NOTE 12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Two members of Acacia’s Board of Directors and one member of Acacia’s executive management are members of the Company’s Board of Directors. As a result, Acacia is a related party and the transactions with Acacia described in Note 6 are related party transactions.

Chad Steelberg and Ryan Steelberg, who are executive officers of the Company, collectively own fifty percent of VLOC’s membership interests. VLOC is one of the Bridge Loan Lenders, as described in Note 6. The Bridge Loan transactions described in Note 6 are related party transactions.

In March 2017, the Company entered into employment agreements with Chad Steelberg and Ryan Steelberg, who are executive officers of the Company. See Note 7 for a discussion of these employment agreements.

As discussed in Note 9, in April 2016, the Company issued 961,835 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.50 per share to an entity beneficially owned by the Founders of the Company. The shares were issued to such entity in consideration for the services rendered to the Company by the Founders during the first four months of 2016.

The Company reimbursed Chad Steelberg and Ryan Steelberg for the costs of their healthcare plans. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company expensed $58 and $73 for the cost of such plans, respectively. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company has an accrual of $0 and $73, respectively, related to these healthcare plans.

In October 2014, the Company and Steel Ventures, LLC (“SVL”), an affiliated company whose beneficial owners have significant control over the Company, entered into an Intercompany Administrative Services Agreement (the “Service Agreement”) effective October 1, 2014 for a two-year period, with two two-year renewal options. Pursuant to the Service Agreement, SVL agreed to make its executive management, professional, technical and clerical employees available to the Company to assist in the operation and administration of the Company’s business. In addition, SVL agreed to make other services available to the Company through parties other than SVL’s personnel. In consideration for the above, SVL invoices the Company allocable costs based on a predefined allocation methodology. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company incurred fees of $1,105 for services received under the Service Agreement. This agreement expired by its term in September 2016 and so no fees were incurred under such agreement for fiscal 2017.

There were no other related party transactions as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.
