Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On March 10, 2021, Tattooed Chef, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing results for the full year 2020 and fourth quarter of 2020. A copy of the Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. On March 19, 2021, the Company filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2020 (the “Annual Report”).
After consultation and discussions with BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”), the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s management concluded that the certain items in the announced financial results set forth in the Press Release needed to be adjusted. The adjustments relate to the treatment of certain transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, which was amended on August 10, 2020 by the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement” and the transactions contemplated therein, the “Business Combination”) by and among the Company (f/k/a Forum Merger II Corporation), Sprout Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Myjojo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ittella Parent”), and Salvatore Galletti, in his capacity as the holder representative, and have been incorporated into the Annual Report.
The first adjustment relates to the issuance by Ittella Parent to an executive of the Company one share of Class A special stock which was exchanged, at the closing of the Business Combination, for 500,000 shares of our common stock. In addition, the executive of the Company received $1.0 million in cash at the closing of the Business Combination. The total value of the cash and stock was previously recorded as merger consideration, received in exchange for the one share of Class A special stock. After reconsideration and consultation with BDO, the Company determined to record the cash and stock as compensation in the Company’s income statement, and it has been reflected as such in the Company’s financial results as presented in the Annual Report.
The second adjustment relates to the valuation of the shares placed in escrow at the closing of the Business Combination, to be delivered to certain of the Ittella Parent stockholders upon the achievement of specified stock price thresholds (the “Holdback Shares”). The measured value of the Holdback Shares at the time of their release from escrow, relative to their measured value at the closing of the Business Combination, resulted in a gain on settlement.
The net effect of these adjustments resulted in an increase to net income of approximately $23.4 million both for the fourth quarter and for the full year 2020. These adjustments are non-recurring and primarily are non-cash based. These adjustments did not impact the Company’s reported revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, cash, or guidance for 2021.
A copy of the press release issued by the Company announcing these adjustments is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.
The information in this Item 2.02 and Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
