Item 3.02
Other Events
 
On September 2, 2014 we determined not to proceed with the purchase of additional shares of Equidam Holding B.V. (“Equidam”), a Netherlands private limited liability corporation in which we presently hold an approximately 7% ownership interest.  Until August 2014, we held a 9% ownership interest in Equidam, which was diluted in connection with an equity financing by Equidam in which we determined not to participate.  As a consequence of the foregoing, the 3,000,000 shares of our common stock allocated to the prospective purchase of additional shares of Equidam delivered into escrow in connection with our December 6, 2013 Share Exchange Agreement with Symbid Holding B.V. and the former shareholders of Symbid Holding B.V., will be returned to us and cancelled.  270,000 of the shares of our common stock delivered into escrow and allocated to our existing ownership interest in Equidam will be distributed to the former shareholders of Symbid Holding B.V., subject to a 5% holdback to further secure the indemnification obligations of the former Symbid Holding B.V. shareholders under the Share Exchange Agreement.
