DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS | NOTE 2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On September 13, 2024, the Company completed the previously announced separation and distribution of its Grocery segment into an independent publicly traded company, HCWC. The separation was structured as a tax-free spin-off, which occurred by way of a pro rata distribution to HCMC stockholders. Each of the HCMC stockholders received one share of HCWC Class A common stock and three shares of Class B common stock for every 208,632 shares of HCMC common stock held of record as of the close of business on September 13, 2024 Cash of $ 2.2 1.2 During the third quarter of 2024, the Company recognized a net reduction to retained earnings of $ 1.0 In connection with the Separation, the Company entered into several agreements with HCWC that govern the relationship of the parties following the Spin-Off. These agreements include: ● a Separation Agreement that will set forth HCMC’s and the Company’s agreements regarding the principal actions that both parties will take in connection with the Spin-Off and aspects of our relationship following the Spin-Off; ● a Transition Services Agreement pursuant to which HCMC and the Company will provide each other specified services on a transitional basis to help ensure an orderly transition following the Spin-Off. ● a Tax Matters Agreement that will govern the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of HCMC and the Company after the Spin-Off with respect to all tax matters and will include restrictions to preserve the tax-free status of the Spin-Off; and ● an Employee Matters Agreement that will address employment, compensation and benefits matters, including the allocation and treatment of assets and liabilities arising out of employee compensation and benefits programs in which our employees participated prior to the Spin-Off. Under the terms of the transition services agreement, HCMC will provide to HCWC, on a transitional basis, certain services or functions, including information technology, accounting, human resources, and payroll functions. Generally, these services will be provided for a period of up to one year following the Spin-Off. Consideration and costs for the transition services will be determined using several billing methodologies as described in the agreements, including customary billing and pass-through billing. Costs for transition services provided to HCWC are recorded within the Consolidated Statements of Operations based on the nature of the services.
