In the first quarter of 2019, the Company’s subsidiary, Capital Financial Services, Inc., executed a tentative Asset Purchase and Assignment Agreement with another FINRA member broker dealer, Calton & Associates, Inc. of Tampa, Florida ("Assignee"), wherein, subject to approval of FINRA and any other securities regulatory authorities, Assignee would be entitled to purchase certain retail customer accounts of the Company’s subsidiary. The agreement became effective upon consent of FINRA on July 1, 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Assignee will pay to the Company’s subsidiary a total of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars for all retail accounts accepted by Assignee that choose to transfer to Assignee, to be paid in installments as follows: Seventy Five Thousand Dollars paid approximately July 19, 2019, Seventy Five Thousand Dollars to paid approximately October 1, 2019 and One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars on or before December 31, 2019 (the transaction proceeds). The transaction proceeds are to be deposited directly to an escrow account established for the purpose of settlement of customer arbitration claims against the Company’s subsidiary. The transfer of retail customer accounts of the Company’s subsidiary to the Assignee is currently in process but has not yet been completed. Neither the Assignee, nor any affiliates, directors, officers or associates of the Assignee have any material relationship with the Company or the Company’s subsidiary, or with any affiliates, directors, officers, or associates of the Company or the Company’s subsidiary. On July 31, 2019 the Company’s subsidiary terminated its relationships with all of its associated independent registered representatives and thereby ceased its active retail securities brokerage business. As of August 5, 2019 the Company subsidiary’s fully disclosed clearing arrangement with RBC Correspondent Services was mutually concluded. The Company’s subsidiary is maintaining its administrative, reporting, accounting and compliance personnel and functions.
