These shares will be released upon Nationwides management attaining certain revenue goals for the Company and shall retain voting rights; however, shall not be subject to dividends or liquidation distributions until released from escrow. After the transaction, Nationwide will be a wholly- owned subsidiary of the Company and the Nationwide shareholders will control approximately 80% of the Company.
