii) the Plan would be unable to pay benefits when due; and (iii) the Plan should be terminated in order to protect the interests of the Plan participants. GlassBridge and all other members of the Company’s controlled group (within the meaning of 29 U.S.C. §1301(a)(14)) (collectively, and including the Company, the “Controlled Group Members”)) were jointly and severally liable to the PBGC for all liabilities under Title IV of ERISA in connection with the Plan’s termination, including unfunded benefit liabilities, due and unpaid Plan contributions, premiums, and interest on each of the foregoing (the “Pension Liabilities”), as a result of which a lien in favor of the Plan, on all property of each Controlled Group Member, arose and was perfected by PBGC (the “Lien”). On October 1, 2019, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) with the PBGC. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, GlassBridge paid $3,000,000 in cash to PBGC on October 3, 2019 (the “Settlement Payment”). Per the terms of the Settlement Agreement and following the Settlement Payment on October 3, 2019, the PBGC released all Controlled Group Members from the Lien, as of January 6, 2020.

Note 9 — 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 September 30, 2021, we recorded income tax from continuing operations of $0.0 million, on income of $11.4 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded income tax from continuing operations of $0.0, million on a loss of $3.5 million. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a valuation allowance on various deferred tax assets.

The Company received an income tax refund in February 2021 of approximately $0.6 million related to the Tax Reform Act’s elimination of corporate alternative minimum tax and the ability to receive refunds of AMT credit carryovers. This was the final AMT credit refund due to the Company, as $1.6 million of the total $2.2 million tax benefit recorded in 2017 through 2018 had already been received in prior years.

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 2017 through 2020, and certain state returns from 2015 to present, are open to examination.

Note 10 — 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.

The Company did not purchase any shares during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Since the November 14, 2016 authorization, we have repurchased 780 shares of common stock for $0.3 million, and, as of September 30, 2021, we had remaining authorization to repurchase 1,720 additional shares.

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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 11 — Segment Information

As of September 30, 2021, the asset management business and sports technology platform are our reportable segments.

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 12 — Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies

The Company may be a party, as either a sole or joint defendant or plaintiff, in 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 November 15, 2021, 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 operations and cash flows.

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 have historically been no material losses related to such indemnifications. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, estimated liability amounts associated with such indemnifications were not material.

Environmental Matters

Our Legacy Business operations and indemnification obligations resulting from our spinoff from 3M subject us to liabilities arising from a wide range of federal, state and local environmental laws. For example, from time to time we have received correspondence from 3M notifying us that we may have a duty to defend and indemnify 3M with respect to certain environmental claims such as remediation costs. Environmental remediation costs are accrued when a probable liability has been determined and the amount of such liability has been reasonably estimated. These accruals are reviewed periodically as remediation and investigatory activities proceed and are adjusted accordingly. We did not have any environmental accruals as of September 30, 2021. Compliance with environmental regulations has not had a material adverse effect on our financial results.

The agreement also provides fees of $75,000 for each new tradable asset listed by the customer on the Platform. The Securities Subscription is effective for a two-year term and automatically renews for consecutive one-year renewal terms unless either party provides notice to the other party of its intention not to renew prior to the end of the initial or renewal term. Either party may terminate the agreement for convenience upon 30 days’ notice to the other party. The Securities Subscription was terminated effective January 1, 2021.

On June 30, 2020, SportBLX issued Demand Note-4 to CSO in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000. The Demand Note-4 bears interest at an 8% annual rate and matures upon the earlier to occur of demand by CSO or July 1, 2021.

On June 30, 2020, SportBLX issued Demand Note-5 to Mr. De Perio in the aggregate principal amount of $40,000. The Demand Note-5 bears interest at an 8% annual rate and matures upon the earlier to occur of demand by Mr. De Perio or July 1, 2021.

On August 1, 2020, the Company entered into a Management Services Agreement to provide certain back office services, including accounting, treasury, payroll and benefits and other administration services to S-BLX Securities. The agreement has a six month initial term and will automatically renew for successive renewal terms of three months unless either party provides notice of nonrenewal. In exchange for the services, S-BLX Securities will pay the Company at a rate of $15,000 each month. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has not provided any significant services or billed S-BLX Securities under the agreement and does not have any related outstanding receivables.

On July 31, 2021, Mr. Hall and Mr. De Perio agreed to accept $2,354,736 and $1,060,264, respectively, from the Company in satisfaction of its obligations to them in the amounts of $12,116,718 and $5,455,782, respectively.

The Company is negotiating new terms for the obligation, as well as for Demand Note-4 and Demand Note-5, which matured on July 1, 2021.

The net gain on the settlement of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the assignment of obligations to Fintech Debt Corp. are related party gains, and as such, were recorded as equity transactions within the Condensed Consolidated Balances Sheets rather than recognized as income within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, Mr. Hall advanced approximately $82,000 to SportBLX. Repayment terms have not been finalized.

Overview

GlassBridge Enterprises, Inc. (“GlassBridge”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) owns and operates an asset management business and a sports technology platform. We actively explore a diverse range of new, strategic asset management business opportunities for our portfolio.

On October 1, 2019, the Company sold to Orix PTP Holdings, LLC (“Orix”), for $17,562,700, 20.1% of the outstanding stock of Adara, until then a Company wholly owned subsidiary, together with two promissory notes of Adara Enterprises, Inc. to the Company in total principal amount of $13,000,000. In July 2020, an Adara wholly owned subsidiary assumed the obligations under the notes, and the subsidiary was sold to George E. Hall (“Mr. Hall”), a related party, for $1.00, after the subsidiary had distributed to Adara all of the subsidiary’s assets, except for its general partnership interest in The Sports & Entertainment Fund, L.P., which holds a $17.8 million investment, and the related commodities pool operator registration and $1,790,000 in cash. Also, the Company repurchased the Adara shares from Orix and prepaid a $16 million note that it issued to Orix in March 2020 (the proceeds of which were invested in The Sports & Entertainment Fund, L.P.), together with $171,000 in interest. As a result of an in-kind distribution from Adara, the Company became the direct owner of GlassBridge Arrive Investor, LLC, which is the investment arm of Roc Nation, as well as of 50.1% of the outstanding shares of Sport-BLX, Inc., and preferred interests in the European levies claims. The Company financed the foregoing transactions, in part, from proceeds of an $11,000,000 loan (the “ESW Loan Agreement”) to Adara from ESW Holdings, LLC (“ESW”), which was due January 20, 2021, with $1,100,000 interest.

18

In January 2021, Adara received notice from ESW that Adara had defaulted on its obligation to pay at maturity all amounts due to ESW under the ESW Loan Agreement. The ESW Loan Agreement provided that, upon Adara’s default, Adara may elect to cooperate with ESW to effect a prearranged reorganization of Adara in bankruptcy, pursuant to which ESW would acquire all equity in Adara, as reorganized, and indirectly certain of Adara’s assets, most notably property and equipment consisting of quantitative trading software, as well as deferred tax assets resulting from Adara’s net operating losses.

Adara’s prepackaged Chapter 11 plan of reorganization was confirmed at a hearing on June 9, 2021 and became effective on June 15, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On the Effective Date, ESW deposited $8.5 million, less $325,000 that ESW had previously funded in the form of a post-petition debtor-in-possession loan, into a distribution trust established pursuant to Adara’s Chapter 11 plan to fund the costs of administration associated with Adara’s bankruptcy case and to satisfy valid creditor claims. Neither GlassBridge nor Adara can predict at this time how much, if any, of the $8.5 million will remain after such creditor claims and other administrative expenses. Also on the Effective Date, by order of the Bankruptcy Court, GlassBridge shares of Adara were cancelled, and shares in reorganized Adara were issued as follows: 50% of the equity in reorganized Adara was issued to ESW, and the other 50% of the equity in reorganized Adara was issued to ESW’s affiliate, ESW Capital LLC. Finally, on the Effective Date, GlassBridge received a release of its guaranty obligations to ESW as well as a license to use AEC’s quantitative trading software in connection with the sports industry.

Adara has historically been one of the subsidiaries through which the company has operated its asset management business. The Company, however, remains committed to its asset management business and holds various investments and assets, including Arrive LLC (“Arrive”), in other subsidiaries.

A discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies was provided in Part II — Item 7 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 - New Accounting Pronouncements in our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, herein, for further information.

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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 September 30, 2021, 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 September 30, 2021, 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 September 30, 2021, 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 12 - 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 September 30, 2021, 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.

Basis of Presentation

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 and a sports technology platform through a 50.1% ownership investment in Sport-BLX, Inc. (“SportBLX”) (together the “Business”).

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, 2020 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, 2020, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 4, 2021.

The Company’s legacy business segments, Consumer Storage and Accessories and Tiered Storage and Security Solutions (the “Legacy Businesses”) and the Nexsan Business, no longer have any activity for any periods presented. Our continuing operations in each period presented represents our “Asset Management Business,” as well as corporate expenses and activities not directly attributable to our Legacy Businesses or the Nexsan Business. Assets and liabilities directly associated with our Legacy Businesses and Nexsan Business and that are not part of our ongoing operations are included in other assets and other investments.

In January 2021, Adara Enterprises, Corp. (“Adara” or “AEC”) received notice from ESW Holdings, Inc. (“ESW”) that Adara had defaulted on its obligation to pay at maturity, i.e., on January 20, 2021, $11,000,000 in principal and all other amounts due to ESW under a Loan and Security Agreement (“ESW Loan Agreement”), dated July 21, 2020. Pursuant to the ESW Loan Agreement, AEC gave to ESW a security interest in all of AEC’s assets, and GlassBridge pledged to ESW all of GlassBridge’s AEC stock and 30% of GlassBridge’s SportBLX stock. The Loan Agreement provides that, upon AEC’s default, AEC may elect to cooperate with ESW to effect a prearranged reorganization of AEC in bankruptcy, pursuant to which ESW would acquire all equity in AEC, as reorganized, and indirectly certain of AEC’s assets, most notably property and equipment consisting of quantitative trading software, as well as deferred tax assets resulting from AEC’s net operating losses. Within the agreement, ESW agreed to provide $8.5 million to the bankruptcy estate to cover costs of administering the AEC bankruptcy case and to satisfy the claims of valid creditors, with any residual funds to be paid to GlassBridge. The $8.5 million was to be paid upon the effectiveness of AEC’s Chapter 11 plan (less any amounts advanced to AEC in the form of a DIP loan) and maintained awaiting outside creditor claims. Neither GlassBridge nor AEC can predict at this time how much, if any, of the $8.5 million will remain after such creditor claims and other administrative expenses.

AEC’s prepackaged Chapter 11 plan of reorganization was confirmed at a hearing on June 9, 2021 and became effective on June 15, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). Upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, ESW deposited $8.5 million, less $325,000 that ESW had previously funded in the form of a post-petition debtor-in-possession loan, into a distribution trust established pursuant to AEC’s Chapter 11 plan to fund the costs of administration associated with AEC’s bankruptcy case and to satisfy valid creditor claims. Also on the Effective Date, by order of the Bankruptcy Court, GlassBridge shares of AEC were terminated, and shares in reorganized AEC were issued as follows: 50% of the equity in reorganized AEC was issued to ESW, and the other 50% of the equity in reorganized AEC was issued to ESW’s affiliate, ESW Capital LLC. Finally, on the Effective Date, GlassBridge received a release of its guaranty obligations to ESW as well as a license to use AEC’s quantitative trading software in connection with the sports industry.

Adara has historically been one of the subsidiaries through which the company has operated its asset management business. The Company, however, remains committed to its asset management business and holds various investments and assets, including Arrive LLC (“Arrive”), in other subsidiaries. The default on the ESW loan agreement is expected to provide additional liquidity for the Business though the prearranged bankruptcy plan described above.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]

New Accounting Pronouncements

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”). ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be not applicable to the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates, amends, and adds disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The amended and new disclosure requirements primarily relate to Level 3 fair value measurements. For the Company, the ASU was effective as of January 1, 2020. The removal and amendment of certain disclosures may be early adopted with retrospective application while the new disclosure requirements are to be applied prospectively. As this ASU relates only to disclosures, there was no impact to the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which makes minor changes to the disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The ASU requires a retrospective transition approach. For the Company, the ASU was effective as of January 1, 2021. As this ASU relates only to disclosures, there was no impact to the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Income (Loss) per Common Share

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. Since the exercise price of our stock options is greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the period, we did not include dilutive common equivalent shares for these instruments in the computation of diluted net income per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

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

Supplemental Balance Sheet Information

Supplemental Balance Sheet Information

Note 4 — Supplemental Balance Sheet Information

Additional supplemental balance sheet information is provided as follows:

Property and equipment, as of December 31, 2020, consisted of quantitative trading software purchased from GEH Capital, LLC (“GEH”), a related party. The asset was depreciated on a straight-line basis over a useful life of three years. Net property and equipment of $1.5 million, as of Dec 31, 2020, consisted of the purchased cost of $1.7 million, less accumulated depreciation of $0.2 million. The residual values, useful life and depreciation method were reviewed at each financial year end to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of property and equipment. See Note 13 – Related Party Transactions for more information relating to the software purchase.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the net carrying amount is recognized in the statement of operations.

In January 2021, AEC received notice from ESW that Adara had defaulted on its obligations under the ESW Loan Agreement. On April 22, 2021, AEC filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. As part of AEC’s prepackaged Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, which became effective on June 15, 2021, ESW acquired the Company’s interest in the quantitative trading software, and GlassBridge received a license to use the software in connection with the sports industry.

Total assets, as of September 30, 2021, include a $12.8 million investment in Arrive. Historically, we 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 September 30, 2021, there were no indicators of impairment for this investment. The Company will assess the investment for potential impairment, quarterly.

Other assets of $0.2 million, as of September 30, 2021, include a separate investment in Arrive. The Company uses the same method of accounting for this investment as its other investment in Arrive, described in the prior paragraph.

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 at the annual rate of 7%, 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 of 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 in the case of any default existing for 10 days or more.

In 2019, the Company purchased from Messrs. Hall and De Perio, both of whom are related parties, shares of SportBLX common stock in exchange for cash and promissory notes (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”). The Stock Purchase Agreement notes payable bear interest at a 5% annual rate and mature on December 12, 2022. The interest under the notes is payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter or, at the Company’s option, in shares of common stock of the Company, at a price reflecting market value. Interest of $508,000 due under the agreement is offset due to the termination of a Credit Facility Letter Agreement with Clinton Special Opportunities Fund LLC (“CSO”), a related party. See Note 13 – Related Party Transactions for more information.

On July 31, 2021, Messrs. Hall and De Perio agreed to accept $2,354,736 and $1,060,264, respectively, from the Company in satisfaction of its obligations to them in the amounts of $12,116,718 and $5,455,782, respectively. Accordingly, the Company’s obligations totaling $17.6 million under the Stock Purchase Agreement are now paid in full.

Also, on July 31, 2021, as part of the settlement of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company assigned obligations owed to it from Sport-BLX, totaling $4,176,102.11, to Fintech Debt Corp., of which Messrs. Hall and De Perio are controlling stockholders, for $400,000.

The Company had multiple notes payable with Orix PTP Holdings, LLC (“Orix”). Notes payable of $16.0 million issued in March 2020 bear interest at a 5.0% annual rate and mature on September 18, 2021.

On July 21, 2020, pursuant to a loan prepayment and security termination agreement, the Company prepaid the $16 million notes payable to Orix, together with accrued interest of $171,112. The prior Orix notes payable of $13.0 million, which bear interest at a 7.5% annual rate, were assigned from AEC to Adara Asset Management LLC, which, also on July 21, 2020, was sold to GEH Sport LLC, a related party, and, in effect, no longer an obligation of the Company.

Also on July 21, 2020, the Company borrowed $11.0 million from ESW, the proceeds of which were applied, among other things, to finance the transactions referred to in the preceding paragraph and the Company’s purchase of Orix’s shares of AEC, as described below. The loan was due January 20, 2021, with $1,100,000 interest. Also, AEC granted to ESW a security interest in all of AEC’s assets, pursuant to the ESW Loan Agreement, which, in addition to customary representations and warranties and covenants, prohibits AEC from entering into any agreement without ESW’s consent, or, subject to exceptions, incur or prepay any indebtedness, incur any liens, or make distributions on or payments with respect to its shares, and requires AEC to maintain at least $500,000 in cash or cash equivalents in controlled accounts. ESW may accelerate the loan upon a payment default; covenant default, in some cases after notice; a material adverse change in AEC’s business, assets, financial condition, ability to repay the loan, or in the perfection, value, or priority of ESW’s security interests in AEC’s assets; attachment of a material part of AEC’s assets; AEC’s or the Company’s insolvency; AEC’s default in its obligations under other agreements totaling $100,000 or more; AEC’s incurring judgments or settlements totaling $100,000 or more; or a change in AEC’s ownership; or if any material representation by AEC under the ESW Loan Agreement is untrue. The ESW Loan Agreement provides that, in event of AEC’s default other than for a material representation, AEC and ESW will act in good faith to effect a reorganization of AEC in bankruptcy, pursuant to which ESW acquires from the Company all equity in AEC and certain of its assets, and AEC’s cash, shares of its subsidiaries, including Sport-BLX, Inc., and a right to use AEC software and intellectual property in connection with the sports industry are distributed to the Company. Within the agreement, ESW agreed to provide $8.5 million to the bankruptcy estate to cover costs of administering the AEC bankruptcy case and to satisfy the claims of valid creditors, with any residual funds to be paid to GlassBridge. In connection with the ESW Loan Agreement, pursuant to a Limited Recourse Stock Pledge Agreement, the Company pledged to ESW all of the Company’s AEC stock and 30% of the outstanding stock of SportBLX, and, pursuant to a Subscription Agreement, ESW purchased 100 shares of AEC’s Series A Preferred Stock for a total purchase price of $25,000. Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of AEC, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to a liquidation preference of $1,500 per share and no more. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock vote together with holders of common stock on all matters, and each share of Series A Preferred Stock entitles the holder to one vote.

In January 2021, AEC received notice from ESW that Adara had defaulted on its obligation under the ESW Loan Agreement. On April 22, 2021, AEC filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. As part of AEC’s prepackaged Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, which became effective on June 15, 2021, GlassBridge received a release of its guaranty obligations to ESW.

In connection with the Chapter 11 reorganization, the Company received $325,000 from ESW in the form of a debtor-in-possession loan. The debtor-in-possession loan is included in the bankruptcy estate and not a liability of the Company.

On May 5, 2020, the Company received funds under the Bank Loan from the Bank in the aggregate amount of $374,065, pursuant to the PPP, under Division A, Title I of the CARES Act, which was enacted March 27, 2020. The Bank Loan, which was in the form of a note, dated April 30, 2020, issued to the Bank, matures on April 30, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum, payable monthly commencing on November 30, 2020. The note may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity, with no prepayment penalties. Under the terms of the PPP, certain amounts of the Bank Loan may be forgiven as long as the Company uses the proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities. The Company used the entire Bank Loan amount for qualifying expenses and, on June 30, 2021, received notice that the Bank Loan was forgiven in full.

Other related parties notes payable of $0.2 million is comprised of Demand Notes-4 and -5 described below.

On June 30, 2020, SportBLX issued an unsecured demand note to CSO in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000 (the “Demand Note-4”). The Demand Note-4 bears interest at an 8% annual rate and matures upon the earlier to occur of (a) demand by CSO, or (b) July 1, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, SportBLX borrowed $150,000 under the Demand Note-4.

On June 30, 2020, SportBLX issued an unsecured demand note to Mr. De Perio, a related party, in the aggregate principal amount of $40,000 (the “Demand Note-5”). The Demand Note-5 bears interest at an 8% annual rate and matures upon the earlier to occur of demand by Mr. De Perio or July 1, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, SportBLX borrowed $40,000 under the Demand Note-5.

GlassBridge and the U.S. Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the “PBGC”) entered into an agreement on May 13, 2019 to terminate the Imation Cash Balance Pension Plan (the “Plan”), based on the PBGC’s findings that (i) the Plan did not meet the minimum funding standard required under Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; (ii) the Plan would be unable to pay benefits when due; and (iii) the Plan should be terminated in order to protect the interests of the Plan participants. GlassBridge and all other members of the Company’s controlled group (within the meaning of 29 U.S.C. §1301(a)(14)) (collectively, and including the Company, the “Controlled Group Members”)) were jointly and severally liable to the PBGC for all liabilities under Title IV of ERISA in connection with the Plan’s termination, including unfunded benefit liabilities, due and unpaid Plan contributions, premiums, and interest on each of the foregoing (the “Pension Liabilities”), as a result of which a lien in favor of the Plan, on all property of each Controlled Group Member, arose and was perfected by PBGC (the “Lien”). On October 1, 2019, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) with the PBGC. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, GlassBridge paid $3,000,000 in cash to PBGC on October 3, 2019 (the “Settlement Payment”).

Income Taxes

Note 9 — 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 September 30, 2021, we recorded income tax from continuing operations of $0.0 million, on income of $11.4 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded income tax from continuing operations of $0.0, million on a loss of $3.5 million. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a valuation allowance on various deferred tax assets.

The Company received an income tax refund in February 2021 of approximately $0.6 million related to the Tax Reform Act’s elimination of corporate alternative minimum tax and the ability to receive refunds of AMT credit carryovers. This was the final AMT credit refund due to the Company, as $1.6 million of the total $2.2 million tax benefit recorded in 2017 through 2018 had already been received in prior years.

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 2017 through 2020, and certain state returns from 2015 to present, are open to examination.

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.

The Company did not purchase any shares during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Since the November 14, 2016 authorization, we have repurchased 780 shares of common stock for $0.3 million, and, as of September 30, 2021, we had remaining authorization to repurchase 1,720 additional shares.

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies

Note 12 — Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies

The Company may be a party, as either a sole or joint defendant or plaintiff, in 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 November 15, 2021, 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 operations and cash flows.

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 have historically been no material losses related to such indemnifications. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, estimated liability amounts associated with such indemnifications were not material.

Environmental Matters

Our Legacy Business operations and indemnification obligations resulting from our spinoff from 3M subject us to liabilities arising from a wide range of federal, state and local environmental laws. For example, from time to time we have received correspondence from 3M notifying us that we may have a duty to defend and indemnify 3M with respect to certain environmental claims such as remediation costs. Environmental remediation costs are accrued when a probable liability has been determined and the amount of such liability has been reasonably estimated. These accruals are reviewed periodically as remediation and investigatory activities proceed and are adjusted accordingly. We did not have any environmental accruals as of September 30, 2021. Compliance with environmental regulations has not had a material adverse effect on our financial results.

On June 5, 2020, SportBLX entered into a subscription agreement (the “Securities Subscription”) with S-BLX Securities for SportBLX’s proprietary sports-based alternative asset trading platform (the “Platform”), via which the customer, Securities, may issue sports-related securities that are tradeable by investors. Mr. Hall and Mr. De Perio own 65.5% and 28.1% of Securities, respectively. As consideration for the Securities Subscription, SportBLX received a one-time upfront subscription fee of $150,000 and will receive a monthly subscription fee of $100,000 during the first year of the contract. The fee increases to $137,500, monthly, for the remaining year of the initial term. Thereafter, upon renewal, SportBLX may increase the fee by an amount not to exceed five percent of the previous year’s fee. The agreement also provides fees of $75,000 for each new tradable asset listed by the customer on the Platform. The Securities Subscription is effective for a two-year term and automatically renews for consecutive one-year renewal terms unless either party provides notice to the other party of its intention not to renew prior to the end of the initial or renewal term. Either party may terminate the agreement for convenience upon 30 days’ notice to the other party. The Securities Subscription was terminated effective January 1, 2021.

In July 2020, an Adara wholly owned subsidiary assumed the obligations under the notes, and the subsidiary was sold to GEH Sport LLC, wholly owned by Mr. Hall, for $1.00, after the subsidiary had distributed to Adara all of the subsidiary’s assets, except for its general partnership interest in The Sports & Entertainment Fund, L.P. and the related commodities pool operator registration and $1,790,000 in cash.

On July 20, 2020, pursuant to a Software Assignment Agreement, AEC purchased from GEH Capital, LLC, wholly owned by Mr. Hall, certain of that company’s quantitative trading software, for $1,750,000.

In connection with the closing of certain transactions in the third quarter of 2020, the Company paid a $250,000 consulting fee to Mr. Hall and a $200,000 consulting fee to Alexander Fletcher. Alex Spiro, a Company director who introduced Alexander Fletcher to the Company, will receive $120,000 of the consulting fee.

On August 1, 2020, the Company entered into a Management Services Agreement to provide certain back office services, including accounting, treasury, payroll and benefits and other administration services to S-BLX Securities. The agreement has a six month initial term and will automatically renew for successive renewal terms of three months unless either party provides notice of nonrenewal. In exchange for the services, S-BLX Securities will pay the Company at a rate of $15,000 each month. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has not provided any significant services or billed S-BLX Securities under the agreement and does not have any related outstanding receivables.

On July 31, 2021, Mr. Hall and Mr. De Perio agreed to accept $2,354,736 and $1,060,264, respectively, from the Company in satisfaction of its obligations to them in the amounts of $12,116,718 and $5,455,782, respectively. The obligations were due December 12, 2022 and bore interest at a 5% annual rate. Accordingly, GLAE’s obligations in the amounts of $12,116,718 and $5,455,782 are now paid in full.

Also on July 31, 2021, as part of the settlement of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company assigned obligations owed to it from Sport-BLX, totaling $4,176,102.11, to Fintech Debt Corp., of which Mr. Hall and Mr. De Perio are controlling stockholders, for $400,000.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates, amends, and adds disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The amended and new disclosure requirements primarily relate to Level 3 fair value measurements. For the Company, the ASU was effective as of January 1, 2020. The removal and amendment of certain disclosures may be early adopted with retrospective application while the new disclosure requirements are to be applied prospectively. As this ASU relates only to disclosures, there was no impact to the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which makes minor changes to the disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The ASU requires a retrospective transition approach. For the Company, the ASU was effective as of January 1, 2021. As this ASU relates only to disclosures, there was no impact to the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
