The undersigned (the “Purchaser”) hereby subscribes to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Chee Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), set forth on the signature page hereof at a cash purchase price of $1.00 per share. The shares being purchased are referred to herein as the “Shares.” This subscription may be rejected by the Company in its sole discretion.
The Company is offering up to 1,500,000 Shares (the “Offering”), for an aggregate purchase price of up to $1,500,000. The purchase of Shares is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Subscription Agreement, the Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 21, 2020 (the “Form 10-Q”), and any other reports filed with the SEC on Forms 10-K, 10-Q, or 8-K, and the Risk Factors set forth in Exhibit A hereto (the “Risk Factors”). Such purchase of Shares is also subject to the following paragraphs.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the maximum number of Shares that were available in the offering under which his Subscription Agreements dated January 8, 2021, and January 29, 2021 were delivered to the Company was raised from 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 Shares.
1. Purchase. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Purchaser hereby irrevocably agrees to purchase the number of Shares set forth on the signature page hereof and tenders herewith the consideration set forth on the signature page hereof. Payment in full by cash, certified check, or wire transfer in the amount of $1.00 per Share purchased accompanies the delivery of this Subscription Agreement.
2. Representations and Warranties. Purchaser hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Company and Purchaser agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and pay all judgments of and claims against the Company from any liability or injury, including, but not limited to, that arising under federal or state securities laws, incurred as a result of any misrepresentation herein or any warranties not performed by Purchaser.
(a) Purchaser is the sole and true party in interest and is not purchasing for the benefit of any other person.
(b) Purchaser has read, analyzed, and is familiar with the information set forth in the Form 10-Q and any other reports with respect to the Company filed with the SEC, including but not limited to the Risk Factors contained therein, this Subscription Agreement, and the Investor Suitability Questionnaire, and has retained copies of all such documents. Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss the business plans of the Company with Company management and has had an opportunity to ask questions and received satisfactory responses from management with respect to the Company.
(c) Purchaser has read, analyzed, and is familiar with the section of this Subscription Agreement entitled “Investor Suitability Questionnaire” and Purchaser hereby warrants that Purchaser either [CHECK ALL THAT APPLY]:
☐ is an Accredited Investor, as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and all liabilities necessary to make a verification of net worth have been disclosed to the person completing the Accredited Investor Verification, if any;
☐ alone or with a purchaser representative(s) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he or she is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment; or
☐ is not a “U.S. person” as that term is defined under Regulation S promulgated under the Act.
(d) Purchaser understands that all books, records, and documents of the Company relating to this investment have been and remain available for inspection by Purchaser upon reasonable notice. Purchaser confirms that all documents requested by Purchaser have been made available, and that Purchaser has been supplied with all of the additional information concerning this investment that has been requested. In making a decision to purchase the Shares, Purchaser has relied exclusively upon information provided in the Form 10-Q and the Company’s other reports filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including but not limited to the Risk Factors contained therein, this Subscription Agreement, and its own independent investigation of the Company’s books, records, and documents.
(e) Purchaser is aware that an investment in the Shares is highly speculative and subject to substantial risks, including those risks set forth in the Risk Factors contained in the Form 10-Q and any subsequent reports with respect to the Company filed with the SEC. Purchaser is capable of bearing the high degree of economic risk and burdens of this venture, including, but not limited to, the possibility of the complete loss of all funds invested, the loss of any anticipated tax benefits, the lack of a public market, the unavailability of redemption for the Shares, and limited transferability of the Shares that may make the liquidation of this investment impossible for the indefinite future.
(f) The offer to sell the Shares was directly communicated to Purchaser by the Company, or through a person acting on its behalf, in such a manner that Purchaser was able to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this transaction. At no time was Purchaser presented with or solicited by or through any article, notice, or other communication published in any newspaper or other leaflet, public promotional meeting, television, radio, or other broadcast or transmittal advertisement or any other form of general advertising.
(g) Purchaser, if a corporation, partnership, trust, or other entity, is authorized and duly empowered to purchase and hold the Shares, has its principal place of business at the address set forth on the signature page, and has not been formed for the specific purpose of purchasing the Shares.
(h) The Shares are being purchased solely for Purchaser’s own account for investment and are not being purchased with a view to the resale, distribution, subdivision, or fractionalization thereof.
(i) Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Act or any state securities laws in reliance upon exemptions from registration for non-public offerings. Purchaser understands that the Shares or any interest therein may not be, and agrees that the Shares or any interest therein, will not be, resold or otherwise disposed of by Purchaser unless the Shares are subsequently registered under the Act and under appropriate state securities laws or unless the Company receives an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that an exemption from registration is available.
2
(j) Purchaser has been informed of and understands the following:
(1) There are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Shares under the Act; and
(2) No federal or state agency has made any finding or determination as to the fairness of the Shares for public investment nor any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares.
(k) None of the following information has ever been represented, guaranteed, or warranted to Purchaser expressly or by implication, by any broker, the Company, or agents or employees of the foregoing, or by any other person:
(1) The approximate or exact length of time that Purchaser will be required to hold the Shares;
(2) The percentage of profit and/or amount of or type of consideration, profit or loss to be realized, if any, as a result of an investment in the Shares; or
(3) That the past performance or experience of the Company, or associates, agents, affiliates, or employees of the Company or any other person, will in any way indicate or predict economic results in connection with the purchase of the Shares.
(l) The information set forth in the Investor Suitability Questionnaire and executed by Purchaser is true, correct, and complete.
(m) Purchaser has not distributed this Subscription Agreement to anyone, no other person has used the Subscription Agreement, and Purchaser has made no copies of the Subscription Agreement.
(n) Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify the Company, its officers, its directors, persons who participated in the preparation of this Subscription Agreement, and any person participating in the offering and hold them harmless from and against any and all liability, damage, cost (including legal fees and court costs) and expense incurred on account of or arising out of:
(1) Any inaccuracy in the declarations, representations, and warranties set forth herein;
(2) The disposition of any of the Shares by Purchaser contrary to the foregoing declarations, representations, and warranties; and
(3) Any action, suit, or proceeding based upon (i) the claim that said declarations, representations, or warranties were inaccurate or misleading or otherwise cause for obtaining damages or redress from the Company; (ii) the disposition of any of the Shares; or (iii) the breach by Purchaser of any part of this Subscription Agreement.
3
(o) If Purchaser is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, or other entity and the Purchaser is not an employee benefit plan as defined under ERISA (an “Employee Benefit Plan”), “Benefit Plan Investors,” as that term is defined in the regulations promulgated under ERISA, own less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the value of each class of equity interests in the Purchaser (excluding from the computation interests of any individual or entity with discretionary authority or control over the assets of the Purchaser). If Purchaser is such an entity and at any time twenty-five percent (25%) or more of such value is or comes to be held by Benefit Plan Investors (a “25% Purchaser”), Purchaser shall immediately notify the Company in writing that Purchaser has become a 25% Purchaser. If Purchaser is or becomes a 25% Purchaser or an Employee Benefit Plan, Purchaser understands and agrees that (i) its subscription may be reduced by the Company (in any manner that the Company considers appropriate) to an amount that, when aggregated with all other Benefit Plan Investor participation in the Company, such participation in the Company is less than twenty-five percent (25%), and (ii) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in the Company Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall have the right to require Purchaser to withdraw any or all of its investment at any time or from time to time, if in the exclusive discretion of the Company, such withdrawal is advisable to limit participation by Benefit Plan Investors in the Company to less than twenty-five percent (25%). If Purchaser is an Employee Benefit Plan or a 25% Purchaser, the person signing this Agreement on behalf of Purchaser also makes the additional representations and warranties attached hereto.
(p) If Purchaser is a qualified plan (including a Keogh plan or an Individual Retirement Account) or is otherwise a Benefit Plan Investor, to the best of Purchaser’s knowledge, neither the Company nor any affiliate (i) has investment discretion with respect to the assets being used to purchase the Shares, (ii) regularly gives individualized investment advice which serves as the primary basis for the investment decisions made with respect to such assets, or (iii) is otherwise a fiduciary with respect to such assets.
(q) Either (i) no part of the assets to be used to purchase the Shares constitutes assets of any employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or (ii) part of the assets to be used to purchase the Shares constitutes assets of one or more employee benefit plans subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and such purchase is eligible for coverage under one or more statutory or administrative exemptions from the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA and the Code.
(r) Neither Purchaser nor, to its knowledge after making due inquiry, any person or entity controlled by Purchaser, or if Purchaser is other than a natural person, any person or entity controlled by, controlling or under common control with Purchaser nor any person having a beneficial interest in Purchaser:

4
(5) is (i) a current or former senior official in the executive, legislative, administrative, military, or judicial branch of a foreign government (whether elected or not), a senior official of a major foreign political party, or a senior executive of a foreign government-owned commercial enterprise, (ii) a corporation, business or other entity that has been formed by, or for the benefit of, any such individual (iii) an immediate family member of any such individual, or (iv) a person who is widely and publicly known (or is actually known by Purchaser) to maintain a close personal relationship with any such individual (collectively, an “SFPF”).

(u) If Purchaser is a financial institution or financial intermediary, Purchaser has taken, and will continue to take, reasonable steps, consistent with industry practice for comparable organizations and in any event as required by law, to ensure that it is and shall be in compliance with all current and future Anti-Money Laundering Laws, and laws, regulations, and government guidance for the prevention of terrorism, terrorist financing and drug trafficking.

Purchaser consents to the disclosure to U.S. regulators and law enforcement authorities by the Company and its affiliates and agents of such information about Purchaser that the Company reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable U.S. anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist laws and regulations and OFAC Laws and Regulations.
(w) If Purchaser is a financial institution or financial intermediary, Purchaser agrees to adopt and maintain adequate policies, procedures and controls to ensure that it is, and that each holder of any beneficial interest in it is, in compliance with all OFAC Laws and Regulations, Executive Orders and related government guidance (such OFAC policies, procedures and controls are collectively referred to as “Purchaser OFAC Policies”).

The Company will keep Purchaser OFAC Policies and the Entity Investor OFAC Policies, and the information collected thereby, confidential subject to customary exceptions for legal process, auditors, regulators, or as otherwise reasonably required by the Company for enforcement of its rights and/or in connection with reasonable business use for holding and dealing with its assets and investments.
5

If such policies, procedures, and controls, as applicable, and such measures are not modified to the satisfaction of the Company within thirty (30) days following notice to Purchaser of the Company’s determination, Purchaser acknowledges that the Company, in addition to all of their other rights and remedies, may declare that a breach of this Agreement exists with respect to Purchaser.
(y) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that if, following its investment in the Company, the Company reasonably believes that Purchaser has breached its representations and warranties or its agreements set forth in this Agreement, or a breach of this Agreement otherwise has been declared to exist with respect to Purchaser, the Company has the right or may be obligated to freeze the investment to prohibit additional investments, to segregate the assets constituting the investment in accordance with applicable OFAC Laws and Regulations, to decline any redemption requests, or to redeem Purchaser’s investment. Purchaser further acknowledges that it will have no claim against the Company, or any of its respective affiliates, officers, directors, stockholders, employees, and agents for any form of damages as a result of any of the foregoing actions.

ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF
25% PERSONS AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
1. If Purchaser is an Employee Benefit Plan, such person is either a named fiduciary of the Employee Benefit Plan (as defined in Section 402(a)(2) of ERISA) or an investment manager of the Employee Benefit Plan (as defined in Section 3(38) of ERISA) with full authority under the terms of the Employee Benefit Plan and full authority from all Employee Benefit Plan beneficiaries, if required, to cause the Employee Benefit Plan to invest in the Company. Such investment has been duly approved by all other named fiduciaries whose approval is required, if any, and is not prohibited or restricted by any provisions of the Employee Benefit Plan or of any related instrument.
2. Such person has independently determined that the investment by the Employee Benefit Plan or 25% Purchaser in the Company satisfies all requirements of Section 404(a)(1) of ERISA, specifically including the “prudent man” standards of Section 404(a)(1)(B) and the “diversification” standard of Section 404(a)(1)(C), and will not be prohibited under any of the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975(c)(1) of the Code. Such person has requested and received all information from the Company that such person, after due inquiry, considered relevant to such determinations. In determining that the requirements of Section 404(a)(1) are satisfied, such person has taken into account the risk of a loss of the Employee Benefit Plan’s or 25% Purchaser’s investment and that an investment in the Company will be relatively illiquid, and funds so invested will not be readily available for the payment of employee benefits. Taking into account these factors, and all other factors relating to the Company, the undersigned has concluded that investment in the Company constitutes an appropriate part of the Employee Benefit Plan’s or 25% Purchaser’s overall investment program.
3. Such person will notify the Company, in writing, of (A) any termination, merger or consolidation of the Employee Benefit Plan or the 25% Purchaser, (B) any amendment to any such Employee Benefit Plan or any related instrument that materially affects the authority of any named fiduciary or investment manager to authorize plan investments, and (C) any alteration in the identity of any named fiduciary or investment manager, including such person, who has the authority to approve plan investments.
4. The Company and its affiliates do not render any investment advice on a regular basis pursuant to a mutual understanding, arrangement or agreement, written or otherwise, between the Employee Benefit Plan or any Employee Benefit Plan investing in the 25% Purchaser and any of such parties who will act in regard to the Company and none of such parties renders any investment advice to any such Employee Benefit Plan that furnishes a primary basis for investment decisions with respect to assets of any such Employee Benefit Plan.
5. Purchaser agrees to notify the Company within thirty (30) days if any of the foregoing representations are no longer true. If the Company or any officer, director, employee or agent of the Company is ever held to be a fiduciary, it is agreed that, in accordance with Sections 405(b)(1), 405(c)(2), and 405(d) of ERISA, the fiduciary responsibilities of that person shall be limited to such person’s duties in administering the business of the Company, and such person shall not be responsible for any other duties with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan or any Employee Benefit Plan investing in the 25% Purchaser (specifically including evaluating the initial or continued appropriateness of any such Employee Benefit Plan’s investment in the Company under Section 404(a)(1) of ERISA).

EXHIBIT A
Risk Factors
Investing in the Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as other information in the Form 10-Q and other Company reports filed with the SEC, before deciding whether to invest in the Shares. The occurrence of any of the events described below could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. In such an event, you may lose all or part of your investment.
The Shares are a risky investment and may not be suited to your investment objectives. The following factors should be considered carefully in evaluating your purchase and the business and prospects of the Company. Each prospective investor should thoroughly and carefully evaluate these investment considerations and risk factors, preferably with the advice of counsel. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve positive investment returns.
These Risk Factors may contain forward-looking statements which reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Those forward-looking statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts, including statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intends,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward looking statements, including any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new products, services, developments or the status of competitors; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements of belief; any statements regarding the validity of our intellectual property; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Such “forward-looking statements” are subject to risks and uncertainties set forth from time to time in the Risk Factors below.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements as they speak only of the Company’s views as of the date the statement was made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
General Risks Related to the Company’s Business
We recently paid one-time compensation to several individuals for their services to the Company. Aaron Klusman and Michael Witherill were appointed officers and directors of the Company effective September 18, 2020 and had not received any compensation for their services until January 7, 2021. As compensation for their services, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a one-time payment of $125,000 for each of Mr. Klusman and Mr. Witherill. The Board of Directors also authorized a one-time payment of $7,500 to Ms. Lana Dodd for her services to the Company. On March 2, 2021, Mr. Witherill resigned from his positions as Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, and Treasurer of the Company and Rick Gean was appointed to such positions. Mr. Gean will receive $96,000 per year as compensation for his services. Capital raised in the Company’s ongoing offering may be used to pay salaries to officers and there is no assurance that these payments will not increase in the future.
23
Change in business focus. The Company underwent a change in control transaction effective September 4, 2020, as a result of which new management of the Company terminated the Company’s existing business operations and decided to reorient the Company’s business activities into commercial real estate or other ventures. There can be no assurances that the new business focuses will ultimately be achieved and be successful. The Company’s future business activities will be subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the need for additional capital, and the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be impacted by a number of factors, many of which will be beyond the Company’s control.
Our letters of intent may not materialize into acquisitions. On October 27, 2020, the Company paid $50,000 to Klusman Family Holdings, LLC (“KFH”) as an advance against the purchase price under a binding letter of intent for the Company to acquire 100% of the membership interest in KFH, a company engaged in the commercial real estate business in Arizona. Consideration for the Company’s acquisition of the membership interest in KFH will consist of payments totaling $1,500,000 and the issuance of 10,945,250 shares of common stock of the Company. However, management is now contemplating terminating this letter of intent and pursuant a direct purchase of real property in Arizona, although there can be no assurance that this will occur.
Additionally, on March 25, 2021, the Company entered into an Assignment and Assumption of Letter of Intent with KFH whereby the KFH assigned and the Company assumed the obligations under a nonbinding letter of intent for the purchase of 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Spiritual Gangster, Inc. (“Spiritual Gangster”), a company engaged in the business of selling yoga clothing. Consideration for the Company’s acquisition of the stock of Spiritual Gangster will be $42,500,000 payable at closing. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to complete the transactions under one or both of the letters of intent under the terms and conditions as outlined herein, or at all.
The transactions contemplated by the letters of intent with KFH and/or Spiritual Gangster might not materialize. Currently, we are solely relying on these letters of intent to acquire the companies. White we intend to fully enforce our letter of intent with Spiritual Gangster and may enforce our letter of intent with KFH, the transactions outlined therein are ultimately subject to negotiating asset or stock purchase or merger agreements in good faith among the parties. Failure to reach consensus may subject us to significant delays in completing the acquisitions of one or both companies, require court action to enforce it or may even ultimately result in failure to consummate the purchases of one or both companies we require to operate. Failure to do so will have a material adverse effect on the Company and may ultimately not permit us to achieve our business plans altogether.
We have outstanding debt to related parties. The Company has entered into several promissory notes which will need to be repaid in the foreseeable future. An event of default under those notes could negatively impact the Company and its operations. On October 27, 2020, the Company, as borrower, executed a Promissory Note payable to Farm House Partners LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“Farm House”), as Lender, for a loan in principal amount of $50,000.00. The Note matures on October 27, 2021. On December 8, 2020, the Company executed a Promissory Note payable to Farm House pursuant to which the Company borrowed $20,000. The note bears no interest and matured on January 31, 2021. Farm House is the owner of approximately 78.8% of the shares of common stock of the Company and Michael Witherill, the Company’s Vice-Chair, is the manager of Farm House.
We have extended loans to various related-parties to acquire real property but there is no guarantee that such acquisitions will take place and we may extend additional loans to them in the future. As of February 28, 2021, the Company has advanced an aggregate of approximately $870,000 to KFH and may advance additional amounts in the future. Each of the advances made was evidenced by a promissory note payable by KFH to the Company, but here can be no assurance that these advances will be fully repaid. The proceeds of the each of these advances is to be used by KFH toward the purchase of real property located in Arizona. Aaron Klusman is the sole member of KFH. Mr. Klusman is also Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of the Company.
24
There are inherent risks with real estate investments. Investments in real estate assets are subject to varying degrees of risk. For example, an investment in real estate cannot generally be quickly converted to cash, limiting our ability to promptly vary our portfolio in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions. Investments in real estate assets also are subject to adverse changes in general economic conditions which reduce the demand for rental space. Other factors also affect the value of real estate assets, including:
| ● | federal, state or local regulations and controls affecting rents, zoning, prices of goods, fuel and energy consumption, water and environmental restrictions; |
| ● | the attractiveness of a property to tenants; and |
| ● | labor and material costs. |
Further, our investments in real estate following the potential acquisition of KFH may not generate revenues sufficient to meet operating expenses.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Company. The global outbreak of COVID-19 has led to severe disruptions in general economic activities, as businesses and governments have taken broad actions to mitigate this public health crisis. Although the Company has not experienced any significant disruption to its business to date, these conditions could significantly negatively impact the Company’s business in the future.
The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak ultimately impacts the Company’s business, future revenues, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity and longevity, the actions to curtail the virus and treat its impact (including an effective vaccine), and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, the Company may be at risk of experiencing a significant impact to its business as a result of the global economic impact, including any economic downturn or recession that has occurred or may occur in the future. As a result of the impact of COVID-19 on capital markets, the availability, amount and type of financing available to the Company in the near future is uncertain and cannot be assured and is largely dependent upon evolving market conditions and other factors. The Company intends to continue to monitor the situation and may adjust its current business plans as more information and guidance become available.
The loss or unavailability of any of our executive officers or other key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business. We depend greatly on the efforts of our executive officers and other key employees to manage our operations. The loss or unavailability of any of our executive officers or other key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business.
The Company has generated operating losses since its change of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities and obtaining loans from various financial institutions. We have limited historical, operating, or financial information upon which to evaluate our performance and have not retained an independent accounting firm to audit our financial records. There can be no assurance that the Company will attain profitability. Funds required for the initial operations over the next 18 months have not yet been determined and may be for amounts the Company is not able to raise.
25
We have a limited operating history and rely heavily on our management to become profitable. The Company is subject to all the substantial risks inherent in the commencement of a new business enterprise. We anticipate that our expenses will increase in the foreseeable future. Costs including capital required investments in commercial real estate ventures as well as acquisition costs for legal and other related expenses to close on the acquisitions of properties, the filing of SEC reports, and the general marketing and administrative overhead associated with a new business. These efforts may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate, and we may not succeed in increasing our revenues sufficiently to offset these higher expenses. There can be no assurance that we will be profitable in the future.
Our operations are subject to cyber-attacks that could have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition. Our operations are increasingly dependent on digital technologies and services. We use these technologies for internal purposes, including data storage, processing and transmissions, as well as in our interactions with investors and target investments. Digital technologies are subject to the risk of cyber-attacks. If our systems for protecting against cybersecurity risks prove not to be sufficient, we could be adversely affected by, among other things: loss of or damage to proprietary or confidential information, or investors, or employee data; interruption of our business operations; and increased costs required to prevent, respond to, or mitigate cybersecurity attacks. These risks could harm our reputation and our relationships with investors, employees and other third parties, and may result in claims against us. These risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition.
As a result of our limited operating history, our plan for growth, and the competitive nature of the markets in which we plan to compete, we cannot accurately predict the Company’s future revenue, capital requirements, and operating expenses. We may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected shortfall in revenue. Our operating expenses may increase significantly. To the extent that these expenses precede or are not rapidly followed by a corresponding increase in revenue or additional sources of financing, our business, operating results, and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.
Difficult conditions in the global capital markets and economy generally, as well as political conditions in the United States and elsewhere, may materially adversely affect our business. Our business will be materially affected by conditions in the global capital markets and the economy generally, both in the United States and elsewhere around the world. Economic growth, job growth, and general economic conditions in the United States have been severely impacted by the current CVID-19 pandemic in recent months, and there is no guarantee that favorable economic conditions will return in the near future. Should economic growth continue to remain, it may have an adverse effect on us, in part because we will be very dependent upon consumer behavior once we begin operations. A prolonged period of slow economic growth or deterioration in economic conditions could change consumer behaviors. Factors such as consumer spending, business investment, government spending, tariffs, interest rates, tax rates, fuel, and other energy costs, the volatility and strength of the capital markets, and inflation all affect the business and economic environment and, ultimately, our ability to generate revenue. An economic downturn characterized by higher unemployment, lower family income, lower corporate earnings, lower business investment, and lower consumer spending would likely materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
26
Risks Related to the Offering
If we do not raise sufficient capital, and if we cannot obtain adequate financing, we may cease operations. If we fail to raise enough capital, we will be impeded from fully implementing our business plans which could have a material adverse effect upon our ability to generate revenue and income. Not fully implementing our strategy will significantly constrain our scope and opportunities, slowing or possibly even halting our plans to expand into additional much more profitable industries and markets. While we expect to continue raising capital, we have no committed sources of additional financing and our officers and directors are not required to provide any portion of our future financing requirements. We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all if and when we need it. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed, we may not be able to pursue our business strategies as anticipated, or at all, and we may cease operations. We plan to raise additional funds by raising more capital through other shares offerings which will dilute your ownership in the Company. In addition, any new securities could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the Shares. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that additional financing will be available when and to the extent we require or that, if available, it will be on acceptable terms.
Ownership of our Shares is concentrated in a majority stockholder. The concentration of our capital stock ownership is with Farm House Partners, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company formed in June, 2020. After the offering, Farm House will continue to retain majority control of the Company.
We will have broad discretion in how we use the net proceeds from this Offering. We intend to use the net proceeds we receive from this Offering to finance the acquisition of KFH and/or Spiritual Gangster; for working capital required to accelerate growth; for capital expenditures; for legal fees related to compliance with securities laws; and for general corporate purposes to implement our business plan. However, we will have broad discretion in how we use the net proceeds of this Offering. These proceeds could be applied in ways that do not improve our operating results or increase the value of your investment. You may not have the opportunity to influence our decisions on how to use the net proceeds from this Offering.
Raising additional capital may cause additional dilution to our stockholders or restrict our operations. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a stockholder. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring distributions. Any of these events could adversely affect our ability to achieve our product development and commercialization goals and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
There is no public market for the Shares. The Shares will represent an illiquid investment. There is no trading market for any of the Shares now or for the foreseeable future. Moreover, the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state. Pending any such registration, the Shares are “restricted securities” and may not be transferred or sold by investors in the absence of registration or an applicable exemption from registration. The Company is not obligated to undertake any registration or qualification for any exemption and presently has no intention to do so. Additionally, any transfer must satisfy counsel for the Company that the proposed transfer is consistent with applicable law as a condition precedent to such transfer and it is likely the transferring assignee will be required to satisfy the suitability standards of the original investors. Consequently, it may not be possible for persons desiring to sell their Shares to locate qualified purchasers or to use the Shares as collateral for a loan. Each investor should, therefore, view his investment as a long-term investment and should not rely upon his investment in the Shares as a source for meeting any emergency or contingency in his financial affairs.
We have agreed to provide indemnification to our officers and directors. The Company’s Bylaws provide indemnification to the full extent provided by law to our directors and officers, and provide that, to the extent permitted by Nevada law, a director will not be personally liable for monetary damages to the Company or its stockholders for breach of his or her fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for certain actions that may not be limited under Nevada law. These indemnification provisions may limit the ability of stockholders to seek recourse against our officers and directors.
27
This is a private offering with no regulatory agency review. The Company has not registered this offering under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemptive provisions of Section 4(2) of that Act and Regulation D promulgated by the SEC. The Company also has relied on apparently available exemptions from securities qualification requirements under applicable state securities laws. There can be no assurance that the offering currently qualifies or will continue to qualify under one or more of such exemptive provisions due to, among other things, the adequacy of disclosure and the manner of distribution, the existence of similar offerings in the past or in the future, or the retroactive change of any securities law or regulation. If, and to the extent that, claims or suits for rescission are brought and successfully concluded for failure to register this offering or other offerings or for facts or omissions constituting offenses under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), as amended, or applicable state securities laws, the Company could suffer material adverse effects, jeopardizing its ability to operate, even if the Company ultimately prevails in its defense.
We do not intend to declare any dividends on our Shares. We do not anticipate paying any dividends to our stockholders for the foreseeable future on our Shares. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial conditions, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our Board deems relevant.
Regulation under the Investment Company Act. The Company has not registered with the SEC as an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Investment Company Act”) in reliance on an exemption from such registration and with respect to which the Company believes it is qualified. Neither a legal opinion nor a no-action position has been requested of the SEC staff on this issue. In addition, in order to comply with the terms of the exemption(s) upon which the Company is relying, the Company may not be able to make certain investments or engage in certain activities that it otherwise may pursue, but which are prohibited under the subject exemption. If the SEC or a court of competent jurisdiction were to find that the Company is required to register as an investment company, there could be significant negative consequences, including, without limitation, fines, penalties or costs associated with having to register as an investment company or defend against lawsuits or other proceedings. Should the Company be subjected to any or all of the foregoing, the Company would be affected materially and adversely.
No officer of the Company is registered as a broker or dealer under the Exchange Act or any other securities law. The Company does not believe any officer is required to be registered as a broker or dealer, but if the SEC or the securities administrator of any other state were to assert that such registration is required, the Company would bear the resulting increased expenses and its activities would be restricted, which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business.
Lack of separate counsel. Legal counsel for the Company does not represent the interests of the investors in connection with the Offering, and such counsel disclaims any fiduciary or attorney-client relationship with the investors. The Company has been represented by Gallagher & Kennedy, P.A. solely with respect to certain corporate and securities matters. No independent legal due diligence has been conducted by the Company on behalf of any investors with respect to this Offering. Investors are encouraged to engage independent legal counsel at their expense to advise them with respect to this Offering and review of any information provided by the Company.
