| INVESTMENTS | INVESTMENTS On March 30, 2020, Edible Garden Corp. (“Edible Garden”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into and closed an Asset Purchase Agreement with Edible Garden Incorporated (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which Edible Garden sold and the Purchaser acquired substantially all of the assets of Edible Garden (the “Business”). The consideration paid for the Business included two option agreements to purchase up to a 20% interest in the Purchaser for a nominal fee. The first option gives the Company the right to purchase a 10% interest in the Purchaser for one dollar at any time between the and five-year anniversary of the transaction, or at any time should a change in control event or public offering occur. The second option gives the Company the right to purchase an additional 10% interest in the Purchaser for one dollar at any point prior to the five-year anniversary of the transaction. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company exercised its options and acquired 5,000,000 shares of Edible Garden's common stock for a nominal fee. During the fourth quarter of 2021, management concluded that the investment was impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $0.33 million, representing the total amount of the investment.
On May 3, 2022, Edible Garden completed a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. As a result, the Company held 1,000,000 shares in Edible Garden. On May 5, 2022, Edible Garden announced the pricing of its initial public offering of 2,930,000 shares of its common stock and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 2,930,000 shares of common stock for an exercise price of $5.00 per share. Each share of common stock was sold together with one warrant at a combined offering price of $5.00, for gross proceeds of approximately $14.70 million. As a result of the initial public offering, the Company reassessed its write down on the investment and recorded a write up to its fair value, which is categorized within the fair value hierarchy as Level 2. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded an unrealized gain (loss) on investment of $(0.49) million and $0.47 million, respectively.
