Extinguishment of preferred shares
The Company assesses whether amendments to the terms of its Preferred Shares is an extinguishment or a modification from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives.
| i. | Extinguishment of Round A and Round B preferred shares during Reorganization |
As described above, prior to the Reorganization, the equity interests of ECMOHO Shanghai held by the Round A and Round B Investors were with liquidation preference and also were redeemable at the holders’ option any time after a certain date or breach of contract by ECMOHO Shanghai or the Founders.
Upon completion of the Reorganization, Round A and Round B Investors’ equity interests with preferential rights, except for the 2.5% held by NCI holder, in ECMOHO Shanghai were exchanged into 9,519,000Class A-1 and 10,817,100Class A-2 Preferred Shares of the Company, respectively.
The most significant changes in the preferential rights of the Round A and Round B Investors are in respect with the redemption right and liquidation preference.
From both quantitative and qualitative perspectives, the Company assessed the impact of the above amendments and concluded that these amendments represent extinguishment rather than modification of Round A and Round B preferred shares. Therefore, at the time of the extinguishment, Round A and Round B preferred shares with the carrying amount of US$ 8,361,109 and US$ 23,284,214 are derecognized, respectively, andClass A-1 andA-2 Preferred Shares are measured at its fair value with the amount of US$ 19,495,152 and 26,172,432, respectively, with the difference of US$ 14,022,261 charged to additionalpaid-in capital and accumulated deficit with the amount of US$ 8,754,073 and US$ 5,268,188, respectively.
The Company concluded that there is no accretion to be recognized forClass A-1 andClass A-2 preferred shares because their initial carrying amount is greater than the redemption value as of December 31, 2018. Therefore, no adjustment will be made to the initial carrying amount of theClass A-1 andClass A-2 preferred shares until the redemption amount exceeds the carrying amount.
As of December 31, 2018, US$ 89,222 of the subscription consideration forClass A-2 preferred shares remained outstanding and such amount was presented as subscriptions receivable, a contra mezzanine equity balance on the consolidated balance sheets.
