Item 2.05. | Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. |
On May 25, 2018, the Registrant's board of directors committed the company to an exit/disposal plan with respect to its promotional, ticketing and production businesses because it does not believe that such business units can generate sufficient operating cash flows to fund the ongoing operations of the Registrant. The Registrant anticipates returning the businesses it acquired to the original sellers thereof, on a negotiated basis. The registrant anticipates completing the exit/disposal plan within approximately ten days. The company will continue to operate its athlete management business.
The Registrant believes it will incur a loss on the disposition of the assets contemplated by the exit/disposal plan (which may include the write off of associated goodwill and intangible assets). In addition, the Registrant will incur professional fees in connection with the implementation of the exit/disposal plan.
The Registrant is unable at this time to estimate the amount of costs which may be incurred in connection with its exit/disposal plan. The Registrant will file an amendment to this Form 8-K within four business days after it determines an estimate or range of estimates of the exit/disposal costs.

Effective May 23, 2018, Renzo Gracie resigned as a member of the board of directors of the Alliance MMA, Inc. (the “Company”). Effective May 24, 2018, Robert L. Mazzeo resigned as CEO of the Company. As previously disclosed, Paul Danner, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, remained as a Director through May 1, 2018. Accordingly, as of the date hereof, the Company has three directors: Joel Tracy (Chairman), Joe Gamberale and Burt Watson.
