20. Subsequent Events

In February 2019, PHOT, a subsidiary of the Company, received contributions of certain assets from its Chairman and CEO and issued redeemable preferred units as consideration. Part of these preferred units were later assigned to other related parties. In May 2021, the Company entered into an exchange agreement wherein these preferred units were exchanged for 1,428,358 equity shares and $814,219 in cash. On October 31, 2023, a lawsuit was filed alleging that the Board breached its fiduciary duties by approving the transaction. The Company denied any wrongdoing. The lawsuit was settled on January 30, 2024, wherein the Company agreed to unwind the exchange transaction and pay $0.4 million to settle all claims. The unwinding of this transaction does not meet the recognition criteria as of December 31, 2023, and therefore considered as non-recognized subsequent event.
